Generally speaking, the Ferrari 488 Spider is as much about style as it is about performance. The problem is, some supercar buyers care a lot more about the latter.
Enter Creative Bespoke, a U.S. auto styling company that designed and built these upgrades specifically for the 488 Spider, while also coming up with the name SVR Aero Edition. As you can see, the changes are very significant.
The cost of the SVR full carbon aero package is $34,000. It contains the front and rear bumpers, carbon side blades, rear carbon wing and the front splitter. Then there’s the $14,000 carbon glass engine bonnet, the $8,000 GFG forged wheels, $3,000 Pirelli P-Zero tires, $1,900 Novitec lowering springs and more.
Altogether, the build sheet climbs to more than $74,000, which you’d need to pay on top of whatever it is you paid for the 488 Spider to begin with.
This particular 2017 model has 4,621 miles on the clock and it’s listed for sale on eBay for the whooping price of $398,000. That’s more than you’d spend on the brand new Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Inside, it’s very well equipped, featuring 4-way driver and passenger seats, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, aluminum door panel inserts, leather/aluminum console inserts, leather upholstered dashboard, full cloth headliner, leather door trim insert, leather seats, carbon fiber inserts and red contrast stitching everywhere you look.
Doing all the work from underneath is a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, producing 670 PS (661 HP) and 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) of torque, with the help of a 7-speed automatic. In a straight line, the 488 Spider will rocket to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.0 seconds and max out at 325 km/h (203 mph).
