    Ferrari has drawn from the visual spirit of the Enzo to create a power-packed replacement for the F430 that shuns the rounded curves of its past V8s in favor of chiseled, unmistakable aggression.

    Boasting a new 4.5-liter V8 engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a 202-mph top speed, Ferrari has revealed that the car--code-named F142 and long rumored to be named the F450--will be called the 458 Italia. Following Ferrari lore, it stands for a 4.5-liter engine with eight cylinders, though why Ferrari thought people would forget it came from Italy is anybody's guess.

    The Ferrari 458 Italia will be unveiled on Sept. 8 at the Frankfurt motor show. It has been heavily sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency and has picked up more racing technology than any Ferrari before.

    the styling is subjective...but the performance is not...9k rpm...weeeeeeeeeee
    for those that can afford to..they will be selling their 430's as soon as they know their 458 is on its way...

    I like the styling, except I think those string of LEDs aobve the headlights are going to be the tell tale design item for this decade.

    That is the best looking Ferrari in a long time. It looks exotic, something Ferrari lost in it's designs over the years.

    The level of engineering Ferrari has now obtained in a street car is nothing less than incredible.

    What a nice looking car !!
    Just going by numbers, if it is called 458, it must be better than the 456.

    The biggest styling complaint so far seems to be the headlights...But hey, you dont have to look at them while youre behind the wheel :)

    You make a good point but I kind of like them. They give the car an aggressive look. I'm not sure whether I like the LED's though.

    The one thing that keeps bothering me every time I see it is the front grill treatment. Somethings just seems off. Maybe it's because I don't like a lot of badging and the horse is distracting me. Either way I'd trade my house for one. It's times like these it really sucks to be poor! ;)
