Ferrari 458 Italia Spider - The Most Beautiful Modern Ferrari


Countless people have claimed that the most beautiful Ferraris are automotive masterpieces such as the 250 GTO Series Two and the 250 LM Berlinetta, but I have to admit, me being a man of modern taste, that the brand new Ferrari 458 Italia Spider beats them all. One look at this beautiful creation and any sane being will instantly fall in love. Not only is it a proper ferrari but it's got that X factor that just can't be explained. From every angle it looks like an insane monster but still keeps the refinement of that classy british gentleman who just sat down for his afternoon tea. The curvature throughout the whole body of the car is designed to perfection. The designers did a great job of designing this car si that it looks fast and refined while standing still.  I have to say this is the first beautiful Ferrari made in a long time and is definitely the best overall in their current lineup. 

But the fun doesn't end there. This is the first "real" hardtop convertible mid-engine supercar ever created (and I really hope the upcoming Lamborghini Aventador Roadster follows in its footsteps). More importantly it keeps the same direct injected 4.5 liter V8 engine delivering 562 hp and 398 ft. lb. of torque. Add in all those fancy Formula 1 gizmos and improved suspension and this beauty posts impressive figures: 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile is completed in 11.24 seconds, reaching a top speed of 198 mph (The upcoming Lamborghini better obliterate these times). If there is one improvement I would suggest that they should put a V12 in this beauty. That would be truly amazing.
