The Ferrari 458 Spider has been rendered numerous times, but these are reportedly the first official images of the production model.
We cannot confirm their authenticity, but the pictures reveal an attractive convertible with a new decklid that is rumored to hide a folding metal roof.
Like the coupe, power will be provided by a 4.5-liter V8 engine with 570 PS (419 kW / 562 hp) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission which should enable the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in approximately 3.5 seconds.
If the rumors are correct, European deliveries will occur shortly after the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
