Ferrari 458
The Ferrari 458 Italia is one of the world’s quickest sports cars, as would be expected from the exotic European brand. The Ferrari 458 Italia delivers 562 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque from a 4.5-litre V8 engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. The rear-wheel drive Ferrari reaches 100 km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds, and features a race-ready suspension system that gives it extraordinary prowess on the track.
