And on the right road, with your foot flat, the new Ferrari will reach a maximum speed of 325km/h. Capable of such jaw-dropping velocities, the gorgeous shape of the 458 Italia naturally develops a considerable amount of downforce and – thanks to air-cutting geometry and a flat underbody – produces exactly 140 kilograms worth at 200km/h...

It's so so with me. I will love it when I see it, but the 430 looks better IMO.
