'Cause You Know It's Coming: Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder rendered

Jon Sibal's rendering of the Ferrari 458 Spider -- Click above for high-res image
Now that the Ferrari 458 Italia has been let loose to glare at the world, it is only a matter of time before it's followed by a 458 Italia Spyder sibling. While we wait for Ferrari to provide us images of that car, computer rendering artist Jon Sibal has gone ahead and created his version of the newest droptop stallion.
It will be interesting to see how Ferrari intends to fit all of that roof into the severely tapering rear end. If they can keep it looking like the car above, then they'll have worked magic on this car twice.

I wish the 458 wasn't another "hatch" and so 360 derivitive, BUT DAMN... it is beautiful, I have to admit.
...and the 'vert? Stunning.
Best looking V8 Ferrari ever.

But the "hatch" is a glass hood, revealing a stunning V8 to passersby!
Here's a look at a chop of a two-tone variant, with the roof, hatch trim and back wings in black along with Scuderia wheels. Prepare a drool napkin accordingly:

I would not kick that out of the garage. :-)
Still... BRING BACK THE FLYING BUTTRESS!

Interesting that he left everything from the passenger side B pillar and back on that first image.
Other than that, looks good!

he might want to fix the B and Cpillar still showing on the other side of the car through the windshield.

If they can actually make it look like that I may be willing to do a lot of very screwed up things to get one :P

I am waiting for the day some guy walks up to me and offers me a Ferrari/Million Dollars/Chance to sleep with Megan Fox, in exchange for doing something twisted, nasty, homo or dangerous yet of no benefit to him other then to get me to humilate myself... I'm holding out for that.

I don't get these articles about renderings. Unless they're based on evidence of manufacturer's plans, they lead ignorant readers to believe they have a chance of going into production.

I absolutely HATE the "mouth" on this car. Looks like a Corvette kit car of some sort.
