Driving Dynamics
The multi-award-winning, hand-built 4.5 liter naturally aspirated V8 engine is the heart of the 458 Italia. The engine unfolds a symphony of mechanics and emotion that reaches its dramatic climax at 9,000 rpm. With a powerful thrust of 570 hp, it catapults you to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and makes your heart beat in time with the engine. The lightning-fast F1 dual-clutch gearbox, the electronic E-Diff3 differential and the F1 Trac traction control system work seamlessly together to guarantee maximum performance. The SCM magnetorheological damper control and carbon-ceramic brakes ensure the perfect balance between agility and control.
