The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider joined the 488 lineup at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance as a replacement for the 458 Speciale Aperta. The Ferrari 488 Pista replaced the iconic 458 Speciale, and it’s the first of its kind to hide a turbocharged engine under the hood. Just like its predecessor, the 458 Speciale Aperta, the 488 Pista Spider is identical to its coupe sibling below the waist. It boasts the same changes front and rear, starting with the brand-new front bumper that includes an F1-inspired S-duct and splitter design borrowed from the 488 GTE race cars. The latter creates more suction to increase downforce. The Pista Spider thus joins the Pista coupe as Ferrari’s most powerful V-8 sports cars ever. Ferrari didn’t have much to say about the Spider’s performance, but it’s safe to assume it’s just as quick as the coupe. Roadsters are usually a bit heavier, but companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini manage to keep weight as low as possible through the extensive use of carbon and aluminum. The coupe takes 2.85 seconds to accelerate from zero to 62 mph, and the Spider shouldn’t be notably slower. If anything, it should get there in 2.9 clicks, which makes it around two seconds quicker than the regular 488 Spider. This benchmark also makes it quicker than the previous 458 Speciale. Introduced in 2017, the Huracan Performance is already a car that needs no introduction. It’s one of the most menacing road-legal Lambo built to date, and much like the 488 Pista, it’s a race car in disguise. Based on the familiar Huracan, the Performante sports an intricate aerodynamic package (called ALA) and a revised chassis for enhanced performance. A retuned version of the company’s 5.2-liter V-10 engine sends 631 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. For 2018, Lambo introduced a Spyder version with the exact same features and performance figures. The Performance Spyder is a bit slower though, needing 3.1 seconds to hit 62 mph, while top speed is inferior at 202 mph. On the other hand, it’s astoundingly agile on the race track. While there’s no benchmark for the Spyder, the coupe lapped the Nurburgring in an amazing 6:52.01 minutes. Pricing could start from around $300,000 before options.
