Ferrari 458 Italia

The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engine rear wheel drive sports car. It was first unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September 2009. The 458 has a 4.5 liter engine with 562 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque and is the first mid-engine Ferrari with direct fuel injection. The 458 is fitted with a standard dual-clutch 7-speed transmission, similar to the Ferrari California. With the 562 hp and a curb weight of 3,274 lb the 458 can go from 0-60 mph in about 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.. It can go back down from 60 mph to zero in about 107 ft with the help of ABS. The 458 was also reviewed  on Top Gear, where it received acclaim for its styling and performance. In a drag race against the predecessor of the 458 the Ferrari F430, it won by a considerable margin. The car also lapped the Top Gear test track in 1:19.1, just 0.1 seconds slower than Ferrari's super car the Enzo. Altho it cost $220,000 if you have the money to spare its a great choice.
