The 458 Speciale is unquestionably the top performing 458 road car. Based on the hugely successful mid-engined V8 berlinetta or ‘little saloon’ Italia which was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, as with all Ferrari special series this model boasts numerous technological advances to render it almost completely unique. The 458 Speciale, which was publicly unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2013 was focused on the demands of extreme driving and is in this respect a mile away from the 458 Italia on which it is based. The 4.5 litre V8 engine was developed considerably, such that it produces a specific power output of 135 bhp per litre; which Ferrari claims is a world record for a road-going naturally aspirated engine. Another impressive statistic is that the aero co-efficient was the highest in Ferrari production car history at 1.5 until it was surpassed by the Laferrari model. Other distinctions of the Speciale include forged wheels, vented bonnet, finned side sills, taller rear spoiler and redesigned bumpers, which include active aerodynamics designed by Ferrari Styling Centre in cooperation with Pininfarina. This fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 458 Speciale has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using detailed colour and material specifications, and original CAD data supplied directly from the drawing office of Ferrari. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.
