Introduction
Unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 458 Speciale is the high performance variant of the 458 Italia, pushing the performance and styling envelope of the standard variant in the same way that the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia did for their standard siblings.
The Speciale was distinctly different to look at when compared to the standard 458 Italia with its the forged wheels, vented bonnet, finned side sills, a taller rear spoiler and redesigned bumpers which include active aerodynamics designed by Ferrari Styling Centre in cooperation with Pininfarina; front and rear movable flaps balance downforce and cut drag at speed.
The engine was revised, with power increased to 605 PS (597 hp) at 9,000 rpm and 540 N⋅m (398 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.
Electronic systems were updated too and side slip-angle control (SSC) was introduced to improve car control on the limit. SSC performs instant-to-instant analysis of the car’s side slip, comparing it with the target value and then optimising both torque management (via integration with F1-Trac traction control) and torque distribution between the two wheels (via integration with the E-Diff electronic differential]). The Speciale accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.0 seconds (0–200 km/h (120 mph) in 9.1 seconds
