2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale

Sold for $962,500 at 2022 Mecum : Monterey.
This 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta is one of just 499 produced for the worldwide market and currently has just 98 miles on its odometer. The most advanced mid-engined V-8 Berlinetta V-8 Berlinetta in the company's history, the 458 Speciale Aperta features a potent 4.5-liter engine producing nearly 600 horsepower. Updates include a revised intake tracts, higher-lift cams, reduced-friction internals and an increase in compression. The engine is paired with a 7-speed, dual-clutch transmission that was reprogrammed for even quicker shifts. The improved Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires concealed a new generation of carbon-ceramic brakes and modified suspension components.

This particular 458 Speciale Aperta is finished in Bianco Avus paint with Nero stripes and Scuderia Ferrari cloisonné fender shields. It has an AFS lighting system, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires on featherweight 5-spoke alloy wheels, and Ferrari Brembo carbon ceramic disc brakes with yellow-painted calipers. The wide range of additional options added an additional $32,354 to the base price, including the titanium exhaust and extensive use of exterior carbon fiber trim in the front intake flaps, rear valence outlet flaps, side nolders and wheel center caps. The interior features Nero leather with yellow stitching accents on the Daytona-style bucket seats with yellow, embroidered Prancing Horse emblems decorating the headrests. This same material was used on the upper dash, passenger protection padding, door panels, steering wheel grips, and lower tunnel. Alcantara trim and carbon fiber accents can be found throughout the cabin. The Nero carpeting is protected by colored floor mats decorated with the 458 Speciale A logo.
