    499 Produced. About 30% of those came to the US.

    I think we can call that approximately 499 of each - fantasy investors are buying into the last NA 8 cylinder Ferrari aspect for the SA - see all the other discussions of that !

    Can't speak for everyone but personally it was the fact that it was the "last" NA V8 Ferrari marking the end of an era. Regulations and restrictions on mpg, sound etc, etc will most likely make Ferrari use tt or hybrid engines in the V8 and eventually all their models making the 458 SA (a limited edition) classic. The performance, look, sound and driving feel of the SA is impressive to say the least. All those combine to make it something special.

    +1. It is truly a special car. I have not driven a 16M but the SA is more beautiful to my eye and a total blast to drive.

    More Apertas than 16M's. Both wonderful drivers cars from a bygone era.
