ItaliaspeedTV - Ferrari 458 Italia, development with Shell

The Ferrari 458 Italia is a great feat of mechanical and technical engineering, so much so that Ferrari have gifted it the name of its home country. This Shell video navigates through how Shells research, development and innovation have optimised the performance figures of the 458 Italia. The Direct Fuel Injection, 4.5 litre V8 produces 570hp at 9,000rpm, with a total power output of 127hp/litre, a fuel consumption figure of 13.31/100km and CO2 emissions of 307 g/km. The transfer of technology from Ferraris Formula One department to its Gestione Industriale the road car division is a direct parallel to Shells efforts in motorsport. Formula One provides Shell with an extreme test bed on which to test its fuels and lubricants, allowing the scientists to take the learnings and incorporate them into the products for the road. Having worked with Ferrari on the development of the Formula One engines, Shell was best placed to aid the development of the 458 Italias power unit to ensure that optimum performance was achieved. This significant collaboration has once again put Ferrari ahead of its competitors and has proved that the partnership with Shell is not only about winning Formula One World Championships, but also about delivering one of the most integrated technical partnerships in the performance road car market.

Pure SEX, this car

[xdemon123]

This car is FUCKING SLICK. Indeed...this car, with its soundtrack is pure sex

True racer!

A dune buggy?! WOW..some people have no idea about form and function. Please show me a dune buggy that even slightly resembles this car from any angle. Ferrari is not about boxy sharp angular cars, that's Lamborghini. Ferrari cars are much more refined in design, function and form. Built for track duty but very streetable. Lambo's are simply fast street cars that don't translate well over to race cars. Ferrari = Race car for the street.

Excellent feature.

@Exoticxz  The absence of flat planes and angles like Lambo et al, is what makes this design such an achievement, because it is very, very difficult to execute. It's a very advanced design, similar to the Enzo. You may need to see it in person for it all to come together. It's a 3-D design and images always fall short.

dude

i agree totally with u

at the side bottom rear there should have been at least a small vent instead of leaving it plain

maybe the scuderia version might come up to our expectations

do u agree?

[Exoticxz]

im finding it hard to like the 458 the front i dnt know about but the backs sexy..its abit disapointing to see no detail on the side just smooth lines like ordinary cars..i guess thats a shame...on some angles it looks like a 1960's dune buggy....dnt know were ferrari goin wih this car...

I think its ugly, dont get me wrong Im sure the drive is just a orgasm waiting to happen. However I dont like the styling in the front. Don't hate me cause of this. Its still a pure and magnificent sports car in every way.
