It’s the new Ferrari!
See more Ferrari 458 Italia pics
Listen to the 458 Italia's manic-revving V8
Today is a good day. Today is your first look at the all-new mid-engined Ferrari, the 458 Italia.
It replaces the F430… and, judging by the numbers, it's going to be simply astonishing.
First, the engine: a new 4.5-litre direct injection V8 putting out – ready for this? – 562bhp. That’s 79bhp more than the current F430, and 52bhp more than the Scuderia.
We’d heard rumours that the F430 replacement might gain turbochargers, but the 458 Italia remains defiantly naturally aspirated – in fact, at 127bhp per litre, Ferrari says it manages the highest specific output of any naturally aspirated engine ever. It’ll rev all the way up to 9,000rpm too, making it the highest-revving Ferrari of all time.
Add in 398lb ft of torque at 6,000rpm – of which 80 per cent is available from 3,250rpm – and you’re looking at a deeply, deeply fast car.
202mph fast, in fact. And a 0-62mph time of ‘less than 3.4 seconds’. That is unbelievably quick: the F430 hits 62mph in four seconds flat, and even the Scud can only manage a three-point-six. In fact, it’s even faster than an Enzo.
It won’t just be a straight-line monster, either: integrated and remapped versions of the F430’s differential and traction control systems which give the 458 32 per cent more longitudinal acceleration out of corners than its predecessor.
Oh, and see those black winglets on the grille, just under the nose? They’re slightly elastic, and deform downwards at speed to generate downforce, improve aerodynamics and cut drag. The 458, says Ferrari, will generate 140kg of downforce at 124mph. On a track, obviously.
Ferrari has ditched the F430’s F1-derived gearbox in favour of a revised version of the California’s seven-speed dual clutch transmission. Like the rest of the 458, it’ll be blisteringly fast, nailing shifts even quicker than the Scud’s six-millisecond changes.
It’s also good news for economy and emissions (yes, we know that’s the stuff you’re really concerned with here). The 458 will manage a heady 20.7mpg – which is actually pretty respectable in supercar world – and return 320g/km of CO2.
All of that, and we haven’t even talked about the looks. Which is where you lot come in. What do you reckon? A future classic?
Now watch Jeremy thrash the Ferrari F430:

I reckon the triple exhaust might be over the top.. 2 would be sufficient ^^ Front end looks mean, I like it! Side looks like an enzo when you first see it, not a bad thing. Overall nice not sure about the rear tho, it's more agressive then style, and I tought Ferrari was all about style and flaire.

I must say I really like it, the looks are fine, very clean and quite original. And the numbers are almost unbelievable. Looking forward to see Jezza in it :) Ferrari engineers are just from different planet though...

Looks good from the front end, sleek and feline without over fussy details. That's a trait I'm glad they carried over from its predecessor. Side is a little over styled for my taste, but looks good enough to carry it off I reckon. The rear is a bit of a mess if you ask me though, could do with a second set of upper lights as that would balance out those big black grills better. Overall I like it, its better looking than I would have expected given Ferrari's recent styling direction.

Can't wait to hear that V8 at 9000!!! Looks fantastic too, much better than the F430 or 360 for that matter.

The numbers are truly staggering, that 127 bhp per litre is mind boggling! But when I clicked the link I didn't know the number I just saw a beautiful car. It really just looks like a proper Ferrari, sleek and sexy, stylish and not overly aggressive, but at the same time it looks fast when it's parked! The rear end is not as good as the front at all though which is a bit disappointing but I think the triple pipes make up for it as they are just so different to whatever else is out there.

Think I will stick with my 360 CS. The 430 was great but this I think is a step too far in the styling stakes. Doesnt look like a Ferrari, it looks like something out of a futuristic fantasy film. Ferrari is losing the passion and focusing more on technology. Artists are turing into geeks which is not the Ferrari everyone has grown to love and dream of. People will buy that because "Its the new Ferrari" So not a fan of the styling but I love the numbers. Atleast they make it slightly more acceptable...but not by much!

First off, I'm a big fan of Ferrari, always have been... but this from the side, in my opinion, looks like an Enzo - and that's not a very good-looking car, I must admit... and I really don't like those rear lights that stick out, and never have actually - not on the F430, not on the Enzo, or the 599 or the California. The triple exhaust though looks awesome and original, like it did on the F40... Performance figures are simply amazing, but it's not a good-looking car - and Ferrari's should be

Whilst I think it looks stunning, and th performance is staggering, I cannot help but think that in the real world, on real roads, the Calafornia is simply the better car to buy, its more usable, and given our roads are so crowded you can only ever go as fast as the van infront, just as quick on a sunday drive.

Best looking car since the F355. I like Ferraris with targa tops - can the world see more of that please? All the numbers are really amazing, but I'd like to spoil the mood a bit and say, it's unobtainable and not a single one of you commenting on it will ever get near one without being arrested for tresspassing. When I saw the picture on the homepage I thought "oh, a new Dino, almost obtainable ten years from now" but that is not the case.

Did anyone notice those triple exhaust pipes? Because I just did and it reminds me of the "three tenors" (Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras), so I am pretty damn sure the noise will be very "Italian opera" meaning loud and goose bumps. God I love this car already, it will be a terrific drive and finally a Ferrari that looks good again.

I always thought the Scag would grow on me and it has. I'm hoping the rear end on this car will do likewise - though I'm sure it's very effective at what it does. From every other angle I'd say this is the prettiest Ferrari since the 355

How has Ferrari's styling got worse? This is not progress, 40 or 10 years ago ferraris looked brilliant, and now they look awful. Even the, very ugly, 612 looks great compared to this thing.

Looks better and cleaner then the 430, which is good. The headlights look a little too extreme perhaps? Still, I would prefer the 599 =P, but its not in the same class so forget that I ever mentioned that...

I like the way this car looks... it not as striking as something like a Lamborghini, but it seems better because of it. On the first photo, the back end looks like it was going to be horrible. I looked at the other photos though and it all just seems to flow nicely

the front in my opinion is rubbish.(excluding the winglets) . the back is comparitively better. the side is the only part that really catches the eye. but it just doesn't look like a Ferrari, unlike the 430 or the enzo. but judging by the specs it definitely beats the new gallardo lp560.

Not to my taste. It reminds me of the RX8 for some reason and I don't think that's something to aspire to if you're a Ferrari. And those terrible headlights they've got these days. They look like ladies' fake fingernails. It'll go like stink of course, and 127 hp/l in a streetcar is a mayor landmark. But supercars like these should make me drool and it doesn't. But then I'm not to Ferrari's taste in customers: the poor, not-buying-anything kind.

WoW first Ferrari I looked at that actually gave me goosebumps and made me want to drag it into the bedroom with the wife watching for tips.

It looks better from the side. From the front, it looks like a shady chav who plays video games and seeks a quick hump with a grin that no one likes. It almost looks like a floating alien pod too. The numbers and tech are definitely otherworldy, but the look of the car will need ALOT of time to grow on into. I'd have the california then. This is too evil. Reminds me of the skinny alien in monsters vs alien. Suspicious but weak.

I can't believe how old it makes the 360 and 430 look! Though what I like most about the way it looks is how every 'styling' detail seems to be motivated by function. Apart from the triple exhaust pipes, I think it looks the way it does because of aerodynamic constraints. Reminds me of last year's F1 cars before they banned the flicks and flip-ups they used to have on the upper body. I also like how most of the switches are distributed around the steering wheel. Better approach than crowding them all onto the centre-console and dash like you'd find in a 'normal car' I think.

LOVE IT!!! I love the retro triple exhaust, reminds me of the old F40 : ) And I dont know about anyone else, but doesn't it look like a McLaren F1 from the side? The 5-spoke alloys are nice as well

LOVE IT! The triple exhaust reminds me of the old F40. And is it me, or does the side view look like a McLaren F1? The 5-spoke alloys look very nice too. I like the way the ferrari styling is going, but as everyone else has said, i would rather have the lambo LP560-4 Spyder. Much more of a striking car : )

Amazing! the front is perfect, evil yet beautiful. And the back with the F40 style 3 exhausts, although the back grille is average. Makes the predecessors look ugly, bar the 355!

I can't help but think if you took the Ferrari badges off this car, and put it next to a DBS, LP560 and other competitors, most people would think its just a conservative lotus. Its so conservative and bland and boring, sure the 599 and California aren't for everyone, I'm not a big fan of either, but at least they have some styling flair with lines, and curves. This to me just looks like a sleeker Lotus Evora. Sure as hell, if you put it next to a DBS or LP560 I know it would'nt be my choice.

Well, you can complain about the engineering in modern ferraris, so I suppose the only thing we can judge it by are the looks: definately better than the 430, infact I rather like it. it's not too flash; not too vulgar but rather understated and the design is rather old fashioned; those soft curvy lines are reminiscent of the ferraris of old. now that, is an interesting combo; thats my kind of ferrari.

Partially agree with Adri though I'd go further than just taking the badge off. I'd put a Honda 'H' in its place to see how different it would look to the NSX concept in the link I've posted. On another note, anyone else noticed where the engine air-intake has been moved to? Just ahead of the C-Pillar; Ingenious! I've also heard a rumour that all 3 exhaust pipes work although apparently it's an active system and the outer two are only activated at high throttle-angles. Confirm? Deny? http://www.motorcities.com/media/image/full/05GC0561621993A/2007-Acura-NSX-Replacement-Based-on-the-HSC-Concept-Car-A.jpeg

I thought Lambo Gallardo LP560-4 was extraordinarily beautiful. But this..., this is entirely a whole new level! Never before I feel so excited just by seeing pictures of a car.

Of the modern age (360 onwards), I'd say that's the 2nd best looking Ferrari (430 spider is #1).

Fugly... The proportions are good and the front end will probably grow on me?. but what?s that rear end detailing all about?! Looks like a buck-toothed storm-trooper! Also those Bangleoid ?flame-sided? creases are now simply derivative and uninspired. Finally, I?m not sure why they think that those kebab-stick rear lights are aesthetically pleasing. I as much as anybody wish Ferrari would make beautiful cars again? but I?m afraid this is only a 4 out of 10 ? must try harder.

Heeeey, I just notice that there's Pinifarina emblem etched on the side just before the rear wheel arch. THAT explains the futuristic out of the ordinary styling!

I like it a lot. I love that Ferrari horse accent on the grille. There's the Zagato-like swoop along the rear flank and I'm quite taken by how they've mirrored the front grille area at the rear as well. The only thing I'm not quite sure about is the three exhaust exits. It'll be another fake trumpet and on an otherwise classy looking car, it looks a bit vulgar and chavvy.

well, after the F355 and F430, this looks brilliant, and i agree with lambo_lover and p2nkzsb it has a bit of mclaren F1's looks!!! and that's the only problem!!!! the F1 was and still is the best super car ever!!! in my opinion, even with all its imperfections. the design is just stunning and it will be forever. It changed car design forever, just look at the koenigsegg ccx !!!! so for ferrari or anyone to try and dare to attempt to make car that looks better the F1 is courageous, but it hasn't happended. sorry ferrari,maybe next time!!! keep trying.

Fantastic looking car... almost looks as good as a Gallardo! (my favourite looking car in the world!) :-) Fantastic looking stats on it too!!!! Next time Ronaldo wants to write off a Fezza, I'll tell him to get a 458, and just give it to me, rather than bust it up!

Not a proper looking ferrari... I'd much rather have the F430 or maybe even better a 355/360 than this one. Yes, 127 bhp per litre is a lot for a naturally aspirated, but come on... Honda did 120 bhp per litre with the S2000 which is 10 years old or so. It might be the highest for NA engines, but I'm not really impressed. This one sounds like it wants to have a 6 litre aston v12 instead of that 4,5 litre v8. It's not a ferrari sound. And the looks... No, no, no. Any day I'd take a 911 over this. I think there are about two ferraris that I would be really tempted to get if I had the money to buy and maintain them. The 512 Testarossa because it's a classic and one of the most well known ferraris ever and the F40 because it's as mental as ferrari's of now should be. Looks like a rocket and drives like one. If you can't handle it, don't get in it. Apart from those two I cannot come to think of a single ferrari who in my mind wouldn't be outclassed by at least one car of the same age.

While a lot of the competition is resorting to smaller capacity turbocharged engines, Ferrari comes with a bigger capacity, crazy revving 9000rpm engine that will scream the eardrums out of passing hypocritical, sandal wearing ecoextremists. There is only nation in the world that gets wawy with it.....the Italians! And on that fact alone we petrolheads must all love this car! Jeremy will buy it, I am sure!

they cannot get rid of the F430 for this piece of garbage. it has no look of passion infact i would go as far as to say it looks awful. what it is, is someone has driven into the enzo and the f430 to create the front and reversed into the california to create the back. and the interior looks like a homebase bodge job.

The 458 sports the same problem as the California. it looks like Ferrari took 3 designers & told #1 to do the front, #2 to do the sides & #3 to do the backend of a midengined v8-sportscar of what they think, should be a future ferrari, but they each weren't told there were 2 others doing the rest of the car. And finally designer #4 had the sh*t job to do a mash up of the 3 parts. It's the 2nd Ferrari in a row that looks like crap & if they continue that way, Ferrari's gonna be in the deep sooner or later.

how i grown to love ferrari is because of their straight line. a line that show strength. i want a solid answer, not a fat curvy porche, i want that perfection, lamborghini comes very close but a bit too shiny for me. ferrari has played both curve and straight line. my analysis says as long they make curve that form a straight line thats when ferrari sales goes up. thats how f40, testarosa, f355 become high seller. it represent a young gentleman. ferrari has always been over priced compare to porche but i over look it because the design of f40, testarosa, 308 and 355 ... is as close as a woman can be in the of a man. enzo and this car is an example of over priced ferrari that try to be monalisa but failed to do so. i just don't have the confidence to look the corvette, mustang or dodge viper guy in the eye with this car. ps: thumbs up to ferrari's engineer.

Looks acceptable, like the rear end. But compared to an LP560 it is not as striking. On the whole stunning car though, should perform with a bigger engine. Just enough to steal the lime light of the Gallardo. ww.youtube.com/HazaGTR
