Exclamation 458 Italia GTS (Spider) Spy shot!

Hey guys! What do you think?
Sorry the article is in Italian.. it says it's due to be launched in spring 2011...It also mentions it will have a crystal roof (I think quite similar to the superamerica)



Google Translate:

"The range of the Ferrari 458 is set to expand with the first Spider GTS, expected in spring next year, and then with the Scuderia, the sportiest version. The tandem discovery will differ significantly from the previous F430 Spider, with the fabric roof, the new model will in fact the glass roof that flips upright electrically and disappears behind the seats.

This spider, which is closer to the concept of "plate"is the result of an innovative patent and may offer more comfort. Other features are the same as the coupe, equipped with the V8 from 570 hp."

We had this picture up a ways ago so but this is a cleaner image, I do believe it is a photoshop though. INMO it will look very much like this though from what I have been told from source in Italy.

You are correct, this is a photoshop.

Ugh. I hope not. That's not a true convertible... more like a large moonroof. What's next, T-tops?

I wasnt a fan of the Targa tops on Ferrari's, the 355 spyder looked much better than the GTS model.

I hope it's not a hardtop like the Cali.

I always thought the 3 distinct 355 models was cool. All sexy in their own way. Classic!!

It will have a folding hardtop that we know for sure, the exact look and materials for the top we should know soon.
Another tidbit to mention is it may not be called the Italia Spider, it may have a unique branding minus the Italia name.

You can also see it's a pshop as it was taken from this set of images (see the backround)
