    hi there Iv tryed to look online but no luck im trying to find out how they got there extra horse's on the speciale compared to the normal 458 italia engine. I know its not easy to get extra power out of a naturally aspirated engine when there both the same engine cc. 562bhp vs 597 bhp that amazing 35bhp difference.

    what mods did they use to get that extra 35bhp I know a engine tune is 1 of them but there gota be more to it ?????.

    No way they got 35bhp from just a engine tune. thanks oz

    Take one 4.5 litre V8,
    shrink the displacement to 3.8(3.9?) litres
    add dual turbochargers, intercoolers, bunch of software, lots of cooling
    and go from 570 HP to 660HP,
    while ruining the looks of the 3/4 panel.

    Sorry, answered wrong question::

    Hotter cams, more fuel pressure, bit closer to the emissions edge.

    It has a higher compression ratio close to 14:1 instead of 12:5:1 ratio of 458 Italia. It has hotter cams, carbon air boxes and carbon intake manifolds. That's all I know
