Upon sampling the Ferrari 488 Pista for the first time, Chris Harris noted how it is "dynamically the best car Ferrari has ever made, and its powertrain sits at the heart of its success". Well, now you can sit even closer to that powertrain: welcome everyone, to the new Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, a convertible version of dynamically the best car Ferrari has ever made, unveiled at the Monterey car week festivities in California"s Pebble Beach. And as you can see, it has a stripe. But we"ll come back to that. So, that powertrain. Recipient of three Best Engine awards, it is a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with 711bhp and 568lb ft of torque, exactly like the coupe. It"ll also go from 0-62mph in 2.85s, exactly like the coupe. 0-124mph takes 8s (vs 7.6s for the coupe) while top speed is still 211mph.
