Ferrari 458 Italy
The Ferrari 458 Italia is an expression of the most advanced concept of sportiness, it represents the ultimate eight-cylinder supercar and is the complete essence of what a Ferrari should be: power, extreme technology, pure driving pleasure. The 458 Italia affirms a new philosophy: lighter, faster and more respectful of the environment. Created to be even more extreme than the successful F430, the Italia doesn’t sacrifice driving pleasure in traffic or at low speeds. The 458 Italia is built using the most advanced engine, chassis and aerodynamic technology ever developed by Ferrari, a feature that is due in part to working closely with the F1 team to combine exceptional performance with reduced fuel consumption and emissions. The new 4,499cc V8 engine is a real powerhouse, with an output of 570hp. Equipped with the F1 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the 458 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of over 202 mph. Ferrari Silicon Valley is accepting interest list requests for the 458 Italia.

Ferrari 599 GTO:
The 599 GTO is a combination of some of the best Ferrari technology from Formula One and road cars and occupies a niche between the 599 GTB and 599 XX. More menacing and less refined than a GTB, less strident than an XX. This car is the best expression of a sports car that Ferrari has ever produced. A 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 670 hp at 8,500 rpm and 457 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm and is capable of impressive acceleration figures from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.35 seconds. The engine is paired with a six-speed F1 gearbox, which has the same 60-millisecond shift times as the 599XX. The car has a curb weight of just 3,538 pounds. Only 599 cars will be produced and there are several custom colors and two-tone paint finishes exclusive to this GTO model. Designed by Pininfarina, the front, sides and rear are bolder and more aggressive than its parent. Inside, a Virtual Race Engineer allows the driver to monitor the condition of the car and its performance. The extensive use of carbon fiber is evident, including in the cabin, where it is used both to reduce weight and as a design element. Ferrari’s dedication to the GTO model is legendary, with two previous models highly revered. The three iconic letters, representing Gran Turismo Omologato, summon the spirit of the original 250 GTO from 1962, the 288 GTO that helped spawn the era of modern supercars, and the F40, the fastest street-legal production car of 1987 to 1989 and the most expensive. model at that time. The 250 GTO won no less than three World Sportscar Championships in a row and is today the most coveted collector’s car on the market.
