Ferrari 458 "Monte Carlo" (Spy da Pag.5)

[Pandino]

[h=2]Could be called Monte Carlo or

Challenge Stradale[/h]

A hotter version of the Ferrari 458 Italia

is allegedly due in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Set to be called Scuderia (Monte Carlo / Challenge Stradale),

the new iteration of the 458 will be lighter than the standard model and could

take a few elements from the 458 Challenge race car. In

addition, the car could also utilize the know-how earned during LaFerrari

development. Chances are the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission will be

further tuned and receive new gear ratios.

Other upgrades on the list could include

beefier brakes, a stiffer suspension setup and stickier tires. More importantly,

the output of the V8 4.5-liter engine will reportedly jump to approximately 600

HP (441 kW) from 562 HP (413 kW). This will be possible thanks to new forged

connection rods, remapped ECU, tweaked exhaust and a redline increased from

9,000 rpm to 9,300 rpm. In addition, the 458 Scuderia is rumored to boast active

carbon fiber winglets on the rear diffuser.

Hello Ferrari 458 Monte Carlo, see you in Frankfurt!

A while ago, we already published a small movie about the Ferrari 458 Monte Carlo. Meanwhile, a few pictures have been made in Maranello. The car will be the more sporty version of the Ferrari 458 Italia. The car is developed under the code name Monte Carlo and has to compete with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series. The introduction of the Monte Carlo will take place just before the IAA in Frankfurt which means that everyone can enjoy the Ferrari 458 Monte Carlo on this Motor Show in Frankfurt.

Just like always, Ferrari gives this car the usual treatment for their more sporty versions. They reduce the weight, increase the power and make the car shift gears even faster. The gearbox of the 458 Italia is already fast but they even want to improve this. The V8 will produce around 600 hp and will keep up with the SLS AMG Black Series. Small detail is the fact that the introduction of the 458 Monte Carlo probably won’t take place in Italy.

When we look at the 458 Monte Caro, we will probably see a beautiful stripe over the entire car. The exhausts will also be different than the normal exhausts of the 458 Italia. The front and rear bumper will also get a slight adjustment to improve the downforce.

S'intravvede già parecchio!

Speriamo non abbiano esagerato coi buchi (e scelto un nome assennato )

Sbaglio o i cerchi in lega hanno un nuovo disegno?

[Regazzoni]

Vedo (o meglio vedo che hanno coperto) anche questa volta le due striscie che partono dal cofano anteriore e proseguono fino allo spoiler posteriore.

che,detto tra noi, sono pure una discreta tamarrata

[Cosimo]

Quelle argentate della scuderia io le ho sempre trovate molto azzeccate.

[Aymaro]

vero, quelle facevano la loro porca figura. Qui però mi han detto che saranno più tamarre

spero non sia come certa roba truzzerrima delle ultime serie speciali di 430
