Ferrari 458 Spider Makes Private Debut Ahead of Frankfurt Reveal [Video]

[AutoGuide.com]

Ferrari recently held a private unveiling for the new 458 Spider in Maranello and Teamspeed member GrayTT was on hand to capture the action. And in true Ferrari form, the Italian automaker brought out three 458 Spiders, one in red, one in yellow and one in black. All three Spiders feature Ferrari's fully retractable hard top which is a world's first in a sports car with this type of layout.

The 458 Spider is powered by Ferrari's 4.5L V8 power plant with 562-hp and its top will take only 14 seconds to open or close. One thing's for sure, this is arguably Ferrari's sleekest and sexiest convertible and we could easily see ourselves in one or two, or all three.

Check out the video after the break and look for more photos from the official reveal with AutoGuide's Frankfurt Auto Show coverage beginning September 13th.
