The Ferrari 458 Italia is the successor to the F430 but it is based on an entirely new design while you can still clearly see the similarities in its shape. It uses F1 technology and a body computer system developed by Maneti Marelli. The Italia is “reasonably” priced at $233,509 and there is also a Spider version. The body was designed by Pininfarina and the interior was designed with feedback from Ferrari Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher (boss status).
