Description
Hilton & Moss are delighted to present a wonderful Ferrari 458 Spider at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
Few cars have redefined the modern supercar quite like the Ferrari 458 Spider. Widely regarded as one of Maranello's finest creations, it represents the culmination of naturally aspirated Ferrari V8 engineering before the arrival of turbocharging. Combining breathtaking performance, timeless Pininfarina styling and an unforgettable soundtrack, the 458 Spider continues to be one of the most sought-after Ferraris of the modern era.
Introduced in 2011, the 458 Spider was the world's first production sports car to combine a mid-mounted V8 engine with a fully retractable aluminium hardtop. Folding away in just 14 seconds, the ingenious roof mechanism weighs significantly less than a conventional fabric alternative whilst preserving the car's elegant proportions whether open or closed. The result is a car that offers genuine open-air exhilaration without compromising the purity of its design or dynamic ability.
At the heart of the 458 Spider lies Ferrari's award-winning 4.5-litre naturally aspirated V8, producing an exhilarating 562bhp at a soaring 9,000rpm and 398lb-ft of torque. Mated to Ferrari's lightning-fast seven-speed dual-clutch F1 transmission, the 458 accelerates from 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds before reaching a top speed in excess of 198mph. However, it is not simply the performance figures that define the 458. The razor-sharp steering, beautifully balanced chassis and spine-tingling induction and exhaust note create an experience that remains unmatched by many of today's more powerful machines.
Designed by Pininfarina, every line of the 458 Spider serves both form and function. Aerodynamic efficiency is seamlessly integrated into the bodywork, from the sculpted front intakes and flowing side channels to the dramatic rear diffuser. Lower the roof and the experience is transformed, allowing occupants to enjoy one of the greatest naturally aspirated V8 soundtracks ever produced, accompanied by the unmistakable sensation of driving a Ferrari exactly as it was intended.
Inside, the cabin is unmistakably Ferrari. The driver-focused cockpit places every major control within easy reach, with the iconic 'Manettino' switch mounted proudly on the steering wheel alongside the engine start button. Premium leather upholstery, beautifully machined aluminium detailing and exceptional craftsmanship combine to create an environment that is every bit as special as the car's exterior. Despite its focused nature, the 458 Spider remains remarkably comfortable and refined, making it equally at home on European grand tours as it is carving through your favourite stretch of road.
The 458 Spider that we present here, is a fantastic example. Finished in the rich Bianco Italia with a Nero Daytona roof, this Ferrari commands attention. The 20-inch forged wheels are dark grey with a diamond cut face and house the large Rosso Corsa Brembo calipers and carbon ceramic discs. The interior is finished in Nero throughout, with a Grigio Chiaro contrast stitch and swathes of carbon fibre.
Highly notable spec on the car includes:
- Carbon Fibre Racing Seats (Large)

First delivered by Meridien Modena to the first owner who registered the car in Jersey on 8th January 2013, the car returned to the UK in July 2016 and remained with its second owner until February 2021. The cars third, and most recent owner has owned the car since with a total ownership of 5 years and 6 months.
Having covered just 14,950 miles in its 13 years, the car has been clearly looked after and benefits from a comprehensive and full-service history, details of which are outlined below. A perfect MOT history confirms the mileage and further supports the ongoing care for the car over the years.
As with every vehicle offered by Hilton & Moss, this Ferrari 458 Spider is currently undergoing preparation to the highest standards by our experienced workshop and represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Maranello's greatest modern masterpieces.
Full vehicle specification can be made available upon request.
Today, the Ferrari 458 Spider occupies a unique position in Ferrari's illustrious history. It marks the end of the naturally aspirated V8 era before turbocharging became the norm, a distinction that has seen demand continue to strengthen amongst collectors and enthusiasts alike. Revered for its purity, emotion and usability, it has become one of the defining Ferraris of the 21st century and a modern classic in every sense.
Available only at Hilton & Moss.
