The Ferrari 458 Italia have recently been awarded Supercar of the Year and Car of the Year by BBC Top Gear Magazine.

Here’s a quote from the article in carbodydesign.com:

Not only did the British magazine nominate the 458 Italia “Supercar of the Year”, but also, for the very first time for Ferrari, the coveted title of “Car of the Year”.

Following an extensive international media test drive programme in Maranello, the home of the Prancing Horse, the car has been the subject of enthusiastic reviews, with its handling, roadholding, ride comfort and performance all being subject to the kind of superlatives rarely seen from the world’s leading journalists.

In electing the Ferrari 458 Italia as their “Supercar of the Year”, BBC Top Gear Magazine underlined how it has established “the new benchmark in getting from A to B as rapidly as possible.” They also described the 570-hp V8-engined berlinetta as “a game-changing car.”

BBC Top Gear Magazine described how it became “our winner because the scope of its abilities is absolutely breathtaking”, concluding that the Ferrari 458 Italia “isn’t just a worthy winner, it’s off the scale!”

Now I’ve seen plenty of really nice shots of the 458 Italia but these set has gotsta be the best in the bunch.
