Ferrari, PLEASE make a 458 Scuderia, for the love of god please do it! but dont change the body at all, just up the power and make it lighter
I think of monaco, the race, and all the sexy super cars that drive down the coast line there.. That's what a normal person should think of when hearing that, not any Ugly Chevy.
Really? When I think of a monte Carlo, I think of a redneck in NASCAR saying "ya the home depot monte Carlo ss did really well but we just couldn't pull out the win today"
Woah there fardin I wouldn't call the supercharged one terrible. For its time anyway.
Description: A Dutch visitor at the harrowed halls of Ferrari HQ in Maranello recently tweeted that he overheard discussions of the hardcore 458 getting the name Monte Carlo and packing as much as 620 horsepower. ...

please Ferrari, 750 Hp! If they do that (which wouldn't be very hard), and make it lighter, the Aventador will be eating it's dust, which Ferrari would get massive brownie points for
I bet they could do it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but oesn't the Oakley 458 make 620 with just ECU, exhaust, and intake mods? If those guys can pull it of, Ferrari engineers certainly can
That thing is basically equipped with an Indy racecar engine limited to 10 or 10.5 K Rpm (instead of 12 or 12.5 K) and like all racecar engines, it's unreliable as hell. The T1 even bursted into flames several times on TV shows like Top / Fifth Gear
More power is almost impossible without increasing the size of the cylinders.
Yeah but those small engines are turbocharged. Adding a turbocharger is the easy way to increase an engine's hp per liter ratio, but the 458 is like a Honda S2000 : naturally aspirated. Both already have a 120+ hp / L ratio, so getting even ...
Um, there are Mitsubishi 2.0 four pots putting out 500+ hp.. I don't think 620 will be unrealistic for that motor
Not sure if they can pull out 600+ hp from that engine. 570 hp from a 4.5 liter V8 is equal to a 126 hp / L ratio, the best ratio out there with the 500 hp flat six you can find in the GT3 RS 4.0. Maybe they'll have to increase it's volumetry...
I'd say they get about 40 hp increase if they recalibrate the ecu, upgrade the exhaust. In the end, these are FERRARI engineers and not some random so called *tuning firms*
The F430 Scuderia was 100 Kg lighter than the original model, so if they remove the same weight from the 458, an increase of (only) 20 hp is more than enough. Handling is more important than raw power.
The F70's engine is based on the F12's 6.3L V12... and the rumoured 900hp is with KERS. I'm guessing the 458 Monte Carlo or whatever it's called will be closer to 600hp
I doubt it'll be a 60hp increase. It won't be easy extracting this much power from a NA engine that already revv to 9000rpm
Description: Along with it we could expect the car to be lightened up thanks to a stripped-out interior and other parts, together with a tighter suspension and possibly upgraded brakes to keep it all in check. The...

I wish the price of these would come down. Seems like they have been in the 130-150k range for a long time.
This looks way better than the 360 but the 458 looks better than the 430 imo but i still love the 430
Funny cause my first thought when seeing this was Jeremy Clarkson calling it hideous with its tiny headlights and gaping air ducts. The 458 looks soo much better though!
its ferrari.. im pretty sure they could get by the issue of cracking paint on parts that flex..
Erich, because they bend so much paint will crack, plus some ppl (me) like the carbon fiber look
I don't see how people like those ugly carbon fiber pieces on the front I no they help downforce but why can't they be body colored
Very few things compare to the thrill of being amongst the greatest drivers at monaco
