2015 (65) Ferrari 458 Speciale APERTA. 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 RHD Apertas. What's more, this stunning example has been signed on the production line by Kimmi Raikonnen and Sebastian Vettel who were Ferrari F1 Champions at the time the 458 Speciale was launched. It is believed to be the only Speciale Aperta with this treatment.

This beautiful and genuine delivery mileage, UK Supplied, two-owner, 2015 (65) example is finished in the stunning, triple-layer Pearl White ‘Bianco Fuji’ paintwork – a £16,000 option when new. It presents in as new condition, as expected, with the odometer reading just 87 miles. The car comes complete with a Full Ferrari Service History also.

Complementing the beautiful paintwork is the factory specification racing livery, finished in Nero & Grigio, running the entire length of the car. 20 Inch 5 Spoke, Satin-Finish Forged alloy wheels sit in front of Giallo Brake Callipers too. Other optional exterior highlights worth mentioning are the Carbon Fibre B Pillars, Carbon Fibre Sill fins and Titanium Sports Exhaust to really heighten the spine-tingling soundtrack.

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 Nero & Grigio Alcantara with contrasting stitching in White throughout. The optional Carbon Fibre 3D Racing Seats present in immaculate condition, get ergonomic side bolstering, driver seat adjustment device and, due to alcantara-trimmed shoulder-rests, excellent grip. The backrests and seats are padded with a breathable 3D fabric for superb air circulation and comfort.
You’ll notice a White 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 being a delivery mileage example with a full-service history, presents as the 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.
