We are now one week away from the official debut of the Ferrari 488 Spider, which is scheduled for the Frankfurt Motor Show. Nevertheless, the topless supercar has already showed up in China.
To the best of our knowledge, these are the first real-world photos of the Prancing Horse’s latest model. Despite the average quality of the pics, the 488 Spider looks just as good as it does in the press photos.
The supercar was spotted in the city of Nanjing in Jiangsu Province, being parked in front of a Maserati dealer, as Carnewschina writes. This leads us to believe it was used for an employee training session.
This is the kind of car that sells itself and yet you can never go wrong with such actions, especially given the extreme prices on the Chinese market. We don’t know the sticker price for the Spider, but we can tell you the GTB fixed-roof model retails for 3.38 million yuan (that’s $530,000 or EUR480,000 at the current exchange rates).
After all, McLaren is so confident about the performance figures, as well as the feel of its Spider models that they’ve developed a habit out of sending Spider models out to comparison tests that involve Coupes.
As for the Lamborghini side of the competition, the Raging Bull hasn’t introduced the Spider incarnation of the Huracan yet. Nevertheless, this is expected to make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, at least in concept car form.

The Spider vs. Coupe game
Starting with the 458 Italia, Maranello engineers managed to make the Spider feel just as sharp as the coupe, at least in terms of street driving. We expect the major changes that have led to the introduction of the 488 to close the gap between the two body styles even further.After all, McLaren is so confident about the performance figures, as well as the feel of its Spider models that they’ve developed a habit out of sending Spider models out to comparison tests that involve Coupes.
