Ferrari’s newest offering is quite ridiculously capable and insanely quick, writes KYLE FORTUNE
I’M STRUGGLING to comprehend how a car can actually get any quicker. Last time I was in Italy, driving Ferrari’s 430 Scuderia, I thought the same thing, but the new 458 Italia has me asking the same question. Though this time I’m utterly convinced it’s not possible. Ferrari has clearly made a pact with the devil to produce the 458 Italia, as it’s quite ridiculously capable and insanely quick. Grab someone with a stopwatch and they’ll time it reaching 100km/h in under 3.4 seconds and it’ll do over 325km/h too if you can find somewhere to do it.
