Ferrari presenterar 488 Spider

Cab-versionen av 488 GTB

I början på året presenterade Ferrari uppföljaren till 458 Italia - 488 GTB. Nu är det dags för den cabbade versionen av samma bil, och den heter då givetvis 488 Spider.

Hjärtat i bilen är samma som i coupé-syskonet - en dubbelturbomatad V8:a på 3.9 liter som ger 670 hästar och 760 Nm. 0-100 km/h ska gå på tre sekunder blankt och toppfarten anges till 325 km/h. Kraften från motorn skickas till bakhjulen via en sjustegad automatlåda med paddlar bakom ratten. Plåttaket som viker sig bakåt tar 14 sekunder att fälla åt båda hållen. Bilens vikt anges till 1 525 kilo.

Bilen har officiell premiär på bilmässan i Frankfurt i höst men när den lanseras och vad den då kommer att kosta framgår tyvärr inte för tillfället. Allt om 488 Spider finns att läsa i pressmeddelandet nedan.

The Ferrari 488 Spider: The Ferrari 488 Spider:

performance and effortless driving for maximum drop-top fun -top fun top fun

Official unveiling scheduled for Frankfurt Motor Show

Maranello, 28 July 2015 – Ferrari announces the launch of the 488 Spider, its

most powerful ever mid-rear-engined V8 car to feature the patented retractable

hard top along with the highest level of technological innovation and with

cutting-edge design.

Ferrari was the first manufacturer to introduce the RHT (Retractable Hard Top)

on a car of this particular architecture. This solution ensures lower weight (-25

kg) and better cockpit comfort compared to the classic fabric soft-top. Just like

all previous spider versions of Ferrari’s models, this is a car that is aimed

squarely at clients seeking open-air motoring pleasure in a high-performance

sports car with an unmistakable Ferrari engine sound.

Every area of the car has been designed to set new technological benchmarks

for the sector: from the aluminium spaceframe chassis and bodyshell to the new

turbo-charged V8, aerodynamics that reconcile the need for greater downforce

with reduced drag along with the specific cabin air flow demands of an open-
top car, and vehicle dynamics that render it fast, agile and instantly responsive.

The world premiere of the 488 Spider will be at the Frankfurt International

Motor Show in September but can be seen from today finished in the new Blu

Corsa livery at www.ferrari.com.

The heart of the 488 Spider The heart of the 488 Spider

Beneath the engine cover throbs the 3902 cc turbo-charged V8 that debuted

just a few months ago on the 488 GTB. Its performance levels are nothing short

of extraordinary: a maximum power output of 670 CV combined with

maximum torque of 760 Nm at 3000 rpm send the 488 Spider sprinting from 0

to 100 km/h in 3 seconds flat and from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.7 seconds. This is

also an exceptionally efficient engine as it is not only 100 CV more powerful

than the previous naturally-aspirated V8 but also has lower CO2 emissions.

The turbo V8 has a unique character, delivering increasing levels of power right

across the rev range, and completely eliminating the traditional turbo lag with a

throttle response time of just 0.8 seconds. This is thanks not merely to

components such as the turbos, but also to a sophisticated production process

only made possible by Maranello’s leading-edge facilities which are shared with

the Scuderia to foster the transfer of racing technologies to the road cars.

In line with Ferrari tradition, this model has its own absolutely distinctive

soundtrack created using solutions such as exhaust headers with longer, equal-
length piping and a flat-plane crankshaft. It was also further enhanced by an in-
depth study of harmonics and tonality at different engine speeds. The sound is

seductive but never invasive when the top is dropped, with both volume and

clarity increasing as the engine instantly responds to the accelerator pedal and

revs rise, reinforcing the sensation of massive performance.

Sculpted by the wind Sculpted by the wind

This is also the most aerodynamically efficient Ferrari spider ever built, thanks to

a series of complex aero solutions designed to guarantee optimal downforce

whilst reducing drag, two normally mutually-exclusive objectives. Maranello’s

engineers managed to achieve both goals simultaneously by introducing several

innovative devices, including a blown spoiler and an aerodynamic underbody

incorporating vortex generators.

The air flow studies also took into account factors relating to in-car comfort.

The electric glass rear wind stop can be adjusted to one of three positions to

guarantee maximum comfort when the top is lowered. Fully lowering the wind

stop allows the occupants to enjoy the engine soundtrack even with the roof

raised regardless of the weather or driving conditions.

Form and function sculpted in aluminium Form and function sculpted in aluminium ted in aluminium

Designed around the concept of the retractable hard top, the 488 Spider has a

spaceframe chassis made of 11 different aluminium alloys combined with other

noble metals, such as magnesium, each one used in a highly specific way. This

yields the same torsional rigidity and beam stiffness figures as the coupé,

improving the chassis’ performance by 23% over that of its predecessor. An

extraordinary result, given that the roof is structural, that is only possible thanks

to the expertise of the Scaglietti centre of excellence that engineers Ferrari’s

aluminium chassis and bodies.

The RHT folds backwards in two overlapping sections to rest flush on the

engine in a very compact solution. The mechanism is exceptionally smooth and

takes just 14 seconds for the top to fully retract or deploy.

Working with aluminium is important not only in functional terms but also

because, by tradition, it demands every detail be treated sculpturally to express

the technical excellence of the project through its beauty. Cases in point are the

flying buttresses which optimally channel air flows to the engine cover, the

ribbing on the engine cover and the air intakes with sculpted mesh grilles which

lend that area of the car a sense of incredible dynamism. To achieve this result

the Ferrari Styling Centre completely reworked the aesthetics compared to the

488 GTB.

Speed and control across the board Speed and control across the board

The introduction of a sophisticated simulator, similar to the one used by the

Formula 1 Scuderia, allowed the human factor to influence the car’s design

from the earliest stages by giving the engineers instant feedback from the test-
drivers long before the first 488 prototype was physically built.

To make its dynamic behaviour even more engaging, the development team

honed the car’s mechanical set-up in tandem with its electronic systems which

are now fully integrated with the SSC2 Side Slip Angle Control System, resulting

in 12% faster acceleration out of corners than the 458 Spider.

Over all, response times are 9% more rapid than the previous Spider without

any compromise whatsoever being made in comfort. The car’s design was

adapted to efficiently meet the typical the demands of open-top driving and

use. In fact, the Spider’s dynamic behaviour is effortless on even the most

challenging routes. It is remarkably easy to drive on the limit thanks to flawless

handling even on the most demanding of roads.
