Ferrari lifted the covers from the 458 Italia at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. It would later be joined by Spider and Speciale variants, though its “Italia” designation was reserved for the launch-specification coupé. The 458 Italia was the heir to Ferrari’s rear-mid mounted V-8 platform, directly succeeding the popular 430 Scuderia, and quickly gaining plaudits for its thrilling driving characteristics attributed to its award-winning Tipo F136 powertrain.

The example offered here was delivered to Sa.Mo.Car SpA, the official Ferrari concessionaire in Rome, and was later reacquired by the Ferrari factory. The 458 Italia was subsequently bought from Maranello by a Ferrari dealership in Poland and has not been privately owned since. As a result it is still registered in the name of Ferrari SpA.

The car is finished in Rosso Corsa over an attractive Cuoio leather interior, and wears desirable specification options including 20-inch diamond-cut forged alloy wheels, colour-coded interior stitching, Daytona-style seats, leather headlining, and a multimedia system featuring parking camera with sensors and satellite navigation. The odometer reads only 1,011 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.

Customers who missed out on acquiring a 458 Italia during its 15,000-car production run need look no further than this barely used Ferrari, surely the next best alternative.
