The 458 Italia is a synthesis of technological innovation, creative flair, style and passion, a combination of characteristics for which Italy as a nation is renowned. Ferrari’s Chairman, Luca di Montezemolo, chose to pay homage to this fact by adding the name of the car’s homeland to the traditional figure representing the displacement and number of cylinders.

The Ferrari 458 Italia is clean-sheet design and features a raft of track-derived technological innovations involving every aspect of the cars functions, including engine, chassis, vehicle dynamics and electronics, aerodynamics and revolutionary man-machine interface.

Thanks to a new 4,499 cc V8 engine, which punches out 570 CV, the F1 dual-clutch gearbox and a 1,380 kg dry weight, the 458 Italia boasts an extraordinary weight power ratio of 2.42 kg (a power-weight ratio of 413 CV per ton). This enables it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.4 seconds and hit a maximum speed of over 325 km/h.
