Ferrari 458

Coupe 4.5 Italia dct

Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 line has remained the brand’s best-selling vehicle since the debut of the line in 1975. With each new generation, the cars would get faster, easier to use, and usually more reliable, but few were truly revolutionary. The introduction of the 458 Italia represents probably the single largest leap forward for the mid-engine V8 Ferrari since the line’s introduction. First shown at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 458 introduced a smoother design language that progressively found its way into all of Ferrari’s models and featured lots of aerodynamic trickery to help the car cut through the air. Ferrari wasn’t talking about it at the time, but the 458 ended up being the brand’s final naturally aspirated mid-engine normal production road car. This engine was backed up by a stout Getrag 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that offered seamless shifting and was far more pleasant in daily use than the brand’s prior F1 transmission.

This 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia is finished in Nero over Nero leather and has been under the care of 2 owners from new. The black paint looks stunning on the 458’s bodywork and especially when paired with the 19” 5-spoke wheels in graphite gray seen on this example. Behind those wheels sits a set of massive Carbon Ceramic brakes, with yellow calipers that draw your eye - and also pick up the Scuderia Shields on the front fenders. In the rear, a deep diffuser painted in gray aids in high-speed stability, and a trio of center-exit exhaust pay homage to the Ferrari F40.

Even with all of the advancements in powertrain, suspension, and design, perhaps the largest change was carried out on the 458’s interior. Designed with Michael Schumacher’s input, the interior of a 458 is a very driver-focused affair with nearly every control you need affixed to the steering wheel. A pair of color displays are integrated into the gauge cluster that will show speed, and navigation or give real-time information about the state of the car’s mechanical systems. A large tachometer in the center commands the driver’s attention with an exciting 9,000 rpm redline.

Powering the 458 is Ferrari’s now famous F136 flat plane crankshaft V8. Thanks to a special direct fuel injection system and variable intake runners, this motor is far more tractable around town than many prior Ferrari V8s. It produces 80% of its 398 lb-ft of torque at just 3,250 rpm. That said, maximum power is still right at the 9,000 rpm redline. This gives the car the ability to run from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of over 320 km/h. When you look at the selection of buttons and switches on the steering wheel, the most inconspicuous of them all is a small black button with a shock absorber graphic on it. Equipped with a set of advanced magnetic shock absorbers, at the push of a button, the car can go from stiff track-focused shock tuning to smooth touring suspension that would put many non-supercars to shame.

There is frequent debate amongst enthusiasts about future classic cars. Everybody has different thoughts on the matter, but one car that most people can agree on is the 458 Italia. Thanks to its stunning design, outstanding usability and its standing as the final naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari, the 458 will go down in Ferrari history as one of the brand’s most beloved cars.
