Last Naturally Aspirated V8 Ferrari The Ferrari 458 Italia (produced from 2009 to 2015) was the last Ferrari V8 model without turbocharging or hybrid assistance, making it a true purist’s supercar.
4.5L V8 with 9,000 RPM Redline The 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine (F136F) produces 570 hp and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque, revving up to an exhilarating 9,000 RPM.
0-100 km/h in Just 3.4 Seconds The 458 Italia accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
First Ferrari Without a Manual Transmission Unlike its predecessors, the 458 Italia was only available with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, improving shift speeds and performance.
Designed by Pininfarina The 458 Italia’s sleek and aerodynamic design was crafted by Pininfarina, Ferrari’s longtime design partner, blending beauty with functionality.
Active Aerodynamics for Improved Performance The front bumper features deformable winglets that adjust at high speeds, reducing drag and increasing downforce.
Direct F1 Influence in Technology The manettino switch on the steering wheel, the flat-bottom design, and the paddle-shift gearbox were all derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 technology.
Named After Its Engine Displacement & Cylinder Count The "458" in Ferrari 458 Italia stands for 4.5L V8, following Ferrari’s traditional naming system.
Replaced by the Ferrari 488 GTB In 2015, the 458 Italia was replaced by the twin-turbocharged Ferrari 488 GTB, marking the end of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V8 era.
Still Considered One of Ferrari’s Best Modern Supercars With its high-revving engine, iconic sound, and timeless design, the 458 Italia remains one of Ferrari’s most beloved and collectible modern models.

The 458 Italia is the pinnacle of Ferrari's mid-engine V8 legacy, featuring a 4.5L 570hp V8 that revs to 9,000 RPM with F1-derived aerodynamics.
As the final non-turbo, non-hybrid V8 Ferrari, it's now a blue-chip modern classic.
