Ferrari Senior Vice President, Dany Bahar, and his colleague, Technical Director, Roberto Fedeli, highlight several technical aspects of the new 458 Italia in this promotional video clip.The naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V8 engine not only boasts increased power over its predecessor but also has improved efficiency and fuel consumption.The 458 body design has reduced aerodynamic drag. For example, at 325km/h the car produces 365kg of downforce.Different body construction materials were used for rigidity and strength, most of them lightweight - like aluminium.Response times for most of the car's aspects have been reduced, from the steering to suspension system and including the new generation E-Diff.As a result, it's no surprise that its 0 - 100km/h time is under 3.4 seconds and average fuel consumption is 13.7 litres per 100km.
