has changed everything, starting from the name, 458 Italy, where the first two numbers indicate the displacement and the last cylinders. "We wanted to dedicate a car to Italy, beautiful, extraordinary performance. With a level of innovation achieved by any Ferrari ever before," says the president of Luca di Montezemolo Cavallino. "A tribute to Italy and its unique features that make working, the products and the entire country synonymous with excellence, creativity and quality in the world."
The heir to the F430 is a supercar bold, also designed by Pininfarina in style: it marks the return of the big mouths "on the front, but also ventures to ultra-modern elements, like the headlights led to a form of "scimitar", the grille is divided in half by two large air intakes, the arched roof line and sharp, the three discharges in the middle of the back.
development and development has worked Michael Schumacher, who has followed step by step the car in all its evolution: an aluminum frame, for example, has been settled by the techniques used by the aerospace industry. The weight is: only 1,380 kilograms. Compared to the F430
mechanics has been radically changed: the direct-injection V8 rear-mounted power station has a larger displacement (4.5 liters against 4.3) and unleashes 570 bhp well, 80 more than the previous model, with a maximum torque of 540 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Translated performance means a maximum speed of 325 mph with acceleration "0-100" in 3.4 seconds.
Even the suspension layout has undergone important upgrades: Both the front double wishbone and multilink rear ones have been redesigned to meet the highest performance of 458 Italy, while other interventions have focused on the steering wheel to make it faster and more direct, the F1-Trac traction control and the E-Diff electronic differential derived from the racing world. But like all new "red" is a car designed for driving every day.
The gearbox is the double-clutch automated F1 seven-speed, optimized for its characteristics. Another benefit is a steering wheel that brings together all the main controls of the car. But to get to know it was not until the Frankfurt show in September. Meanwhile, enjoy these photos.
