Specifications

~$370,000
Engine: 4.5L naturally aspirated V8
Torque: 540 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~3.0 s
The Ferrari 458 Speciale was the pinnacle of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V8 development — delivering 605 hp at 9,000 rpm from a screaming 4.5L engine without forced induction or electrification. It was, and remains, the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari ever produced for the road.
The Speciale introduced active aerodynamics (front flaps and rear diffuser vanes), Side Slip Angle Control (SSC) for intuitive oversteer modulation, quicker steering, stiffer springs, and a rawer, more direct connection between driver and machine. It was 90 kg lighter than the 458 Italia, thanks to carbon fiber components, thinner glass, forged wheels, and stripped-down interior.
Despite the minimalism — Alcantara, carbon fiber everywhere, no glovebox — the cabin retained perfect ergonomics for track driving. Every input was sharpened: throttle, brakes, gearbox, chassis. The F1-style dual-clutch transmission shifted faster than any Ferrari before it, while the exhaust screamed with a rawness unmatched in the turbo era that followed.
The 458 Speciale wasn’t just an upgraded Italia — it was a benchmark-setting machine, often cited as one of the finest handling, best-sounding Ferraris ever built. It earned a place in performance history as the final naturally aspirated V8 Berlinetta, combining peak engineering with unmatched driver engagement.
Body Styles
The Ferrari 458 was offered in three primary body styles: the Italia coupe, the Spider with a retractable aluminum hardtop, and the limited-production Speciale A (Aperta), which combined the 605-hp powertrain of the Speciale with open-top driving. All models shared a sculpted, aerodynamically optimized design by Pininfarina – the last mid-engine Ferrari road car they fully styled. Notable features included the triple exhaust layout, integrated rear diffuser, and deformable front aero flaps on the Speciale.
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
The name “458” derives from the 4.5-liter V8 engine configuration, consistent with Ferrari’s numeric tradition. “Italia” emphasizes the brand’s national pride and design roots, while “Speciale” denotes enhanced performance and limited-production exclusivity. “Aperta” is Italian for “open,” designating the open-top version of the track-oriented variant. The 458 was the first Ferrari V8 to use a dual-clutch transmission, and it marked a significant leap in usability, performance, and electronic integration.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
The “458” designation translates clearly across languages, conveying technical precision. “Italia” reinforced Ferrari’s image as the embodiment of Italian performance and style, while “Speciale” conveyed a sense of purpose-built engineering. “Spider” and “Aperta” both referenced open-top motoring in terminology familiar to European and global markets, further enhancing the romantic and exotic identity of the car.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The 458’s body was offered in an expansive palette of historic and modern Ferrari colors. Common finishes included Rosso Corsa, Giallo Modena, Nero Daytona, and Grigio Silverstone, with Bianco Avus and Rosso Scuderia popular on track-focused trims. Ferrari’s Atelier and Tailor Made programs allowed owners to specify unique paints like Blu Pozzi, Verde British, or matte and triple-layer metallics. The Speciale and Speciale A featured optional racing stripes in tricolore, NART blue/white, or bespoke Atelier combinations.
Interior choices ranged from full leather to Alcantara with carbon fiber and technical fabrics, depending on trim. Italia and Spider featured color-matched stitching, optional Daytona seats, contrast seat belts, and carbon trim packages. Speciale models reduced weight via carbon racing seats, thinner carpets, and minimal insulation. Key accents included red tachometers, yellow rev counters, and customizable stitching in Grigio, Giallo, or Rosso. The Speciale A offered an Aperta-exclusive blend of carbon fiber, aluminum mesh, and Alcantara, creating one of the lightest open-top Ferraris ever.
Wheel options included 20-inch forged five-spoke alloys in silver, grey, black, or diamond-cut finishes. Speciale models introduced lightweight forged split-spoke designs, available in matte black, gold, or Grigio Corsa. Center-lock wheels and carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes were standard across the range. Ferrari shields on the fenders and painted calipers in red, yellow, or black were commonly specified. All variants were fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 or Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, with the Speciale tuned specifically around Cup 2 compounds for track dominance.

vs Competitors
The Ferrari 458 produced from 2009 to 2015 in Italia (coupé), Spider (convertible), and Speciale (track-focused) forms — is widely regarded as one of the greatest modern Ferraris. It was the last naturally aspirated, mid-engine V8 Ferrari before turbocharging took over with the 488 GTB. Blending a screaming 4.5L V8, cutting-edge aerodynamics, a lightning-fast dual-clutch transmission, and razor-sharp handling, the 458 became the benchmark for modern supercars. Its competitors included the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and Huracán, McLaren MP4-12C and 650S, Porsche 911 Turbo / GT3, Audi R8 V10, and even the Nissan GT-R — though few matched its combination of emotion, precision, and usability.
Fun Fact
The 458 Italia’s 4.5L V8 was voted "Best Performance Engine" of the decade and was the first road-legal Ferrari engine to produce over 130 hp per liter without forced induction. The Speciale A (Aperta) was not only Ferrari’s most powerful open-top NA V8 at launch — it also marked the end of the naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari era, before the 488 GTB introduced turbocharging.
