The Ferrari 458 Italia,
which was unveiled just over a year ago at the Frankfurt
IAA, continues to receive important accolades. Just last
night the sports car won its sixth important award of
2010 when it was named Super Sportscar of the Year
at a ceremony in Shanghai.
The Best of the Best
Award came courtesy of the editors at the
prestigious international Robb Report China
magazine. They were flanked in their decision-making by
a panel of automotive experts and chose the 458 Italia
over the many competitors in the super sports car
category.
In the twelve months since its unveiling the 458 Italia
has earned widespread critical and public acclaim, not
merely in response to high profile achievements such as
being named Car of the Year by BBC Top Gear
Magazine, but also as a result of its performance in
very tough test-drives on both track and road.
In recent months, the
mid-rear engined 8-cylinder has undergone in-depth
specialist testing right across the globe which have
highlighted its exceptional performance standards and
superlative driving pleasure. Recently the British car
magazine, Autocar, described it thus: "The 458
Italia is the new sportscar benchmark."
