The Ferrari 458 Speciale to Debut at Frankfurt Motor Show
The Ferrari 458 Speciale is the latest product of Ferrari’s core philosophy of extreme technological innovation and research which, in this instance, has yielded powertrain, aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics advances that transform the already exceptional 458 Italia into a car genuinely worthy of the “Speciale” name. The result is a completely new, uncompromising, streamlined sports car concept. Some of the sophisticated solutions being applied for the very first time to an in-range car in the 458 Speciale, including the advanced active aerodynamics, will be a standard feature of all new Ferraris in the future.
Thanks to an equally exceptional weight/power ratio of just 2.13 kg/hp, the 458 Speciale can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.0 seconds (0-200 km/h in 9.1seconds) and also clocked a lap time of just 1’23”5 at the Fiorano Circuit.
The technology used in the vehicle dynamics subsystems which gives the driver instant confidence and control at high speeds, natural power over-steer management and precise response to commands are further advances in an area in which Ferrari is already a well-established leader.
One of the most innovative content of the 458 Speciale is the Side Slip angle Control system (SSC) which makes it easier to achieve car control on the limit, thereby greatly improving driving emotions. Thanks to the development of an accurate new algorithm SSC performs instant-to-instant analysis of the car’s side slip, comparing it with the target value and then optimizing 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 458 Speciale will receive its public world debut at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September.
