Ferrari 458 made its debut at the 63rd IAA Frankfurt motor show
The Ferrari 458 Italia is the successor to the Ferrari F430 which was one of Ferrari�s most successful models to date.
The design of the car was undertaken by Pininfarina who used the Enzo Ferrari which they also designed as inspiration.
Unlike the F430, which evolved from the 1999-2003 360 Modena, the 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia rides an all-new platform. It�s another unitized engine-behind-cockpit affair made largely of aluminum, but should also be stronger.
The Ferrari 458 Italia is available to order now from dealerships with deliveries beginning next year.
