Surfing on the web we found out that there is a rumor regarding an even faster version of the Ferrari F458 Italia, the Scuderia of course. But, talking to our source from Maranello we realized that this is is not true and the Italian manufacturer doesn’t plan any F458 Italia Scuderia, because at this moment is too early for this type of car. As you may know already, the Spider version of the F458 Italia was announced at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show by president Luca di Montezemolo and it should arrive in about two years.

According to the latest reports, it appears that at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, Ferrari president a.k.a. Luca di Montezemolo announced the new F458 Italia Spider. There is a bad news though: the production version of the F458 Italia Spider, which will feature a stylish soft top, will have to wait a couple of years because, according to its CEO, Ferrari has to recover after the financial crisis. Of course, if you can’t wait the convertible you can choose the new F458 Italia Coupe which will go on sale in January 2010.

Fast on the heels of the enthusiasm being displayed for the 2010 Ferrari F458 Italian coupe, it is believed that a 458 Italia Spider also already being lined up. The coupe is set to be officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show while the 458 Italia Spider is anticipated to follow in Geneva next spring.

Similar to the 458 Italia coupe, the Spider would be powered by a mid-engine 4.5-liter V8. The direct-injection flat-plane crank V8 produces 570 horsepower at 9,000 rpm, and 398 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm. It sends power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. For the coupe, that results in a top speed of near 202 mph while the Spider will be limited to a speed of just under 200 mph. To lower its weight, the 458 Spider will opt not to install a retractable hardtop and will instead go for a conventional soft top.
