Want a mid-engined Ferrari roadster? Your
choice comes down to the 488 Spider. But if those are too thick on the ground
in your Beverly Hills neighborhood, Mansory may have the answer.
The tuning house has arrived in Geneva with its new
4XX Siracusa Spider, its take on the eight-cylinder drop-top Prancing Horse.
It has been extensively rebodied and adorned with all
manner of aerodynamic appendages.
The
Siracusa Spider also wears striping in the colors of the Italian flag, with
parts of the carbon left unfinished. Plus it rides on 20-inch gold-tone alloys
to give it Mansory's signature touch of over-the-top opulence.
The tuner didn't stop with the visual factor,
though, tuning the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 up to 780 horsepower and 642 lb-ft
of torque – about a hundred over stock. The suspension is
dropped 0.8 inches closer to the ground, and Mansory says it'll run to 62 in
2.9 seconds (a tick quicker than stock) and top out at 212 mph (instead of
205).
Whether you'll look better in the process, of
course, is entirely a matter of taste. But we will say that it looks distinctive,
and isn't likely to be mistaken for your dentist's Ferrari down at the country
club.
