0-200 km/h in 9,6 s
0-250 km/h in 13,5 s

1km: 19.548 sec @ 276.41 km/h

I get goosebumps thinking about 458 vs MP4/12c.

It's another one of those epic battles.

AWD vs RWD
Manual vs DCT

and now N/A vs FI.

Amazing automobile. Ferrari has raised the bar so high of late that frankly, nothing comes close. It's great to see such a revered brand continue to thrive and improve while remaining true to its core strengths and heritage. Remarkable accomplishment in today's world.

As much as I am in awe in front of such level of performance, just like I couldn't like the Enzo, I still cannot get used to the look of this car. 599 (GTO) is the king for me.

It only took 18 years to make this type of performance somewhat "afordable"

The 458 is simply amazing!

The McLaren weights 1,140 kg curb (1,380 kg for the 458) ... if Ferrari manage to take of ~150 kg with the Scuderia version the 458 should be on par with the F1, at least until they reach 250km/h

I think 1380kg is the dry weight for the Italia, the weight on this test was in fact 1530kg, making the performance even more amazing. I recall the curb of Mac F1 being 1138kg like you said.

1380 is dry weight, you are correct

Woowwwwwwwwww, this car easily EATS any supercar currently on the market.It destroys SLS but i think it is not fair to compare SLS to this monster.SLS performed better than i expected.It is as fast as a Turbo PDK on the track and faster than R8 V10.

Is here a French member ?

There is a supertest featuring 458 and LP570 in current Motorsport mag, I accidentally noticed.

 

[CarGuy]

Yeah the only car right now that can give it a serious challenge is probably a Turbo PDK
