Ferrari 599 SA Aperta For Sale in California

Before the F12 Berlinetta came along, the 599 GTB Fiorano was Ferrari's V12 flagship. A couple of very interesting variants were based on this car. One of them is the 599 GTO track-bred monster, while the other is the car we're talking about today - the Ferrari 599 SA Aperta, which is basically the Monaco jet set edition of the Italian grand tourer.

Created to honor the 80th anniversary of the Pininfarina auto design house, this is only one Ferrari 599 SA Aperta of 80 units ever built. When it was new, the US-spec variant held a hefty $456,000 sticker price. This Rosso Dino example of the breed is powered by a naturally aspirated 6-liter V12 engine, producing a terrifying 660 horsepower.

Yup, that engine is more or less the same unit that propels the 599 GTO, while the bonnet is also borrowed from the hardcore track-focused machine. On the inside, this particular SA Aperta is fully wrapped in Iroko and Cuoio two-tone brown leather, while a few other bits and bobs are made out of racy carbon fiber. The owner also customized this car with Rosso Dino dashboard inserts, orange stitching and even a bespoke four-piece luggage set.

So how much do you reckon this Rosso Dino Ferrari 599 SA Aperta with blacked out wheels, cavallinos and pillars costs? Considering it's got only 225 miles on the odometer and warranty is in effect until the 12th of December, the amount won't be as low as one might think. We don't know how to soften the blow, so here goes - the Californian dealer wants a cool $1 million for this exquisite Prancing Horse.
