The F355 Spider debuted in 1995, its lines honed through 1800 hours in the wind tunnel. For the first time on a Ferrari, the fabric roof was electrically operated. Initially offered only with the six-speed manual gearbox, the F1 transmission became optional starting in 1997. The Spider was the second most popular F355 variant: 3717 examples were produced, 2664 with the manual gearbox and 1053 with the F1 gearbox.
