The Ferrari 599 SA Aperta is a special edition based on the successful Ferrari 599 and designed by Pininfarina. During its production from 2010 to 2012, only 80 units were made, making it an extremely rare model. The name "SA Aperta" honors designers Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina, whose initials are included in the model name. Under the hood of the Ferrari 599 SA Aperta beats the powerful V12 heart of the Ferrari 599 GTO. The 6.0-liter V12 engine produces an impressive 661 hp and reaches 620 Nm of torque. This allows the convertible model to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and achieve a top speed of over 325 km/h (202 mph). These technical data clearly underline the supercar character of this vehicle.
