A mint Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta will now cost you £1m+
A mint Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta will now cost you £1m+ Rare mid-engined super convertible starts to reach unobtanium status. Shock horror Skip 18 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 18 The Ferrari 458 Speciale: you see it, you hear it, you want it. The issue these days is that a near-factory-fresh 'Aperta' will set you back over a million quid, as evidenced by this 350-mile example listed at RM Sotheby's. Good lord. It does at least get the traditional 'Rosso Corsa' paint finish, and has just about every option ticked off Ferrari's list, including titanium exhausts, racing seats and heaps of Alcantara and carbon fibre trim. Advertisement - Page continues below Aside from that utterly flawless body, the reason we take a liking to the Speciale is because of its mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 'F136' 4.5-litre V8. It'll kick and scream its way to a redline of 9,000rpm, and thanks to a healthy 597bhp/398lb ft, 0-62mph is sorted in just three seconds en route to a 199mph top speed. Supplementing that sonorous engine are various other highly technical bits, such as a seven-speed DCT transmission and adaptive damping. Plus, the Speciale gets an F1-derived traction control system with a rear-biased e-diff. Add in Ferrari's now familiar and still brilliant Side Slip dynamics control unit, and there's an incredible amount of duality to the Speciale: it'll dance when you want it to and grip when you don't. Given that just 499 Apertas were ever built, it's likely this car will only appreciate with time. So you may as well grab it now while it's 'only' a million-and-a-bit pounds.

A Ferrari 458 Spider burns an hour after delivery
Recently, a Ferrari 458 Spider burned to the ground on an expressway in Japan. According to the owner who had spent a decade saving to buy the car, it went up in flames within minutes of him taking it on a first drive. The owner, a 33-year-old Japanese music producer, took delivery of his 458 Spider, only to have it immolate on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. The owner posted on X: 'My Ferrari burned to ashes an hour after delivery.' He added: 'I bet I'm the only one in all of Japan to experience this kind of trouble.' What a 458 Spider looks like normally. No one was injured in the blaze, which took 20 minutes to extinguish. Everything was charred bar the leading edge of the front bumper. There was no crash prior to the incident. Evidently the new owner noticed the fire when driving on the expressway, stopped and got out, whereupon the fire took over. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the cause of the blaze. The Ferrari 458 was produced last decade. Ferrari issued a recall in July 2010 to sort a fire risk due to adhesive used in the wheel arch assemblies of Coupe models. Evidently it could overheat and was seen as a fire hazard. Ferrari rectified this by replacing the adhesive with metal fasteners. This particular car is a Spider model produced after July 2010, however. No doubt owners of 458s will want to know the cause of the fire. As for the owner, he should be behind the wheel of another Ferrari soon once insurance is sorted.

Bonnie Blue makes unbelievable purchase with OnlyFans earnings after her 'most disgusting stunt' yet
Bonnie Blue has revealed her life of luxury after being slammed for encouraging 'barely legal girls' to follow in her footsteps by having group sex with strangers. The English porn star, 25, gave fans a look into her life in a new 41-minute YouTube documentary. In the video, Bonnie detailed her recent exploits at Spring Break, where she slept with dozens of teenage boys and virgins for her OnlyFans account. She also revealed some of the ways that she spends her OnlyFans earnings, which included dropping five figures on her first Rolex watch during a wild shopping spree. After bragging that she's been making 'two million a month' on OnlyFans, Bonnie said that her $11,000 Rolex 'wasn't actually expensive'. 'I just wanted a really basic watch for a while, like a Rolex,' she said. In another scene from the documentary, Bonnie and her entourage hired a yacht and went sailing in Miami. Yachts and luxury watches aren't the only pricey purchases that Bonnie has made with her X-rated earnings. The 25-year-old - who claims to have broken the world sex record by sleeping with more than 1,000 men in a day - took to social media to flaunt photos of herself with a customized Ferrari 458 in early March. In the images, the blonde beauty posed up a storm next to the luxury car and beamed with pride over her new purchase. Bonnie has previously been accused of faking her OnlyFans earnings, but the English sex worker tells that she's not bothered by the criticism. 'I don't need to fake my earnings, my lifestyle speaks for itself,' she said defiantly. 'I'm grateful to the barely-legals and 1,057 men who afforded me my new Ferrari, and can't wait to continue to use my earnings to give back.' Bonnie was branded 'vile' this week after admitting that she's turned on by knowing that 'barely legal girls' will be following her example and taking part in group sex acts. She made the shocking comments after teaming up with social media star and Bop House resident Julia Filippo, 22. In a recent video featuring Julia and another influencer named Alice, Bonnie said, 'This is going to turn me on knowing I've got two barely legal girls watching, learning, seeing'. Bonnie boasted that she wanted to 'teach' the young girls her raunchy ways, before inviting Julia - who claims to be a virgin - to participate in one of her gang bangs. 'Julia is my type,' Bonnie purred. 'Virgin, young, and very sweet looking. Barely legal!' She also said that she refuses to use condoms during her wild group sex acts, which left Julia visibly shocked. Originally posted on Bonnie's Instagram page, the clip was later shared by another account on X - where it attracted more than 400 comments, the vast majority of which were extremely disapproving. 'She is vile. She needs to be jailed,' commented one user. Another X user added, 'Grim. Can you imagine the trouble there would be if it was a bloke saying it? Sickening.' A third person wrote, 'It's extremely disgusting to think that anyone would see in this woman someone to emulate. Sad really'. Bonnie has stated repeatedly that she's eager to sleep with 'barely legal' young men and women. 'I'm on the hunt for barely legal boys, but I've heard barely legal girls taste super sweet, I need to try this for myself,' she said in one TikTok video. Bonnie used to work as a cam girl and escort before switching to an OnlyFans career. She now rakes in millions and has become a bonafide celebrity, earnings invites to A-list Coachella parties and even landing a major endorsement deal with a software company. Bonnie recently stated that she wants to try and have sex with 2,000 men in 24 hours.
