Todo sobre Autos
Como el Ferrari California, el 458 Italia recibe una transmisión de siete velocidades con doble embrague que dirige la potencia a las ruedas posteriores. Ferrari ha trabajado mucho para reducir la fricción interna del V8, así como para refinarlo aerodinámicamente para reducir el coeficiente de 'drag'. Como resultado, el Ferrari 458 Italia reporta un mejorado consumo de gasolina combinado de 17.1 millas por galón (US). A pesar de los rumores de que se integraría el sistema hibrido KERS en este modelo, la fábrica italiana no ha dicho una sola palabra sobre el tema.

Como su predecesor, el Ferrari Italia cuenta con una estructura de aluminio que ayuda a mantener un peso razonable (3,042 libras). El nuevo Ferrari acelera de 0 ¿ 62 mph (100 km/h) en 3.4 segundos y será el primer Ferrari producido en masa que sobrepasara la barrera de las 200 mph (320 km/h), alcanzando una velocidad final de 202 mph (323.2 km/h).
En cuanto al precio...tendremos que esperar hasta el Frankfurt Motor Show en setiembre para saberlo.
PRESS RELEASE
The 458 Italia is the latest incarnation of the mid-rear engined berlinetta and will be unveiled at the next Frankfurt Motor Show.
Maranello, July 28th 2009 - While it's true that every Ferrari is innovative by definition, it's equally true that in the course of the Prancing Horse's history, certain cars have marked a genuine departure from the current range. This is very much the case with the Ferrari 458 Italia, which is a massive leap forward from the company's previous mid-rear engined sports cars.
The new model is a synthesis of style, creative flair, passion and cutting-edge technology, characteristics for which Italy as a nation is well-known. For this reason Ferrari chose to add the name of its homeland to the traditional figure representing the displacement and number of cylinders.
The Ferrari 458 Italia is a completely new car from every point of view: engine, design, aerodynamics, handling, instrumentation and ergonomics, just to name a few.
A two-seater berlinetta, the Ferrari 458 Italia, as is now traditional for all Ferrari's road-going cars, benefits hugely from the company's Formula 1 experience. This is particularly evident in the speed and precision with which the car responds to driver inputs and in the attention focused on reducing internal friction in the engine for lower fuel consumption than the F430, despite the fact that both overall displacement and power have increased. However, Ferrari's track experience makes its presence felt in the 458 Italia not only in terms of pure technological transfer but also on a more emotional level, because of the strong emphasis on creating an almost symbiotic relationship between driver and car. The 458 Italia features an innovative driving environment with a new kind of steering wheel and dashboard that is the direct result of racing practice. Once again input from Michael Schumacher - who was involved from the very start of the 458 Italia project - played an invaluable part.
