Description
The 458 was designed by Ferrari’s Donato Coco in collaboration with Pininfarina, and the Speciale trim added an active horizontal front-end flap to divert air under the car, spring-loaded doors to direct air from the radiators at high speeds, aero fins on the side skirts, a motor-actuated drag-reduction system at the rear end, and a revised rear diffuser with dual exhaust outlets.
This example is finished in Argento Nurburgring with exposed carbon-fiber accents and features adaptive xenon headlights,…
The 458 was designed by Ferrari’s Donato Coco in collaboration with Pininfarina, and the Speciale trim added an active horizontal front-end flap to divert air under the car, spring-loaded doors to direct air from the radiators at high speeds, aero fins on the side skirts, a motor-actuated drag-reduction system at the rear end, and a revised rear diffuser with dual exhaust outlets.
This example is finished in Argento Nurburgring with exposed carbon-fiber accents and features adaptive xenon headlights, fog lights, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, and LED taillights.
The 20″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires with date codes from 2021 and 2022. Photos showing imperfections on the wheels are included in the gallery. The car is equipped with magnetorheological dampers, and braking is handled by red-finished Ferrari/Brembo calipers over cross-drilled carbon-ceramic rotors at all four corners. The Speciale received a retuned Side Slip Angle Control system compared with the 458 Italia as well as F1-Trac traction control. The brake fluid was flushed in September 2022.
Weight-saving measures on Speciale models included carbon-fiber door panels and dashboard trim as well as carbon-fiber seat frames. This example features carbon-fiber racing seats upholstered in Nero Alcantara with red accents, stitching, and embroidery. Features include carbon-fiber trim, navigation, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The multifunction steering wheel fronts column-mounted carbon-fiber shift paddles and features LED shift indicator lights, a red engine-start button, and an adjustable manettino that toggles among several traction control and vehicle settings. Instrumentation consists of a central tachometer with a 9k-rpm redline flanked by two configurable displays. The digital odometer indicates 1,100 miles.
The mid-mounted 4.5-liter V8 was reworked for the Speciale with revised pistons, a 14:1 compression ratio, a revised intake system and camshafts, and a carbon-fiber intake assembly. Factory-rated output was 597 horsepower and 398 lb-ft. An inspection and compression report viewable in the gallery shows work conducted in September 2022 included an oil change and the installation of a replacement drive belt.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Getrag seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle and an electronic rear differential. Additional photographs of the underside are shown in the gallery below.
