The SA APERTA - the most exclusive Ferrari ever.
A new V12 to celebrate Pininfarina's 80th anniversary

Maranello, 24th September – Ferrari is delighted to announce the presentation of the SA APERTA at the Paris International Motor Show 2010. This is a special series model of which a strictly limited number of just 80 will be built. All have already been sold. Ferrari chose to build 80 SA APERTAs in celebration of Pininfarina's 80th anniversary. The SA nomenclature also pays homage to both Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina whose company and work have been linked to the most successful road-going cars ever built at Maranello.

The SA APERTA is a true roadster which allows its occupants to enjoy the superlative emotions afforded by our signature front-engined V12 architecture in a completely open-top setting. In fact, it has just a light soft top designed to be resorted to only if the weather gets particularly bad. A low-slung windscreen and the fact that it crouches lower to the ground than our other models lend the SA APERTA an exceptionally aerodynamic sleekness. Its profile arches back from the A-post to two aerodynamic fins beautifully integrating the two roll-bars which themselves cleverly mimic the outline of the seats.

The chassis has been redesigned to deliver a standard of stiffness comparable to that of a closed berlinetta and there is a negligible weight difference also, thanks to work done on the chassis structure.

Thanks to the 670 CV engine beneath its bonnet, the SA APERTA beautifully embodies the sporty spirit of the 599, incorporating Ferrari's most advanced technology to deliver absolutely benchmark performance and superb driving pleasure. Its interior too is stylishly sporty with particularly sophisticated materials, trim and colours used throughout. The virtually endless combinations available guarantee that each and every SA APERTA is absolutely unique.

The red one is the way to go, so gorgeous!

 

I am really liking that white on blue SA APERTA. Just needs the GTO wheels and darker headlights ie blue ext colour ala MC12 style.

 

the white one by far best for me

 

Ferrari 599 SA APERTA

Our good friend Marchettino shot a few images for us during his travels to Maranello and as you can see the SA Aperta is breathtaking! The Ferrari 599 SA Aperta is a tribute to 80 years of Pininfarina design, in fact " SA " refers to Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina. The 599 SA Aperta is limited to just 80 units which makes this car very exclusive and rare. It has a manually removable soft roof and the same masterful engine is the of the 599 GTO. Enjoy!
