MARANELLO, Italy — The Ferrari 458 Italia Spider reportedly will be priced from $257,000 when it arrives in the U.S. in early 2012, according to a report in Automotive News.
In response to an e-mail query, Ferrari North America spokesman Matteo Sardi told Inside Line: "The price is actually not official and not announced. Automotive News simply did an estimate."
The 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia is priced in the U.S. from $227,325, including a $2,000 shipping charge.
Sardi confirmed that the 458 Spider, which was unveiled at the recent 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, will go on sale early next year in North America.
According to Automotive News, the car will be priced considerably higher — from around $309,000 — when it hits European dealers next month. The publication said that for the past 10 years, Ferrari has been charging a price premium of about 15 percent for its open-air models over the standard hardtop versions.
Featuring a retractable hardtop, the 458 Spider replaces the F430 Spider, which was last sold in the U.S. in 2009, priced from just under $220,000.
