This 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider listed on Bring a Trailer is an outstanding example of one of Ferrari’s most significant modern models, showing just 5,345 miles. As the brand’s 50th open-top car, the Pista Spider is powered by a twin-turbocharged V8—Ferrari’s first turbo V8 in a road car since the iconic F40—and produces 710 horsepower, making it the most powerful roadgoing V8 Ferrari at launch.
Acceleration is staggering, with a 0–62 mph time of 2.85 seconds and a claimed 211-mph top speed, yet the car is equally focused on balance and precision. True to its “Pista” (track) name, it features F1-inspired aerodynamics, extensive carbon-fiber construction, and the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer system, which improves control at the limit through brake modulation. Despite being a hardtop convertible, it weighs over 200 pounds less than the 488 GTB coupe.
This example is finished in classic Rosso Corsa and was specified with the $15,000 Extended Racing Livery, adding striking Nero Daytona and Argento Nürburgring stripes that sharply contrast the bodywork. Power comes from a ferocious twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8, paired with a 6-speed paddle-shifted, clutchless semi-automatic transmission for explosive acceleration. Stopping power is handled by carbon-ceramic brakes with eye-catching yellow calipers.
Its race-bred chassis features double-wishbone front suspension, a multi-link rear setup, and magnetorheological dampers at all four corners, delivering razor-sharp responsiveness. Extensive carbon-fiber aerodynamics—including front flaps, vents, splitters, engine cover, and rear diffuser—enhance both performance and visual drama. Additional carbon accents extend throughout the cabin, complemented by Alcantara seat and rear shelf trim.
Inside, the car offers Ferrari’s Manettino steering wheel, Apple CarPlay, AFS lighting, dual-zone climate control, and rear parking sensors. Rolling on 20-inch forged wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, this 488 Pista delivers a truly exceptional supercar experience.
