General Description

The Ferrari 458 Italia, unveiled amidst much fanfare at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, wasn't just
another iteration in Ferrari's lineup; it represented a significant leap forward in performance and
technology from its predecessor, the F430, incorporating techniques developed from the
company’s experience in Formula 1.

Crafted under the watchful eye of Donato Coco and the skilled hands of Pininfarina, the 458's
exterior was a careful blend of aerodynamic efficiency and aesthetic appeal. Its sleek lines and
purposeful curves weren't just for show; they were honed in wind tunnels, meticulously shaped to
slice through the air with minimal resistance, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.

Beneath its sculpted bonnet lurked the formidable 4.5-litre V8 engine, a member of the revered
F136 family, churning out 562 hp at a staggering 9,000 rpm. With 540 Nm of torque on tap, this
power plant, equipped with fuel injection, was mated to a groundbreaking 7-speed dual-clutch
automatic gearbox by Getrag, ensuring lightning-fast gear changes.

But power is nothing without control, and Ferrari left no stone unturned in ensuring the 458's
dynamic prowess. Its suspension, featuring double wishbones at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear, combined with advanced electronic aids like E-Diff and F1-Trac traction control, delivered a level of agility and cornering precision that set new benchmarks in its class.

The 458's aerodynamic expertise wasn't just skin-deep; it was ingrained in every aspect of its
design. From the deployable winglets in the front grille to the subtle contours that guided airflow
around the car, every detail was honed to maximise stability and downforce, enabling the 458 to
stick to the road like glue even at blistering speeds. All in all, the 458 was truly a force to be
reckoned with, on both road and track.

Inside the cockpit, drivers were treated to a blend of luxury and functionality. Bertrand Rapatel's
interior design, influenced by input from racing legend Michael Schumacher, featured a driver-
centric layout with controls intuitively placed for maximum convenience and focus. It was a driver’s car through and through, created in an era when purebred performance and unbridled passion ruled the roads.

Over the years, the 458 lineage expanded to include variants like the Spider, Speciale, and
Speciale Aperta, each pushing the boundaries of performance and exclusivity. Awards and
accolades, including ‘Car of the Year 2009’ and ‘Supercar of the Year’ underscored its impact on
the automotive world, and it remains a coveted icon today, revered for its performance,
engineering, ingenuity and timeless design.

About this specific vehicle

With its black over black colour way, this Ferrari 458 Italia’s commanding presence on the road isn’t just because of the 8-cylinder petrol engine that’s under the bonnet. With looks as fierce as its performance, this 2010 model, dressed in a striking Nero exterior complementing its Nero Daytona interior, is an Italian masterpiece in the metal. Completing the ensemble are the 20” forged painted rims, seamlessly blending style and performance for an unrivalled driving experience.

As the powerful V8 provides thrilling performance and precise handling on every drive, the direct fuel injection enhances engine performance and efficiency, resulting in improved power output, fuel economy, and reduced emissions - a first of its kind for Ferrari’s mid-engined setup in its road cars.

Accentuating the dark hues of the cars interior and exterior are touches of colour throughout. The distinctive yellow brake callipers add a touch of flair to the car’s aggressive stance, while the interior is further accentuated by coloured standard stitching in matching yellow (Filo Giallo), adding a subtle yet distinctive touch of style. The rest of the interior is classic yet sophisticated, with carbon fibre accents adorning the central bridge and exterior sill kick. The carbon fiber racing seats not only contribute to the car's performance-oriented aesthetic but also provide exceptional support, hugging your body during exhilarating drives, ensuring a comfortable and secure ride even at high speeds, while the Alcantara Nero headlining upholstery exudes luxury and timeless elegance.

It’s not all about looks for this Italian masterpiece, however, as technological innovation meets driving pleasure with features such as int/ext electrochromic mirrors, a Radionavi system with Bluetooth connectivity, and a Navtrak antitheft system, ensuring both convenience and peace of mind on every journey.
