    It's quite good if it's real. Though I'd prefer the coupe...

    No more glass covered engine? Didn't even the old 430/360 Spyder still have glass engine cover?

    Other than that I think it looks quite good...

    I just thought that vast expense of bodywork seems kinda plain....even I think vents or stuff might look more "interesting"....

    I wonder why all the official pics seem to be with the roof off...
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Because it's the debut of the Spider. Why show top up when you want the focus to be open air initially.

    But usually they make at least one or two with the roof up or opening.

    Well, at least when it doesn't look so remarakably similar to the Berlinetta...

    It's interesting its a folding hardtop, I guess that explains for the lack of glass....

    Ya, the patent drawings were leaked many months ago so the hardtop was no surprise.

    Very nice. Good job Ferrari.
