On 25 April, the Ferrari will be celebrated a momentous anniversary: 50 years after first winning a single seat rear engine of Horse, which took place at the 1961 Syracuse Grand Prix, with Giancarlo Baghetti the wheel of a 156 entered by the Scuderia Sant'Ambroeus. The event is remembered in a rather unique: it must, in fact, private initiative of a company to the tune of half a century celebration of Ferrari won ...
with oxen pushing the cart, to paraphrase an expression used by Enzo Ferrari. At the Geneva Motor Show, the stand of the Swiss Ferrari Mansory displays a sample of 458 Italian magazine from scratch. This is the 458 Italy "Syracuse", which sits alongside the achievements "extreme" proposals from the tuner (Maserati GranTurismo Coupe, Bugatti Veyron, "will win", Rolls Royce Ghost) and the Geneva festival, offers a second key achievement in the tuning 458 (the other is the Novitec Rosso).
The design element that draws the most attention is the large front apron (which is clearly inspired by the Enzo), developed - explain the technical experts - to give the GT Maranello not only look even more "extreme", but , because of the unusual air intakes and the new front cover, "a greater aerodynamic efficiency." This is reflected in the presence of "skirts" side, designed to limit the flow of air between the front and rear suspension and improved engine cooling ducts integrated with the new.
The aerodynamic kit, full carbon, is completed with a rear diffuser, new design, developed to blend at high speed with the rear wing. According Mansory, trim styling of the 458 GT Italy Siracusa allows a saving of 70 kg compared to the standard version (1280 kg compared to 1350). The circles in central nut, also made by the same Mansory, are 9x20 front (with Michelin PS2 245/354 ZR20) and 11x21 rear (tires 305/30 ZR21).
The mechanics, reviewed with the introduction of a high performance air filter and a whole new exhaust system, gives the V8 4.5 liter 20 hp more: the power goes, so, from 570 to 590 hp and the torque increases from 540 to 560 Nm Top speed has not been declared (we think it will be, as for the 458 list in the order of 325 to 330 km / h).
Improve a little acceleration from 0 to 100, which has 3.4 seconds (already a major achievement) drops to 3.2 seconds. The interior is characterized by unusual stylistic imprint, evident in the characteristic pattern of instrumentation and center console, which follow the plain outside.
Also a new sports steering wheel. To carry out the tuning kits - which were announced Mansory, seems to be made in small batches - the tuner announced a generous use of carbon, high-quality leather and suede. To conclude: if the concept has always accompanies each creation Ferrari, means "state of the art automotive technology, the 458 Siracusa Italy can leave fans puzzled.
Steps for choosing the brand new aerodynamic solutions, but the "shading" in place of the rear window, lavistosissima color "yellow highlighter" and carbon and, above all, the replacement of the Prancing Horse emblems on the sides with "badges" Mansory, we think of elements bad taste. The 50 years since the victory of Ferrari Grand Prix of Syracuse would have deserved a celebration ...
