In 1973 Ferrari introduced the first of a long line of V8 road cars. This initial model was called a Dino, after Ferrari’s late son. The Dino 308GT4 was the precursor of the newest Ferrari the 458 Italia.

Ferrari has a long history of naming automobile models for various features of the particular car. Sometimes it related to the cubic centimeter power of a single cylinder and other times to the seating capacity.

The 458 Italia derives its study both from its displacement of 4.499 liters rounded to 4.5 and its engine being a V8. The study differs a little from the last two models the 360 and 430 which both reflected a 3.6 litre and 4.3 litre engine.

This latest version is truly a masterpiece. Just examine some of its specifications. As mentioned, a 4.5 litre engine but this produces 570 horsepower at 9,000 rpm, a speed that would destroy the exemplary automobile engine. 398 lbs/ft torque at 6,000 rpm. Boasting a 12.5 compression ratio this is an awesome engine that will drive the 3,042 sports automobile to 202 miles per hour.

The 458 Italia is designed for owners for whom the antecedency is uncompromising on-road performance with irregular track day capability, but who still demand a automobile that is useable in day-to-day driving like all Ferrari’s recent models. This is according to the September Pilota entrepot produced by the Ferrari Owners Club.

This particular automobile benefits from the company’s Formula One racing experience. It is show in the technological features along with the strong emphasis of an almost symbiotic relation between utility and car.

Some of the technological transfers include a seven speed dual clutch, which provides smooth shifts modify at full throttle. A unique feature for a V8 is threesome side tailpipes. No, don’t ask me how they are connected to the engine. I have to figure this one out myself. New sportier gear ratios have been matured to correct the new higher horsepower and torque curves that this creature produces.
