The successor of the Ferrari F430 is the new Ferrari 458 Italia. And what a beauty it is! This supercar will come with a 4.5-liter V8 giving 562 bhp at 9000 rpm. The engine is linked to a seven speed gearbox to empower the rear wheels.
The performance is amazing: acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) takes less than 3.4 seconds and the top speed exceeds 325 km/h (202 mph).

For the environmental aware Ferrari driver: the Ferrari 458 Italia produces just 320 g/km of CO2 and fuel consumption is 13.7 l/100 km (combined cycle). Even with these figures, the new engine is significantly more powerful than the V8s that preceded it.
