The Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta occupies a significant place within the Ferrari contemporary specials as the final open-top expression of the naturally aspirated V8 era. Introduced in 2014 as the convertible counterpart to the highly revered 458 Speciale, production was limited to just 499 examples worldwide, making it one of the rarest and most desirable modern Ferraris.
Combining the naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V8 with the extensive technical developments of the 458 Speciale, the Aperta retained the uncompromising performance, precision and driver engagement of its coupe non-limited counterpart, while adding the experience of open-top driving and very limited production.
ABOUT THIS 458 SPECIALE APERTA
Within its strictly limited production run, this particular Speciale Aperta is distinguished by its exceptionally rare factory specification, remarkably low mileage and outstanding original condition.
Delivered new to the German market in February 2015, this example was factory finished in Blu Pozzi Nuovo 521, a non-standard color, combined with special-order Rosso FX Alcantara interior. This particularly distinctive combination gives the car an individual character, further complemented by 20-inch forged matte gold wheels, carbon-fibre racing seats and yellow rev counter. The specification is further enhanced by the suspension lift system and audio-navigation system.
With exceptionally low mileage from new, the car retains its original factory paint, is accident-free, retains its original panels and matching numbers engine and gearbox, and is free of modifications. Its condition reflects the care afforded to this particularly special example.
This Speciale Aperta is accompanied by its original service book, leather pouch and literature. Despite its exceptionally low mileage, the car has been regularly maintained by Official Ferrari dealerships throughout its life, registered in both its original service book and in Ferrari’s internal system.
