The new car uses a similar hard-top set-up to its predecessor, the 458 Spider, apparently saving 25kg in comparison to a fabric roof set-up. Thanks to the spaceframe chassis, it’s also said to have the same torsional rigidity as its 488 GTB sibling (and is supposedly 23% stiffer than its reclining-roof predecessor).

When Enzo left Alfa Romeo in 1939, he had to agree not to use the Ferrari name nor be involved in motor racing for four years.

The typically indecisive English weather once again played a significant role at the Silverstone Classic, which this year celebrated its silver jubilee by welcoming more than 100,000 visitors – the first time it has drawn a six-figure audience.
