Ferrari is one of the most respected and recognized brands across the globe. Originating in 1939, the prancing horse logo has dominated both the racing and luxury scene. It’s safe to say that anyone with even a passing interest in cars has hung up a Ferrari poster. For those looking to make their dreams become a reality, this 2016 Ferrari 488 Spider for sale could be calling your name.
Using the Ferrari 488 coupe as its foundation, the 488 GTS brings a top-down option without much compromise. This 2016 Ferrari 488 Spider for sale uses the same turbocharged 3.9L V8 found in the coupe. A departure from the previous 458 model’s naturally aspirated engine, Ferrari engineers were keen to deliver a turbocharged engine without any turbo lag. Thankfully, they succeeded, and the 488 opens up like any Ferrari before it. The V8 engine outputs an eye-watering 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque.
Not only does the engine deliver raw power, but it sounds great too. Ferrari has spent much time studying harmonics and tonality to bring an engine sound that nay auto enthusiast would love. This, of course, is even more appreciated with the top is down. Connected to the engine is a 7-speed automatic transmission with F1-inspired paddle shifters.
The 488 Convertible for sale can match its coupe sibling with a 0-60 speed time of 3.0 seconds. With a top speed of over 200 mph, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything faster in a convertible. Taking a convertible around the corners of a track is usually a poor choice. However, a spaceframe chassis mitigates that issue. With 11 different aluminum alloys, the 488 Convertible for sale can provide the same torsional rigidity as the coupe, an incredible feat.
In 2015, the Ferrari 488 was introduced to replace the now obsolete soft top. Not only did Ferrari somehow make the exotic car louder, but it offers better protection and sound insulation. With the top up, the 488 is almost indistinguishable from the coupe.
When extra sunshine and wind are requested, the hardtop retracts in about 14 seconds. This operation can be done at speeds up to 25 mph. A rear window can be fixed in three different positions to act as a wind deflector. This window can also be fully lowered with the top up to hear the glorious V8 better.
The interior features a design that doesn’t shy away from its Formula One roots. The most important part of the interior, the steering wheel, is a beautiful mix of leather and carbon fiber. To keep the driver’s hands on the wheel, stalks are removed with all functions mapped to the wheel. The horn is located at the ten and two positions, and the turn signals are located within reach of the thumbs. The bottom right of the wheel features one of Ferrari’s most famous motifs, the Manettino dial. Here, the driver can set what kind of drive they want. For city cruising, there’s the “Comfort” setting. When you want the purest driving experience imaginable, twist it to “Race” and hold on.
Unlike traditional cars, the carbon fiber adorned interior doesn’t have a center screen. Continuing with the philosophy of having everything in front of the driver, the infotainment system is found in the instrument cluster. It is, of course, compatible with luxury standards like Apple CarPlay.
This particular 2016 Ferrari 488 for sale comes in a beautiful Blu Corsa colorway. At home, on city streets, or at slick tracks, the Ferrari 488 Convertible for sale is the ultimate supercar.
