458 [2009-2015] [Official] Ferrari 458 Italia


The Ferrari 458 Italia (Type F142) is an Italian mid-engine sports car produced by Ferrari. The 458 is the successor of the F430, and was first officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was succeeded by the 488 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) in 2015.
For all Ferrari haters who doubt 458 Italia performance (customer cars):

458 vs Ariel Atom Turbo (400hp). Very impressive showing for 458 again.

I think this is not the first proof that Ferrari customer cars perform as well as press cars. For instance, VBOX results from Lambopower in 2011 already with 60-130 mph in 7,7s (= 100-200 km/h in 6,5s) with a brand new car with only 400 km on it, VBOX video from german autobahn with 200-250 km/h in 6,0s among many others. I have also seen a customer 458 doing 100-200 km/h in 7s, significantly uphill, shortshifting at 7000rpm with 2 persons onboard.

But, haters will still hate. :cool:

Looking forward to 458 "Scuderia". This will be a beast, for sure.

^You would take that passionless piece of cold metal over this Italian thoroughbred?

Thats amazing to me..:D
 
That is how the 458 Italia should have come stock. IMO sounds even better than Akrapovic.

It is surprising to hear Simon struggling to 'love' the 458 because he has nothing but the utmost praise for the 458 from all the long term reports.
 
Having read his previous long term reports, it seems he struggled to love 458 from day one despite being very impressed with it. Maybe he likes analogue supercars better?
