In addition to that, it makes only 307 grams per kilometer of emissions. It’s mated that has a Formula 1 inspired 7-speed transmission with dual clutch. This pairing will launch this car from zero-to-100 kilometers by the hour in 3.4 seconds and take it with a top speed of within 200 miles per hour.

However the 2010 458 Italia can tackle the best of them. Most of these cutting edge features come at a cost though. At a cost tag hovering around $225,000 dollars, this supercar doesn’t come cheap by any means. Then again, this can be a legitimate Ferrari. Which just might be the definitive Ferrari with this generation. Fast, efficient, and functionally beautiful, it simply might be the start a whole new chapter to the house that Enzo made.
