2016 Ferrari 458 Will Come with Turbocharged Engine The 458 Successor Goes.To illustrate this, we’ve brought along a video that shows a Ferrari 458 Speciale battling it out with a 430 Scuderia. The two engage in a rolling start drag race that takes place on an airfield, having plenty of space to stretch their mechanical legs.
The description above is enough to make for a spoiler, but as we said, the reason we’re here is to show you what happens when the offspring turns against the parent.
In theory, the 458 Speciale, which we drove last year, offers a power-to-weight ratio of 2.5 kg/hp, while the 430 Scuderia burdens each of its horses with 2.9 kilograms.The Ferrari 458 Speciale is not the kind of supercar you'd expect to see with comical foil wraps, but here we are with an example of the Italian exotic wearing a Minions outfit.
Before focusing your anger on its creators, you should know that it came to life to promote the Minions movie, as a PR stunt. It may appeal to youngsters, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we like it...However, despite the numerous Minions visible on its body, this hasn't affected that marvelous sound produced by the naturally aspirated V8 engine, as this video proves.
As for the quarter mile run, the newer Prancing Horse can complete the task in as low as 10.5 seconds, while the Scuderia incarnation of the 430 needs an extra 0.4 seconds for the job.
Interestingly enough, these two track specials are close in terms of top speed. While the Speciale was clocked as high as 327 km/h (203 mph), the Scuderia can climb to 322 km/h (200 mph).
Perhaps the greatest difference between the two comes in terms of gearbox. Sure, both place a pair of paddles at the driver’s disposal, but while the Scuderia features an automated manual, the Speciale comes with double-clutch setup.If you want to ensure that your kid grows up to be a gearhead, show them this video. It features an awesome car, the Ferrari 458 Speciale, with the most kid-friendly wrap on the planet. Yes, those are minions from the “Minions” movie and the “Despicable Me” series. According to the video description this car was given the wrap to promote the “Minions” movie, which means the owner is probably more a fan of money than the cutesy yellow characters that now adorn the supercar.The 430 has gone down in history as a revolutionary model for Maranello, not only thanks to introducing the paddle setup mentioned above but also thanks to its all-new 4.3-liter V8.
