Ferrari F8 Spider review: A convertible bond

Singapore

THERE are a million reasons to buy a convertible like the Ferrari F8 Tributo, and probably a million reasons not to (such as, in my case, being short of the S$1.1 million asking price by that number of dollars, and then some).

But it's a Ferrari, so the titillation of driving the thing ought to be all the justification you need. This is a car that will show you 200km/h if you pin the accelerator for just 8.2 seconds, which is every bit as wild and hair-raising as that sounds.
