Ferrari builds an automotive masterpiece: the Ferrari 458 Italia

Ferrari continues to amaze the automotive world with this new Ferrari model known as the Ferrari 458 Italia . How can a car company bring out a car and out do themselves one car after another?

One word comes to mind that word being : passion. Each car they build is filled with automotive passion and driving excitement. Stack it up to the F430 and if your an owner of one you will be wanting to trade it in or pick up the new F458 Italia and add it to your stable: it's that beautiful and revolutionary.

Stylistically the new Prancing Horse 458 Italia has an all new face that  you will remember for a lifetime.

From the rear you can see Enzo styling influences which were also found on the previous F430. This is a good thing as the Enzo is the ultimate icon from Ferrari. The 3 exhaust pipes are a first from Ferrari (as I can recall) on one of their cars and it is ultra aggressive. This exhaust should sound like thunder throughout the mountains.

Enough with the beauty... What is under the hood?

The engine is mid-rear mounted and a V8 with 562 horsepower which is just about 50 more than the F430. Ferrari says it can get from note to sixty in just 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph.
Michael Schumacher was involved in the development of this car so achieving that 200 mph plus speed limit on the track will be highly attainable.

This all-new Ferrari will grace the showroom floors of the Frankfurt Auto Show. Pricing has yet to be announced.
