Oakley Design Tweaks the 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia

Limited to just five cars, each bearing a unique number plaque, a new conversion kit for the Ferrari 458 Italia had recently been released by the team at Oakley Design. However, aside from the limited edition model, there will also be individual parts made available for those that do not want the whole package.

Aerodynamic changes include a new carbon-fibre front spoiler lip, a centrally positioned radiator vent, deeper, wider side sills, a longer but lighter carbon-fibre rear diffuser, as well as a new rear spoiler with Gurney flap.

The car’s good looks are given by the Oakley Design carbon-fibre roof panel, mirror covers and engine cover insert below the rear window glass. These are matched in the engine bay by carbon-fibre panels covering the inner wings and rear bulkhead.

The tuners also applied a new complete titanium exhaust system with triple outlet pipes and a lower kerb weight.

Creating the physical and visual connection to the road are the 9.0J x 20-inch and 11.0J x 20-inch wheels with 245/35ZR20 and 305/35ZR20 tires. However, the team also offers a choice of 9.0J x 19-inch and 11.0J x 19-inch OZ Racing wheels shod with the New Pirelli Trofeo tires.

Performance wise, an ECU remap boosts the power from 570 bhp to 627 bhp, while torque is pushed from 540 Nm to 567 Nm. With 65 kilos less and a bit more powerful, the factory 3.4 sec 0-100km/h time drops to around 3.0sec, while top speed has been rated at over 330km/h.
