# The Ferrari 458 MM Speciale Is a Sextastic One-Off 458 Speciale

It must be rough, living in a world where Ferrari’s normal model range isn't exclusive enough for you. That seems to have been the case for one Brit, [as he recently commissioned Ferrari to build him his own one-off Ferrari 458 Speciale](<https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-eurocars/ferrari-458-mm-speciale/34310>) called the 458 MM Speciale.

This one-off, [which seems to be the same Ferrari we spotted lurking around Maranello a couple months ago](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/3131/this-could-be-ferraris-new-488-gtb-based-custom-supercar>), has the same working bits as the standard 458 Speciale that preceded the 488 GTB. If you need a reminder, that means that it has a screaming, naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 making 597 horsepower. Hey, why mess with that

On the outside, though, it’s a different story, as the car has been reworked from one end to the other. The whole body of the car, except for the carbon-fiber bumpers, is made from aluminum. The front end is a bit more swoopy than what we've seen on recent supercars from Maranello. That dual-tone lower lip on the front bumper looks ready to swallow all the air it can suck in. The taillights look like they were borrowed from [the 488 GTB](<https://www.thedrive.com/supercars/161/heavy-breathing-in-the-ferrari-488-gtb>). And those ten-spoke wheels are rolling perfection.

Like the normal 458 Speciale, the 458 MM is packed with venting and aggressive-looking aerodynamic bits in the back. To keep running temps down, the MM’s side intakes deliver more engine cooling air than a standard 458 Speciale's inlets, along with help from the MM’s new tightly-mounted radiators.

Ferrari says the owner demanded "extremely sporty lines" from his one-off sports car. Call me crazy, but looking at the side profile, I swear I see a little [Ford GT](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2984/the-ford-gt-is-on-sale-but-youd-better-be-quick>) mixed with some [Lotus Evora](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/826/the-evora-400-sounds-like-the-carbureted-lotus-roadsters-we-love>) in there. Maybe it's that raked rear roof? Either way, it's a nice touch.

No word on how much this Ferrari cost its British owner, but presumably, it was a lot. ([Eric Clapton's one-off](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/3450/you-can-now-tour-the-ferrari-museum-on-google-maps>), for what it's worth, reportedly cost around $4 million.) But if you have the cash and can convince Ferrari to make you your very own car...why not, right?
