This guide goes through the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia Best Engine Builds in NFS Heat. The Ferrari is a rocket with the correct setup. So read on to find out exactly what you need to do.
Vehicle Background
The 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was the successor to the Ferrari F430 and was first introduced as a concept car at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The car is an evolution of the Ferrari F430 with notable exterior and interior changes. The car’s bodywork is designed by Pininfarina and built by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.
The 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia is a two-seat Berlinetta powered by a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 engine of the “Ferrari/Maserati” F136 engine family. This new powerplant was developed jointly by Ferrari and Maserati. The engine features direct fuel injection, which is a first for Ferrari mid-engine setups in a series production car. The only transmission available for the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia is a seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch gearbox, in a rear mid-engine, all-wheel drive layout.
The 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). The car’s fuel economy in the combined cycle (ECE+FTP72) is 13.3 L/100 km; while producing 307 g/km of CO2.
The 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia was designed by Pininfarina, as was the case with all previous Ferrari road cars. The body styling of the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia draws heavily from the company’s experience in Formula 1, with the front and rear wings being inspired by aerodynamic designs seen on race cars.
The interior of the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia is recognizably similar to that of the F430, but with a more modern design and ergonomics. The car has a flat-bottomed steering wheel and an instrument cluster featuring two analog dials (for speed and engine RPMs) and a digital multifunction display in between. The display shows information about the car’s dynamic performance, such as lateral and longitudinal acceleration, as well as gear selection.
