Want the latest from Ferrari? Here it is, the all new Ferrari 458 Italia. This super car was intended as a replacement for the F430. Having a mid rear engine, the Italia will be powered by an all-new 4.5-liter direct-injection V8 that yields 570HP at 9,000 rpm and 398.2 lb-ft of torque (540Nm) at 6,000 rpm. Based on a car review, around eighty percent of this torque is available at a low 3,250 rpm.

Aside from these dazzling engine enhancements, the Italia has also been a project dictated by aerodynamic efficiency. Its aluminum frame and structure keeps weight under control. It only weighs around 3,000 pounds and claimed by Ferrari to generate 309 lbs (140kg) of down force at 124mph.

Moreover, its new V8 engine is equipped with its seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that channels power to the rear-wheels. This has been the highest output per liter in the history of the company’s production. The engine and transmission system triggers the super car from 0 to 62mph in less than 3.4 seconds and to a maximum speed of more than 202mph. This will be the first volume production Ferrari V8 to top the 200 mph barrier.

Another addition to this newest sensation is the so called “pre-fill function” as being described by the company itself. This is a feature of the Italia’s braking system whereby the pistons in the calipers shift the pads into contact with the discs on lift off to reduce delay in the brakes being applied. This results in a braking distance of a mere 106 feet from 62mph to a standstill.

Amazing isn’t it? Well, to know more about the Italia, you can watch some auto shows on different states in the country this November. It would really be nice to see this car which defies speed and gravity and uplifts Ferrari to another level.
