The new 4499 cc V8 is the first Ferrari direct injection engine to be mid-rear-mounted.
The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission increases performance whilst providing very smooth shifts even at full throttle.
Twin wishbones at the front and a multi-link set-up at the rear tuned for maximum roadholding and superlative handling.
The same ECU governing the E-Diff and F1-Trac also controls the high-performance ABS.
The integration of the E-Diff and F1-Trac (now controlled by the same ECU) and their respective mappings is now even greater.
The new chassis, once more in aluminium, incorporates aerospace industry-derived manufacturing and bonding techniques.
The seamless integration between aerodynamics and styling has always been vital to Ferrari.
Ferrari thanks its partners, who, with their precious collaboration, contributed to the 458 Italia’s development and production.
