New Red big boy is in the town, proudly flaunting the Prancing Horse insignia. Described with triple ferocious of exciting, brilliant and fast by Top Gear’s Bill Thomas, Ferrari 458 Italia is the latest supercar in Prancing Horse’s range. Media says it is the most beautiful Ferrari, to date.

Performance wise, the 458 Italia is much far better compared to the insipid California. Reaching top speed at 202 mph, hitting the century in staggering 3.4 seconds and about 7.5 seconds to 100 mph with a 562 horsepower V8 engine, it screams with the revs build up to 9,000 rpm. Could this be new icon or perhaps legend that finally make the 430 Scuderia sounds primitive? Perhaps.

On the Ferrari’s Fiorano test track, the 458 Italia is reported faster than the Enzo. Well, that’s according to Ferrari’s management. Not to forget the handling, this 562bhp 458 Italia is further boasted as the best handling mid-engine Ferrari of all time. It is equipped with E-diff electronic differential and F1-Trac traction control system that is said as the pinnacle in its class to produce power.

As for now, Ferrari can be proud with their new Red baby with 562bhp 4.5 litre V8 that revs up to the astounding figure of 9,000 rpm and sit back relaxing while waiting for the next respond from Lamborghini, perhaps. Will the next Gallardo please ‘stand up’?
