Description
Chassis No. ZFF75VFA9F0210944
Unveiled in 2013, the Ferrari 458 Speciale represented an enhanced track-focused variant of highly praised 458 Italia which boasted an exciting array of advanced technical solutions designed for owners looking for an even more focused sports car offering. Utilizing many different weight saving measures, the 458 Speciale weighed nearly 200 pounds less than the standard Italia while a new patented aerodynamics system allowed this driver-focused model to adopt different configurations of downforce delivering maximum grip in the corners and minimum drag on the straights. New technological innovations would allow the Speciale to achieve the greatest lateral acceleration of any Ferrari production car at the time of introduction with 1.33 G pushing this highly revered model to set a new Fiorano lap record of 1 minute, 23.5 seconds - a staggering 1.4 seconds faster than the mighty Ferrari Enzo around the 1.86 mile circuit.
Powered by the last naturally-aspirated V8 ever equipped to a road-going mode, Ferrari drew heavily from their extensive Formula One experience during the design process. The finished product was even produced in the factory's in-house foundry using the same processes and machinery employed by their F1 team. Generating an astounding 597 horsepower and 398 foot-pounds of torque, the Speciale was the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine produced by Ferrari at that time of introduction. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, lightning fast gear changes helped the 458 Speciale achieve highly impressive acceleration figures of 0-60 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds.
Finished in a striking Rosso Corsa (DS 322) exterior with Blue NART racing stripes and 20-inch forged dark painted wheels, this example wears a nearly identical exterior specification used to launch this coveted model in 2013. Along with a redesigned front bumper, the Speciale also features a redesigned front bonnet with two deep air outlets and three louvered air outlets near the headlight assembly inspired by other highly collectible Ferraris such as the 250 GTO and F40. Heavily inspired by the cockpit of a racing car while still offering basic amenities, Carbon Fiber Sedili Taglia Large Racing Bucket Seats are trimmed in Nera (9440) Alcantara with the optional Prancing Horse stitched on the headrests and additional optional colored special stitching in Rosso (0504).
A single owner example, this 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale was delivered new through Ferrari of San Antonio and is offered with just 5,597 miles at the time of cataloging. Accompanied by a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report also verifying single-ownership, periodic servicing is also shown at Ferrari of San Antonio with an oil change and brake inspection in November 29 of 2022 with 5,054 miles indicated. With single-ownership and only 5,597 miles from new, this Speciale offers a wonderful opportunity to experience a limited edition modern classic Ferrari.
