2011 Ferrari 458 Italia by Specialty Car Craft

Amongst the many European tuners taking a crack at modifying the Ferrari 458 Italia, only a minuscule number of US tuners exist. For whatever reason, Americans tend to want to leave the Ferrari alone and bide their time making over our hometown muscle cars. That being said, Specialty Car Craft has done what only very few have by preparing a small tuning package for the Italian thoroughbred. Don’t expect any modifications to be found under the hood because, well, SCC just isn’t that crazy.

What you will find is a number of small exterior modifications that alter the look of the vehicle just enough to call it complete. Covering the full outside of the car is a black exterior paint job that spreads even to the pieces that were originally chrome; they are now covered in black chrome. The sportier wheels are now painted in a gunmetal gray and are highlighted with newly painted yellow brake calipers.

This particular 458 Italia was created upon request from a customer, proving that the man has fine taste when it comes to his automobiles. The sports car is powered by the standard 4,499 cc V8 engine that delivers a total of 570 HP at 9,000 rpm and a peak torque of 398 lb-ft at 6000 rpm. This power, plus the exquisite exterior modifications, results in a car that will make every American fall for an Italian.
