Ferrari 458 Speciale tested on the limit - is this the world's best supercar?
"The Ferrari 458 Speciale is the most focussed version of one of the world's greatest supercars. And Ferrari says this incarnation of the 458 Italia is more fun than a Ferrari F40. Steve Sutcliffe pushes the Speciale to its limits to find out.

The Ferrari 458 Speciale is claimed - by its maker - to be the most fun mid-engined V8 Ferrari ever. And that's some claim if you look back through the firm's catalogue. This latest incarnation of the 458, the most focussed yet, costs £208,000, makes 597bhp, revs to 9000rpm and weighs 90kg less than the standard car. It also has a new manettino setting that allows the driver to go sideways with the ESP still engaged. It is, by any stretch, a truly great supercar. But can it deliver on the promise of being more fun than an F40? Steve Sutcliffe finds out."
"Jethro Bovingdon drives the new Ferrari 458 Speciale on the road, comparing it with the standard 458 Italia and its direct predecessor - the hardcore 430 Scuderia - on track. "
"Ben Barry heads to Maranello to drive the ligher, more powerful Ferrari 458 Speciale."
And now imagine it in the beautiful grey colour scheme of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia that you see below.
