Ferrari 458 Italia Configurator

In the midst of all the IAA 2009 press releases, Ferrari managed to find time to give us an online 458 Italia configurator. Along with the new peak into what the option’s list will be, they offered us a few more photo’s which we’ve included at the end of this post.

To get you started we’ve included a few pictures of our 458 Italia, inside and out! We started off with a Nero exterior alongside some 20-inch forged sport rims. Next we chose to add an Argento Alluminio colouring to the brake callipers and ticked the tyre pressure check, Scuderia shields, front and rear parking sensors and the rest of the options.

The interior was the tricky part. We’ve never really had a thing for Ferrari interiors. However, after a running through the options we went two-tone with Nero as our main colour and Sabbia to finish it off! Bianco stitching seemed to look fine so we ticked that box. We stuck to all the standard colours after this and finished our 458 Italia off with Alcantara arm rest’s, Ipod connection and Sat-Nav!

Short of a test drive or actually owning one, this is the next best thing... the official Ferrari 458 Italia Movie! As we've seen this past week the new Fezza has made it's public debut at this year's Frankfurt Auto Show.

It's the official movie for the F430 replacement as is surprisingly good! It's not full of cheesy-ness and features a red and yellow 458 on a race track in a toe-to-toe battle. Filmed on the Mugello circuit in the Tuscan hills the two cars "play" together for a lap of the track.

Seeing the car in action and hearing the wonderful 4.5 liter V8 using every last one of its 562 horsepower is a treat, and I have personally watched this film, well... several times.

Enjoy the movie, it helps if your volume knob goes up to 11, and the slideshow!

Ferrari leaves Raikkonen's F1 future open

Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari


Ferrari left Kimi Raikkonen's future open to speculation Sunday despite the 2007 Formula One champion reaching the podium for a fourth straight race at the Italian Grand Prix.

Team principal Stefano Domenicali refused to say whether the Finn will drive for the team next year despite being under contract for 2010.

"I think that, as we have said, we don't want to discuss this now, because I don't think it is correct," Domenicali said.

Speculation is intense that Ferrari is set to hire two-time world champion Fernando Alonso from Renault, especially after the Italian team signed Spanish bank Banco Santander as a main sponsor for five years from 2010.

Raikkonen has single-handedly kept Ferrari third in the constructors' series thanks to his recent performances, including a victory at Belgium. Teammate Felipe Massa is still recovering from surgery on multiple skull fractures after a violent crash in Hungary, but is expected to return next year.

"We are happy with the performance of Kimi because he is playing fantastically, he is driving very, very well," Domenicali said.

Raikkonen beat McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Alonso by a single point to capture the world title in 2007.
