Ferrari 458 Italia '09
Initially I had bought this car purely for completing the Italian trophy in A-spec. In fact I felt that I had made a grave mistake for not choosing the Scuderia instead because the Italia was somewhat inferior despite being more expensive, powerful and lighter.
Anyhow, the Italia was given the all-round makeover. It now turns and handles like a Ferrari should, but its not as raw as a F430 Scuderia or the F40.
Ferrari 458 Italia '09
HP: 724

Requirements:
- All engine modifications
- All chassis modifications (I've read that stiffening the chassis has made it worse off, so I don't recommend it if you haven't bought it yet)
- Turbochargers are optional but I don't recommend it as it taints the car's actual performance. There are no charger kits for 458 Italia. -Ecchi

The car is mighty quick on the straights, eating all 7 gears like a glutton. You kind of lose perception of speed on long straights, so give ample braking time, you will have to choose your racing lines with particular attention because the 458 is akin to a princess - but there's no beauty that have not some flaws! When right, it will give you a smile.
Enjoy!
