First Drive: 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia
Ferrari does it again. The 458 Italia raises the bar for mid-engine exotic sports cars to new heights.
The 458 is wide, low, lean, lithe, and luscious. The rear view is the most compelling, with the car's triple exhaust pipes, the visible diffusers and venturi ducts, the silver prancing horse above the license plate, and the simple but evocative round taillights at the far upper corners. Unlike the F430, with its excessively slashed body sides, the 458 has clean body sides and relatively modest ducting. The pinpoint bi-xenon headlights and the LED eyebrows that spring back from them are delicate in appearance yet delightful to the eye. It's all quite yummy, and that's even before you take a gander through the rear glass and behold the redheaded Ferrari V-8 on display. more
