Naming convention

Ferrari has stated that the name is 458 Italia, so therefore the article should include this full name, similar to the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Ferrari 575M Maranello, and the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, who also include the full official name as the article title. I'll perform the move to the official full name of the 458 Italia soon. Also, some editors are referring to the car as the F458, probably as a reference to it's predecessor the F430, however since Ferrari does not mention the "F" in the 458 Italia name, it shouldn't be included. I've already fixed those that I've found, but be on the lookout and edit where necessary. - Mtmelendez ^(Talk) 15:23, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Units

Shoudn't downforce be measured in Newtons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.161.116 (talk) 20:31, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ferrari F142

The Ferrari F142 is not another name for protos of the 458 Italia, it is a planned successor to the Ferrari F430 as is the 458 Italia, Please do not redirect the F142 article again as it has no relation to the 458 Italia other than the fact tha both a concepts and chosen successors to the F430 (and they're both a helluva lot better looking than some of the other protos I've seen). Again please do not delete the F142 article. Please leave a message on my talk page with any comments or questions. --Bismarck43 (talk) 18:51, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source for that? I was under the impression that the F142 was a prototype to the 458. swaq 20:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
