Ferrari 458 Italia Engine Animation
The Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari's latest extreme sports car. Watch here how Shell fuels and lubricants work inside the engine to produce groundbreaking performance figures.
A step forward in power and performance, the 458 Italia marks a definitive moment in the history of Ferrari. With the development of the ‘Direct Fuel Injection’ system in the Ferrari California, the new 458 Italia boasts a 4.5 litre V8 engine that produces an astonishing 570hp at 9000rpm, a total power output of 127hp/litre, fuel consumption of 13.31/100km and CO2 emissions of 307 g/km (the best in the entire segment).
Few cars have broken the mould like the 458 Italia and Shell’s contribution to its performance extends far beyond supplying Shell V-Power fuel and Shell Helix motor oil for its testing.
Shell scientists work alongside Ferrari mechanics in Formula One™ track labs and at the Ferrari headquarters in Maranello to develop race winning fuels and lubricants; the learning’s from this are then transferred to Ferrari road cars. Watch how Shell V-Power and Shell Helix work inside the powerful V8 engine of the 458 Italia to enhance engine performance and minimise friction.
