We read About Ferrari 458 Italia at www.autosea.it. The successor to the F430 supercar is a bold, almost in the style by Pininfarina: marks the return of the great "mouth" on the front, but also dares ultra-modern elements, such as LED headlights in the form of "scimitar", the grille divided in half by two large air intakes, the roof line and curved cutting edge, the three outlets from the center of the back. Development and development has worked Michael Schumacher, who has followed step by step the car in all its evolution: the aluminum frame, for example, has been settled with the techniques used by the aerospace industry.
The weight is: only 1,380 kilograms. Than the F430 mechanics is fundamentally changed: the direct-injection V8 mounted mid-rear has a larger displacement (4.5 liters versus 4.3) and triggers our 570 hp, 80 more than the previous model, with a maximum torque of 540 nm at 6,000 rpm. Translated into performance means a top speed of 325 km per hour with acceleration "0-100" in 3.4 seconds.
Even the suspension layout has undergone major updates: both the front double wishbone and rear multilink both have been redesigned to meet the highest performance of the Ferrari 458 Italy, while other interventions have focused on the steering wheel to make it faster and more direct, control the F1-Trac traction and the E-Diff electronic differential derived from the racing world. But as with all new "red" is a car designed for driving everyday. The change is the robotic F1 dual-clutch seven-speed, optimized for its features. Another benefit is a steering wheel that brings together all the main controls of the car.
