2020 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider

The 488 Pista Spider is the 50th open-top Ferrari and, as it turns out, probably the last lightweight special-series drop-top to use a pure combustion V8. This 2020 example carries the 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 711 bhp, with 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds and a 211 mph top speed, and it has covered just 2,606 miles. That is very little use for a car of this age, and it matters here because the Pista Spider lineage runs from the 16M Scuderia Spider through the 458 Speciale Aperta, with no equivalent after the F8 Spider.

The car is an Atelier build, finished in Grigio Squalo two-layer special paint. A Canna di Fucile livery with Giallo Modena stripe detailing runs over the body. Inside, the Blu Scuro Alcantara carries Giallo stitching and leather inserts on the seat sides, with matching Alcantara carpet, a yellow rev counter and yellow brake calipers. The options list is extensive and weighted towards weight and track focus: carbon racing seats, 20-inch forged wheels, titanium tailpipe tips, and carbon on the diffuser, engine covers, front flaps, air vents, side splitters and sill and B-post trim. Carbon ceramic brakes, magnetorheological dampers, the Race Manettino and F1 Traction Control with Side Slip Control integration are included. It also has a front-axle suspension lifter, a rear parking camera and the Scuderia Ferrari fender shields.

The car is UK supplied and the whole body is wrapped in paint protection film. It comes with Ferrari's seven-year servicing package, which runs until July 2027, and a Romans International Platinum Warranty.
