📖SA Aperta: ultra-rare 80-unit open V12 roadster where collector completeness and hydraulic health are paramount

Ferrari SA Aperta (2010)

Built in a strictly limited edition of 80 cars to commemorate Pininfarina's 80th anniversary, the SA Aperta is an open-top automotive jewel rather than an everyday convertible. In contrast to modern cabriolets like the Aston Martin DB12 Volante, the SA Aperta is an uncompromising collector icon housing the ferocious GTO-specification 670 hp V12 beneath its lowered windscreen. Anyone consulting Ferrari 599 maintenance records must evaluate this rare roadster with exceptional connoisseur discipline.

Alongside the V12 powerplant and F1 SuperFast automated manual gearbox, the SA Aperta introduces unique structural and body components that dictate market valuation. The removable temporary fabric soft top, optional carbon-fibre hardtop, aerodynamic buttresses and model-specific trim must all be fully accounted for and undamaged. Because many examples spend years in climate-controlled collections, issues such as dried weatherstripping, low-voltage ECU errors, stale hydraulic fluids and flat-spotted tyres are commonplace.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Sublime combination of the 670 hp GTO-spec naturally aspirated V12 and an open-air roadster configuration.
  • Ultra-exclusive production run of only 80 numbered cars guarantees blue-chip tier collector status.
  • Reinforced chassis retains excellent structural integrity and cornering precision despite the open roof design.
  • Genuinely communicative mechanical feel with rapid F1-SuperFast gear shifts and spine-tingling open exhaust acoustics.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Roof accessories completeness: verify the presence, condition and fit of the manual fabric soft top, tonneau and optional carbon hardtop.
  • F1 electro-hydraulic transmission: test cold-start priming, accumulator pressure retention and smooth gear changes during warm running.
  • Static storage consequences: check tyre manufacturing dates, battery voltage logs, rubber bushing flexibility and fluid moisture content.
  • Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes: examine disc surfaces and check diagnostic wear percentages before concluding purchase negotiations.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Verification of all factory-supplied roof panels, toolkits, car cover and Classiche documentation.
  • Annual engine oil and filter renewal with Shell Helix Ultra 10W-60 synthetic lubricant.
  • F1 gearbox hydraulic fluid renewal and actuator calibration every 24 months.
  • Brake fluid replacement every 24 months to prevent internal calliper corrosion and moisture buildup.
