Take a look at the new F4530 replacement… the Ferrari 458 Italia!  The price for this beauty in the UK…  £169,545.  Is this too expensive or very affordable?  Share your thoughts! But how abnormally expensive is this compared to other Prancing Horse cars? It’s priced between the California and 599 Fiorano– respectively, £143,325 and £207,075–some would say it’s just the right price for one of Ferrari’s newest and sleekest car models.  However,  available options on the 458 will dramatically skyrocket the price well over £170,000 e.g. if you include steering wheel LEDs, alcantara boot carpet, electric seats, and a spare wheel.

Regardless of whether you decide to spoil yourself with the extra options, the 458 Italia base model comes equipped with lots of features that will make any gear-head or Ferrari enthusiast salivate; as stated by WorldCarFans.com, “4.5-liter V8 engine with 570 CV (at9000 rpm), 540 Nm of torque,… 458 Italia rockets from 0-100 km/h in less that 3.4 seconds.”

So are you going to take the plunge? I just might have to…

The video follows the Ferrari 458 Italia for an entire 5 minutes!   I especially like the part 3 minutes into the movie, when it shows the 458 picking up in speed! What’s great about this video is you can hear the sweet sound of it’s engine the entire time. Check the video after the break or check out our AutoSpies.com link to hear what they have to say about the 458.

I was not sure I liked the tail section until I stood behind the car, it really works. The car sounds great as expected, it looks very agressive and fast even when parked.
