A FERRARI
SPECIALE
FOR SPECIAL EMOTIONS
A Ferrari Speciale for special emotions.
It’s called the 458 Speciale:
it’s Ferrari’s new sportscar, the fruits
of the innovation and extreme technological research that have gone into a car
as outstanding as the 458 Italia.
The aerodynamic efficiency (an E index of 1.5), a more powerful
aspirated V8 engine (605 cv) and the highest power density (135 cv/l) in the
history of Ferrari road cars, an extraordinary weight/power ratio (2.13 kg/cv),
electronic control of the slip angle (SSC): these are some – but not all – of
the characteristics that make this car truly Speciale and that are destined to
become standard for the Ferraris of the future. 
The aptness of the car’s name
is easily shown by its performance figures: accelerating from 0-100km/h in 3s
(or 9.1s for 0-200km/h) and a best lap time round Fiorano of 1m 23.5s.
The new 8-cylinder mid-engine berlinetta, which will be launched at the
Frankfurt Motor Show on September 10, was designed with the target of raising
performance and driving emotion to the highest levels, while still guaranteeing
ease of control in every situation.
