...or a Japanese company for that matter.Image

And the interior is insane. The lines are all over the place and it doesn't look 'nice' or organized, especially with those air conditioning ducts.

Ferrari - 458 Italia: Permission to be Selfish

Could someone please enlighten me as to what the differences are between double and single stage DFI?

I Google'd the term but nothing relevant came up.

Sounds similar to that two-stroke direct-injection that was discussed in the forum maybe?

I'm guessing that it is similar to a multispark ignition system, whereas the fuel injector is opened up multiple times during a single intake stroke to improve fuel mixing and homogenous mixture.

And more Bullshit from Ferrari, my RX-7 spun up to 9000rpm back in 89 when it was first released, and has been since upgraded to rev past 10K.

It looked better in CGI.

It sems that Ferrari have totally eliminated the floor mounted shifter, is this new for this model?

@ Islamatron, maybe they are referring to their own production cars? :?

Watch the video on the second link. I thought the commentary was for a vampire flick, not so suited to the Bugatti, but that's just me.

And the Honda S2000 has a 9000rpm piston engine, a better comparison, that was out long before this car as well. They must be talking about their own cars, or it's just a silly claim.

I liked the F355 instantly, and when I saw the 360 I thought...meh... nice but not stunning... the F430 left a similar taste in my mouth. After seeing the F430 live though, it's is wider and lower than it seems on photos.

This F458 though, I liked instantly. Actually the California is not too shabby looking either... not crazy about the JLo type ass end though.
