KUWAIT CITY, March 30: In a festive press conference on Monday, Al-Zayani, the official importer of Ferrari in Kuwait, unveiled to clients and the press Ferrari’s new 458 Italia. The event, held at the Ferrari dealership, was attended by Mohammed Dawleh, Brand Manager - Al-Zayani, Pietro Innocenti, General Manager - Ferrari Middle East & Africa as well as Derek Davies, Automotive Director - Ferrari, among other officials from Ferrari Middle East and Africa and Al Zayani. Speaking to the audience, Pietro Innocenti said that Ferrari’s new 458 Italia represents a very important step in the completion of Ferrari’s product range which comprises of grand tourism products and sports products. He said that in the 8th cylinder range, the cars are for everyday family use, however, they maintain the extreme performance Ferrari is known for.
Innocenti added the new V8-engined berlinetta is a synthesis of style, creative flair, passion and cutting-edge technology, characteristics for which Italy as a nation is well-known. For this reason Ferrari chose to add the name of its homeland to the traditional figure representing the displacement and number of cylinders.
In a release given to the press, Al-Zayani and Ferrari officials state that the 458 Italia is designed to fulfill the expectations and ambitions of the most passionate clients and it continues the Ferrari tradition of putting the thrill into driving as a result of track-derived technological innovations.
The Ferrari 458 Italia is a completely new car from every point of view: engine, design, aerodynamics, handling, instrumentation and ergonomics, just to name a few.
With the Ferrari 458 Italia, Maranello has brought a highly distinctive new car to its 8-cylinder range.
The company now offers two models that share a common, race-derived DNA, both exceptionally sporty and fun to drive in true Ferrari tradition, but aimed at two very different kinds of client.
While the Ferrari California was created for owners requiring a more versatile sports car with a practical edge, the 458 Italia is designed for owners for whom the priority is uncompromising on-road performance with occasional track day capability, but who still demand a car that is useable in day-to-day driving like all Ferrari’s recent models.
Ferrari produces a range of sports and GT cars powered by V8 and V12 engines.
As well as the V8-engined cars described above, clients can also choose from two V12 models.
The first, the 599 GTB Fiorano, is a mid-front engined V12 sports car — the most powerful 12-cylinder berlinetta ever produced by the company.
With 620hp and an enviable power-to-weight ratio the 599 GTB Fiorano represents the maximum expression of performance and driving involvement.
Complementing this extreme sports car is Ferrari’s flagship GT model is the 612 Scaglietti, which epitomizes Ferrari’s ability to create a car that boasts the comfort and practicality of a true 2+2 tourer, yet also offers levels of performance and handling normally only associated with the finest sports cars.
