Everyone has been talking in these past couple of weeks about a new mysterious Ferrari, called Dino, that could be powered by a V6-engine, but that supercar proved to be nothing but a very special, re-styled version of the 458, dubbed as the Ferrari 458 MM Speciale.
This unique vehicle was built around the same chassis and running gear as the 458 Speciale, but shows off some magical touches courtesy of Ferrari’s Styling Center. Apparently a picky and wealthy customer desired a new aluminum bodywork for his 458, with new carbon fiber bumpers, and that’s how this beauty was born.
With black-painted A-pillars, sweptback C-pillars, new side air scoops and a new rear spoiler, this Ferrari will surely stand out of the pack, especially when you take a closer look at its lovely Bianco Italia paint-job, which honors the Italian flag, just in case you didn’t knew from where this supercar comes from!
The one-off 458 also sports modified front and rear light clusters, along with a new set of bespoke alloys that finish off the exterior touches which make this car stand out from the stock Ferrari. Inside the cabin, the driver will experience Cioccolato leather upholstery, with white stitching, satin white rings around the tunnel controls and an enhanced audio system as well.
There’s no talk about performance figures of this unique ride yet, but the mid-mounted 4.5-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine is probably still hiding under that sleek bodywork and develops 605 PS (597 HP) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque – as initially intended. As such, we should expect 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3 seconds and a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
