2011 Ferrari 458 Italia

The Ferrari 458 Italia was first unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, stepping in to replace the much-loved F430. 

Widely celebrated as one of the finest supercars to wear the Prancing Horse, the 458 Italia represents the zenith of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V8 lineage.

At its heart is a high-revving, mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 4.5L V8 producing a whopping 570hp that sends power to the rear wheels via an E-diff and an ultra-quick shifting dual-clutch transmission.

True to Ferrari tradition since 1951, the 458 Italia’s stunning form was penned by Pininfarina. Its sleek silhouette proudly wears the famed design house’s badge on the rear quarters, marking a poignant farewell as Ferrari controversially transitioned its design in-house thereafter.

Every curve of the 458 Italia’s body was meticulously crafted for aerodynamic efficiency, achieving a remarkable 140kg of downforce at 200 km/h. Ingenious details include deformable front winglets that adapt at high speeds to reduce drag, blending beauty with purpose.

Inside, the cabin reflects Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of perfection, shaped in part by Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher. This obsessive focus on performance and design culminated in critical acclaim, with Evo Magazine’s Chris Harris and Lee Stern proclaiming it- 

“razor-sharp responses and a wailing soundtrack combined for an awesome final curtain call of the naturally aspirated high-revving Maranello-born V8… The 458 continues what must be the finest patch of road-car form Ferrari has ever enjoyed.”
