Harry Metcalfe, main man and founder of renowned British automobile magazine EVO, just had the chance to go with a friend to Ferrari’s factory in Maranello and pick up a brand new Ferrari SA Aperta, the car that his mate had ordered 12 months earlier. Only 80 units of this exclusive model will be produced, and it features the sort of top-notch finishing, materials and accessories that you would expect in a car of this leverage, as well as the usual Ferrari’s elegance, appeal and, obviously, performance. Ferrari SA Aperta is equipped with the same V12 unit powering the 599 GTO (producing 670 hp and 620 Nm of torque), and goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, with 325 km/h of top speed.

In this footage, Mr.Metcalfe takes the SA Aperta out for spin on the lovely hills of Tuscany and explains why the soft top version is more comfortable then its coupe counterpart, how the traction control got better and so on, providing an excellent all-round review of the model. Almost needless to say, the sound of the V12 makes for a perfect background soundtrack.
