Ferrari 458 Italia
The Ferrari 458 Italia is a completely new car from every point of view: engine, design, aerodynamics, handling, instrumentation, and ergonomics. The new 4499 cc V8 is the first Ferrari direct injection engine to be mid-rear mounted, the engine delivers 570 hp at 9000 rpm, maximum torque is 540 Nm at 6000 rpm. The 458 Italia is equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission which increases performance while providing very smooth shifts, even at full throttle. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is in less than 3.4 seconds, top speed is more than 325 km/h. as with every Ferrari, the car's styling has been very heavily influenced by the requirements for aerodynamic efficiency, this can be seen from the downforce of 140 kg at 200 km/hr generated by the new 458.
