Ferrari says that it only takes 14 seconds to lower or raise the retractable hard top and the weight difference between the 458 Speciale A and coupe is only 110 pounds.
The 458 Speciale A holds the title as Ferrari’s most aerodynamic convertible ever and will debut at the show in a triple-layer yellow livery with a Blu Nart and Bianco Avus central stripe with five-spoke forged wheels in Grigio Corsa. The interior features blue carbon fiber with redesigned seats wrapped in Alcantara.
