FERRARI 458 SPECIALE GRAND TURISMO, 2014

FACTORY SPECIFICATION INCLUDES:- METALLIC PAINT, RED SEAT INSERTS WITH EMBROIDERED PRANCING HORSE AND RED STITCHING, FULL NART LIVERY STRIPES IN GRIGIO, CARBON FIBRE DASH TRIM,  CARBON FIBRE ENGINE COVERS, CARBON FIBRE WHEEL CAPS, RED BRAKE CALIPERS, SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED AUDIO SYSTEM, FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS, FLOOR MATS WITH EMBROIDERY, NAVTRAK ALSO FITTED.

The cockpit has a distinctly racing-inspired atmosphere. Lightweight exclusive materials, such as Alcantara and carbon-fibre, dominate, yet it all exudes the sense of craftsmanship and sophistication typical of all Ferrari interiors, thanks to hand-stitching, aluminium tread plates, and fluidly sculpted door panels.

Two figures sum up just how extraordinary the 458 Speciale’s mid-rear 4.497 cc V8 really is: its ability to punch out 605 cv at 9000 rpm makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever built at Maranello while its specific power output of 135 cv/l was a world record for a road-going naturally aspirated engine. Honing of the entire car also resulted in an exceptional weight-power ratio of 2.13 kg/cv and the kind of performance that makes it worthy of the Speciale moniker: 0 to 62 mph acceleration in 3 secs (and a record 1min 23.5 secs lap time at Fiorano).

In terms of electronic management, the 458 Speciale marked the world debut of Slide Slip Angle Control, (SSC) and an upgrade of the F1 transmission control logic. With the Manettino seat at RACE or CT OFF, the 458 Speciale then makes the most of available grip for improved acceleration out of the corners, greater ease and control on the limit, and more consistent performance.

Supplied new by Maranello Egham Ferrari in April 2014, this one owner car covered just over 1,700 miles from new, and has a complete Ferrari main dealer service history, new car bill of sale, all handbooks, services invoices, and owner’s launch information.
