The Italians from Ferrari released a new video with a model running the Monza track in Italy. We talk about Ferrari’s 458 Challenge, a model based on the 458 Italia but slightly improved to fit the track requirements.
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.
The video gets even more interesting due to the fact that we get a dual view, in the left side we are able to see the track the same as the driver does but also a view of the Italian champion driver. Let’s watch together the on board video with the Italian racer based on the current 458 Italia.
