Jason Harper of Bloomberg News had the awesome honor of accepting delivery of a very special unit for Ferrari of northern New Jersey (I think….it was written in such a way that it could have been real or an elaborate fantasy). Either way, this is a $225,325 Ferrari 458 Italia saddled up with $57,000 worth of options!
Ferrari 458 Italia
Do not let the understated slate gray color fool you, this car is a beast with the following high-performance features:
• 4.5-liter V8 engine churning out the most gorgeous symphony of power
• 562 prancing horses
• 398 lb-ft of torque
• Specialized 7-speed double-clutch automated manual transmission with paddle shifters
• Demolishes 0-60 mph mark in 3.2 seconds
• Surprisingly decent mpg’s for a supercar, 12 city/18 highway
Ferrari 458 Italia
My favorite part of Harper’s (not to be confused with Charlie) description of the 458 was the following:
“The engine pops and burbles. At times it’s a swarm of angry wasps, others a male lion crying out in a fitful dream. Often I put the seven-speed automated manual into an unnecessarily low gear, just to provoke an aural response.”
That is a very accurate and creative description, and you can experience the power personally with our Ferrari 458 Italia rental! You will be reviewing the car to your friends for months afterward, much like Mr. Harper!
Can you imagine sliding behind the wheel of a 458 Italia?
