Introduced in 2009, the Ferrari 458 Italia marked the last of its kind. Among the entries into the marque’s mid-engined V-8 supercar series that originated with the 308 GTB of 1975, it proved to be the final outing for a naturally aspirated engine and the last time that the styling would be entrusted to long-time collaborator Pininfarina. Evolved in 2013 to become the more powerful and lighter 458 Speciale, the track-focused coupé remains one of the most celebrated and critically acclaimed Maranello creations of the 21st Century.

The 458 Speciale offered here was built in left-hand-drive form for the Middle East. It was configured with Bianco Avus paintwork featuring dual stripes finished in Racing Nero Stellanto. The interior, meanwhile, blends black Alcantara with contrasting yellow seat inserts, stitching, and Cavallino logos embroidered into the headrests. Further specification highlights include the wing-mounted Scuderia shields, the yellow callipers for the carbon-ceramic brakes that sit behind 20-inch black forged wheels, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, plus the carbon fibre Driver Zone featuring LED shift lights on the steering wheel.

The Ferrari was delivered to its first owner in Bahrain via official marque dealer Euro Motors before swiftly moving to the United Kingdom, where it was registered by a private keeper from March 2016. Service stamps record that annual maintenance was carried out between July 2016 and October 2021 by H R Owen Ferrari, with the car noted as showing 1,313 kilometres during its final visit.

Since relocating to Dubai the following January, the 458 benefits from a December 2022 and most recent 29 September 2025 service performed by official Ferrari centre Al Tayer Motors. The Speciale now heads to auction, accompanied by its owner’s guides and tools, showing a modest 2,169 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.
