Introducing you to the exquisite Ferrari 458 Italia! In Ferrari speak, the 4 and the 5 refers to the 4.5l engine and the 8 is for V8. Driving one of these superb Italian supercars is super exciting and we have three and six-mile drives at circuits around the UK for you.
Waxing lyrical about the 458 when it was launched as the successor to the F430, a certain car journalist called Jeremy Clarkson commented: 'A modern Ferrari feels like no other car on the road. It feels miles better. And this one? Oh, this is the best of the lot'. Praise indeed then, from someone who has owned and driven a fair few cars in his time.
So why is the Ferrari 458 so revered? Well, just look at it. Some say the rear view is the best. Nothing like provoking a sense of jealousy when there's a Ferrari in front of you on the road is there? All the Pininfarina classic lines are there. It's sleek, it's curvy and it's a thing of beauty to look at, with that famous prancing horse right in the middle of the boot. But is it equally beautiful to drive?
In a word, yes. Driving a 458 takes some getting used to though. For a start, all the controls are on the steering wheel. And that includes everything from wipers and indicators, to the start button and a very intriguing switch selector that displays Race, Wet and Sport modes. Behind the two seats is the engine and it even has its own window so you can just look and drool at it!
The engine is without doubt a masterpiece. The 458 was the first Ferrari to introduce newer technology such as E-Diff and F1-Trace to assist drivers. And did we mention this devilishly good looking car is rear wheel drive? Woohoo! It's going to be an epic drive.
Buy your voucher for a Ferrari 458 drive and you'll soon be whizzing along the tarmac everywhere from Dunsfold and Brands Hatch, to Mallory Park and Oulton Park.
