"&amp;quot;Aperta&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Italian. It comes as no surprise, then, that the Ferrari SA Aperta\u2014just unveiled today at the Paris Auto Show\u2014has no top. Well, it does have a minimalist one for emergencies such as rain, but in the rarefied world of super-exclusive convertibles, does a car such as this beautiful open Ferrari really need a top?   That&amp;#039;s a question best answered over some Chianti. For now, let&amp;#039;s just appreciate the SA Aperta for what it is\u2014&amp;quot;the most exclusive model ever,&amp;quot; according to Ferrari. With only 80 being built\u2014to honor the 80th anniversary of Pininfarina\u2014it is indeed an exclusive Ferrari, and all 80 of these roadsters that will be built have been sold.   Here&amp;#039;s what those lucky 80 are getting: It&amp;#039;s essentially a 599 GTO convertible powered by the high-revving 661-bhp V-12, up considerably from the standard 599 GTB&amp;#039;s 611 bhp. The &amp;quot;SA&amp;quot; in the name does not stand for Superamerica\u2014it&amp;#039;s for Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina, the Italian coachbuilder associated with Ferrari for so many years. Changes to the SA Aperta include a shortened windshield and two aerodynamic fins aft of the roll hoops. With additional chassis bracing, the Aperta, says Ferrari, has &amp;quot;a standard of stiffness comparable to that of a closed berlinetta.&amp;quot;   Let&amp;#039;s hope those 80 folks\u2014did I say they were lucky?\u2014find that out for themselves on the road. Cars this pretty deserve to be driven, not mothballed in some private collection. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
