Press Release:

499 cars to celebrate our most successful, award-winning 8-cylinder modelMaranello, 25th September 2014 – Ferrari is pleased to announce the Paris Motor Show world debut of the 458 Speciale A (A as in Aperta). The new limited edition special series is a celebration of the dazzling success of the various versions of the 458, a model that has collected an array of international motoring media awards and track victories, not least a double WEC title and category wins in classic endurance races, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Dedicated to just 499 Ferrari collectors, the 458 Speciale A is the most powerful spider in Prancing Horse history, effortlessly marrying extreme performance with the sublime pleasure of drop-top driving. Its aluminium retractable hard top, which takes a mere 14 seconds to deploy or retract, helps reduce the weight difference with the Speciale coupé to just 50 kg.

The 458 Speciale A sports the most powerful naturally-aspirated road-going V8 engine ever built by Ferrari. It punches out a massive 605 cv (135 cv/l specific power output) and 540 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm yet only generates 275 g/km of CO2 emissions. The three international Best Performance Engine awards the V8 has won are acknowledged on a special plaque in the cockpit.

The new car sprints from 0-100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds and has a Fiorano lap time of 1’23”5. These superb results are thanks in great part to its front and rear active aerodynamics, the rigidity of a chassis that incorporates 10 aluminium alloys, and Side Slip Angle Control (SSC) which guarantees unparalleled sporty driving in all conditions, underscored by the seductively exhilarating signature Ferrari soundtrack.

As is the case with all Prancing Horse cars, the 458 Speciale A’s sculpted forms are absolutely performance-oriented. In fact, a series of innovative and original bodywork solutions has made the 458 Speciale A the most aerodynamically efficient Ferrari spider ever.

The 458 Speciale A is being premiered in a unique triple-layer yellow livery with a Blu Nart and Bianco Avus central stripe as well as five-spoke forged wheels in Grigio Corsa. The cockpit has a distinctive racing-inspired look: lightweight yet exclusive materials have been adopted throughout and, of course, crafted with Ferrari’s signature artisanal sophistication. This is particularly true of the finish of the dash, the moulded door panels and central tunnel in an exclusive blue carbon-fibre (also used for the treadplates) as well as the newly-designed seats in Alcantara© with contrasting stitching and 3D technical fabric.

SpecialeA? Qualcuno fucili gli uomini del reparto naming, per piacere...

Comunque faccia e sedere del 458 diventano quasi belli in variante Speciale, anche se i fari anteriori continuo a trovarli poco riusciti.

Ferrari 458 Speciale A: A 597 Horsepower Conveyance Of Pure Awesome

Ferrari 458 Speciale A: A 597 Horsepower Conveyance Of Pure Awesome

The Ferrari 458 Speciale is the lightweight, track focused Ferrari. The 458 Speciale A is a Speciale with the roof removed, some weight added, and the ability to make your ears orgasm with 597

horsepower of pure Italian music.

The Speciale A, which stands for Speciale Aperta (or open roof), is the same basic Speciale underneath but with a folding metal roof. The Speciale A weighs 50 kilograms, or 110 pounds, more than the coupe.

And that's about it. It still has a 597 horsepower and 398 pound feet from its 4.5 liter V8 and gets to 60 in 3.0 seconds.

Inside, it appears that the carbon fiber has been given a bit of a blue tint, but that's probably just a very expensive option package that'll go on top of the very expensive starting price. As Mr. Dink would say, this car will be "very expensive."

Even though the rooflessness kind of takes away from the track focusedness, it adds a ton to the ear explosion capabilities that come from a wailing flat plane crank V8 revving to a stratospheric 9,000 RPM. If you aren't planning on taking your 458 Speciale to the track, you'd be a fool to not buy the Speciale A.

Pricing hasn't been released, but it'll be a good bit more expensive than the current nearly $300,000 Speciale. We'll know more when the Speciale A debuts at the Paris Motor Show next week.

Macchina stupenda, nome orribile.

[RVC]

Sempre bella, frontale uno troppo martoriato IMO, comunque rimane la mia preferita nel segmento.

[aboutdas]

Bellissima.

[Pandino]

A come "aperta"?

Bellissima

[Giacomino88]

Mi piace!!!!

[Puntor89]

Molto bella, anche se tra le due preferisco la versione chiusa

[Melone]

Io stilisticamente continuo a preferire la 458 "liscia", anche se la coda qui è molto riuscita. Tuttavia non è un'auto che si compra strettamente per lo stile...
