Ferrari 458 Speciale: The Car

The Ferrari 458 Speciale is not a regular 458. It is the track-focused, limited-production variant that Ferrari built to be the purest expression of the naturally aspirated V8. Only a limited number were produced worldwide, which makes it rarer than the standard Italia and more special to drive.

Performance Specs

  • Engine: 4.5L naturally aspirated V8
  • Horsepower: 597 hp
  • Torque: 398 lb-ft
  • 0 to 60 mph: 3.0 seconds
  • Top speed: 200 mph
  • Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch
  • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
  • Weight: Approximately 3,076 lbs (dry)
The 458 Speciale is the last of the naturally aspirated, mid-engine V8 Ferraris. No turbochargers, no hybrid assist, no artificial sound piped through speakers. When you open the throttle, you hear 597 horsepower of unfiltered Italian engineering screaming behind your head at 9,000 RPM. That sound alone is worth the rental.

What Makes the Speciale Different

Ferrari took the already excellent 458 Italia and made it sharper, lighter, and more aggressive. Key differences include:
  • More power: 597 hp versus 562 hp in the standard Italia
  • Lighter weight: Carbon fiber components reduce mass
  • Side slip angle control (SSC): Ferrari's system that lets you hold slides with confidence
  • Aggressive aero: Revised front splitter and rear diffuser for more downforce
  • Racing seats: Carbon fiber shell buckets that hold you in place

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Ferrari in Miami?

The Ferrari 458 Speciale rents for $1,599 per day at Premier Miami Rentals. Weekend rates are $1,499 per day, and weekly bookings bring the daily rate down to $1,299 per day. The security deposit is $5,000, which is an authorization hold on your credit card, not a fee. It is fully refundable when the car comes back in the same condition it left.

What Is Included

  • Pickup at our Miami location, ready and detailed
  • 100 miles per day included (overage billed per mile)
  • Full tank of premium fuel at pickup
  • 24/7 roadside assistance

How the Ferrari Compares to Other Miami Exotic Rentals

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Lamborghini Huracan EVO

The Huracan EVO is all-wheel drive, more forgiving, and $400 per day cheaper at $1,095. It is the better choice for first-time exotic renters who want confidence and ease. The 458 Speciale is rear-wheel drive, more powerful, and more visceral. It is the car for someone who has done the Lambo thing and wants something rawer. Read our [Lamborghini Huracan guide](/blog/lamborghini-huracan-rental-miami) for the full comparison.

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs McLaren 600LT Spider

The McLaren 600LT Spider is the closest competitor in spirit. Both are rear-wheel drive, both are track-focused, and both are for experienced drivers. The McLaren has a folding hardtop, which makes it more versatile for Miami's convertible culture. The Ferrari has the naturally aspirated V8 sound, which the McLaren's twin-turbo V8 cannot match. The McLaren rents for $1,095 per day. See our [McLaren guide](/blog/mclaren-rental-miami) for specs and driving routes.

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Audi R8 Spyder

The Audi R8 Spyder is the value exotic at $695 per day. It shares the same V10 architecture as the Huracan but costs less than half what the Ferrari does. If the Ferrari is booked or the budget does not stretch, the R8 Spyder delivers a mid-engine, open-air experience at a fraction of the cost. Browse both on our [fleet page](/fleet).

What It Is Like to Drive a Ferrari in Miami

The 458 Speciale is more intense than most cars in our fleet. The carbon fiber racing seats hold you tight. The steering is unassisted in feel, meaning every bump and ripple in the road comes through your hands. The exhaust note at full throttle is loud enough to set off car alarms on Brickell Avenue. This is a car that demands your attention and rewards you for giving it.

Around Town

In Miami traffic, the 458 Speciale is manageable. The dual-clutch transmission is smooth at low speeds, and the car has enough visibility for a mid-engine exotic. The main challenges are the wide body, the low front splitter, and the attention you will attract at every stoplight. Take speed bumps slowly and use valet whenever possible.

On the Highway

The Ferrari comes alive on the highway. The Rickenbacker Causeway to Key Biscayne is the best stretch in Miami for opening it up. The surface is smooth, the lanes are wide, and the ocean is on both sides. The naturally aspirated V8 builds revs linearly all the way to 9,000 RPM, and the sound bouncing off the bridge is something you will not forget.

In South Beach

The Ferrari 458 Speciale on Collins Avenue is peak Miami. Pull up to the Faena, the Setai, or the Edition and the valet will treat you like royalty. The car's presence is immediate and unmistakable. Read our [Miami Beach guide](/blog/exotic-car-rental-miami-beach) for detailed route and parking tips.

Best Places to Drive a Ferrari in Miami

Rickenbacker Causeway to Key Biscayne

The best driving road in Miami. Wide, smooth, and scenic. Open the Ferrari up on the straight stretches and listen to that V8. End at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park for photos with the lighthouse. About 25 minutes from our location.

Collins Avenue and Indian Creek Drive

The classic Miami Beach cruise. Collins is wide enough for the Ferrari, and the hotel valets along the stretch handle exotics daily. Indian Creek Drive is quieter and runs along the water. Read our [Miami Beach guide](/blog/exotic-car-rental-miami-beach) for route details.

Brickell Avenue at Night

Brickell Avenue at night with the skyline lit up is one of the most dramatic driving experiences in Miami. The Ferrari's exhaust note echoing off the high-rises is something else. See our [Brickell guide](/blog/luxury-car-rental-brickell-miami) for pickup and route details.

Wynwood for Photos

The Ferrari against Wynwood's murals is a photographer's dream. The sharp lines and aggressive stance of the 458 Speciale pop against the color-saturated walls. Go before 9 AM for the best light and empty streets. See our [Wynwood guide](/blog/supercar-rental-wynwood-miami) for photo spot details.

Who Should Rent the Ferrari 458 Speciale

Experienced Exotic Drivers

The 458 Speciale is rear-wheel drive, 597 horsepower, and sharp. If you have rented exotics before and want something more visceral than a Lamborghini Huracan, this is your car. First-time renters may prefer the all-wheel drive Huracan EVO or the Audi R8 Spyder for a more forgiving experience.

Special Occasions

A Ferrari for a birthday, anniversary, or proposal is the kind of memory that lasts. The 458 Speciale is the car for a once-in-a-lifetime day in Miami. Drive to lunch on South Beach, take the causeway to Key Biscayne, and finish with dinner in Brickell. Read our [wedding guide](/blog/wedding-luxury-car-rental-miami) if you are planning a special event.

Photoshoot and Production Teams

The Ferrari 458 Speciale is one of the most valuable cars in our fleet for production work. The name carries weight on camera, and the aggressive Speciale bodywork fills the frame. We offer production-friendly rates and flexible pickup windows. Delivery is available by special arrangement. See our [photoshoot guide](/blog/photoshoot-exotic-car-rental-miami) for production rental details.
