Renamed Forever to - The Douchmobile 458
A crane hoisted the car to the top of the wall and video of the event showed the blood-red Ferrari doing 360 degree turns, with cleaners trying in vain to scrub dark black tyre marks from the grey brick the following day.
The affected section near the eastern city's Gate of China, a renowned ancient ceremonial gateway, dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is said to be among the best preserved sections of the wall. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-05-10/china-sees-red-as-ferrari-damages-ancient-wall/4001968
458 GTC Infobox
Do you consider that the Racing version deserves it's own infobox? I believe only sport prototypes have their own infobox or at least that's what I've seen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.158.182.103 (talk) 00:35, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
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)
Units
Shoudn't downforce be measured in Newtons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.161.116 (talk) 20:31, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Strictly Speaking yes, but i think it isn't a bad idea to give it in kilograms, everyone knows how much that is. And the Guy's who know that it should be in Newton won't have any problem to Multiplicate it with 10 (9.81). so I think it's Okay as it is.--Wuestenschiff Dune-talk 10:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
Grammar in "Ferrari 458 Italia"
"Among one of the best" is sort of redundant and poor English usage. Recommend "Among the best" or "One of the best".

Return to conventional Naming?
Surely this article deserves a mention of Ferrari going back to old naming styles with the 458. Due to it using the numbering system of the dinos rather than the more recent previous Ferraris (F430, 360). i.e. 45 for a 4.5 litre and 8 for a V8. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fiat500isdabest (talk • contribs) 20:42, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
