Ferrari F8 SPIDER 2023
Open-top thrills for coastal roads at sunset
- 2023
- Seats: 2
The 2023 Ferrari F8 Spider is built for the moment the roof drops and the engine sits exposed behind your shoulders, close enough that every gear change registers as sound before it registers as speed. It seats two, which settles the question of who this car is for: a couple, a solo driver marking an occasion, someone who wants the open-air version of Ferrari's mid-engine format rather than the coupé's closed cabin. There is one variant of this car in our current selection, so availability is a matter of dates rather than choosing between trims or colours. What stands out in daily use is how usable the theatre is. The roof retracts in seconds at a standstill or a light, so you can arrive at a hotel entrance or a private clubhouse with it down and still have had a fully weatherproof drive to get there. That flexibility matters more than most spec sheets suggest — a Spider that only works with the top down on a dry afternoon is a much narrower car than one you can drive properly regardless of forecast. Rental terms are straightforward: rates start at €1,800 per day for this car, with the usual practicalities of a security deposit and a return condition applied at handover, which we'll confirm with you directly rather than assume in advance. Handover itself is simple — a walk-around, a check of fluids and tyre condition, keys over, and the car is yours for the day or the week you've booked. For anyone weighing this against a closed-roof F8 or a different open Ferrari in the range, the deciding factor is usually simple: do you want the wind in the cabin as part of the experience, or not. If the answer is yes, this is the car that delivers it without asking you to compromise on the drive itself.
