Ferrari's Special Projects division has unveiled the SP-8, a stunning one-off roadster derived from the F8 Spider, crafted for an exclusive client in Taiwan. This bespoke creation showcases meticulous modifications, transforming the F8 Spider into an open-top masterpiece.
Design and Aerodynamics:
The SP-8 roadster stands out with its roofless design, emphasizing its sporty character and delivering an exhilarating open-air driving experience. The absence of a retractable hardtop prompted significant aerodynamic refinements, ensuring acoustic comfort and wind dynamics akin to its enclosed counterpart. The car's volumes seamlessly blend, creating a captivating two-tone effect with unpainted carbon-fiber elements.

Exterior Highlights:
Dominating the front is a full-width, cast aluminum grille with a 3D-printed single mold, featuring a vertical strake theme.
The rear section underwent a radical transformation, featuring a full-volume design with a taut belt line.
Unique headlights with special masks and lenses, rear lights inspired by the Roma, and distinctively designed wheel rims contribute to the SP-8's bespoke aesthetics.
Interior Upgrades:
The central console received modifications to accommodate F1 gearbox commands, a feature found in Ferraris since the SF90 Stradale.
Seats showcase laser-etched Navy Blue Alcantara® details with gradient effect cloth, complemented by carpets in specific twill fabric.

Color Palette:
The SP-8 boasts a unique color scheme, with a matte Argento Micalizzato exterior, glossy iridescent Blue Sandstone carbon-fiber sections, and a Blu Scuro Stellato hue connecting the bodywork elements.
Performance:
While specific details about the SP-8's performance remain undisclosed, it inherits the 3.9-liter V8 twin-turbo engine from the F8 Spider, producing 720 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque. The F8 Spider's acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 340 km/h provide a performance benchmark.
Custom Craftsmanship:
The SP-8 joins Ferrari's esteemed One-Off series, exemplifying the pinnacle of customization based on individual client preferences. Crafted through the Special Projects program, it reflects the client's Taiwanese heritage, with the number 8 symbolizing luck and prosperity in Chinese culture.
The Ferrari SP-8 Roadster not only pays homage to the F8 Spider but elevates it to an extraordinary level, showcasing the artistry and innovation synonymous with the Prancing Horse.
