Ferrari 458 Italia

Ferrari is known to treat its wealthiest of customers with bespoke, one-off derivatives of their existing models at their request. Of course, they’ll also need a big fat pay cheque to go along with it. The 458 has had a handful of such spin-offs during its tenure, the most noteworthy of them being the Ferrari SP-12 built for Eric Clapton, and the most recent being the Ferrari 450 MM Speciale built for one well-heeled British customer. Now, Instagram user and LaFerrari Read More...

It’s that time of the year again when you dread to go out and prefer to chill in the comfort of your house or office. Summer slowly seems to be set in the city of Mumbai as winter takes an early exit. Not exactly the same for everyone though, as some parts of Maharashtra are also experiencing rainfall at this time of the year.

Aim your guns at a 20-year old spoilt prick from Europe who burnt his black Ferrari 458 Italia, just so that his father could buy him the new 488 GTB. Apparently, the guy owns 20 other exotic and luxury cars, apart from the Ferrari. The 458 didn't cut the mustard anymore, and the owner was apparently too "scared" to ask his father for the newer Ferrari, so he incinerated it. Only that he didn't do it himself. The scumbag hired three accomplices, and Read More...

Not content with his Ferrari 458 Italia, a chromed-out-to-blind-you Fisker Karma, and a bevy of other supercars, Justin Bieber has just ordered a LaFerrari. The news comes to us courtesy of USA Today, where the popstar was asked the question that’s on everyone’s minds, “Speaking of driving cars quickly, what are you driving these days?” His answer, “I'm still driving my Ferrari. It's a 458 Italia, and I just got the LaFerrari, it should be coming soon.” You probably already Read More...

Eighty five years have gone by since May 22, 1930, when Battista “Pinin” Farina founded Società Anonima Carrozzeria Pinin Farina in Turin, a small artisan workshop that turned out small production runs and special bodywork to order for wealthy private clients. Today Pininfarina, focuses on design (automotive and non-automotive), engineering services, design and construction of very small runs and unique cars, the so-called Fuoriserie (custom-built) vehicles. Conceived as a tribute to styling genius Sergio Pininfarina, the Italian design house has revealed Read More...

Ouchie! That is a gut-wrenching sight to see. The Ferrari 458 Italia is one of the best selling cars from the Maranello-based exotic carmaker. The 458 is so named, because it houses a 4.5-litre normally-aspirated V8 which pumps out 570 proud Italian horses. This means the Italia scampers from a standstill to 100 klicks in a smidgen under 3.5 seconds! The standard car tops out at around 320 km/h, which is pretty crazy fast on its own. But, there are some who find this to Read More...

  The wait is over. After all the teasers and the ado, Ferrari finally blows the top on its 458 replacement, slaps on a couple of turbo-chargers and calls it the 488 GTB. Set for a global reveal at this year's Geneva motor show, the Ferrari 488 GTB is only the second turbocharged Prancing Horse in recent times, following last year’s revised California T. What's in a name? The 488 part of the new nomenclature refers to the individual cylinder capacity Read More...

Underdogs. They're always special. Little did that Ferrari driver know that this heavily tuned, turbo-charged Supra ran a heady boost of 40 psi. (The typical boost provided by a turbocharger ranges between 6 to 8 psi). When the guys at That Racing Channel on YouTube were out testing their new engine setup in their Toyota Supra, they encountered a Ferrari 458 Italia, a very fast car in its own right, on the highway that wanted to do a little bit of Read More...

A couple of leaked, grainy pictures accompany the news that Ferrari will build six 458-based Pininfarina Sergio supercars. [caption id="attachment_108150" align="alignnone" width="600"] Pininfarina Sergio Concept[/caption] For those not in the know, Pininfarina is that Italian design outfit which gives Ferrari those curves to kill. The Pinifarina Sergio Concpet  was a design-study, built to pay homage to the late Sergio Pininfarina.  It debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and generated quite a response from the wealthy Ferrari clientele. Now it seems that Read More...
