2 Aperta in Mexico Ferrari 599 SA Aperta | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Ferrari 599 SA Aperta | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
I think this Aperta is the goofiest looking Ferrari. That's my opinion. My apologies to those who own them. I'd like to see Ferrari NOT follow the industry standard of thinking they need to have a soft top and a "scudded" version of every model. They are following the program of Porsche...a 911, then 911 S, then 4 then 4S then turbo then turbo S, and targa, and whatever else. Uggh! Why? Why??
I have seen many Apertas between the Cavallino in Palm Beach and Pebble Beach car week, I'll go back through photos and see what VINs I can find!

That is a special projects car for Peter Kalikow--one of the most famous collectors from New York. I don't think they called it an "Aperta." I think it is a 599.
Correct. It's just called Superamerica 45. Aperta just means "open", but it's not part of the name for the SA 45. The SA Aperta however does carry the wording, and is thus the SuperAmerica Open in plain English. Not exactly what you'd call inventive...
Kalikow owned a classic SuperAmerica and I think this was done on the 45th anniversary of that older car. Don't have time to google it, but I think that is right.
One on one » Ferrari Magazine - For Ferrari cars owners and fans "It’s his car and his alone, and commemorates 45 years of Ferrari ownership." Could be one and the same though as what Drive550PFB said.
