We already know the Ferrari 458 Italia is more powerful than its F430 predecessor, but it’s also more powerful than the hardcore 510bhp F430 Scuderia. It even shifts cogs quicker than the Scud, which does it in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 0.06sec

The '458' part of the new Ferrari Italia's name is derived from the mid-mounted 4.5-litre V8 which produces 562bhp at 9000rpm – that’s 79bhp more and 500rpm higher than the F430. According to Ferrari, the 458 Italia is its highest-revving road car ever which goes some way to explaining why the 0-62mph sprint time for this entry-level Ferrari is a faintly ridiculous 3.4secs. Torque stands at 398lb ft at 6000rpm.
Must sound insane at full tilt.

Sounds like it'll be an amazing machine, but in regards to looks I think it's ok. I'll wait to see what companies like Hamann and Novitec will do to this thing.


edit:

Just found this gallery on 0-60 where they photoshopped the car with several possible looks.

Not really. I still don't like how it looks from the rear. But the front gets an "ok" from me.

Awesome vid, but I still don't like how it looks stock. Interior is nice though.
