Named officially Elegante, the new package created by DMC specifically for the Ferrari 458 Spider, is described by the officials as a massive improvement. The new aerodynamic body kit consists of a new front splitter, wider side skirts and a discreet spoiler positioned on the trunk. In addition, to offer more originality, the German tuning house offers to those interested a hood made of carbon fiber provided with air intakes, cases of the same material for the exterior mirrors, sports suspension and wheels of 21 or 22-inch from aluminum wheels shod on Pirelli Sport tires.

Does not exist currently a set of photos with the inside, but the DMC officials say they dressed the 458 Spider Elegante seats with high quality leather and installed in places few carbon fiber inserts.

Under the hood, the V8 unit of 4.5-liter was resofted and received a new exhaust system, the engine goes now to develop 608 horsepower and 568 Nm, which means an increase of 38 HP and 28 Nm.
