Ferrari teases new 488 Spider supercar

Ferrari's new 488 Spider will have a V-8 turbo engine and a retractable hard-top roof that lowers in just 14 seconds. How fast is the car?

As if Ferrari fans don't have enough to drool over, the company is about to unveil a drop-top version of its 488 GTB mid-engine racer.

Like that supercar, the new 488 Spider will have a V-8 turbo engine. But for a roof, it will have a retractable hard top that lowers in just 14 seconds; and Ferrari promises it will be lighter weight than a typical soft-top convertible.

Aside from allowing divers to enjoy the sun and wind, the Spider can go from zero to 62 mph in three seconds, and reach a maximum speed of 203 mph.

"This is a car that is aimed squarely at clients seeking open-air motoring pleasure in a high-performance sports car with an unmistakable Ferrari engine sound," the luxury automaker said.
