Ferrari Fever: The 458 Italia

Ferrari has announced the new 458 Italia. This two seater will be introduced in September at the Frankfurt Auto Show and is powered by a 4.5 liter, 562 hp V8 which will take it from zero to sixty in 3.4 seconds and to a top speed of 202 mph.

Price is not announced, but will probably approach $200k. (That's about $1000 for each mile per hour of top speed. What if a $25k Honda would only go 25 mph?

It's billed as a replacement for the F430, so I think I'd better go look in the garage and see if I've got one of those 430's that I'll want to trade up. (pause) No, nothing out there. I think I'll pass on it. I'd just get into trouble with something that fast. And expensive. Maybe you'll let me drive yours once in a while.
