The 2012 Ferrari 458 Spider (Italia Design) - First Look
2012 Ferrari 458 italia Preview – The 2012 Ferrari 458 italia has a release date is rumored to mid-2011 and promised to every inch of fun as its predecessor. 2012 Ferrari 458 Italia was conceived as a substitute F430 a
nd was first introduced in 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show to much acclaim because it has a specification, performance, features interior and exterior features are excellent. Hope the MSRP at around 225,000 for basic models, such as with a typical 2-door model Ferrari, italia is expected to maintain high selling price.
2012 Ferrari 458 italia was built on an aluminum chassis and offers a 4499 cc V8 engine with a 7-speed dual clutch and high-performance ABS brakes for optimum performance and handling. 2012 Ferrari 458 italia this is the first of the Ferrari line must be equipped with a rear engine mounted direct injection. 2012 Ferrari 458 italia reach 0-60 mph in 3 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph. Although too early to be sure, there is no indication that the 201
2 italia-style body will leave many of the interface model is efficient and aerodynamic.
If a recent report is correct, Ferrari automaker manufacture will develop a news series Ferrari 458 Italy Spider GTS with glass roof. While details are scarce, the roadster will feature a glass roof that flips upright and disappears behind the seats. Of course, this cannot be confirmed since previous reports have indicated the 458 Spider GTS will feature a folding hardtop (similar to the one used on the California) or a traditional soft top.
Regardless, the car Ferrari 458 Spider GTS will feature a 4.5-liter V8 with 570 P
S (562 hp / 419 kW) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. It will be connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which should allow it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 3.6 seconds.
While Ferrari has a adopted a folding hard-top roof for its most recent convertible mod
el, the California, the 458 Italia Spider is likely to retain the lightweight soft-top roof seen o
n the F430 Spider and high-performance Scuderia 16M.
Apart from the roof and some chassis reinforcements, the 458 Italia Spider should be identical to its hard-top sibling, which means power will come from a 4.5-liter V-8 engine rated at 570 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque and sending torque to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Dimensions should remain at 4,527 mm in length, 1,937 mm in width, and 1,213 mm in height, though weight will almost certainly be higher than the hard-tops 1,380 kg measurement.

Ferrari will Release 6 new cars by 2013
Fiat has been busy outlining its future plans today, part of which was to outline what Ferrari is up to and what we can expect over the next three years from Maranello. None of it was unexpected, but good to get confirmation.
Biggest news for Ferrari aficionados is confirmation that the replacement for the Enzo – the Ferrari F70 – will launch in 2012. As we reported previously, the F70 seems likely to get a turbo-charged V8 – a return to the Ferrari F40 days – rather than a V12. Blame the climate. Or at least the climate change lobby.
Before the Enzo expect to see a soft-top 458 in 2011 – the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider – and also a replacement for the 612 Scaglietti. The general consensus is that the Scaglietti will stick with a V12, but we wouldn’t bet on it. V8 turbo seems far more likely to us. But it will also probably be Ferrari’s first hybrid car.
Joining the Enzo replacement in 2012 will be a replacement for the 599 GTB Fiorino which we would also expect to disappear down the forced induction route. Finally – but probably not until 2013 – we will get the hard-core 458 – the Ferrari 458 Scuderia – and a facelift and fettle for the California.
Good to see Ferrari still pushing forward despite the doom and gloom of the economy and the climate change lobby, but we expect the next three years to see the end of a V12 in a Ferrari.
