Ferrari F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa launched the Ferrari 458 Spider at a special event at the Ritz Carlton during their visit to Bahrain to race in the 2012 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

The new Spider joins the 458 Italia, widening the range of Ferrari’s mid-rear engined V8s and offering the same technological solutions, handling and performance in a refined open-top configuration.

It is equipped with a Ferrari patented, fully- retractable hard top, a world-first for a sports car with this lay-out.

The 458 Spider is powered by Ferrari’s direct-injection 4.5-litre V8 which was nominated as the 2011 International Engine of the Year for its engineering excellence in terms of driveability, performance, economy and refinement.

The power is transferred to the road by Ferrari’s class-leading dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift transmission through the sophisticated E-Diff, itself integrated with the F1-Trac traction control and high-performance ABS for maximum handling dynamics
