When you talk about convertibles, it doesn't get much better than the Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta. Combining the muscle of the Speciale with the open-top good looks of the 458 Spider, the 458 Speciale A can hit 62 mph in three seconds dead, thanks to its 570-hp 4.5-liter V8 and slimmed down, aerodynamically-honed body. But the best way to see just how fast a car it is, is to pit it against other fast cars. And that's exactly what this video is all about.

How do you think the drop-top Speciale will do against the likes of the Nissan GT-R and BMW i8? And just how gorgeous is the exhaust note? Check out the vid to find out.
