Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta
The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta is a one-off convertible sports car based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. This car represents the second car in Ferrari’s Special Project program.
Vehicle Overview
The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta, a bespoke creation commissioned in 2008 by Edward Walson, stands as a modern marvel inspired by cinematic history. Walson’s request to Ferrari was clear: reimagine the iconic, gold-covered Ferrari 330 LMB from the 1968 film “Spirits of the Dead” through a contemporary lens. The car made its public debut on December 11, 2009, though it had been glimpsed earlier through spy shots, generating considerable anticipation. Crafted under the design auspices of Pininfarina and meticulously built in Maranello, the P540 adheres rigorously to global safety and homologation standards. Notably, Ferrari employed advanced engineering techniques such as finite element analysis and extensive use of carbon fiber to reinforce the chassis, ensuring structural integrity despite its transformation into an open-top configuration. Derived from the 599 GTB Fiorano, the P540 shares many technical specifications with its donor vehicle, inheriting its potent performance capabilities. The development process spanned 14 months, a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and engineering prowess required to bring such a unique vision to life. Beyond its technical specifications, the P540 Superfast Aperta embodies a fusion of automotive heritage and contemporary design ethos. Its sleek, aerodynamic lines pay homage to Ferrari’s racing pedigree while showcasing a bespoke exterior that captures the essence of luxury and exclusivity. This automotive masterpiece exemplifies Ferrari’s ability to blend tradition with innovation, offering discerning collectors a vehicle that not only performs at the highest levels but also stands as a timeless work of art. The P540 Superfast Aperta remains a testament to the boundless possibilities of automotive customization, where historical inspiration meets cutting-edge technology in a seamless fusion of past and present.
