The World Car of the Year awards are highly coveted globally and in the Performance Car category, the Ferrari 458 Italia has walked away with the top honours.The Ferrari 458 Italia was chosen from an initial entry list of fourteen new cars from all over the world to finally be crowned 2011 Performance Car of the Year. The Ferrari 458 Italia piped the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and the Porsche 911 Turbo, which were also considered amongst the top three finalists for this coveted award.
“Our goal in engineering the 458 Italia was to match the technology and extreme performance developed for our racing activities with the demands of our drivers, who wish to enjoy their cars on the road and experience the unique emotions that only a Ferrari can provide" said Marco Mattiacci, President and CEO, Ferrari North America. “Today's award as 2011 World Performance Car makes us very proud and confident that we achieved our goals” concluded Mattiacci.
Voicing their opinion, the jurors on board for this year’s World Car Awards stated that the 458 just happens to be brilliant both on and off the track. It’s 570 metric horsepower engine is far superior to the competiting V8 engines and considering all the technology on board, the 458 Italia is one of the finest thoroughbred GTs to roll out of the Ferrari Factory. It’s a car that takes motoring to a whole new limit and all this is coupled with a very beautiful sounding engine!
I want one!!! :-)
