Ferrari 488 Spider (2015)

Launched to the media on July 29th 2015, the Ferrari 488 Spider is the latest in a long-running series of mid-engined V8 road-going sportscars from the Ferrari marque.

 

Notably, this is the first open-topped mid-engine Ferrari deploying turbochargers to boost performance.

 

The 488 Spider is powered by the same 500kW/760Nm 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 as the GTB, making the new Spider able to complete the 0-100km/h sprint in “three seconds flat", says Ferrari, and to hit 200km/h from standstill in just 8.7 seconds.

 

The shape at first glance is an evolutionary advance on the Ferrari 458 Spider that preceded it, though there are many subtle design changes.

 

Finished in a fetching shade of metallic blue, the first release images show a pleasing addition to the Ferrari lineup.

 

This Lego miniland-scale Ferrari 488 Spider has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 93rd BUild Challenge, - "Appease the Elves Summer Automobile Build-off (Part 1)", - a design challenge combining the resources of LUGNuts, TheLegoCarBlog (TLCB) and Head Turnerz.
