Power comes from a 4.5-liter V8 able to deliver 562 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque coupled to a revised dual-clutch gearbox. Behind the steering wheel is Stefano Gai, a champion driver who managed to win the Trofeo Pirelli Italia last year.

Additional features of the Ferrari 458 Challenge are some lightweight components for a better performance, 19-inch wheels with Pirelli tires, a race suspension including revised springs and bushings and a high performance braking system from the specialists at Brembo.
