2018 Ferrari 488 Spider

Blu Tour De France is one of those Ferrari colours that rewards attention — a deep, shifting metallic blue that suits the 488 Spider's aerodynamic bodywork better than almost any alternative. This example has covered just 8,442 miles from new, making it one of the lower-mileage 488 Spiders available, and the factory options list suggests it was specified with genuine intent. The Carbon Fibre Racing Package brings Daytona-style carbon seats, carbon door panels, and full exterior carbon trim; the Crema leather interior with Blu special stitching echoes the bodywork colour in a way that reads as deliberate. Giallo Modena brake callipers add a further flash of contrast, and Scuderia Ferrari shields on the front wings complete the look.

The 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 660 bhp, reaches 62 mph in 3.0 seconds, and tops out at 202 mph — still a serious set of numbers. Front Suspension Lift makes daily use a practical reality rather than an anxious negotiation of ramps and driveways, while magnetorheological adaptive suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and an electronic differential give the 488 a level of chassis adjustability and approachability that marked a step forward over the naturally aspirated 458 it replaced. The retractable hardtop deploys in around 14 seconds, enabling genuine year-round use.

The car is UK-supplied from new with complete Ferrari service history and paint protection film applied across the entire vehicle. It is offered with a Romans International Platinum Warranty — a level of post-sale support that is noteworthy for a used car at this price point.
