By HP Jeschke • Dec 23rd, 2007 • Category: SupercarsSo, you own an F430 Spider, but driving it all the way up to New York is kind of pointless. Now there is a solution: At Gotham you can rent one and show your friends how the car looks that is sitting in your garage at home.
At the time of this writing the beauty is available in South Florida, but from April 2008 on you can rent her in New York City.

Some of our readers are not that familiar with the car - you can’t own everything, even if you can afford it. So, here some more data :
The latest in Ferrari’s long line of V8-engined convertible sports cars, the F430 Spider offers a unique combination of extreme performance and open-air motoring. Equipped with the same competition-inspired 4.3-liter flat crank power unit as the F430 coupé, the Spider provides a true 193 mph top speed along with formidable acceleration, covering the 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.9 seconds.
F1-derived aerodynamics pay considerable dividends in achieving these performance figures. The track continues to be Ferrari’s favored test bed for research and development. The Spider’s sinuous lines have been honed to reduce drag while generating no less than 572lbs of down force at 186 mph.
Significant improvements have also been wrought in the chassis department, with a 10 percent increase in torsional rigidity and a five percent improvement in beam strength over the 360 Spider. Handling and road holding are consequently of the highest standard. The innovative electronic differential and F1 transmission are instrumental in transferring the V8’s 483bhp (490 bhp DIN) to the road.
About Gotham
There are lots of places where you can rent what others call an “exotic” car — a Viper, a Mercedes,
or even a PT cruiser. But when it comes to real supercars - a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley,
or Aston Martin, the market fell short.
And so Gotham Dream Cars was born.
