Ferrari 458 ItaliaThe engineers have developed specific, sportier gear ratios to match the power and torque curves of the new V8, guaranteeing high torque even at lower engine speeds and allowing the car to reach its maximum speed in top gear. The Ferrari 458 Italia is equipped with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission which increases performance whilst providing very smooth shifts even at full throttle. The car's soundtrack is also typical Ferrari, with an exciting, powerful growl emerging from the engine before it channels through to the exhaust's three rear tailpipes. However, what is truly extraordinary is the amount of torque available while still maintaining high levels of power at low revs.
Specific torque is a record 120 Nm/litre. Maximum torque is 540 Nm at 6000 rpm, over 80 per cent of which is available from 3250 rpm. Equipped with the traditional flat-plane crankshaft, the engine delivers 570 CV at 9000 rpm and, with an outstanding power output of 127 CV/litre, sets a new benchmark not only for the whole Ferrari range and the history of company, but also for the entire market segment. It has a very low piston compression height typical of racing engines which contributed to achieving its compression ratio of 12.5:1.
