Ferrari F8 Spider Review: Open-Top Style, 720 CV V8 Power and a Drive to Remember

Meet the F8 Spider: A Supercar with an Open-Air Identity

The advertised car is an F8 Spider, the open-top member of the F8 family. Ferrari developed it alongside the fixed-roof F8 Tributo, continuing an open-roof V8 lineage that the manufacturer traces to the 308 GTS of 1977.

That distinction matters when browsing F8 advertisements. This review focuses on the Spider’s roof arrangement and ownership experience, with the individual car’s equipment recorded separately below.

Retractable hard top, unmistakable silhouette

Ferrari specifies a 14-second opening or closing cycle for the retractable hard top, with operation possible up to 45 km/h under the stated operating conditions. The roof folds into two sections above the engine.

The bodywork is just as distinctive. Ferrari’s design description highlights the front S-Duct, narrow horizontal headlights and sculpted engine cover. Roof down, the cabin becomes part of the car’s visual character; roof up, the hard top completes the profile.

At a viewing, ask to see both arrangements. Watch the complete roof cycle while stationary, explore the controls and review the operating instructions. It is a useful opportunity to understand the system before the first trip.

The V8 Specification That Defines the F8 Spider

Ferrari’s technical information gives the Spider a 3,902 cc turbocharged V8, producing 720 CV / 530 kW at 8,000 rpm and 770 Nm at 3,250 rpm. A seven-speed dual-clutch F1 gearbox handles the transmission.

Ferrari quotes power and torque using 98-octane petrol. CV denotes metric horsepower, approximately 710 mechanical horsepower at the published rating. Performance figures are manufacturer data, not results of our own testing.

For buyers, the next step is connecting that specification to the actual vehicle: request its VIN, factory build record, service documentation and details of any installed changes. These records give an inspection and handover a clear focus.

Plan the Journey Around the Spider Experience

Weekend drives and scenic escapes

The F8 Spider is an appealing choice for someone who wants the journey to become the occasion. Think about your favourite type of outing: a morning drive with a passenger, a coastal weekend or a visit to a car event. Then use that plan to guide the viewing.

Bring the bags you expect to carry and check their fit in the luggage compartment. Try the seating position with the roof open and closed. Explore cabin storage, visibility and access to the controls with the car set up as you would use it.

Choose the cabin configuration that suits you

Seat shape, upholstery and trim can make an individual F8 Spider feel personal. Rather than choosing from a photo alone, spend time in both seats. Adjust the driving position, inspect the seat arrangement and try the controls you will use most often.

Bring your phone and ask for a demonstration of the installed infotainment and audio functions. If a passenger display is fitted, have the seller show its available functions too. Record the equipment you expect to receive in the sale agreement.

Understand the fitted wheel and front-lift setup

The offered car has seller-listed Novitec wheels and a front-lift system. Ask for the wheel specifications, installation records and current tyre details. Have a qualified specialist confirm the fitted combination and any documentation required for your destination.

For your garage, driveway or intended transport, obtain the relevant dimensions and loading instructions for the actual car. Ask the seller to demonstrate the front-lift controls and explain the system’s operating limits using the supplied manual.
