Ferrari has unveiled the pictures and details of the 599 Roadster SA APERTA which will also be its show star at the Paris Motor Show.

The car is already sold out even before making its public debut and is a tribute to Italian styling house Pininfarina whose celebrating its 80th Anniversary this year and therefore only 80 of them will be built. The SA in nomenclature stands for Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina.

The Roadster comes with a soft top design which Ferrari says should “be resorted to only if the weather gets particularly bad”. The SA APERTA  gets low slung front windscreen, lower ride height and altered aerodynamics which include fins integrated into the rollover hoops. Ferrari has also redeisgned the chassis to deliver standard of stiffness comparable to that of a closed berlinetta and all that with negligible weight difference, all thanks to the work done on the chassis structure.

The newest and most exclusive Ferrari is powered by a 6.0 liter V12 engine producing 661 bhp of maximum power, which also powers the extreme 599 GTO announced earlier this year. Just 80 examples of the SA APERTA will be built which have already sold out following a private screening at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours in California.

The car will make it debut at the Paris Motor Show next week where the final price will be announced.

Press Release

The SA APERTA – the most exclusive Ferrari ever takes centre stage at Paris. A new V12 to celebrate Pininfarina’s 80th anniversary.

Maranello, 24th September 2010 – 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.

With only a few days to go for the Geneva Motor show, we have another leak this time in the form of leaked images of the upcoming Ferrari 599 Hybrid.

Ferrari had earlier confirmed the presence of 599 Hybrid at the 2010 edition of the Geneva Motor Show. Ferrari’s first ever hybrid would be a petrol electric and will also employ KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) from the F1 programme. The system captures the energy normally lost during braking at the flywheel and then send it to the wheels as a boost when the driver presses a switch on the steering wheel. 

A Start&Stop system may also appear on the hybrid.
