Ferrari 458 Spider

The Ferrari 458 Spider, strangely enough it isn't spelt "Spyder" is Ferrari's attempt at turning their ex-flagship car into a cabriolet. I'm not going to comment on the specifications because they are basically identical to the 458, but it's going to be a bit heavier so I would expect it to have a lower top speed and acceleration (0-60). The appearance of this car is just like the 458, which in my opinion was not as great as I expected. It's very scientific and each part matters, but it gets to a point where it looks like a toy you can experiment on - and with plastic flaps that slightly help make the car more aerodynamic. The rear end of the car (LOL) is a far different story. It is scientifically clean and is absolutely perfect. Each curve connects and the rear lights feel like the final piece in an overpriced steel and aluminium puzzle. Because it's made by Ferrari the steering wheel is excessively littered with gadgets to improve car performance and the seats and dashboard all are refined to look like they are worth the price you paid. The actual roof is a cabriolet, but I'm a bit uncertain as there is a variety of imagery and some suggests that the 458 Spider is actually a convertible, but none-the-less it's a brilliant looking car from the rear and the front's not too bad, and it performs like a Ferrari should.
