2011 Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am

Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am is built to match the American regulations and is therefore different to the European car, especially in that it develops 500 horsepower and has less efficient aerodynamics than the GT version. It is also fitted with a 48 mm restrictor and maximum revs are 8000. Significant modifications have been made to the braking system, as the car has neither ABS nor traction control. Other differences to the GT3 include the roll-over bar which gives greater lateral protection to increase safety in a series in which collisions are rather more frequent. The car is fitted with tyres from Continental, the sole supplier to the series, featuring a very hard compound, again to conform with the series regulations.

2012 Ferrari 458 Spider

Ferrari 458 Spider is powered by naturally-aspirated direct-injection 4.5 litre V8 which was nominated as the 2011 International Engine of the Year for its engineering excellence in terms of driveability, performance, economy and refinement. The power is transferred to the road by Ferrari’s class-leading dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift transmission through the sophisticated E-Diff, itself integrated with the F1-Trac traction control and high-performance ABS for maximum handling dynamics.

Certain features, such as its accelerator pedal mapping and the damping of the multilink suspension, have been calibrated to guarantee maximum sportiness and absolute driving pleasure with the top down, in line with Maranello’s exclusive spider tradition. Even the engine soundtrack has been honed to ensure that the car’s occupants are completely captivated by the drop-top driving experience.

2011 Ferrari 458 Italia by Cam Shaft

Cam Shaft Company from Steinbach, Hessen specialized in fine-finishing using the foil of the “best” cars. And with a stunning success which is undoubtedly proved by the Ferrari presented here. Treatment with foil of various things helps to achieve the results that people could not imagine a few years ago.

On the one hand Cam Shaft guarantees the possibility to eliminate the process of foil treatment at a competitive price. On the other hand, a technically correct process of treatment will bring much more benefits to the vehicle. In this case the roof is treated with the chrome foil as well as the upper parts of the side wings while the rear lights, fog lights and a third stop light are adequately dimmed. Dimming of the lights, by the way, can always be reversed. Stock disks are covered with black lacquer, allowing yellow cramps of the disk brake mechanism to look even brighter. It is also worth mentioning that Solingen company Wimmer Rennsporttechnik added some extra horse power to the initial 570 hp and endowed the car with 588 hp and 562 Nm. Optimization of the software costs 2.999 euros.

2012 Ferrari F12berlinetta

The F12berlinetta’s 6262cc 65° V12 engine delivers unprecedented performance and revs for a naturally-aspirated 12-cylinder. Its maximum power output is 740 CV which translates to a specific output of 118 CV/l. Torque reaches a peak of 690 Nm, 80 per cent of which is already available at just 2,500 rpm, and which provides an unrelenting surge of acceleration all the way to the 8,700 rpm limit. The engine is mated to the F1 dual-clutch transmission, which has closer gear ratios developed specifically for this car’s performance. The F12berlinetta boasts a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.1 kg/CV.

The F12berlinetta’s impressive technical specifications are completed by Ferrari’s latest generation carbon-ceramic brakes (CCM3) and the evolution of the magnetorheological suspension control system (SCM-E). As is now traditional with all Ferraris, its control systems (E-Diff, ESP Premium, F1-Trac, and high-performance ABS) are all fully integrated.

The result is that the new Prancing Horse 12-cylinder accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.5 seconds. It also completes a lap of the Fiorano circuit in 1’23″, faster than any other Ferrari road car. Benchmark performance and maximum driving involvement are guaranteed by immediate turn-in, with smaller steering wheel angles, and increased cornering speed. Stopping distances have also been drastically reduced.
