The nose features a single opening for the front grille and side air intakes, with aerodynamic sections and profiles designed to direct air to the coolant radiators and the new flat underbody. The nose also sports small aeroelastic winglets which generate downforce and as speed rises deform to reduce the section of the radiator intake and cut drag.
The oil radiators for the F1 gearbox and the dual-clutch are situated in the tail and air is fed from two intakes on the top of the rear wings. This solution provides a base bleed effect, an aerodynamic function that was developed by Ferrari for the FXX and which reduces drag by feeding the hot air out of the radiators and into the slip stream.
A new Power On strategy has been developed for the E-Diff governing traction out of corners and is integrated with the F1-Trac logic, an evolution in the combined action of both systems which is also connected with the high-performance ABS control logic, which is specially set up for high-grip surfaces.
Compared to previous versions, E-Diff 3 delivers improved torque distribution coming out of corners (in Sport, Race, ESC Off and CST Off), which translates into improved grip, better roadholding and more progressive handling on the limit. The result is an improvement of 32 percent in longitudinal acceleration out of corners compared to previous models and a lap time at Fiorano of 1″ 25 seconds.
The 458 Italia’s engine sets a new benchmark for naturally aspirated production powertrains. Designed from the ground up, it achieves a remarkable 9,000 rpm – a first for any road car with this cylinder capacity. With a high 12.5:1 compression ratio, it delivers an impressive 570 CV. This translates to an extraordinary 127 cv/l, setting a new standard for naturally aspirated engines in production cars.
