A Ferrari Speciale for special emotions

It’s called the 458 Speciale: it’s Ferrari’s new sportscar, the fruits of the innovation and extreme technological research that have gone into a car as outstanding as the 458 Italia.

The aerodynamic efficiency (an E index of 1.5), a more powerful aspirated V8 engine (605 cv) and the highest power density (135 cv/l) in the history of Ferrari road cars, an extraordinary weight/power ratio (2.13 kg/cv), electronic control of the slip angle (SSC): these are some – but not all – of the characteristics that make this car truly Speciale and that are destined to become standard for the Ferraris of the future. The aptness of the car’s name is easily shown by its performance figures: accelerating from 0-100km/h in 3s (or 9.1s for 0-200km/h) and a best lap time round Fiorano of 1m 23.5s.

The new 8-cylinder mid-engine berlinetta, which will be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 10, was designed with the target of raising performance and driving emotion to the highest levels, while still guaranteeing ease of control in every situation.

Alcuni particolari non mi convincono, ma nell'insieme non è male

Non mi convince il posteriore..

[lelesch81]

gli interni non sono male.. la pinna di squalo, modello "Scettro del potere" è un po' esagerata!

[Closer]

Non dico nulla sulle qualità tecniche e stradali che saranno senza ombra di dubbio ai vertici ma per quanto riguarda l'estetica per me è no: ho visto le altre foto su Quattroruote e la linea secondo me perfetta della normale 458 per esigenze aerodinamiche è stata un pò sciupata, peccato

[Aymaro]

meno tamarra di quanto mi aspettassi, forse avrei preferito un filo di carbonio a vista in piu, il posteriore? speriamo lo abbiano un po sistemato (imho vero punto debole della 458..) il buco sul cofano? il richiamo a LaFerrari con la pinna?

[desus80]

Tutto sommato sono rimasti lontani dal rischio "tamarrata". Certo che per limare decimi e guadagnare carico con 'sti profili adattivi un po' di eleganza nelle linee doveva perderla per forza. Per me sono invece un po' troppo banali i cerchi.

Nel complesso mi piace.

[infallibile_GF]

Mi piace di più della versione normale. Fnalmente il muso ora è più deciso e cattivo. Ora i tagli attorno ai fari anteriori hanno un senso dal punto di vista estetico e la brutta bocca nera rettangolare è stata sostituita da questa che mi piace molto di più. Il retrotreno migliora molto con la griglia nera unica in mezzo ai fari.

[shadow_line]

Praticamente perfetta, per quello che vedo al momento è ok, un'istant classic a tutti gli effetti

forse avrei messo il tunnel centrale in carbonio con trama a vista, qui sembra non esserci

The Ferrari 458 Speciale to debut at Frankfurt

Extreme technology for an uncompromising new V8

Maranello, 20th August 2013 – The 458 Speciale is the latest product of Ferrari's core philosophy of extreme technological innovation and research which, in this instance, has yielded powertrain, aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics advances that transform the already exceptional 458 Italia into a car genuinely worthy of the "Speciale" moniker. The result is a completely new, uncompromising, streamlined sports car concept.

Many of the sophisticated solutions being applied for the very first time to an in-range car in the 458 Speciale, including its advanced active aerodynamics, will become a standard feature of all new Ferraris in the future.

Flanked in the Maranello marque's range by the multi-award-winning 458 Italia and 458 Spider, the new mid-rear-engined V8 berlinetta was designed to boost both performance and driving emotion to unprecedented levels, yet simultaneously guarantee smooth, effortless control in all kinds of situations.

Having lavished meticulous attention on the power unit that was named "Best Performance Engine" at the International Engine of the Year Awards for two consecutive years, Ferrari has now built its most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever (605 cv) with an extraordinary specific power output of 135 cv/l , the highest ever achieved by a road-going naturally aspirated engine.

Thanks to an equally exceptional weight/power ratio of just 2.13 kg/cv, the 458 Speciale can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.0" (0-200 km/h in 9.1") and also clocked a lap time of just 1'23"5 at the Fiorano Circuit.

Aerodynamic requirements guided the work of the Ferrari Styling Centre, which led the project in cooperation with Pininfarina, to sculpt the car's forms to ensure they were more performance-oriented than ever. The most notable features in this sense are the front and rear movable aerodynamics which balance downforce and cut drag, thus helping make the 458 Speciale the most aerodynamically efficient range production car in Ferrari history (E Index of 1.5)

The technology used in the vehicle dynamics subsystems which gives the driver instant confidence and control at high speeds, natural power oversteer management and precise response to commands are further advances in an area in which Ferrari is already a well-established leader.

One of the most innovative content of the 458 Speciale is the Side Slip angle Control system (SSC) which makes it easier to achieve car control on the limit, thereby greatly improving driving emotions. Thanks to the development of an accurate new algorithm SSC performs instant-to-instant analysis of the car's side slip, comparing it with the target value and then optimising both torque management (via integration with F1-Trac traction control) and torque distribution between the two wheels (via integration with the E-Diff electronic differential).

Part and parcel of the car's development included Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tyres which were specifically honed for it in an intensive collaboration programme involving, amongst other factors, numerous track test and simulator sessions. Conceived for the 458 Speciale, they boost performance over a single lap in the dry as well as improving performance consistency in subsequent laps. They also allow the car to avail of maximum available grip in the wet.

The abovementioned technical content has improved the 458 Speciale's single lap time and also delivers repeatability of that performance on subsequent laps that is absolutely unprecedented for a car not designed exclusively for track use. The result is that the 458 Speciale has the fastest response time (0.060 s) and highest lateral acceleration (1.33 g) ever achieved by a car in the Prancing Horse range.

The 458 Speciale will receive its public world debut at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September.
