Ferrari 458 Spider

The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engined two-seat high-performance sports car manufactured by Ferrari from 2009 to 2015. Styled by Donato Coco of Pininfarina, the 458 Italia acted as a successor to the F430 and was first unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car's exterior design emphasized aerodynamic efficiency, using numerous aerodynamic and engineering technologies derived from Formula One, while the car's interior design, penned by Bertrand Rapatel, features a layout similar to race cars incorporating many of the car's controls into the steering wheel, based on inputs provided by Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher. The car is powered by a 4.5L F136F V8, mated to a 7-speed Getrag dual clutch transmission; the engine produces 562 horsepower and features direct fuel injection, the first mid-engined Ferrari to be so equipped. A convertible version, the 458 Spider, was introduced at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and features a folding aluminum hardtop; the car features the same power as the coupe but a slightly lower top speed due to the added weight. About 6,000 were produced (some sources say 1,248).
