Ferrari 458 Italia specifications
The Ferrari 458 Italia, valued at around one million zlotys, is a sports car with a mid-mounted engine produced between 2009 and 2015. It features a 4.5-liter V8 engine delivering approximately 570 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of around 325 km/h.
The vehicle’s construction includes a lightweight aluminum body and advanced aerodynamics developed in collaboration with Ferrari F1, featuring active airflow management elements. Standard equipment includes carbon-ceramic brake discs and systems like E-Diff and F1-Trac for traction and stability control, adjustable via the iconic manettino steering wheel switch. The interior combines racing-inspired elements with practical features, such as a central tachometer and steering wheel-mounted controls.
Variants of the 458 include the Spider (convertible) and track-focused Speciale and Speciale A models. The 458 Italia is considered the last Ferrari with a high-revving, naturally aspirated V8 before the introduction of turbocharged models.
