Ferrari 458 Speciale (2015)

Ferrari’s 458 Speciale was the fastest V8 supercar ever produced by Ferrari, upon its introduction. Based upon the already spectacular 458 platform, the 458 Speciale benefits from a huge host of alterations making for a much more focused experience. The increased power means the 458's motor held a World Record for naturally aspirated output. The 458 Speciale's 605 bhp equates to 135 bhp/litre, an truly astonishing output. Perhaps not surprisingly, the 458 Speciale won the prestigious "2013 Supercar of the Year" award from Top Gear Magazine and 2014 Evo Magazine "Car of the Year".

Autocar Magazine formed the following conclusion upon completing their road test: "The mid-engined Ferrari supercar has reached a turning point, it strikes us – and there may never be a better one for purist thrill-seekers than the one you see here. Next year comes a '458M' [488], for want of the official name: a mid-life refresh that'll bring with it a new turbocharged engine. We've recorded what turbos have done to BMW M cars, AMG Mercs, Porsche 911s and more in this modern performance car era – and seldom do we universally approve. Which is why right now may be a definitive moment in the development of the mid-engined Ferrari concept: a zenith in some ways, perhaps. The car to mark it could hardly be more aptly named or purposefully constructed." Cut from the same cloth as the legendary Challenge Stradale and Scuderia, the Speciale is the last instalment in this hugely collectible line of naturally-aspirated V8 supercars from Maranello.

This stunning RHD 458 Speciale was delivered on 27th of May 2015 to London via HR Owen. Supplied in the most fetching combination of Blu Tour de France with Blu NART Racing Livery, the interior is appointed with Blu Scuro Alcantara Seats with Stitched Rosso Cavillinos in each headrest and Rosso Tessuto 3D Fabric centres. Additionally the interior was specified from new to include the following options; Blu Scuro Alcantara inner wheel arches and lower zone upholstery, floor mats with embroidered logo, Carbon Fibre drivers zone with LED shift light, Giallo rev counter, cruise control, integrated audio system, satellite navigation, 4-Point safety harnesses and a roll over bar. The exterior benefits from front and rear parking sensors, rear parking camera, front lift system, Giallo brake calipers, advanced front lighting system, Scuderia shields and Carbon Fibre engine compartment, air intake, front spoiler and fins, sill fins and rear diffuser. In addition the car also profits from a full PPF paint protection wrap ensuring that the paint remains as new.

To date, this two owner example has covered just 3,300 miles and remains in exceptional condition throughout. DK Engineering had the pleasure of selling the car on behalf of its original owner to the second and current owner in 2016. Having accrued minimal milage with the current owner, it has always been regularly serviced and properly looked after, with its most recent service carried out by Maranello Egham in July of 2021 at 3,274 mi. Accompanied by its original spare key, all original books, tools and supporting history, this superb Speciale is located in our showrooms just outside London and available to view immediately.
