The 458 Speciale forms part of Ferrari’s lineup, joining the 458 Italia and 458 Spider. Like other special-series models from Ferrari, it targets owners looking for a heightened driving experience in a more specialized sports car.
The Speciale represents an upgraded iteration of the 458 Italia, incorporating enhancements such as a carbon-fiber underbody, lighter glass, a Lexan engine covering, advanced ceramic brakes, crafted wheels, firmer springs and sway bars, and dynamic aerodynamics to reduce resistance at high velocities.
The 458 Speciale boasts the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine ever produced by Ferrari, a 4.5-liter powerplant. It cranks out 597 horsepower at 9000 rpm and a peak torque of 540 Nm at 6000 rpm. Ferrari states that the Speciale can go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.0 seconds and from 0 to 124 mph in 9.1 seconds. Notably, it set a lap record of 1:23.5 seconds at Ferrari’s Fiorano test circuit, which is 1.5 seconds quicker than the standard 458 model.
