ENGINE

The Ferrari 458 Italia features an impressive V8 engine which is harnessed to deliver speed that is guaranteed to delight any supercar enthusiast. The 4499 V8 engine is rear mounted allowing the car to benefit from the impressive direct injection system inside the engine. For Ferrari fans the engine is the key factor considered when it comes to giving the final verdict on the supercar. The V8 engine of the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider comes highly rated with an astonishing torque capability of 540 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The engine of this Ferrari also allows drivers to engage the motorway full throttle at a top speed of 202 mph and acceleration stats from 0 - 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. The Spider is a premium car hire choice for motorists who want to reach the pinnacle of supercar enjoyment on the open road.

 
PERFORMANCE

This Ferrari V8 engine is enhanced by the introduction of GDI with Split Injection, an innovative technique aimed at advancing how the engine performs when put under real driving under pressure. Motorists looking a high performing supercar during car hire rental want to be reassured that the engine of the car they have chosen is up to the task. This is where the V8 engine steps in as the perfect choice. The GDI with Split Injection feature injects fuel in two intermittent levels. This feature of the engine has two positive side-effects: improving the torque of the Spyder and the combustion efficiency capabilities of the supercar.

 

 
EFFICIENCY

The efficiency of the V8 engine is self-evident as it prevents spillage of excess oil. Drivers who choose the Ferrari Spider for a self drive rental will receive value and worth because at the heart of this Ferrari supercar lays an engine which is specifically designed to give motorists the best there is. Within the engine, there are special recovery ducts which are linked to the sets of the cylinders of the engine which shield oil from spillage which act as a barrier against any chances of excess oil spilling from the sump of the engine. This innovation from Ferrari illuminates the marque's commitment to creating a well-oiled engine that does not waste its abilities. The lightweight nature of the V8 engine will come as a welcome surprise to many Ferrari car hire enthusiasts. Motorists have the exhaust system of the engine to thank for the weight of the V8 engine. As you drive the 458 Spider each day during your car hire period, you will notice how complex and layered the engine is from the soft purr it makes on the road to the roar as you accelerate. Friction is one aspect of the engine mechanics that supercar designers look to minimise. The Ferrari engineers have gone one step further: scavenge pumps have been installed in the V8 engine to tackle this issue. There are four scavenge pumps assigned to the cylinder block of the Spider which lessen the impact of pressure from friction.
