Ferrari 458 Italia to be beyond your imagination


Ferrari has unveiled its latest replica, the Ferrari 458 Italia to be showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show to come. This all-new driving marvel is said to feature a new interior layout with main controls positioned on the steering wheel of the car. The Ferrari 458 Italia seems to be a mid-engined model that appears to have replaced the 430.

The chassis of the car is made of aluminum while its innovative 4, 5 liter, direct injected 4499 cc V8 engine produces staggering 570 horsepower at 9 000 revolutions per minute. This high performance super car boasts a 127 horsepower per liter while the down force is reported to be enhanced up to 140 kg at 200 kilometers per hour.

Additionally, the Ferrari 458 Italia comes equipped with suspension coming with a dual wishbone at the front and multi-link suspension at the rear thanks to which a high level of holding the road and high handling performance is guaranteed while E-Diff operates with a more modern traction control system.

The Ferrari 458 Italia boasts 140 kg of down force when driven at 200 kilometers per hour and the 7 speed dual clutch gearbox. Another advantageous point is low carbon emissions while maintaining an excellent performance. That said, the model is capable of catapulting from 0 to 100 kilometers in less than 3, 4 seconds.

The improved brakes in tandem with the ABS have shortened the braking distance to a modest 32, 5 meters. Thus, the replica generates only 320 grams of CO2 per kilometers while fuel consumption would be 13, 7 liters per kilometer. The maximum speed of the car is stunning 325 kilometers per hour with ensured driving comfort.

The Ferrari 458 Italia measures 76, 3 inches in width, 178, 2 inches in length and 47, 8 inches in height also offering a wheelbase of 104, 3 inches. The curb weight of the car amounts to 1380 kg while weight distribution is smart enough to be 58 per cent over its rear axle. Other features include sport like interior, perfectly looking forged wheels and seats generally used in racing.
