Ferrari 458 (F142)
Sports CarProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Ferrari 458 (Type F142) is a mid-size sports car in production from 2009 to 2016. It was available with several tunes of Ferrari's F136 naturally-aspirated V8 engine that displaced 4.5 liters. Unfortunately, the gated manual transmission was discontinued, leaving a 7-speed DCT as the only transmission on offer.
Compared to the F430 that preceded it, the 458 not only lost the manual transmission but is also less elegant. Its long front overhang is also somewhat awkward.
Ferrari emphasizes the acceleration, speed, and handling of the 458, and the vehicle delivered. However, many find that the techno-filled performance is unnecessary for those who enjoy their cars on public roads; however, the loss of elegance is lamentable.

Reviewer score 95% (normalized by Neofiliac)The new Ferrari 458 Italia is the replacement for the F430. It has a naturally aspirated 4.5-litre dry-sumped V8 that revs to a stratospheric 9000rpm. It can lap the Fiorano circuit in the same 1min 25sec as the stripped-out Scuderia.
Pros
- Fantastic performance
- Lots of tech
Cons
- No manual gearbox
- No KERS system
