The Ferrari SA APERTA will be displayed at the Paris Motor
Show (2nd-17th October 2010) following its debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August in
Pebble Beach, California, USA, to selected individuals.
All 80 of the limited edition model have been sold.
Ferrari chose to limit the production of the SA APERTA to just 80 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 Ferrari SA APERTA is a true roadster which allows its occupants to enjoy the superlative sensations
afforded by the combination Ferrari’s signature front-engined V12 super car in a completely open-top
setting. In fact, it has just a light soft top designed to be used only if the weather gets particularly
bad. A low-slung windscreen and the fact that it sits lower to the ground than Ferrari’s other models and
provides the SA APERTA with exceptional aerodynamic sleekness. Its profile the windscreen arches back
from the A-pillar to the two aerodynamic fins that beautifully integrate the two roll-bars which
themselves mimic the outline of the seats.
The chassis has been redesigned to deliver a standard of stiffness comparable to that of the normal
Ferrari 599 on which it is based and there is a negligible weight difference thanks to work done on the
chassis structure.
With a 500 kW V12 engine beneath its bonnet, the SA APERTA embodies the performance spirit of the 599,
incorporating Ferrari's technology to deliver performance and driving pleasure. Its interior 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 unique.
