The car also lapped the Top Gear test track in 1:19.1, just 0.1 seconds slower than the Ferrari Enzo. In a drag race against a Ferrari F430, it won by a considerable margin. The 458 was also reviewed on 15th season of Top Gear, where it received acclaim for its styling and performance. It has been designed to be Ferrari's sportiest V8-engined car, to distinguish itself from the recently launched Ferrari California. The car's interior was designed using input from former Ferrari Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, including a new steering wheel design which incorporates many features and controls as opposed to their being on the dashboard, similar to racing car designs.Īccording to British car magazine Autocar, the 458 Italia's design has drawn inspiration from the Enzo Ferrari and its Millechili concept car. In particular, the front grille features deformable winglets that lower at high speeds, in order to offer reduced drag. The car’s exterior styling and features were designed for aerodynamic efficiency, producing a downforce of 309 lb at 124 miles per hour. The body was designed by Pininfarina, as with all recent Ferrari models. The adaptive magnetorheological dampers are co-developed with BWI Group.įerrari's official 62 mph acceleration is under 3.4 seconds, while top speed is over 202 mph, with a fuel consumption in combined cycle 17.7 mpg - while producing 307g/km of CO 2. This combined with the ABS has reduced 62-0 mph braking distance to 107 ft. The brakes include a prefill function whereby the pistons in the calipers move the pads into contact with the discs on lift off to minimize delay in the brakes being applied. The car's suspension features double wishbones at the front and a multi-link set-up at the rear, coupled with E-Diff and F1-Trac traction control systems, designed to improve the car's cornering and longitudinal acceleration by 32% when compared with its predecessors. It is the first mainstream model to not be offered with a manual transmission. There is no traditional manual option, making this the fourth road-car after the Enzo, Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia not to be offered with Ferrari's classic gated manual. The only transmission available on the 458 is a dual-clutch 7-speed GETRAG gearbox, in a different state of tune shared with the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. The engine features direct fuel injection, which is a first for Ferrari mid-engine setups in its road cars.
The 458 Italia was officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September 2009.The 458 Italia is powered by a 4.5 L V8 engine derived from a shared Ferrari/Maserati design, producing 562 hp at 9,000 rpm (redline) and 398 lb The 458 Italia replaces the Ferrari F430. The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engined sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari.
