Vehicle Description
We have here a 2010 Ferrari 458 Coupe with only 7K miles on her...
wow somebody didn't get their monies worth but you can start where
they left off. Turns out, driving the 458 quickly is practically
effortless, like strapping on parabolic skis or doing square roots
with a calculator. With an 11.5:1 ratio, the steering is
unbelievably quick and surprisingly light, as though the front axle
were barely touching the ground. Still, the grip is tenacious, the
turn-in to a corner so fierce and direct that youll swear it has a
rudder tilling the asphalt. The direct-injection 4.5-liter V-8
whirls to its 9000-rpm redline with a fearsome roar but a throttle
so controllable and a torque band so flat that it never runs away
on you. The carbon-ceramic brakesstandard on all 458s, as they are
on all new Ferrarisrespond to minute changes in foot pressure, not
a trait always associated with carbon brakes. The suspension,
enhanced with magnetorheological shock absorbers, keeps the body
flat and calm, even over Fioranos various bumps and ripples. The
electronic differential and the multilevel stability control can
track the car out of corners as if it were stuck down by Gods own
wad of gum. Thanks to the cars finely orchestrated chorus of
electronics and solid engineering, a chimpanzee on Vicodin could
set a lap record in this car. Compared with the F430 , the 458 was
designed less for sex appeal than for maximum efficiency in power
production and aerodynamic slipperiness. The wheelbase was
stretched slightly, the overhangs clipped a bit, and the cockpit
bubble moved forward and heightened like the canopy of an F-16
fighter. But if you dont find its neoamphibian face particularly
sultry, blame the various concessions to aerodynamics, such as the
plastic nose winglets that look like carp whiskers and deform at
speed to change airflow over the radiators for reduced drag and
lift. Or the corner vents that pinch the headlights into bizarre
slits of stacked LEDs while also flowing slower-moving air over the
front fenders to cut lift and not increase drag. Like the oddly
shaped Enzo, the 458 is meant to show off everything Ferrari has
learned about airflow with its wing- and duct-bristled F1 cars,
whether its pretty or not. Give us a call we can finance this beast
up to 12 years and or lease it for 5 years giving you a 100% write
off for those who need it. (all of US)
