This white Ferrari 488 Spider with a red interior is based in Los Angeles. White skips the red paint cliche while the red cabin gives it away once the roof drops. Book it for an arrival, a shoot, or the afternoon you want a Ferrari roof down around Los Angeles.
The 3.9 liter twin turbo V8 sits behind your shoulders, and Ferrari tunes the torque by gear so the surge builds toward redline in the lower ratios instead of arriving all at once, which is why it barely feels turbocharged except for a faint whoosh under hard throttle. Side slip control lets the rear move a little under power and then quietly gathers it back up, so a corner taken too enthusiastically on Mulholland Drive still ends up straight. Roof down, the flat, hard edged note off the V8 fills the cabin instead of trailing behind you. In bumpy road mode the ride settles enough for Sunset Boulevard's patched sections. The first corner still arrives faster than you expect.
White is the clean read on a 488 Spider, none of the red paint cliche the shape usually carries, so photographs hold the bodywork rather than the color. Drop the roof and the red interior becomes the only saturated element in the frame, especially shot from above at a Beverly Hills valet stand or against the glass towers of Downtown. The red seats and stitching catch late light on Mulholland Drive better than the exterior ever will. Shoot the roof folding for the 14 seconds it takes, the panel lifting back while a cover rises behind the headrests. White also holds its edges cleanly in West Hollywood's evening light, when a red car would blow out.
We run two 488 Spiders, and this white over red car is the Los Angeles based one. If you are already in LA, working from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood or the Westside, this is the closer car, and it comes without the red paint cliche while still giving you the shape everyone already recognizes. Our other 488 Spider is grey over black and yellow and based in Orange County, a quieter color pick for a driver who wants to be noticed less. Choose this one when white on red is the read you want and Los Angeles is where you are starting from.
This is the 488 Spider, the mid-engined, rear-wheel drive Ferrari with the retractable hardtop that folds in 14 seconds at up to 30 mph. The engine is a 3.9 liter twin turbo V8 rated at 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque, run through a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox to the rear wheels only. This car is finished in white over a red interior, two seats, two doors, with carbon ceramic brakes standard on every 488. Side slip control and adjustable magnetic dampers, including a bumpy road setting, come with the car as built. Beyond the trim and this color combination, we are not naming options we have not confirmed on this specific car.
