    Default Ferrari 458 Italia to replace F430




    Meet the the Ferrari F430’s replacement – the quite sensational new 458 Italia. Penned by Pininfarina, the 458 Italia is set to drive the prancing horse into a whole new dimension of desirability thanks to its radical looks, wind-cheating aerodynamics and soul-stirring performance. Built out of the firm’s rich Formula One experience and refined using the God-like talents of Michael Schumacher, the 458 Italia features an all-new direct-injection 4499cc V8 engine that will shoot its advanced aluminium-alloy chassis to 100km/h in under 3.4-seconds. 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...

    Big shoes to fill. The 430 is one of my favorites, and is pretty much synonymous with Ferrari... at least in my eyes.

    Much better looking than the 430, IMO. It's just striking.
    Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...

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