Ferrari has released a 458 Italia configurator and a new promotional video which shows the car's racing abilities.
While there's nothing groundbreaking about the configurator, it will likely placate your fantasy for Italian exotics. Users can choose from 26 different exterior colors, two 20-inch wheel designs, and five brake disc caliper colors. Inside, visitors can build an exclusive interior that reflects their personal sense of style.
With your dream car created, check out the video to see two 458 Italias doing 'hot laps' around Italy's Mugello racing circuit.
As we have previously reported, the 458 is powered by 4.5-liter V8 engine that produces 570 hp and 540 Nm of torque. The massive V8 is connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which enables the car to rocket from 0-100 km/h in less than 3.4 seconds. If you keep your foot planted, the Italia will eventually top out somewhere in the neighborhood of 325 km/h (202 mph).
