According to a new report from Germany's Auto Motor und Sport magazine, Ferrari will reveal a convertible version of the 458 Italia at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Very likely, the 458 Italia Spider will be offered with an electrically operated cloth convertible top that disappears behind the front seats.


Like the coupe model, the 458 Italia Spider will be equipped by a 4.5-liter V8 engine with direct injection technology. The engine produces 570 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 540 Nm peak torque at 6,000 rpm. Power will be sent to the rear wheels through Ferrari's highly-acclaimed 7-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox.

Expected, the 458 Italia Spider will appear in showrooms in 2012.
