Removing the Ferrari 599 SA Aperta "roof"

The 2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta is a very rare model limited to only 80 cars worldwide and powered by the Ferrari 599 GTO engine. The limited production of just 80 models was in homage to the 80th Anniversary of Pininfarina. The car has only continued to appreciate in value with another SA Aperta selling 3 years ago at RM Sotheby's auction for $1,182,500! If I had to guess I would say they are worth over $1.5 million USD now.
This car is meant to be enjoyed as a roadster with no roof but Ferrari did provide a very basic soft top for emergency situations and very few cars were ordered with a removable carbon fiber hardtop. Both tops are extremely expensive. Removing the soft top is very quick with just 2 latches at the front but it looks like it is somewhat of a headache once you get it off. The owner of this car bought a large velcro strap to wrap around the top so it doesn't bounce around in the trunk and cause any damage to itself.
Regardless of the "roof" and how it is somewhat of a joke like the Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster soft tops I really respect the owner for driving and enjoying his extremely rare Ferrari SA Aperta!

That's the most advanced technology I have ever seen in a race car...

I’d rather own an 812 GTS even though the 599 SA Aperta looks so much better to me, just because of the automatic hard top convertible. I don’t want to have to deal with that manual roof lol.

[@hafizuddinmohdlowhim8426]

That gts technology is more advanced.

Exclusive content. Loving it bro. You're on top of your game!

Manual rooftop. In case of rain. You maybe get wet. If you can't close the roof in time. I have seen cases like this before. But the car is awesome.

599GtO is my favorite front engined Ferrari

[@Speedracer38]

I would take a 599 GTO over the F12 TDF and so many other cars any day! Such a special car

[@alexmartinez280]

SA Aperta is the GTO with no roof and softer suspension. My preference is always Coupé but in this case the SA Aperta would be my choice. I do agree the GTO is my pick over TDF or 812. The beautiful Ferrari is being replaced by an overly aggressive design language. This coming from a man who calls the 612 the most elegant 2+2 Ferrari ever made. A car I will own one day

[@IvyLeagueCars]
