Ferrari F430 Spider Introduction
The F430 Spider joins the F430 as the latest addition to the new generation of Ferrari V8-engined sports cars. The Spider boasts all of the F430's stunning technology, itself the product of a close working relationship with Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva F1 racing division.
Serving as the replacement to the outgoing 360 Spider, the F430 Spider features a new 4.3-liter V8 and a host of subtle styling changes: revised headlights, larger front air dam inlets, raised rear haunches with more pronounced vents, and a revised rear end that includes a new fascia and taillights sitting higher on the body.
The F430 Spider's all aluminium bodywork has also been carefully strengthened as has its chassis to guarantee both safety and the structural rigidity demanded by a car as high performance as this.
Two very robust steel roll-bars are integrated into the windshield structure to guarantee maximum occupant protection. The electric hood is fully automatic and fold away under its own flush-fitting tonneau cover, allowing
Ferrari's engineers to carefully hone the aerodynamics of the car with the hood down.
