2010 Ferrari 458 Italia by Fabspeed Motorsport

Ferrari is the one major Italian sports car company that is known for its high performance supercars. There is a common perception in people when they hear news surrounding the Ferrari 458 Italia that another car caught fire today. But this will not remain the same for longer period of time as Ferrari has already revoked the affected cars, so we can expect something good to come about. One such effort is made by Fabspeed Motorsport who is customizing the 458 Italia under the hood.

Fabspeed began their work from overhauling the inner workings of the 458 Italia. What they did, they replaced the OEM units with an efficient and effective manifold. New sport headers added which are larger in diameter, i.e. 1.75-inch/44mm compared to 1.5-inch/38mm. These headers are lighter in weight than the factory products, i.e. 13lbs. These slight tweaks add 34HP and 38 ft-lb torque to the wheels. Make this thing clear here that we are talking about wheels and not the power to the crank. Using the new headers with OEM catalytic converters or Fabspeed 200 cell Sportcats can further boost the power with an extra 24HP and 20ft-lb to the wheels.

Other modifications that have been done by the Fabspeed include the replacing of the large OEM mufflers with Maxflo mufflers that give an extra 8HP and 5ft-lb to the wheels. These mufflers are so designed that they can be used with OEM tri-tips or Fabspeed’s “458 Challenge” dual-tips that are made from 4.5-inch/1155, T304 stainless steel with carbon fiber at the back.

In the end what we got is the grand 518HP to the wheels. This will produce about 630HP to the crank as well, a remarkable improvement over the standard 570HP. This is an amazing piece of work that is brought to us by Fabspeed. Now everyone certainly wants to take a full advantage of this massive Ferrari 458 Italia as new 458 Italia has been revised not to burst into the flames.
