Wheelsandmore: Custom 458 Italia (based on Ferrari 458 Italia) news

Press release...

German luxury car refining company wheelsandmore released their performance package for the actual Ferrari 458 Italia coupe.

Developed on latest dyno the tuner raised the serial V8 power from 570 hp up to 620 hp and boosts around 100 lb of torque extra as well. Responsible for this increasement is a weight optimized, handcrafted high-end exhaust system with valve flaps and manifolds. The full system got thermic optimizing heat protection covers. The systems optimized flow is adapted to an ecu upgrade resulting in that enormous 620 hp. Afterwards the performance package is installed the sprint from 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) is done within 3,32 sec.

An also important component of this upgrade is represented due to the upgraded forged multipiece wheels 6Sporz˛. The 21 inch sizing weight optimized wheels are coming 9,0x21 at the front and 12,5x21 inch at the rear wearing 245/30/21 and 345/25/21 Hankook high performance rubbers. Personal individualization got nearly unlimited opportunities due to colour and surface combinations and is additionally multiplied by offering also individualized design-apps, to be mounted at the spoke openings. All high quality wheels are handcrafted exclusively with components Made in Germany.

No... no, no, no, no, no...

It's like they started with Salma Hayek, and decided to give her a potbelly.

No like the exterior.

I'll take the extra 50 horsepower and 100 lb. ft of torque, though.

They made it uglier. I didn't think that was possible.

The scuderia and F430 has it's own spot in Ferrari history and is was amazing for it's time!

This 458 looks meh, the stripe doesn't bother me but the rims look hideous! Also that much of a HP gain from an exhaust upgrade and fuel upgrade? Looks like ferrari engineers are SLACKING!

I think some different wheels would give the car a overall different look.
