Ferrari 458 2011–2015 car dimensions: 4527 mm long, 1937 mm wide and 1211 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,535 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 230 litres.
The cabin focuses on the driver with almost all controls on the steering wheel, including the manettino for driving modes. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard. Infotainment uses twin TFT displays beside the central tachometer for navigation, media, phone and vehicle data, controlled by knobs rather than a touchscreen. Bluetooth and USB/iPod connections are available. Parking sensors and a reversing camera are optional extras. No advanced driver aids like AEB, blind spot warning or lane keep are fitted.
Front boot holds 230 litres, enough for a couple of soft bags or a weekly shop for two. An extra 58-litre shelf sits behind the seats for small items or matching luggage.
The cabin feels driver-focused with leather and Alcantara trim, dual-zone climate control and supportive bucket seats. The aluminium retractable hardtop closes in 14 seconds for strong thermal and noise isolation, while an adjustable electric rear window cuts buffeting top-down. Optional full-electric seats add multi-way power, lumbar, side bolsters and heating. Headroom suits tall occupants thanks to the roof curvature.

The 4.5-litre V8 runs on premium unleaded. Official combined fuel use is 11.8 l/100 km and CO2 is 275 g/km when the optional HELE package is fitted. The 86-litre tank includes a 16-litre reserve.
Scheduled servicing is required once a year or every 20 000 km, whichever comes first. Oil and filter changes form the core of each visit. belts, plugs and fluids follow fixed multi-year intervals. The chain-driven engine avoids belt replacement costs common on earlier Ferraris.
Standard safety kit includes dual front airbags, side airbags, pretensioned belts, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, F1-Trac traction control and high-performance carbon-ceramic brakes with Pre-Fill. Rear buttresses act as rollover protection. No official star crash rating is published for this generation.
Keep the car with full dealer or specialist history. Annual inspections catch fluid degradation even at low mileage. Tyres wear quickly. expect frequent replacements. Protective films and genuine accessories help preserve bodywork and value.
