Ferrari 458 Special: stronger, faster, better

We had not yet experienced. At the moment the very first spy shots us fall into the inbox - and we want to call it Monte Carlo - Ferrari pulls the fabric of their latest race horse: the Ferrari 458 Special. Different name, same high expectations.

Special state at this Ferrari primarily for faster performance. The initial cause is a 4.5 liter V8 that of the standard 590 horsepower is increased to 605 hp. The specific power thus comes to 135 hp per liter which according Ferrari a record for a naturally aspirated engine. Nice to know, but much more interesting we find what effect this has on the cold statistics. Still quite a lot, it turns out, while torque of 540 Nm remained unchanged. From zero to 100 km / h shoot lasts Ferrari 458 Special only 3 seconds. That is four tenths faster than the "normal" model, but - and that makes it impressive - not even so much slower than the LaFerrari. The acceleration from 0 to 200 km / h impresses with a time of 9.1 seconds. Over the top Ferrari late, unfortunately not.
                                   
Active aerodynamics
in order only to retrieve them. Super-Ferrari once The Ferrari 458 Special features like the LaFerrari overactive aerodynamic. That means that the front and rear spoilers automatically adjust to driving conditions and driving style. This is the handling benefit and so Ferrari has also taken care of the stability system. That is the Special equipped with the advanced Sideslip angle Control (SSC), a system that ensures that the limit driving easier, but is especially fun.
