The Way i Go

The new 4.5-liter V8 features direct injection and cranks out 570 horsepower at 9,000 rpm (a class-leading 127 horsepower per liter), while torque is rated at 420 lb-ft. at 6,000 rpm. Ferrari says that 80 percent of the 458 Italia’s torque is available from 3,250 rpm.

A seven-speed dual clutch transmission will be standard, helping the 458 Italia hit 62 mph in under 3.4 seconds before topping out at just over 201 miles per hour.

Emissions are down, too, Ferrari says. The 458 Italia produces 320 g/km of CO2 and uses fuel at a rate of 17 mpg, which Ferrari claims is the best in its segment.

Inside, the 458 Italia has a new layout that puts all of the primary controls on the steering wheel. Ferrari hasn’t released interior photography.
