The first Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta info has leaked over the web last night. The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta has been developed by the Italian carmaker's department for special projects and was commissioned by Edward Walson. If the Walson doesn't ring a bell, Edward's father, John, is widely regarded as the inventor of cable TV. The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta is based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and will be built in a single unit.
The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta was designed by Pininfarina with inspiration from the car featured in the 1968 movie Toby Dammit.
The owner went for looks rather than performance. The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta is heavier than
the standard car since it has no roof, so the chassis had to be strengthened. The power of the Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta comes from the standard 6.0-litre V12 engine that develops 612bhp, 448lb ft of torque. The engine sends the power to the rear wheels via a 6-speed sequential transmission.
The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta price has not been disclosed.
