Ferrari tends to sell its models out extremely quickly - its wait lists are the stuff of legend. That’s especially true when the cars in question are of the fastest or most exclusive variety. If new reports are to be believed, Maranello has already sold the entire 499-unit production run of its new LaFerrari hypercar, and now Australia’s* Motoring* is claiming that Ferrari has also filled its order book for the entire first year’s production run of its new 458 Speciale.
For those unfamiliar, the 458 Speciale follows in a proud line of hardcore mid-engined V8 Ferraris in the footsteps of the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia. It’s lighter, more powerful and more aerodynamically advanced than the 458 Italia upon which it’s based, and just trails half a second behind the more powerful F12 Berlinetta (and the aforementioned LaFerrari) as the third-quickest road car ever to lap the Italian automaker’s Fiorano test track. That means it’s quicker even than the 599 GTO and Enzo.
Although we’ve yet to receive official word, we’re expecting a sticker price approaching $300,000 - about a quarter more than the 458 Italia. But that doesn’t appear to have stopped Ferrari from raking in the orders.
