Could Ferrari present the 458 Italia Spider at Frankfurt?

We have talked a lot about a hypothetical Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder, a vehicle that will surely reach the market, although for now it is not known when or how. Because of this, and given the absence of statements from the executives of this mysterious brand, it is no surprise that the first rumours about the presentation of this very special vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show have started to circulate.

The latest rumours about the presentation of this open-top supercar come precisely from the German magazine AutoMotor und Sport, a publication which, as we have been able to confirm over recent years, has the good fortune of rarely getting its rumours about Ferrari wrong, so it is fair to assume they must have very good contacts within or close to this Italian supercar maker.

As for the model itself, we expect a vehicle whose most notable feature will precisely be the electrically operated fabric roof that will be stowed behind the front seats. Mechanically, Ferrari will once again fit the magnificent 4.5-litre V8, capable of producing 570 CV at 9,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 540 Nm at 6,000 rpm, with power sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed F1 dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
