Italy Ferrari 458, which is a huge leap forward from previous employer mid, rear-engined sports cars. The new model is a synthesis of style, a touch of creativity, passion and advanced technology, the characteristics of that Italy as a nation, is well known. For this reason, Ferrari chose to add the name of his country to the traditional figure representing the movement and number of cylinders.
 The Italian Ferrari 458 is a completely new car from all points of view: the engine design, aerodynamics, handling, instrumentation and ergonomics, to name a few. The two-seater Berlinetta cars, the Ferrari 458 of Italy, as is traditional for all Ferrari road course, benefits greatly from the Formula 1 of the company's experience. This is particularly evident in the speed and accuracy with which the car responds to the demands of the driver and the focus was on reducing the internal friction of the engine to reduce fuel consumption than the Ferrari F430, despite the fact that both the total displacement and power have increased. However, the experience of Ferrari's track makes its presence felt in Italy, Ferrari 458, not only in terms of pure technology transfer, but also an emotional level, because of the strong emphasis on creating an almost symbiotic relationship between driver and car. The Ferrari 458 Italy has an innovative driving environment with a new type of wheel and dashboard, which is the direct result of racing practice. Once again the entry of Michael Schumacher - who was involved from the very beginning of project Ferrari 458 Italy - played an invaluable role.
 The new 4499 cc V8 engine is the first direct injection of Ferrari in the mid-rear mounted. It has a very low compression height piston typical racing engines that have contributed to the achievement of its compression ratio 12,5:1. Equipped with traditional flat-plane crankshaft, the engine delivers 570 hp at 9000 rpm and with an extraordinary power of 127 hp / liter, establishes a new benchmark not only for the Ferrari range and the whole history of the company but also for the market segment in its entirety. Maximum torque is 540 Nm at 6000 rpm, over 80 percent of which is available from 3,250 rpm. Specific pair is a record of 120 Nm / liter. But what is truly extraordinary is the amount of torque available, maintaining high levels of torque at low revs. The Italian Ferrari 458 is equipped with seven-speed dual clutch transmission, which increases performance while providing very mild changes, even at full capacity. Engineers have developed specific sportier gear ratios to match the power and torque curves of the new V8, while ensuring a high torque, even at low engine speeds and allow the car to reach top speed in top gear.
The engineers also focused on weight reduction during the design phase for similar reasons. Consequently, the Ferrari 458 Italy has a dry weight of 1,380 kg with a power to weight ratio of 2.42 kg / hp. Weight distribution is also optimal with 58 percent in the rear axle. The result of the efforts of engineers can be summarized in two simple statistics that surround the exceptional performance perfection of Italy Ferrari 458: 0-100 km / h in under 3.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 325 km / h. With regard to vehicle dynamics, suspension of Italy Ferrari 458 features double wishbones at the front and a multi-Link-Up in the back tuned for maximum stability on the road and superlative handling. Along with a more direct steering ratio, the Ferrari 458 Italy thus offers turn a very high rate in the control body while maintaining superior ride comfort.
 The interior of the Ferrari 458 in Italy is another area of the car that celebrates its sporty personality. The driver is greeted by a new ergonomic design and a revolutionary interface, where the main controls are clustered on the wheel. Ferrari 458 Italy - Technical specifications |
