I'm sure a lot of you know the F430 is old news now as Ferrari have been developing its successor for some time now.
Well, here are the first images of what the Ferrari 458 Italia will look like.

When I first saw the pics, I wasn't too sure, but I think this may be one of those cars where the pictures don't do it justice.
I can't wait to see one in the flesh.

It will be powered by a 4.5 litre V8 which produces 562bhp at 9000rpm.
Ferrari claim this has the highest bhp/litre for normally aspirated car engine.
It has more in common with superbikes than cars; at 127bhp per litre, the specific output is greater than that of many turbocharged engines.

It means the 458 Italia will be ferociously fast, and Ferrari claims it will sprint to 62mph in under 3.4sec on its way to a top speed of “over 200mph”.

Expect prices to start at around £150,000.

Group buy anyone?

I think the side profile is stunning.
I'm really glad they've stepped away from the F360/F430 shape.
