The Speciale has the same size brake rotors. If you remove the internal drum brake assembly of the rear brake rotors on the regular 458, the rotors interchange. They are essentially the same brakes as are found on the 488 and F8. Calipers are also the same between the Speciale, 488, F8, TdF and 812. I learned all of this when I bought Surface Transforms rotors for my 488 and Pista. The Pista does have a different front rotor because it is 38 mm wide, but a regular 36 wide rotor and 38 mm wide rotor actually interchange between all the above cars.
Very cool video Dan. Each car has some unique features that I either like or dislike. Never really noticed them because I’ve never seen them side by side. When the opportunity arises do more videos like this.
This like the Ginger or Mary Ann question. Neither one is getting kicked out of the garage. Carbon fiber everywhere on both. But the Speciale is more refined and "grown up" Both are awesome with subtle differences. Great video.
The Speciale CF seats are the same CF seats as was later used in the 488 and F8. Those paddles looks to be the factory paddles which are also found in the Pista.
@@normalguysupercar The long paddles are standard on all VS cars these days. You can also order them as an option. Got them in my F8. I feel like once you get used to them, you can’t really go back to the short paddles. They are so much nicer to use.
The Speciale seems to have more in common with the Scud than the Italia. There is similar trim on the Scud as the Speciale. And of course the different engine/tranny spec in the Speciale and Scud, than the normal versions of each. I'd be interested in a comparison between a Scud and Speciale...
The problem ist just that the Speciale is too expensive to drive it and to have fun with it. The difference in "fun factor" to the Italia isn´t that big and only really noticible on a race track. You could have mention that the Speciale has the same brakes like the La Ferrari. It is much more fun driving the Italia instead of keeping the Speciale in the garage, life is too shot for not having fun. On a side note, "not driving your car to keep mileage low for resale, is like not banging your girlfriend to keep her tight for the next guy".
The "fun factor" in the Speciale is higher, whenever there are curves, as it doesn't have "safety understeer" built into it like an Italia does. It rotates like a dream.
The Speciale is worth every penny; very expensive but still under valued. Think about how many resto-mod 911s from Singer and Gunther Werks that are selling for way more money than this incredible machine. The Speciale will blow them all away; better performing, better sounding, better looking, lower production numbers, etc. How many F1 championships has Porsche won?? In 20 years we will have companies chopping up normal 458s turning them into "Speciale tribute cars" selling for over $3mm...
One common difference is that speciales interiors are usually in perfect condition. While Italia's look old and worn. If you get a perfect condition Italia with carbon everything and carbon race seats, I think it holds up well against the speciales interior.
Those wheels on the 458 Italia are actually from the 16M not the 458! Regarding the engine rpm limit, in fact the Speciale engine can spin above 10000rpm, but it was limited by emissions at the time, it was not approved so Ferrari limited the engine speed cut. Love both cars, but the Speciale is a dream! Good content
Those are the correct wheels on the 458, not sure what you’re referring to? The Speciale engine may be capable of spinning to 10k but I doubt it would be effective at that RPM considering that useful power rapidly trails off after 8,000RPM
love the speciale. I've replaced the exhaust to capristo and brakes to girodisc steel ones. ceramics didn't work, impossible to warmup them on the streets.
👍 just my thought. The only feature of the Speciale that I find cool is the ducktail, but the regular 458 is sporty yet much more bella machina overall.
@@dannyarooster The delta between the Italia and Speciale will more than likely widen significantly in the coming years. Look at older cars like the 360 and 360CS or F430 and 430 Scud. At the end of the day sooooo many Italia's has been produced compared to Speciale's, and that usually affects such things. As for 2M in 15 years? Perhaps, but that has to be measured against inflation and so on. Will 2M be a lot if the future equivalent to an F8 or 296 is close to or over 1M? It's like an F40. It's worth 8-10 times it's MSRP, but it's also 36 years old. In 1987 349k was a lot of money. Speculation is hard with mass produced exotics, and there are many owners out there with big dreams of massive fortunes. I doubt it will change much though. By that I mean that for a car to really become something to invest in, it has to be very rare and sought after. Something like a TdF, Comp, GTO, or 599 SA might become one of those cars, but reality is that few things are sure-fire investments, unless you talk halo cars or significant historic cars.

Yeah it's cool to see the differences
Awesome comparison! Thanks, Dan, good job! 👍
You're welcome
Good presentation! Thank you Dan!
My pleasure!

Great video.
Haha yes
I really like this guy! Nice videos
Awesome, thank you!
awesome to have such a rare car in for sale at your dealership. I'd come by just to look at the masterpiece
Couldn't agree more!
The Speciale CF seats are the same CF seats as was later used in the 488 and F8. Those paddles looks to be the factory paddles which are also found in the Pista.
Yeah I was curious on the paddles as the 458 has much much smaller ones
@@normalguysupercar

A 458 Spider with a few mods (larger PS4S tires, novitec springs, RSC1 brake pads) is more polyvalent, as fun and a lot cheaper 😎
Yes, love those
Ferrari don’t mod to maintain value
Perhaps so but it's not a Speciale. 😉

I second the Scud vs Speciale comparison since I'm looking at getting a Scud, but don't know if I should just keep saving for the Speciale instead.
Yeah I want to do that comparison for sure
Sounds like the only answer is BOTH!@@RossoFormula
The pricing you have this listed at makes it a great deal
I think so

Yeah it's approaching the too valuable point rapidly
Yea and that is worth 300k ? Keep on dreaming. @@JustinTipton
Can u take the fenders hood ect and put it on the reg 458?
Sort-of. The rear is a problem as it's a different exhaust.
Either one would make a Great Christmas gift 🎅🤶 Ho Ho Ho 👍😉
Oh yes!
Another "Speciale" video! Keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
I Love these cars. I Love this video. I Love it all.
Thank you
Did you know that your EGO leaf blower can really shorten toweling time after a wash?
Yes!
More like $400k difference? Since you have Speciale listed at $535k, you are not expecting this Turdalia to fetch $285k or even $185k for that matter?
Well that's not a good example to compare lol
458 speciale interior is absolutely stunning ❤
It really is!
It would be relatively easy to replicate the 458 speciale from the 458 Italia, I could do it. Although I really like the standard 458 Italia.
That's a lot of stuff that's different and a lot of money
you need to mention price!
it would be best to talk about it at the beginning so we can listen to the differences with context
Well it's not that simple
What about the exhaust sound?
It's glorious
@@normalguysupercarso which has better exhaust sound?

That's mostly because they are alcantara which holds up to wear better than the soft leather
Such a beautiful spec.....
It's spot on for my dream car
Rather cool
Indeed!
I'm guessing there are kits to make a Italia look like a Speciale...
Yes there are
I can remember when the coupes were priced reasonably... those days are clearly over!
Yup

Those are definitely the correct wheels it came with from the factory
My dreams are limited to a 370Z.
That's still fun
it is.@@normalguysupercar
Wow, why would the owner decide to sell that car. KEEP iT!
It is like divorcing the Perfext wife. Insanity!
Haha well variety is the spice of life
Over $500,000 and no glove box?!?!? Well I’m OUT! 😂
But you get a net?
love the speciale. I've replaced the exhaust to capristo and brakes to girodisc steel ones. ceramics didn't work, impossible to warmup them on the streets.
You just gotta jam the brakes at every intersection. Lol
The Ferrari Enzo has active aero
Very cool
it's more like 325k difference....i wish it's 250k @@
Depends but yeah
The Speciale def sounds worse due to the shorter exhaust pipe
With the factory exhaust yes
Ok I’ll be the first one to say it.. I have no doubt the Speciale is superior to drive but the standard 458 is a better looking car.
👍 just my thought. The only feature of the Speciale that I find cool is the ducktail, but the regular 458 is sporty yet much more bella machina overall.
I prefer the speciale but the 458 is no slouch in the looks department
Dan! Keep the speciale for yourself!
I wish
Can you changed your into with the cop talking? I think it’s time guys.
Na
To me the plain 458 is the most beautiful Ferrari ever.
It's up there
so you have lightweight nuts huh? hey just kidding incredible car
Lol yup
The speciale is more a raw driver experience everything more crisp
Yes indeed
Both of them are beautiful but the speciale molto cabella
Yes indeed
How any serious car enthusiest can drive an automatic just goes to show another reason rome is on the brink of falling.
I'm gonna have to say that's BS. I like manuals, and I like flappy paddles. Both have a place and both can be extremely fun.
These cars are beyond the abilities of most drivers. Having to shift the car can make it more dangerous to the car.😂
That's just another 458 worth of money
Lol yup
Yup
Yup
Um no! 😂
No?
@@normalguysupercar I rather have a lake front vacation property ;)
2M bucks in 15 years..
Hope that's true...would make the 458 elevate too. Delta from Italia to speciale isn't as wide as 488 to pista

I suspect it will be always considered one of the top Ferraris and therefore have huge values
😯👍👍👍🙏🚗
Yup
