Designed by Pininfarina, its dramatic styling combined elegant Italian proportions with aerodynamic solutions developed through Ferrari’s extensive motorsport experience.Power came from a naturally aspirated 4.5-litre, 90-degree V8 mounted behind the cockpit. Producing 570 hp at 9,000 rpm and 540 Nm of torque, it was paired with a seven-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels. Ferrari quoted a 0–100 km/h time of under 3.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 325 km/h.The 458 Italia was particularly significant for its high-revving V8, rapid-shifting transmission and advanced electronic systems, including E-Diff and F1-Trac.
