Unsurprisingly, given its power and performance, the 458 Italia is one of Ferrari’s most decorated and celebrated supercars in its history, winning both Car of the Year and Supercar of the Year on its launch year in 2009.
And as if to prove its speed advantage over its predecessors, on the fifteenth series of the popular BBC motoring show Top Gear in 2010, James May raced it against a 430 model in a drag race where it lapped their test track in 1:19:1, and Dunsfold Park - where the Top Gear test track is based - just so happens to be one of our many locations you can book to drive the 458 Italia at with TrackDays.
