Key Information

Limited to just 499 examples worldwide/, the Aperta is a timed celebration of the success of the 458 model including an array of international motoring media awards and track victories including category wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans/, 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring.Based on the exquisite 458 Speciale coupe/, the Aperta is a car that combines extreme spine-tingling performance with the pleasure of open top driving. Producing 596bhp and 398 lb ft of torque/, 0 to 62mph is dealt within 3.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 199mph. These performance figures are sensational but perhaps should not be a surprise as thanks to the aluminium retractable hard top and 10 different aluminium alloys used to increase rigidity; the weight difference compared with the Speciale coupe is only 50kg. Furthermore/, the 4.5 litre v8 is now 8kg lighter than the Speciale thanks to carbon fibre induction plenums and a lighter exhaust. The seven-speed dual clutch gearbox is now even quicker with upshifts performing 20% faster and downshifts 44% faster than before. The car also gets uprated suspension/, a new generation of carbon ceramic brakes shared with the LaFerrari and the latest Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tyres which is a new tread designed to significantly increase wet weather performance. Combined with the racing inspired interior full of carbon fibre and alcantara and bodywork improvements such as the redesigned composite bumpers and two deep air outlets to channel away the air exiting the radiator; the 458 Aperta is the most aerodynamically efficient Ferrari spider ever built. Hence/, the car laps Ferrari's Fiarano test track in 1minute 23.5 seconds which is the same time as the Speciale coupe. There's no doubt that the 458 Aperta is one of the all time great supercar convertibles and with the car's v8 engine having won the three international best Performance Engine awards which is marked by a special plaque in the cabin; it will surely make every journey feel special.
