Ferrari has revealed the 458 Speciale A (Aperta), a limited
edition special series and the most powerful spider in Prancing Horse history
thanks to its 605 hp powerplant. The exterior features a number of innovative
and original bodywork solutions that make the 458 Speciale A the most
aerodynamically efficient Ferrari spider ever.
The 458 Speciale A sports the most powerful
naturally-aspirated road-going V8 engine ever built by Ferrari. It has a total
output of 605 cv (135 cv/l specific power output) and 540 Nm of torque at 6000
rpm, with only 275 g/km of CO2 emissions.
The car sprints from 0-100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds and has a Fiorano lap time
of 1’23”5, achieve also thanks to its front and rear active aerodynamics, the
rigidity of a chassis that incorporates 10 aluminium alloys, and Side Slip
Angle Control (SSC).
Prices haven't yet been divulged, but with the 458 Spider
commanding a £20,000 premium over its base car, we'd wager an entry point just
shy of £230,000 for the Speciale A. That's a largely irrelevant of course, as
it doesn't take an awful lot of options list surfing to crank Ferrari prices up
considerably. You can probably save yourself a bit of cash by avoiding the
lurid blue carbon in the shots above.
