Another of Ferrari 458 Italia teaser ads! The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engined sports car to be produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari, as the replacement for the Ferrari F430.

Ferrari has not announced a price or even the start-date for production, but images have been released to the press. Ferrari will officially launch the car on September 15, 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show and at Ferrari’s Galleria Ferrari museum simultaneously.

The car was designed by Pininfarina, as with all recent Ferrari models. The car’s exterior styling and features were designed for aerodynamic efficiency, producing a downforce of 140 kg at 124 miles per hour (200 km/h). The car’s interior was designed using input from former Ferrari Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, including a new steering wheel design which incorporates many features and controls as opposed to them being on the dashboard, similar to racing car designs.

According to Autocar, the 458 Italia’s design has drawn inspiration from the Ferrari Enzo and its Mille Chili concept car. It has been designed to be Ferrari’s sportiest V8-engined car, to distinguish itself from the recently launched Ferrari California.
