Specs and Review

Ferrari 458 Italia very fantastic car in speed and strong,For all those Ferrari devotees that immediately closed their eyes and began making revving engine and shifting gear sounds after drooling on the keyboards in their cubicles over the new Ferrari 458 Italia earlier this morning, we have good news. While not exactly a new series of photos, the crew from Maranello has let loose two new videos of its mid-engined hypercar. The first vid gives us an early glimpse of the suitably high-tech view from the drivers seat, but both new clips may offer something even better: the glorious sound of Ferraris latest mid-mounted 4.5-liter V8 engine running up and down the ratios of its seven-speed dual clutch gearbox, watch this video
Ferrari 458 Italia

Ferrari, the GTO name (for "Gran Turismo Omologata") means "fuoriclasse" not rated models of sportsmanship exacerbated. The 599 is just the third model in the history of Maranello to benefit from the 250 (1962) and 288 (1984). Unsurprisingly for a result ... devastating: based on 599XX, the 599 GTO Ferrari is quite simply the most powerful drive ever built.


Once will not hurt, it is through the lungs of this extraordinary Ferrari we start: the legendary V12 6.0 of the Enzo and 599 GTB other. Revisited here by the goldsmiths of Maranello, he reached the 599 GTO a total outstanding of 670 hp (+ 50 hp) perched high in 8250 r / min, for a couple of 620 Nm at 6500 r / min. A mechanical excellence conducive to sublimate this sumptuous rossa what the 599.
But a noble block and a power gain, if so be it, are obviously not enough to inherit the GTO emblem. The weight is also an essential. A large carbon reinforcement, the 599 GTO was thus able to reduce its weight of 85 kg compared to the standard version, a total of 1605 kg (with full, 1495 kg dry) and a weight / power. .. 2.4 kg / hp!
Inevitably, with such potential, performance panic and come thou the heights: 3.35 seconds exactly to go from 0 to 100 km / h and more than 335 km / h V-Max announced.


Similarly, to provide the most sporting behavior possible, the 599 was "modernized" in terms of the chassis with the appearance of a magneto-rheological suspension Magnetic Ride next generation of anti-roll bar further strengthened, and an even better traction. However, it will obviously be possible to completely disconnect via the position of the famous CT Off Manettino.

Final details from which to attack the clock, brake Brembo carbon-ceramic (398 mm front, 360 mm in the back!) And the appearance of some additional aerodynamic bring to a 599 GTO optimized support 144 kg at a speed of 200 km / h.

A new Ferrari is always a small event. Last year at the Geneva Motor Show, the manufacturer of the Maranello Ferrari FF, the first car brand to have 4 wheel drive. For the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the cavalino remade in history: the Berlinetta Ferrari F12 and V12 do not develop less than 740 hp, which makes it the most powerful model in the history of Maranello. For comparison, the F2012 Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa produced 750 hp .
 

In some figures, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta 599 sends the retired. In addition to its 740 hp (700ch cons for the most powerful of the 599), the new Ferrari kills the 0 to 100 km / h in 3.1 seconds! It is a half-second faster than its predecessor. The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta lose a few inches, either in length, height or width. But it is above the side of the weight that progress is clearest: the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta displays 165 pounds less than the Ferrari 599, through the use of aluminum. 
Worked more aerodynamically than its predecessor, it displays a very aggressive side FF particularly inspired by the level of the grille and optical. The stern, less beautiful than the 599 GTB for some shows are completely new with circular headlights and a new extractor mainly separated into three parts. Same for the color Alluminio, which purists prefer the Rosso Corsa. 


Beyond performance worthy of the Italian automaker, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta displays forms that draw on different models of the brand. If the front is immediately think of the Ferrari FF, there are a few light touches of Ferrari 458 Italia or of California in the F12.

If performance and look of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta give your head spin, the price should not fail to be complete. For comparison, a Ferrari 599 costs more than € 250,000.
