For Sale: 2015 Ferrari 458 in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to present this 2015 Ferrari 458. The 2015 Ferrari 458 Challenge is a rear-drive mid-engine supercar powered by a high-revving 4.5-liter V-8 rated at 562 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque from factory that's paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox where the ratios have been altered to deliver better torque delivery at lower revs. However, while the engine and gearbox are carried over from the road-legal 458, don't be fooled into thinking the Challenge isn't a proper racer. The First clue to its intent is the large rear wing. In conjunction with under body aerodynamics and a new front splitter it helps generate lots of downforce. Sitting 50mm lower than the road car; the Challenge's stiffer springs and single-rate dampers give the suspension a much firmer set-up, while centre-nut competition wheels are matched. Opening the feather-light composite door is a giveaway to the Challenge's focus on weight saving via the use carbon panels and polycarbonate side-windows. Although, thanks to the addition of racing kit like the roll-over cage, competition fuel tank and quick-lift air jacks, the Challenge is just 10kg lighter than the 458 Italia road car. Designed for gentleman drivers rather than professional racers the Challenge retains ABS and traction control and from behind the wheel the familiar 458 driver focused dash is unaltered. Lap after lap, the Challenge gives you the confidence to brake later, pick up the throttle earlier and carry more speed. The Challenge reacts quicker than the road car, it rewards precision and commitment, but at the same time, it communicates the limit of grip pretty well, too, and never feels overly intimidating.This vehicle DOES NOT come with a Title and is being sold with Bill of Sale
