2012 Ferrari 458 Spider
Unveiled at the September 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Ferrari 458 was the successor to the popular F430 and became one of the most recognizable and sportiest V-8 models Ferrari had ever offered. Designed by Pininfarina with styling influenced by the Enzo and Ferrari's Millechili concept car, the 458 integrated technology that was derived from the company's successful and historic Formula 1 team. The 458 would see a production run between 2010 and 2015, before it was succeeded by the 488 GTB. Though it had a five-year run, the 458 has seen a substantial appreciation since its release, and one that only grows as each year goes by.
Whether at a standstill or in motion, this 2012 458 Spider portrays an unmistakable presence. Finished in Grigio Silverstone over a Cuoio (light brown) interior, this supercar has only been cherished by two owners since new and shows just 18,478 miles from new on the odometer. Accompanied by a clean CARFAX® report and additional historical service notes, this Ferrari has clearly been well-cared for. Thoroughly equipped from the factory, this 458 is fitted with over $34,000 in factory options. Exterior factory options include $7,294 20-inch diamond forged wheels, aluminum gray brake calipers, electric mirrors with memory, and desirable Scuderia shields on the front fenders.
Inside, this 458 Spider cocoons the driver in a cockpit with open air pleasure that blends luxury with purpose. Well kept under previous ownership, factory options include $3,728 Daytona-style seats, a yellow tachometer display, colored stitching in the leather, and many other options.
As if this Ferrari 458 wasn't already thoroughly optioned and spec'd, the current owner took this Spider to Black Star Distribution in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, where they upgraded it with nearly $50,000 in additional upgrades. Mainly focusing on the cabin, Black Star installed OEM-style carbon fiber throughout, which included the steering wheel with an AM LED panel, the dash, door panels, and gearbox control. They also equipped this example with a tuned Capristo exhaust that produces a memorable sound, but if you and your lucky guest would rather listen to the radio, don't worry because Black Star upgraded that with a Audison 10-inch Shallow Mount subwoofer that was custom built behind the passenger seat and a Hertz five-channel amplifier. A full list of factory options and Black Star upgrades can be found on the document section of the website or at the Document Station during the auction.
A symphony of speed and precision with its 562-horsepower naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V-8 engine, a 0 to 60 mph sprint is achieved in an impressive 3.3-seconds, which helps propel this 458 to the magical 200-mph mark, placing it in the upper echelons of the supercar realm. More than just a fast silver blur on the road, the Spider offers a visceral driving experience. The mid-engine layout provides ideal balance, while the aluminum chassis, honed for lightness, aids in razor-sharp handling. Ferrari's E-Diff and F1-Trac systems work in concert to provide unparalleled grip and stability, whether you're carving up a mountain road or attacking an apex on the track.
A milestone in automotive history, this Ferrari 458 Spider is a fixture for one of the world's most storied marques, and as Jeremy Clarkson once said while testing the 458 on a Top Gear episode, "The 458 is one of the all-time greats." Rightfully optioned from the factory, and thoughtfully upgraded by Black Star, this unique two-owner, clean CARFAX® Ferrari 458 Spider can be enjoyed on daily commutes, extended touring events, or be heavily admired while turning heads at Cars & Coffee events around the country.
