Ходовые характеристики
«Феррари 458» (Италия) — не только красивая и быстрая машина, но и великолепно управляемый суперкар. В повороты эта модель входит моментально, быстро поворачивает, чутко реагируя на любое движение рулем, движется плавно, скорость набирается мгновенно, правда, почти не ощущается. У автомобиля отличная тормозная система, состоящая из 8-поршневых суппортов и вентилируемых дисков из керамики и карбона. Плюс ко всему, эта машина оснащена высокопроизводительной АБС. На скорости сто километров в час автомобиль способен остановиться на 32,5 метра. Этого удалось добиться и за счет снижения веса машины — ее вес составляет чуть более 1300 килограммов.
В общем, эта модель стала очередным совершенством итальянского концерна. Благодаря этой машине компания удерживает место в первых строчках рейтинга лучших производителей суперкаров. Ведь эта модель создана для тех людей, которые ценят абсолютно бескомпромиссное поведение автомобилей на дороге и спортивные, агрессивные черты в управлении автомобилем. И, конечно же, просто для состоятельных людей, любящих красивые, стильные и комфортные суперкары.
Версия с открытым верхом
Стоит отметить модификацию обсуждаемой модели, известную как «Феррари 458 Спайдер». Эта версия имеет открытый верх. Он был представлен публике во Франкфурте в сентябре 2011 года. Автолюбители были вышиштены родстером с элегантной и гранкой внешности, выделкой еще эффектнее, чем у версии в кузове купе.
Эта вариация «Феррари 458», фото которой представлено ниже, отличается от своего предшественника наличием алюминиевой крыши и улучшенной аэродинамикой. Он сконструирован таким образом, что даже при скорости 200 км/ч в салон проникает минимум посторонних шумов.
Также стоит отметить, что родстер менее практичен, в отличие от купе. Пространство для сидений не будет использоваться для размещения каких-либо предметов, так как все оно закрыто складной крышей. Но этот нюанс особо не смущает владельцев родстера.
Development
Rapid progress in technology meant that the imminent successor had a goal to surmount the F430 in all aspects and position itself as the quintessential Ferrari V8 sports car for the next decade.
During the F430’s production span, the market’s appetites have changed so much that the car replacing it needed to be radically different, more engaging to drive and more exciting to look at.

Traditionally, Ferrari looked for a new design at Pininfarina while refining the proven mid-mounted V8 formula in-house. The new daring looks were executed by studio Pininfarina and Donato Coco, an ex-Citroën designer who recently left Ferrari to become a chief designer at Lotus.
Coco penned the flowing body following the assistance from Pininfarina, creating an aerodynamic silhouette with a radically different front fascia and side profile. Looking at its main character lines, the new car had more to do with flagship cars of the recent past than its direct predecessors, marking the beginning of a new era for V8 Ferraris.
Meanwhile, the engineers in Maranello made sure to raise the bar in every aspect of the new go-to Cavallino, making it amicable for ones buying it as a costly accessory while still catering to customers who knew how to extract every drop of the car’s potential on the tracks.

The 458 Italia debuted at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, and it was instantly clear that it was a big step forward for Ferrari and the whole supercar world. Soon after, the car met universal praise from the motoring media, unanimously calling it the greatest mid-engined V8 Ferrari and a huge leap compared to the F430.
In 2011, the 458 Italia got an open-top version and finally, in 2013, the all-out Ferrari 458 Speciale made it to the market as the ultimate version of the car. The speciale boasted upgrades all-around and was available both as the coupé and the convertible Aperta variant.
Returning to the tradition of naming its mid-engined V8 cars after the displacement, the 458 Italia got its name from a 4.5-liter F136 V8, an increase over the F430’s 4.3-liter powerhouse.
Design, Styling & Interior
Most aspects of the 458’s design are driven primarily by the goal of maximizing aerodynamic efficiency, with each element working in concert with the other. At the front bumper, aeroelastic winglets bend at speed to increase airflow under the car and towards the rear, where a diffuser resides.This harmony of functionality can produce up to 794 lbs of downforce, split 41/59% over the front and rear wheels respectively.
Air apertures in the C-pillar direct air towards the engine and vents above the rear diffuser, which also assist in cooling the transmission and radiators. The final element is a small intake and exit located near the front headlights, which helps to reduce drag.
Ultimately, the 458 has remained one of the finest executions of functionality and form to this day. Its styling cues are decidedly Pininfarina, yet also a complete evolution from the classic Ferrari silhouette at the same time. Perfectly proportioned, timelessly elegant and deliberately streamlined; the Ferrari 458 Italia is the perfect consensus of minimalism, efficiency and capability.
Inside the cabin, you can expect the same marriage of simplicity and sporty personality. The cockpit reflects an intuitively functional layout and thoughtfully ergonomic design. Exposed aluminum panels and trim pieces are a nod to the car’s racing DNA, contrasting the signature use of high quality Italian leather throughout.
The piece that truly brings everything together is the steering wheel. With mounted features such as the Manettino switch, Engine Start, indicator buttons, and shift paddles, drivers have charge of a command center at their fingertips. Convenience features such as infotainment, navigation and a back-up camera, are also available for the car.
Engine and Transmission
The powerhouse of the 458 Italia was an evolution of the F136 V8 named F136 FB.
Ferrari increased the displacement of the longitudinally-mounted all-aluminum 90° V8 to 4.5 liters, extracting 570 horsepower at screaming 9000 RPM and 398 lb-ft torque peaking at 6000 RPM with an excess of 80% of it available from as low as 3250 RPM.

With such a potent V8, the 458 Italia could accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in 3.4 seconds and achieve a top speed of 202 MPH. The 458 Spider had the same power output, albeit a slightly lower top speed of 198 MPH due to a slight weight increase.
For the 458 Speciale, virtuous engineers upped the power of the 4.5-liter F136 V8 to 605 rampant horses at 9,000 RPM and 398 lb-ft of torque, creating the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever built at Maranello. When introduced, the engine codenamed F136 FL became the naturally aspirated V8 with the biggest specific output, 135 horsepower per liter, another groundbreaking feat for the Speciale.
These numbers translated to incredible performance. The 0 to 60 sprint took just 3 seconds, and the 458 Speciale achieved a record lap time at Fiorano at 1:23.5. To put it into perspective, the Ferrari Enzo posted a time of 1:24.90 in 2003. Ten years later, a special version of the V8-powered entry-level Ferrari drove the same circuit faster than the V12-powered flagship. That’s what we call a decade of pure progress!

One of the main reasons for the phenomenal performance of the 458 range was a new-gen transmission, the Getrag dual-clutch F1 gearbox. The 7-speed automatic was the only available unit in both the 458 Italia and the 458 Speciale, enabling lightning-quick gear changes with minimized lag associated with even the most advanced single-clutch automatic gearboxes.
The final drivetrain improvement came in the form of E-Diff 3, an electronic differential that now worked combined with F1-Trac traction control and ABS, optimizing the cornering stability of the 458.

Brakes, Wheels and Tires
Additionally, the major advancement contributing to the 458’s stopping capabilities are Pre-Fill brake calipers, an innovative system activating the pistons as soon as the driver lifts off their foot off the accelerator pedal. That way, the brake pad and the rotor gap are minimized, resulting in radically improved brake response time.
Source: Ferrari
The ABS control systems were calibrated and integrated with the E-Diff 3 electronic differential to achieve these results. Working in unison, the systems precisely estimated the supercar’s speed at any moment, ensuring better torque control and improved vehicle stability during braking.
Besides building the chassis, Alcoa also produced forged aluminum wheels measuring 20×8.5 inches in the front and 20×10.5 inches at the back with Michelin 235/35ZR20 front and 295/35ZR20 rear, respectively. The forging process enabled the lightweight wheels to decrease unladen weight, thus improving the braking, acceleration, and cornering capabilities of the 458.
For the 458 Speciale, Ferrari and Brembo took the braking system to another level, borrowing the technology from the LaFerrari flagship, optimizing it for consistency during the on-track performance and more efficient overall performance. The changes included HT2 discs with a higher percentage of silicon, smaller front HY material pads, and new six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo Extrema Calipers developed and built for the LaFerrari.

Keeping the 458 Speciale firmly on the road even with 1.33 lateral Gs were Michelin Cup 2 measuring 245/35ZR20 in the front and 295/35ZR20 in the back mounted on even lighter Alcoa-produced forged aluminum wheels.
Interior[]
The stylistic choices in the interior developed by Ferrari Centro Stile reflect the functional, ergonomic design of the cockpit. The driver is set in the center of a streamlined, intuitive layout, very much in line with the marque’s signature styling cues. The instrument panel consists of two leather-trimmed shells which outline the clean, overlapping forms from which the central aluminium structure emerges that house the instruments. The styling of the steering wheel underscores a sense of continuity with classic Ferrari styling cues (such as the aluminium central pad), whilst representing at the same time innovation by eliminating the indicator and windscreen wiper stalks and clustering all of the controls on the steering wheel. The center console features a sculptural aluminium casting which houses the F1 gearshift panel and its dynamic controls: the Launch Control button, reverse, and the Auto switch to put the gearbox in automatic mode.

Styling and aerodynamics
Engine
The engine is a dry-sump 90 degree V8 with a displacement of 4499 cc and is mid-rear mounted. It is an entirely new design engineered to reach a maximum of 9,000 rpm – a first on a road car – with a high 12.5:1 compression ratio and maximum power output of 570 CV. This equates to an outstanding power output of 127 CV/litre, a new benchmark for a naturally-aspirated production engine.
Dual-clutch F1 gearbox
Chassis
Suspension
The 458 Italia’s front suspension employs a novel new double wishbone set-up which features an L-shape design for the lower wishbone, with the rearward facing arm longer than the one in line with the wheel axis to provide greater longitudinal flexibility. This in turn improves the car’s ability to absorb bumps and it also reduces suspension noise. Another benefit is in terms of greater transverse rigidity which improves handling. The same characteristics are shared by the new rear multi-link suspension and, combined with specific tyre development, overall vertical rigidity has thus been improved (+35 per cent with respect to the F430) for less body roll, and the engineers were able to introduce a more direct steering ratio (11.9° compared to the F430’s 16.9°, a reduction of 30 per cent) which makes for quicker and more responsive steering on both road and track.

Body
When it came to the looks, the aluminum body of the 458 Italia broke away from the F430’s composed elegance with retro cues and went closer to the sheer tension of the Enzo. The sharper, lower silhouette of the 458 was considerably more organic.
Source: Bonhams
The front end was radically lowered to reduce drag and give the 458 an instantly memorable look. It’s often the car’s face making us fall in love with one, and the car’s designer Donato Coco created a section both beautiful and highly functional.
The semi-exposed tail lights returned, this time as just two units, but the rear end’s true highlight was a three-piece exhaust nested in the middle of the rear diffuser. This feature was a nod to another flagship Ferrari, the legendary F40.
Source: Bonhams
The 458 Italia waved goodbye to a hallmark mid-engined Ferrari feature, the rear-side air ducts. Starting from the Dino 246 all the way to the F430, these functional aerodynamic elements moved from rear flanks to the sill area and primarily served to cool the gearbox and oil radiators.
Source: Bonhams
But, since Ferrari re-engineered the engine compartment and rearranged its internal architecture, the 458 Italia featured a smooth and uninterrupted side profile. Meanwhile, the air ducts were moved behind the engine cover and picked air up from the front, then over the flanks and tops of the wheel arches, and into the rear spoiler, where it cooled the internals while simultaneously increasing rear downforce and reducing drag.
The 458 Speciale brought redesigned and more efficient body panels. The front bumper featured front side turning vanes, followed by fins in front of the rear wheels. Finally, the rear end was redesigned with an integrated rear spoiler and larger diffuser with a more traditional-looking twin-tip exhaust.

Moreover, it benefitted from active aerodynamic features balancing the car’s drag coefficient and downforce value.
The flaps nested inside and below the front bumper opened and closed at certain speeds to increase or reduce airflow when needed the most. Below the rear diffuser, three aerodynamic flaps optimized air extraction to maximize performance.
In addition to all enhancements in aerodynamics, power, and technology, the 458 Speciale weighed 2,843 lb, 199 lb less than the 458 Italia!
Ferrari 458 Italia: Incredible Performance To Match Its Looks

Here’s another department where the 458 Italia outperforms its predecessors; Its engine. The Ferrari 458 houses a 4.5-liter V8 up from 4.3-liter in the F430 to make 562 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. A strict rear-wheel-drive supercar, the Ferrari 458 with the sole option of a dual-clutch transmission; making it the first production Ferrari V8 to be not offered with a manual. The engine unlike the F430 revs to 9000 rpm in what makes it one of the best sounding engines to come out in recent years. Unfortunately, this gem of an engine was replaced with a more powerful but soul-less turbocharged V8 in the 488 GTB. Even today enthusiasts much prefer having the 458 instead of the more advanced 488.
Via Driving UK
Aside from having a screamer nestled inside the aluminum architecture, the 458 showed extreme poise when driven with intent. The steering although making way for an electrically-assisted unit is one of the quickest in terms of directional changes. Coupled with the lightweight internals, the 458 Italia is a rather agile supercar; generations ahead of the Lamborghini Gallardo. The 458 has all the modern tech whilst staying true to its roots. Unlike the 488 which was technologically ahead, the 458 had character; one of the reasons for its increased acceptance among enthusiasts.
Engine & Performance
- Engine Type & Size: 4.5L naturally-aspirated V8
- Horsepower: 562 hp @ 9,000 rpm
- Torque: 398 lb-ft @ 6,000 rpm
- Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch
- 0-60 mph: 3.2 seconds
- Top Speed: 202 mph
Before getting down to the nitty-gritty of the 458 Italia’s performance specifications, let’s just mention that its F136-FB V8 engine provides one of the most thrilling soundtracks produced by any road-going vehicle out there, courtesy an orchestra which octaves all the way to 9,000 rpm. Bellissima!
Compared to its predecessor, the 458’s all-aluminum power plant provides the best of all worlds – it’s more powerful, more durable and more fuel efficient in spite of a 0.2L displacement premium. This is in part due to some variable valve wizardry, with three pneumatic throttle valves regulating air flow at the intake and exhaust. Surprisingly, it is also the first Ferrari mid-engine road-car to feature direct fuel injection.
The 458 comes exclusively with a 7-speed dual-clutch Getrag transmission which can change gears in as little as 0.04 seconds. Electronic nannies also help tether the car’s performance in relation to driving conditions and preferences, with a steering-wheel-mounted Manettino switch allowing the driver easy access to a number of preset driving modes on the fly. Each mode – which includes: Wet, Sport, Race, CT Off and ESC Off – delivers varying levels of involvement from the E-Diff, traction control, stability control, ABS, active suspension and transmission systems.
Trivia[]
- In the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, an Autobot spy called Dino transforms into a red Ferrari 458 Italia and speaks in an Italian accent. His Voice Actor, Francesco Daniele Quinn Died Shortly After The Movies Release. His Cause Of Death Was A Heart Attack.
- Hot Wheels produced a 1:18 scale model of the 458 Italia, Spider, GT2, Challenge, China Edition and, later, the Speciale versions under both its regular «Mattel / Heritage» and premium «Elite» and «Super Elite» lines of collectible die-cast models
- Bburago also produced variants of the 458, such as the Italia, Spider and Challenge, in diecast in 1:18, 1:24, 1:32, and 1:43 scales under its «Race and play» line up. The Speciale version in 1:18 scale followed later under both its «Race and play» and «Signature series» lineups.
Экстерьер
Дизайн экстерьера разрабатывали мастера из студии Pininfarina. В результате автомобиль получил узнаваемый вид с новыми, нетрадиционными для марки Феррари, колесами.
При этом, практически все новшества функции выборки эродинамику, превзойдя придшественников.
Передняя часть модели привлекает внимание головной оптикой алмазной огранки со светодиодным наполнением и огромным воздухозаборником со встроенными аэродинамическими крыльями, снижающими лобовое сопротивление и увеличивающими прижимную силу
В задней части суперкара и круглых задних фонарях расположены пара крупных воздуховодов, обеспечивающих охлаждение моторного отсека, тройная выхлопная труба, расположенная по центру и очень напоминающая легендарный F40, а также пара стоп-сигналов, спрятанных под бампером оригинальной комплектации.
В целом, внешне Ferrari 458 Italia — это 100% итальянский суперкар с множеством аэродинамических элементов, элегантными линиями кузова и огромными колесными дисками.
Впрочем, скептики утверждают, что модель вышла слишком уж стерильной, со смутным итальянским характером, но это дело вкуса.
Ferrari 458 Pricing
Price When New
Back when it was first released for the 2010 model year, the Ferrari 458 Italia had a base price of US$225,000. Options would add another $25,000 or so, with more bespoke appointments raising costs even further.
Subsequent models and trims such as the Spider, Speciale and Challenge commanded varying degrees of premium over the original car. As this article focuses on the latter, we’ve also done an analysis on what the used market currently looks like for the 2010 car.
Current Used Market
Quickly glancing at the (US) pre-owned market, it appears that a used 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia tends to command around $150,000 on average. Examples are typically lower mileage as you would expect, rarely having more than 15,000 clicks on the odometer.
Newer models (2012+) seem to command a premium over the earlier models, so jumping up to a later version can increase the price at least $50,000. This is due to the higher likelihood of transmission problems documented in 2010-2011 examples, which appears to have been smoothed over in the following model years.
Specifically for 2010 models, there have been rare instances of engine fires caused by the application of improper adhesives in the rear wheel arches – this issue prompted a manufacturer recall. If you are in the market for a pre-owned Ferrari 458 Italia – particularly an early model – ensure you’ve done your due diligence with regards to this recall or anything related to the transmission. The 458 otherwise has a lengthy and solid reputation of being a reliable car.

Legacy
As of 2020, the Ferrari 458 is at its lowest price point. In theory, it is the least interesting collector Ferrari – it was made in big numbers and surpassed by the newer, more potent, and more desirable 488 and the F8 Tributo. Still, the 458 Italia hasn’t depreciated nearly as much as other cars of this caliber tend to. On the contrary, it is slowly picking up traction to become a collectible Ferrari in decades to come.
Source: Ferrari
The right questions are how and why? It’s the first mid-engined Ferrari to ditch the manual completely, it looks way too aggressive for a Ferrari, and it’s been made obsolete by its successors.
While all that might be true, there’s one thing. Right now, there’s a new generation of future collectors growing up, and the Ferrari 458 will be their adolescent dream. The manuals won’t matter to the new generation, and neither will production numbers, ample by Ferrari’s standards. As cars change, collectors do too.
In the next ten years, the prospect of a somehow affordable Ferrari will clear out several examples, leaving the second-hand market with fewer and fewer pristine, well-cared examples. Right now, there’s plenty on the market, so it might be time to get one, whether for driving or investing purposes.
For the collectors sticking to tradition, it’s good to know that the 458 Italia is the last of the naturally aspirated V8 kin. The 458 Speciale and the 458 Speciale Aperta are definitely the variants to consider. These two are the ultimate expressions of the 458 nameplates, and it also helps that they are just a blast to drive.
