Ferrari 458 Italia Pictures
The new Ferrari 458 Italia is described as a big leap forward. The progress must be the real thing because it comes in some real fast company considering Ferrari offerings throughout the years!
The 458 replaces the F430 and its 4.3-liter 483 hp V8 engine with a new 4.5-liter direct injection V8 making 562 hp and 398 lb.-ft. of torque. However, it uses less fuel than the last engine.
The new 458 benefits from a light 3250 curb weight and handling will be on the mark as its mid-engine layout will have a 48/52 front/ rear weight distribution.
The transmission will be a seven-speed duel-autoclutch supplied by Getrag. The suspension is control arm up front and multilink at the rear.
Seven time race car champion Michael Schumacher provided his expertise regarding product development for the 458. In addition to other technical aspects of the cars, Schumacher influenced the F1 type steering wheel and dash layout.
The 458 looks great as it is an aggressive evolution of the 2004- 2009 F430 which was derived from the F360 before it. Also, it has some Enzo mixed in for tradition.
Ferrari suggests that the 0-60 time will be under 3.4 seconds with an estimated top end of 202 mph.
The 458 Italia is at this month’s Frankfurt Auto Show.
