The 458 Italia has been one of the most successful Ferraris of recent years. Presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009, it combines style and innovation like few other cars and has also picked up an impressive number of wins in its track versions. It was clear that this was an unusual car from the faces of journalists when it was unveiled in the presence of Ferrari management. The 8-cylinder beauty from Maranello is a synthesis of technological innovation, creativity, style and passion, in its own way a perfect example of the best of Italy. Indeed the car carries the country’s name alongside the number that refers to the unit cylinder capacity.
