2017 Ferrari 488 Spider

Finished in special-order Rosso Scuderia over a Nero leather interior, this 2017 Ferrari 488 Spider presents a highly specified example of Maranello’s twin-turbocharged V8 convertible, showing approximately 33,700 miles at the time of cataloging. Delivered new through Ferrari of Newport Beach, the car carried an original MSRP of $343,652 and was configured with an extensive list of factory options, including the full carbon fibre package, Adaptive Front Lighting System, front suspension lifter, SCM3 magnetic suspension damping, Scuderia Ferrari shields, Apple CarPlay, and front and rear parking cameras. Power comes from Ferrari’s 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8, factory rated at 661 horsepower and paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering extraordinary performance alongside the open-air experience unique to the Spider. Adding further provenance, the seller tells us the car was previously owned by UFC President Dana White, a connection verifiable through publicly available video footage tied to the VIN.

This 488 Spider was thoughtfully configured from new with numerous carbon fibre appointments, including carbon fibre rear air ducts, carbon fibre dashboard inserts, carbon fibre driver zone with LEDs, and a carbon fibre central bridge. Additional highlights include carbon ceramic brakes with Rosso Scuderia brake calipers, full electric seats, yellow tachometer, Cavallino-embroidered headrests, and 20-inch forged wheels finished in glossy black. The Rosso Scuderia paintwork is protected by front-end Paint Protection Film covering the bumper, hood, and leading edges, while the remainder of the car remains factory original with no modifications. The seller notes the exterior presents very well overall, with only minor cosmetic wear consistent with regular driving use, including light stone chips, small touch-ups, and minor surface scratches, while no panels have been repainted and no bodywork has been performed. A clean CARFAX report further supports the car’s history, with no reported accident damage or repairs.

Formerly sold as a Ferrari Certified Pre-Owned example through Ferrari of Las Vegas, this Spider benefits from a fully documented Ferrari dealer service history retained with the car, including March 2026 servicing consisting of oil changes, wiper blade replacement, and water recirculation pump service, in addition to a fresh oil service completed in April 2026. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires fitted at all four corners show date codes from 2022–2023 with approximately 50–70% tread life remaining, per the seller. Accompanying the sale are two original Ferrari key fobs, the original window sticker and personalization specifications plaque, owner’s manuals and book pack, factory tool kit, OEM floor mats, OEM indoor car cover housed in its original red Ferrari storage bag, Ferrari battery tender, Ferrari dealer service documentation, and former Ferrari CPO records. Combining desirable provenance, comprehensive documentation, tasteful factory specification, and Ferrari’s celebrated open-top V8 performance, this 488 Spider represents an exceptionally compelling modern Ferrari offering.
