    I'm guessing that's a model of a 458 coupe that a skilled modelling enthusiast has modified into a spider version? The roof looks like it's from another car model (6 series convertible or Gallardo perhaps). The depth of the windscreen header rail and shape of the the side windows give away the fact that it's not a leaked pic of a pre-production model car.

    Everything I've been told thus far still indicates the real thing will have a folding hard top.

    Am I the only person on the planet that doesn't care for convertible versions of sports cars?

    The conversation I overheard at a dealership is that it's a folding hardtop. Much different than any others though.

    Should not be long now. They were apparently building preproduction cars during the FF event in Maranello.

    At a guess I think it may be some sort of panel that fold down behind the seats...would be much easier for packaging I would think....
