The Ferrari 458 MM Speciale Is A GTO-Inspired One-Off That'll Make You Lose Your Mind
The era of Ferrari’s naturally-aspirated, V8-powered supercars may well be coming to an end, but we don’t mind so much given that this gorgeous piece of metal is effectively the swansong. It’s called the 458 MM Speciale, and it’s just been revealed at Fiorano circuit after being signed off by chief Ferrari test driver Dario Benuzzi.
Under the skin you’ll find all the same oily bits as the regular 458 Speciale - meaning a 4.5-litre, 597bhp V8 and a chassis to die for - but everything on top has been changed.
There are redesigned carbon composite bumpers at the front and rear, and redesigned light clusters at both ends. We don’t know about you, but we’re particularly fond of what’s going on at the rear.
The bodywork is all new and made from handcrafted aluminium, with the A-pillars painted black to create a visor-style wraparound windscreen which Ferrari says is “very much in the style of the 1984 Ferrari GTO”. The whole shebang is finished in Bianco Italia, with an Italian flag-inspired set of stripes.
Want one? Tough, it’s just a one-off, built especially for an “enthusiastic British owner.” We have no idea who this owner is, but he or she clearly has a lot of taste.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

An enthusiastic british owner, you man a man with a lot of money who has a pension for White ferraris? I wonder who that might be…
Is it just me or is it look like a mash up of LaFerrari with Ford GT and Lotus Evora? but It look cool you know
Holy sh!t, that looks nice.
Why wasn’t the original 488 like this?

Well it’s white so it’s probably for Chris Evans :3
I’m not really much of a Ferrari fan, however, I personally think this is how the 458 GTB should have been from the beginning. I really do love the wrap around windshield effect it gives the vehicle a very bold, striking and prominent presence.
This owner has great taste.
That´s not a Ferrari, Ferraris are red.
Like many have said, there is plenty of Evora some 2016 GT in the front. I like
Most beautiful car I’ve ever seen
a reaaaaal good
