Ferrari 488

This 2017 Ferrari 488 Spider is an Atelier commission with close to £60,000 in factory options — a figure that transforms an already exceptional car into something genuinely singular. The specification is built around an Italian flag theme: tricolour livery runs across the front bumper, side air vents, and engine compartment lid in Rosso Bandiera, Bianco Avus, and Verde Bandiera, while Atelier matte Nero forged wheels and Goldrake carbon fibre racing seats in black leather and Alcantara with tricolour stitching complete the coherent interior-exterior story. The Carbon Fibre Racing Package (£8,640) extends to rear air-ducts, fog lamp surround, side splitters, B-post trim, and sill kicks, while the front suspension lifter (£2,880) gives real-world clearance for a car sitting on 20-inch forged wheels.

At 13,784 miles from a 2017 registration, this is a car that has been used rather than stored — which, for a 488, is the right call. The complete Ferrari service history and manufacturer's warranty valid until August 2026 provide reassurance, and full-vehicle PPF protects the Rosso Corsa paintwork. Carbon ceramic brakes, Sport Exhaust, adaptive magnetorheological suspension, and the electronic differential are all present, meaning the mechanical specification is as thorough as the cosmetic one.

The 488 Spider uses the same 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 as the coupé, producing 660bhp through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with 0–62mph dispatched in 3.0 seconds and a 202mph top speed. The retractable hardtop adds open-air versatility without the structural compromises of a traditional soft-top, and the cabin — despite the full Atelier treatment — remains fundamentally driver-focused. Few 488 Spiders will have left the factory this distinctively dressed.
