TürkçeBütün Ferrari tasarımlarında olduğu gibi, showroom’da sergilenen her yeni modelin, kendisinden önce gelenleri gölgede bırakması gerekiyor. Gaz pedalı eşleştirme (mapping), çok bağlantılı süspansiyon gibi özellikler, tavan açıkken bile araca maksimum hareket kabiliyeti sağlamak üzere ayarlanmış. Motorun sesi bile, araçtakileri cezp ediyor; Vivaldi’yi kıskandıracak bir “tempo rubato” (azalıp artan bir ritim ifade eden klasik müzik terimi).
Her bir santimi kusursuzluk tutkusuyla, alüminyum ve deriden yaratılmış Ferrari 458 Spider, otomobil endüstrisinin başarı çıtasını biraz daha yükseltiyor. Belki de bu otomobil, Enzo Ferrari’nin daha otomobillerinin mavi renkte olduğu ve Formula 1’in düzenlenmediği yıllarda yarışlar kazanırken oturttuğu felsefenin bir ürünü.
Bir efsane işte böyle yaratılıyor ve Maranello sakinleri, bunu çok iyi biliyor.
When neighbours in the peaceful town of Maranello saw Fernando Alonso whiz past aboard a brand-new yellow Ferrari, they knew what had been whispered about in recent months was now ready for the streets. The macchina unveiled by the Italian company at the most recent Frankfurt Motor Show had arrived
Ferrari’s customisation programme offers a full range of fabrics, colours, finishes and fixtures.
It features three collections: Classica, Scuderia and Inedita, all specially conceived at the Ferrari Design Centre.
The second customers decide to purchase a Ferrari 458 Spider, they benefit from the advice of a personal designer who accompanies them throughout the entire purchase and customisation process until the vehicle is delivered. The Carrozzeria Scaglietti programme continues to provide full customisation options geared towards a select public.
However, as with all Ferrari creations, each new model which hits the showroom must outshine its predecessors. Thus, certain features, such as the accelerator pedal mapping or multilink suspension, have been calibrated to ensure maximum sportiness even with the top down.
Even the sound of the engine has been tuned to captivate occupants; a manner of tempo rubato even Vivaldi would be proud of.
With every inch of aluminium and leather drenched with this enthusiasm for excellence, the Ferrari 458 Spider raises the automobile industry bar yet another notch. Perhaps this is fruit of the philosophy Enzo Ferrari managed to instil in his company, back when their cars were still blue and, while the Formula One did not exist, they were already winning races.
That’s how a legend is made. The inhabitants of Maranello know it well.

Italian Capriccio
to delight the eyes, ears and hearts of Ferrari fans the world over.
The Ferrari 458 Spider is the new and exclusive 8-cylinder Italian gem, which the company from Maranello designed to assuage the crème de la crème of its demanding clientele. We’re talking about a two-seat, mid-rear engine vehicle that boasts a retractable all-aluminium top, a feature virtually unheard of in this type of car.
The 458 Spider’s new hard top is not only 25 kilograms lighter than the traditional soft top, it is also quieter and faster, as it retracts and rises in just 14 seconds.
A 570 horsepower Ferrari V8 engine is charged with propelling the 458 Spider wherever the driver decides. The aforementioned engine, in tandem with the dual-clutch Ferrari F1 paddleshift transmission, enables the vehicle to go from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in under 3.4 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 320 kilometres per hour.
Yet the new Ferrari 458 Spider does not only shine with its stratospheric numbers. The combined-cycle HELE (High Emotion Low Emission) system ensures genuinely praiseworthy emission and fuel consumption stats in the city.
Likewise, the aluminium chassis and other alloy parts adhere to European safety protocols scheduled for implementation in 2020.
However, one of the factors in which Ferrari has delved deepest in recent years is vehicle customisation, affording the Italian company a mark of distinction that all other supercar manufacturers struggle to match.
