Summary

Description

2010 (10) FERRARI 458 Italia LHD, 2 Door Coupe, Rosso Scuderia , Nero with Cuoio Moqueta , previous owners 3, FFSH, 3,276 miles, MOT’d until 1st July, 2013. The 458 Italia is incredible. In one generation, it’s managed to improve on all the things we’ve come to expect from Ferrari, and fix all of the drawbacks as well.

It surprises exactly no one that the 458 is significantly faster than the F430 it replaces. With 570 bhp screaming from the 4.5-litre mid-mounted V8, it rips off the sprint to sixty in 3.3 seconds using its advanced launch control, on its way to a 202 mph top speed. It’s 200 pounds lighter than the Scuderia. It laps Ferrari’s test track at Fiorano only 0.1 seconds slower than the Enzo.

The 7-speed Dual-Clutch transmission, hated by purists who would rather row their own, is best in class. It changes cogs, literally, in the blink of an eye, which is great when wringing the V8 to its lofty 9000 rpm redline, eager to extract every tenth on the track.

The actual experience of driving the 458 is sublime. The car pivots around corners like there’s a stake driven through the dead center of the car on a track. Steering feel is both light and full of feedback. Throttle and brake response are both as fast as you can think. Shifts have happened already.

This LHD 458 has 3 previous owners and has covered only 2900 miles. It is finished in the rarer shade of Rosso Scuderia with Duel leather in Nero with Cuoio Moqueta with special stitched in Nero.

Being a left hand drive we have all the manual in English. Please note the wheels pictured in this advert, the 5 stars, have just been fully refurbed and powder coated in dark anthracite. These were a £5k option from Ferrari. This 458 has Ferrari warranty remaining until 2013 and has a full Ferrari service history. We have all original handbooks and service books, as well as 2 sets of keys.
