The 458 Speciale is the hardcore, lightened version of the 458, and, as the last mid-engined Ferrari V8 before turbocharging arrived with the 488, it holds a special place. Its 4.5-litre V8 revs to 9,000 rpm and makes 597 hp with no forced induction, a combination Ferrari has not built since.
This guide covers the full specification, where values sit today, how it compares, and what matters most when you buy one.

Performance in context
The Speciale’s draw is the engine: the highest-revving, most powerful naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari put in a road car, at an output its turbocharged successors match only with boost. It is the end of a lineage.
The market: what a 458 Speciale is worth now
As the last NA V8 Ferrari, the Speciale has held strong. Coupes typically trade around $400,000 to $600,000, with the open Speciale A (around 499 built) commanding a significant premium above that.

What to look for when buying
- Speciale vs Speciale A — the open Speciale A is rarer and worth markedly more; decide which you want before you search.
- Ferrari Classiche — certification and full Ferrari service history support the best values.
- Mileage and originality — original specification and documented low mileage lead the market.
- Paint and track use — check for prior damage, repaint and hard track use.
- Specification — desirable colours, stripes, carbon options and the right wheels all help.
