- The Last Naturally-Aspirated V8 Ferrari - High Spec Example - Including Carbon Fibre Racing Seats - Comprehensive Service History - UK Supplied Being the successor to the well-regarded Ferrari F430, the 458 Italia had some big boots to fill as the next ‘Junior Ferrari’, in a long line of spectacular examples since the Dino - and fill them it did. The arrival of this particular car had been widely praised as a landmark in Ferrari’s long history and one of the best all-round supercars Ferrari had ever produced, representing a massive technological leap forward over its predecessors. With a 4.5L V8 developing over 550bhp and howling to a 9,000rpm redline, this was no longer a ‘Junior Ferrari’ and allowed the 458 to enter higher territory, outgunning Ferrari’s flagship V12 at the time, the 599GTB, around the Fiorano test track. Using Formula 1 technology the 458 features vastly improved aerodynamics without making any aesthetic sacrifices, in fact it has been acknowledged as one of the most attractive Ferraris in recent memory. This car manages to be both thrilling to drive and incredibly accessible, combining brilliant handling, superb levels of grip and ferocious acceleration. The cabin is totally driver focused with most controls easily accessible from the steering wheel, combined with a huge range of bespoke trim and detailing adding to the sense of occasion and individuality. Ceramic brakes come as standard and by Ferrari producing such an entertaining machine, the 458 Italia was and still is one of the most desirable supercars for sale today. The Ferrari 458 Italia earns itself a well-deserved place in Ferrari’s illustrious history.
