The 2010 458 Italia will replace the F430 and its 483-horsepower, 4.3-liter V-8 with what Ferrari describes as an all-new engine, a 4.5-liter V-8 making 562 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, yet with lower fuel consumption. The car’s weight is part of this equation: The 458 Italia’s dry weight is just 3042 pounds, with 42/58-weight distribution.
Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher provided input for the 458 Italia project. One feature that came out of Schumacher’s involvement is an F1-like steering wheel and dashboard.
What ever the GOD of F1 wants Ferrari does. So Ferrari promised him (and Ferrari fans, yes we come second) better handling, aerodynamics, and a better design. Clearly, this latest mid-engine berlinetta is an evolution of the 2004-09 F430, itself derived from the F360 before it. Ferrari estimates a 0 to 100 kmh time under 3.4 seconds, which means it may match or even beat the ”poor man’s Ferrari“…..the “great” American Corvette ZR1. Ferrari says the 458 is able to reach a top speed of over 325kph.
Ferrari will debut the new 458 Italia at the Frankfurt Motor Show this Fall.
