The system was developed by Automotive Lighting. Engine [ ] The 458 is powered by a 4,499 cc (274.5 cu in) V8 engine of the engine family, producing 570 PS (419 kW; 562 hp) at 9,000 rpm () and 540 N⋅m (398 lb⋅ft) at 6,000 rpm with 80% torque available at 3,250 rpm.

Ferrari 458 Italia (Monaco) The car's suspension features at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear, coupled with and F1-Trac, designed to improve the car's cornering and longitudinal acceleration by 32% when compared with its predecessors. The brakes include a prefill function whereby the pistons in the calipers move the pads into contact with the discs on lift off to minimize delay in the brakes being applied. This combined with the ABS and standard Carbon Ceramic brakes have caused a reduction in stopping distance from 100–0 km/h (62-0 mph) to 32.5 metres (107 ft). Tests have shown the car will stop from 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 90 feet (27 m) or in 85 feet (26 m) with run flat tires, 85 feet (26 m) from 60 mph (97 km/h) and 80 feet (24 m) from 60 mph (97 km/h) with run flat tires.

The adaptive are co-developed with. Performance [ ]. The small aeroelastic winglets generate downforce and, as speed rises, deform to reduce the section of the radiator intake and cut drag. In keeping with Ferrari tradition the body was designed by under the leadership of Donato Coco, the Ferrari design director. The interior design of the Ferrari 458 Italia was designed by Bertrand Rapatel (Director of Ferrari Interior Design), a French automobile designer. The car's exterior styling and features were designed for aerodynamic efficiency, producing a of 140 kg (309 lb) at 200 kilometres per hour (120 mph).

The car's interior was designed using input from former Ferrari Formula 1 driver; in a layout common to racing cars, the new steering wheel incorporates many controls normally located on the dashboard or on stalks, such as turning signals or high beams. According to British car magazine, the 458 Italia's design has drawn inspiration from the Enzo Ferrari and its concept car. It has been designed to be Ferrari's sportiest V8-engined car, to distinguish itself from the recently launched. The 458 was also reviewed on the 15th season of, where it received acclaim for its styling and performance. In a drag race against, it won by a considerable margin.

The car also lapped the Top Gear test track in 1:19.1, just 0.1 seconds slower than the Ferrari Enzo. Variants [ ] 458 Italia (2009–2015) [ ] The 458 Italia is the two-seat 458.

Electronic systems were updated too, introducing side slip angle control (SSC) to improve car control on the limit.

SSC performs instant-to-instant analysis of the car’s side slip, comparing it with the target value and then optimising both torque management (via integration with F1-Trac traction control) and torque distribution between the two wheels (via integration with the E-Diff electronic differential). The weight/power ratio (1,290 kg dry, 1,395 kg at the kerb, 90 less than the standard 458) is equal to 2.13 kg/cv, sprints from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just three seconds (0–125 mph or 0–200 km/h in 9.1 seconds with a response time of just 0.060 seconds).

A spokesman commented that the problem had been traced to used in the wheel-arch assemblies and that, in certain circumstances, the glue could begin to overheat, smoke and even catch fire. In extreme cases the melting adhesive could lead to the heat shield deforming, and hence moving closer to the exhaust, causing the wheel-arch lining to catch fire. Owners who had reported fires, that were later confirmed by independent engineers to be due to this problem, will now receive a new car.

All other cars will be modified replacing the adhesive with mechanical fasteners. Engine seizure [ ] In 2012, Ferrari recalled certain 2011 and 2012 cars because the engine can seize suddenly and possibly cause a crash. The F136 engines have crankshafts that were machined incorrectly.

The official website for the distribution of Ferrari service information in the US is This website is Ferrari's distribution point for service info as a member of the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF). So far they have not released the 458 info yet as far as I can see and I am not sure what the timing would be. As an interesting side note.

Passed a law specifically requiring auto manufacturers to release service data beyond their own dealer networks, this might force a faster release than the voluntary release under the NASTF - and it includes access to tools too. 'Specifically, the agreement would: Mandate that car companies immediately make available to the independent vehicle repair industry the same tools, software and repair information that they make available to the franchised dealers. Require that, beginning in model year 2018, car companies maintain all of their software and service information in an electronic database that is available to consumers and independent service facilities on a subscription basis. Further, car companies would need to provide access to their diagnostic and repair software through a standardized interface that will mean reduced capital costs for independent repairers and that they will access to the most up-to-date tools that are now often only available to franchised dealer technicians.'

Federal government already mandates almost all of this. You can already purchase the tools and the technical documentation from Ferrari, or any other manufacturer. The bill does not state there is a cost requirement so I see no change for an independent as they are welcome to puchase equipment, technical information, tools now. The manufacturers do not provide these items free for dealerships. SD3= $20k plus DEIS=$30k Subscription for the technical documentation and the license agreements on the diagnostic equipment is $1,000 a quarter plus the costs for technician training which run $5k-$15k Plus all the special tools that just show up whether you want/need them or not at a huge cost. Once the independents step up to purchase these items there hourly rates will be virtually identical to the dealers just to cover the costs. There are many very qualified independents that already have purchased the equipment and there costs are in line with the dealers.

None of which is available for a McLaren! Even the paint codes are n.a.

Almost all manufacturers are compliant with the need to make info and tools available. It does come at a considerable cost and investment even for mundane Toyotas. The difference is that the volume allows for pirated copies to become available, plus information in Alldata, etc., etc. Won't happen with the small volume cars, plus many now are scanned and programmed directly via a factory connection.

Body/frame repairs have been frowned upon for the last few years since the advent of 360/430s and are suggested done at approved facilities. My guess is that relevent info to those repairs is still harder to come.
