Ferrari has finally officially announced the stunning new replacement for the beloved future-classic F430. The sexy 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia gets its name from the 4.5-liter V-8, and the way this car embodies the passion and flair of its homeland (according to Ferrari). With a whopping 570 horsepower and 398 lb.-ft of torque to go along with bigger wheels and more rubber, the Italia has an estimated 0-62 mph time of less than 3.4 seconds and a claimed top speed of 202 mph! Power is controlled with a paddle-shifted, seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission.

What about slowing down? This reborn Italian stallion, equipped with a high-performance ABS braking system will come to a standstill from 62 mph in just 107 ft. Deceleration is aided by a unique function which lays the brake pads against the standard carbon-ceramic discs once the drivers lifts off the throttle.

Sculpted to aerodynamic requirements, the futuristic-looking 458 Italia is fitted with a new steering wheel and dash layout that comes directly from racing practice. Look for its official debut in September at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
