Ferrari 458 Italia Engine Animation - Transcript
The Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferraris latest extreme sports car. Watch here how Shell fuels and lubricants work inside the engine to produce groundbreaking performance figures.
The latest Shell engine animation takes you inside the new Ferrari 458 Italia engine. The innovative Ferrari 458 Italia has become an immediate market leader due to its exceptional performance figures, (Direct Fuel Injection, 4.5 litre V8, 570hp at 9,000rpm, total power output of 127hp/litre, fuel consumption of 13.31/100km and CO2 emissions of 307 g/km), stunning looks and Shell aided development. This animation shows how Shell V-Power and Shell Helix work within the high performance V8 of the 458 Italia to maximize lubrication, protection and performance.

|---|---|
| 3 – 11 seconds | Shell’s technical partnership with Scuderia Ferrari at the Formula One track, provides an extreme test bed on which to test fuels and lubricants. The learnings taken from this are transferred to the development of Shell products for the road. |
| 12 – 22 seconds | Engine Noise |
| 23- 28 seconds | What Shell continuosly learns at the Formula One track, with Scuderia Ferrari, has been put into the 458 Italias engine. |
| 29 – 41 seconds | Shell Helix circulates around the engine and its critical components not only giving the optimum combination of friction reduction and protection against wear in all parts but also engine cooling. |
| 42 – 56 seconds | For years Shell scientists have worked alongside Ferrari engineers during development of new Ferrari engines, helping Ferrari to reduce internal friction using Shell Helix Lubricants and maximize engine performance using the latest generation of Shell V-Power fuels. |
| 57 – 1.16 seconds | Air is drawn in past the inlet valve and Shell V-Power sprayed into the cylinders. On ignition, the fuel/air mixture combusts and the pressure created forces the piston down turning the crankshaft. Shell V – Power is designed to maximize the power output of the 458 Italia’s V8 engine and contributes to its market leading performance figures. |
| 1.17 – 1.20 seconds | Engine Noise |
