The Prancing Horse has just released the full Ferrari SA APERTA specs, as the new open-top model prepares for its global premiere in Paris. The official Ferrari SA APERTA specs say it's powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine developing 493 kW (670 hp) at 8250 rpm and 620 Nm (63 kgm – 457 lbft) of torque at 6500 rpm. With this monster under its skin, the Ferrari SA APERTA is able to rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and up to a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). The Ferrari SA APERTA specs list says the new model is equipped with a 6-speed F1 style transmission, a control system for stability and traction and a TPTMS (Tires Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System).
Here are the green numbers. The Ferrari SA APERTA
has a 17.5 l/100 km fuel consumption in the combined cycle and a 411 g/km CO2 emissions level. Someone has to keep the planet warm...
Speaking of emissions, the Ferrari SA APERTA is the first model to be equipped with the company's HELE (High Emotion Low Emissions) system. The name says it all. The HELE system is meant to reduce environmental impact without reducing driving pleasure
The HELE system of the Ferrari SA APERTA includes a Stop&Start system intelligent engine fan and fuel pump control, electronically-controlled variable displacement air-conditioning technology.
The Ferrari SA APERTA price list still hasn't been announced.
Ferrari Press Release:
At the Paris Motor Show Ferrari is presenting the SA APERTA, a strictly limited edition of just 80 cars, and the Ferrari California sporting the
first application of the HELE (High Emotion Low Emissions) system which is designed to enhance driving pleasure whilst reducing environmental impact.
The SA APERTA celebrates Pininfarina’s 80th year of activity and pays homage Sergio and Andrea. The SA APERTA is a new concept: a completely open-top interpretation of the architectural philosophy of the 599. It is an authentic roadster and comes with just an emergency soft top designed for use only if the weather gets particularly bad.
The SA APERTA features a lowered windscreen which, combined with the fact that the ride height has also been reduced, makes the car lower and sleeker. In profile the A-post creates an arc that ends with two aerodynamic buttresses integrating the two roll hoops which follow the outline of the seats. Each individual detail of the SA APERTA, designed by Ferrari Centro Stile in collaboration with Pininfarina, has been chosen to highlight the craftsmanship involved in its creation, with the finest materials – such as leather, carbon-fibre and Alcantara - used throughout from the dashboard to the roomy boot.
The SA APERTA is powered by a V12 producing 670 CV at 8250 rpm and maximum torque of 620 Nm at
6500 rpm, while gear changes are effected in just 60 milliseconds. These figures translate into absolutely outstanding performance. Backing up the performance is a chassis that has been redesigned to guarantee the same structural rigidity of the berlinetta without adding weight.
Also on the stand is the Ferrari California equipped with the HELE system. In an urban driving cycle that realistically reproduces a clients’ use of the car, these solutions reduce emissions by 23 per cent compared to the 299 g/km announced at launch. Over the homologated combined cycle (ECE+EUDC) CO2 emissions are cut to a best-in-class 270 g/km. This is thanks to a finely tuned balance between energy demanded (vehicle efficiency) and the increase in energy generated (engine efficiency), a result achieved through the introduction of innovative solutions and the optimisation of numerous technological features.
HELE also incorporates the Stop&Start system designed specifically for sporty driving - intelligent engine fan and fuel pump control, electronically-controlled variable displacement air-conditioning technology and gear shifts that adapt to driving style. These solutions combine to reduce emissions and boost driving pleasure. The Stop&Start system restarts the car in just 230 milliseconds, guaranteeing maximum rapidity in getting underway again.
The Ferrari California thus seamlessly melds sportiness and versatility. The latter attribute, in fact, extends not only to its use, but also to the now even richer array of trim and personalisation options possible. As well as the 16 standard exterior colours in the range, clients can also opt for two-tone finishes or three-layer paint technology. Other options include an even wider choice of leather finishes, including water-repellent leather.
Along with the SA APERTA and the Ferrari California on the stand at Paris will be the 458 Italia and the 599 GTB Fiorano with the HGTE pack, as well as the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro Formula 1 car that Alonso drove to victory in the last two Grands Prix.
