2015 (65) Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta AB. TAILOR MADE. NOW SOLD. SIMILAR REQUIRED. PLEASE CALL 01903 254 800.

The 458 Speciale is Ferrari’s most high performance, naturally aspirated V8 supercar ever. It’s not just a version of the already formidable 458 Italia – it’s a whole new car. In Aperta form, it represents one of the truest examples of sumptuous, driver-focussed, exquisite motoring.

Few cars compare to what the 458 Speciale Aperta can offer, and we are very pleased to present this delivery mileage example to you. Just 499 examples exist worldwide, with only 49 of those being right hand drive cars. What's more, this particular car is a Tailor-Made example, giving it the ultimate package of exclusivity.

This beautifully put-together 2015 (65) example is finished in the incredible Triple Layer Giallo Triplo Strato paintwork. It presents in as new condition, as expected, with the odometer reading just 506 miles.

Complementing the beautiful paintwork is the special livery, finished in Blu Swaters & Bianco Avus, running the entire length of the car and extending further at the front along into the front bumper. 20 Inch 5 Spoke, Blue-Finish Forged alloy wheels sit at all four corners. Other optional exterior highlights worth mentioning are the fantastically chosen Blue Carbon Fibre components.

The cockpit has a distinctly racing-inspired atmosphere dominated by lightweight alcantara and carbon fibre, yet it still exudes the craftsmanship and sophistication typical of all Ferrari interiors, thanks to hand-stitching, aluminium tread plates and fluidly sculpted door panels. The cockpit’s ergonomic layout is boosted too by the now-iconic bridge, a carbon-fibre wing that extends over the central tunnel section, putting the F1 gearbox controls at an ideal angle to the driver.

Inside, it is finished in Blu Medio Alcantara with contrasting stitching in Giallo Speciale. There’s also a Blu Medio lower Alcantara dashboard with quilted Giallo Speciale stitching.

The optional Carbon Fibre Racing Seats present in immaculate condition, get ergonomic side bolstering and a Giallo Tessutto centre finish. You’ll notice a Yellow Rev counter sitting behind the Carbon Fibre Driver Zone, along with a ‘limited edition’ plaque located in the centre console and the ‘Performance Engine of The Year’ plaque between the seats.

The innovations for the Speciale span the entire car and include both Ferrari patents and world firsts. The extraordinary mid-rear 4.5 litre V8 engine punches out 597bhp at 9000 rpm. This makes it one of the most powerful naturally aspirated V8s to ever be built at Maranello, and it brings a truly addictive soundtrack to boot.

Even more impressive, its specific power output of 133bhp per litre is a world record for a naturally aspirated road-going engine. The engine is the heart of this car and it’s been an evergreen asset since the first one left the production line. Signified by the plaque between the seats, it has won the ‘Performance Engine of The Year’ award in 2011, 2012 and 2014.

Like its predecessors – and following a similar form to that of the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia - the Speciale’s focus is on lightweight performance with a naturally aspirated V8 at its core. The huge amount of power is pushing 90kg less than a standard 458 Italia, thanks to a carbon fibre underbody, thinner windscreen and side window glass, a carbon fibre engine cover, new and lighter carbon ceramic brakes, forged wheels, and a deliciously minimalistic interior. In addition, there are also magnetic dampers, stiffer springs, and anti-roll bars.

The Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta in its entirety is a widely recognised car that will go down in history as one of the true automotive greats and is both highly collectible and a fantastic driver’s car respectively. This example has a fantastic specification and presents as a perfect investment opportunity. It has been meticulously sourced to be made available to you and we welcome any questions you may have on the car.
