    The 458 Italia is the replacement for the F430. Although the basic configuration sticks to established principles i.e an aluminium space-frame and mid mounted V8 powering the rear wheels, much of the 458 is entirely new.

    For starters, the engine is a 4.5-litre direct injection V8, related to that in California, but larger, producing much more power (562bhp) and revving higher (9000rpm).

    And like the California the power is channeled to the road through a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox, albeit with different ratios.

    Whats it like?

    At first relatively civilised, the idle smooth and calm. Itll get you noticed, but its no hell raiser. However, like most modern performance cars, the 458 has trick exhaust by-pass flaps, so theres a good chance with revs and throttle it will be more boisterous.

    The next thought, is how well the gearbox works, especially in the very ordinary roll of manoeuvring the 458 in traffic. Up in the hills though, Im keen to explore whether a twin-clutch gearbox can deliver the sense of occasion and drama expected of a 200mph+ Ferrari.

    To an extent it is a personal choice, and depends on whether you feel the jolt you get with a super-fast single clutch transmission - such as that fitted to the 430 Scuderia - to be a highlight or deficiency. Certainly the 458s DCT is much smoother and faster than the F1 box, and yet, in my opinion, feels no less mechanical.

    The gearbox is also well matched to the engine character, not only in its speed of reaction, but also its exactness. To get a handle on how much quicker the 458 is than the F430 you need to look not only at the jump in outright power (70bhp), but also where the power (and torque) is produced.

    From 3500rpm the 458s engine is already producing as much torque as the F430s and at 6500rpm has eclipsed its peak power. This is a Ferrari V8 even more zingy and soulful than before, but now with added mid-range punch. To boot, its cleaner and leaner than the old 4.3.

    Over the last 2000rpm, the energy and vigour is massively addictive. As is the noise. Any concerns over the timid idle have long since vanished, the 458 soundtrack not only ridiculously loud, but varied and with that shrillness only a flat crank Ferrari V8 can.

    If there is a downside, it is that that on the road there are precious few opportunities to use all 458s performance. Even in Italy. If youre lucky youll see all of second gear, and occasionally third, but, such is the extent of the rev range and force of 562bhp, by then youre really travelling.

    More so than the styling, or engine performance, the one component that describes the biggest advance over the old car, is the confidence you get in 458s front end. And this not simply a matter of more outright grip, but more consistency and better communication.

    Given the California exists to offer a more comfort orientated Ferrari, you might expect 458 to be ask more compromises than its predecessor. It doesnt. Road and wind noise are very acceptable, and the ride calm.
    Should I buy one?

    If you can run to the estimated £160,000 Ferrari is asking, there are few reasons not to. The price may be higher than the old F430, but the 458 is a much more complete package. Not only faster, but more accomplished and more entertaining.
