Video: Mind-blowing Ferrari 458 Italia in action

Wow! That's all I can say. This has to be one of the best car video's I've ever seen.

Ferrari is showing off the 562 horsepower car with improvements to fuel consumption and CO2 emissions that, they say, sets "the benchmark in this segment." Using a mid-rear mounted 4.5-liter V8 engine, the 458 goes from 0-100 km/h in under 3.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 325 km/h. The driver controls the engine with the Getrag F1 transmission, a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It has a 407 hp to tonne power-to-weight ratio, with a dry weight of about 1380 kg.

Don't take my word for it, crank up the volume and check out the amazing video below to see for yourself!
