Sitting at roughly $380,000 and climbing on Cars and Bids, this 2015 Ferrari 458 Spider in Bianco Avus over Blu Scuro is about to become the most expensive standard 458 Spider ever sold at auction, eclipsing examples that originally sold for anywhere from $240,000 to $335,000 when new.
Under that retractable hardtop sits a 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing 570 horsepower at a screaming 9,000 rpm redline and 398 lb-ft of torque. That translates to a 3.4-second sprint to 60 mph and a 199 mph top speed, accompanied by one of the greatest soundtracks ever fitted to a road car, while the entire package weighs in at approximately 3,250 pounds.
This particular car left the showroom in 2015 with a sticker price of $322,766, going by its meticulous records. Fast forward to today, and the odometer barely registers 1,400 miles. That’s roughly 127 miles added per year over 11 years of ownership, and those low miles are about to earn someone a profit that would make most stock portfolios jealous.
Ferrari produced approximately 6,000 458 Spiders between 2011 and 2015, making them reasonably attainable compared to the ultra-rare Speciales. The 458 Speciale coupe saw just 1,309 units built, while the droptop Speciale A was limited to a mere 499 examples. The standard Spider was never meant to be investment-grade allocation material, yet here we are watching one potentially crack $400,000.
In case you were wondering, for $380,000 (or less) in today’s market, buyers can select from pretty seriously quick new supercars. The 2026 Corvette Z06 delivers 670 naturally aspirated horsepower for around $120,000, which equals more power for almost a quarter of the cost. Closer to this Ferrari’s asking price, the hybrid Lamborghini Temerario, starting around $350,000, provides 907 horsepower. More importantly, neither of them is the final send-off for Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V8 droptop, and collectors are clearly willing to pay handsomely for that distinction.
