Ferrari 458 might be on its last legs, soon to be replaced by the 488 GTB, but the spirit of the Italia will live on in the limited edition Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta, at lest until all 499 units are delivered.
Two of those 499 Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta were recently spotted cruising the streets of Monte Carlo, proving it is the new toy of choice for the city’s elite. We were expecting to see a bunch of teenagers behind the wheel of these Apertas. But it looks like they are all respectable businessmen who like to travel around the Principality in style:
