Ferrari 458 Speciale - info and hi-res photos

The Ferrari 458 Speciale needs little introduction.  Take one Italian £200k supercar and make it lighter, faster, more powerful and give it a name with flair, by adding an E to the word Special.

The 458 Special with an e does 0-62mph in 3 seconds and 0-124mph in 9.1 seconds.

Ferrari are Italian through and through so rather than quote the power in hp we are told it produces 605 cv from its 4.5 litre V8.  Cavalli is Italian for horsepower, hence cv.

Visually the 458 Speciale differs from the non-special 458 by whit of a small fin ahead of the rear wheels, which will one day be snapped off on some models, and some stripes.

The Ferrari 458 Speciale weighs 1290 kg and will be revealed in full at the Frankurt motor show.
