  • Ferrari 458 Speciale

    Ferrari recently confirmed it plans to give each of its models a shelf life of about eight years, but will also give them a significant update—or “modificato” as Ferrari describes it—midway through their product cycles to keep ‘em fresh and allow a ‘new’ model to be released every year. We’ve already seen this with the transition of the California to the latest California T, and the next model due is an updated 458 Italia. Set to arrive in 2015, the updated 458, code-named the 458M, is expected to receive a new turbocharged engine. However, this...
