Are you sitting down? Because I’m about to deliver some news on the most high performance Ferrari V8 sports car ever. And it’s called the Ferrari 458 Speciale. And while every Ferrari is special, well, the Ferrari V8 Speciale is out of the exceptional in every sense of the word. Think extreme. Think over-the-top. Think dream come true, drivers.
As with all Ferrari special series, the 458 Speciale is aimed at a specific kind of owner, and in this case, those looking for an even more focused sports car. The Speciale delivers this duty by boasting an array of advanced technical solutions making it a completely unique model designed for the most discerning drivers.
The innovations span the entire car and include both Ferrari patents and world firsts, particularly with regard to the engine, active aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics. In fact, they set the 458 Speciale apart from the 458 Italia from which it’s derived — making it louder and quicker that the 458 Italia.
As mentioned earlier, the Speciale marks the Prancing Horse’s most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine ever. For drivers, this means fine-tuned handling and an intense driving experience. The Speciale shifts faster, turns in quicker and stops shorter thanks to its additional 35 horsepower and 200 fewer pounds.
