Nissan GT-R Smacks Ferrari 458 on the Highway, But Fails Miserably on a Twisty Road


The Nissan GT-R is something like a poor-man's supercar – and there is nothing wrong with that in our book. It has beaten/embarrassed vehicles costing several times as much on more occasions that we can care to remember.

However, sometimes we tend to forget that being fast is as much about the car as it is about the driver. Case in point, a friendly road race between an SP Engineering-prepped Nissan GT-R and a Ferrari 458 Italia.

We’ve already shown you the 570HP race-spec Ferrari 458 Challenge lapping the Monza circuit, but we're pretty sure you won't mind another clip of Maranello's finest. This time Ferrari's 458-based racer is at the Homestead racetrack in Miami, Florida, with Harry Cheung at the steering wheel. Click the jump to watch the video.

Ferrari 458 Italia Re-imagined by French Designer


Almost everyone who has laid eyes on the Ferrari 458 Italia's bodywork will agree that it is a work of art. Even though Ferrari’s people claim that it was function, and especially aerodynamics, that dictated many elements of the 458 Italia's shape, it is perhaps one of the most striking supercars currently on sale along with the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4.

Surely, no one would dare suggest otherwise, right? Well, not so fast. Olivier Demangel is a French designer and 3D artist who lives in London has cooked up three proposals for a redesigned 458 Italia.

Fernando Alonso Drives the New Ferrari 458 Spider


Ferrari Formula One driver Fernando Alonso temporarily left the seat of his racing car to try out Maranello's new 458 Spider, which will be officially presented at the IAA Frankfurt next Tuesday.

The Spaniard, complete with all the necessary marketing decals strategically positioned on his clothing (really, do these guys ever go out without looking like a walking billboard?) took the roofless supercar for a spin out in Italy.

You can watch him driving the 458 Spider for yourself in the video after the break.

Ferrari 458 Italia Spider

A Ferrari divulga primeiras imagens da 458 Italia Spider, a versão conversível do 458 Italia. O modelo usa sistema de teto rígido retrátil, substituindo a capota de lona, o sistema leva 14 segundos para ser recolhido para dentro do porta-malas.



O 458 Spider consegue manter as mesmas marcas do 458 Italia, levando o Spider de 0 a 100 km/h em apenas 3,4 segundos. A velocidade máxima foi um pouco reduzida chegando a máxima de 320 km/h, 5 km/h a menos.



A Ferrari ainda garante a possibilidade de realizar conversas no interior do veiculo até 200 km/h, pois até esta velocidade a turbulência não atinge o interior do 458 Italia Spider.
