Ferrari 458 Italia 2010
Ferrari have dominated the automobile world for years. Their cars are top-class sports cars and supercars that set the standard for all to follow. Their pedigree is second to none, and their achievements in the racing world are also legendary. The Ferrari name is synonymous with style, power and performance at the very highest of levels, so it comes as no surprise that they have once again risen the bar in 2010.Enter the Ferrari 458 Italia for 2010. This new Ferrari will replace the older F430 and certainly has big boots to fill. The F430 was one of the best cars on the market and definitely one of the best Ferrari had produced.Styled to look similar to the F430, that recognisable rear is back, and gives the Ferrari an intimidating look that suits it so well. The smooth, curvaceous lines from both the front and the back that overlap in the middle scream elegance and that low front end gives just a tiny hint of the speed at which this Ferrari can fly. The whole car seamlessly flows from one end to another and can be considered one of the best looking cars on the market.The interior is also a work of art. The sporty steering wheel and minimalist design don’t detract from what is a luxurious cockpit. The black leather and silver finish is smart and attractive and combines well with the more extravagant exterior.Ferrari opt to go, once more, with a mid mounted engine, for that combination of perfect drive and balance. The 458 is powered by a V-8 4.5 litre engine that can muster up to 570bhp. This car can really fly. The handling is as amazing as we are used to with Ferrari and the drive is comfortable all day long.The car is pushed forward by its rear-wheel drive and is available as a coupe. It will be equipped with a seven-speed automated manual transmission that increases responsiveness and heightens the excellence of the drive even further.Safety features such as ABS and front airbags are standard. Also included is stability and traction control. The car is perhaps missing a few of the modern amenities found in cars of today’s era, but you don’t buy a Ferrari to listen to music, you buy it to listen to the engine roaring as you tear up the concrete.The 458 Italia is another winner from Ferrari. To own a Ferrari is to own a car made by the very best in car manufacture. For those that can afford it, this car offers luxury, power, style and performance at the very top end of the market. The handling is perfection and the speed is remarkable considering it has only eight cylinders on the engine.It is not certain if this car is a worthy replacement of the quite staggeringly brilliant F430, but if the numbers and specifications are anything to go by, this car will be brilliant as well. For those wanting a raw, untamed and exhilarating drive, this car should deliver on all fronts. Ferrari have always produced cars that impress and it is no different here.
