One-Off Worth About 2 Million , New Ferrari SP-8 2024 , It is a Roofless Roadster.
Maranello's Special Projects division modified the F8 Spider by removing the roof mechanism and creating a two-tone carbon bodywork
You have to be rich to buy a brand new supercar made by Ferrari. But to get Ferrari to build a special car for you, you need to be rich on a completely different level. That's what Maranello does for a few select customers every year, and that's its latest product, the SP-8.
'SP' stands for 'Special Projects', the department responsible for these one-off works, and '8' is a reference to the now discontinued F8 Spider, the final version of the car that started life as the 458. And mechanically, the SP-8 is identical to the F8, as the SP team doesn't bother with what's under the skin, so it has a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 that produces 710 hp (720 PS). But the skin itself is very different.
The difference comes from a new set of carbon suits that subtly reshape the F8's body, as well as a clever two-tone color scheme that tricks your eyes into thinking the restyling is even more radical. The rear bodywork is painted silver, while the front has visible carbon trim that looks like it's trying to consume the rest of the car.
The nose features a full-width cast aluminum grille made from a single 3D printed mold; vertical spokes are spaced and angled through a combination of the design team's vision of what looks right and the aerodynamics department's flow data. There are also special headlight covers, and the rims refer to the appearance of the rims used on cars such as the F40.
The design on the back refers to more modern cars. The square exhaust tips come from the 296 GTB and the taillights are lifted from the Roma but given unique lenses. Inside, there's a mix of new and old, as the basic dashboard architecture is retained from the F8, while the F1 transmission's gear selector adopts the retro-looking gate first introduced on the SF90 Stradale.
The owner of the business is apparently from Taiwan, so let's hope the weather is nice there, because SP-8 has no roof. But then again, if you can afford the rumored $2 million to get on the Ferrari Special Projects Christmas card list , you probably have a few more cars you can use when it rains.
