The first car to be built at the Maranello plant was an open sports car. Convertibles always filled a special, important place in the heart of Enzo Ferrari and of Ferrari itself after his death. All subsequent models were born from the idea of combining sporty engineering with the appeal of open-air driving. The F 355 Spider develops this idea still further: the top performance of the Berlinetta and GTS is enhanced by the ease with which the hood can be opened and closed (semiautomatic) to convert the car.
