Ferrari 458 'Monte Carlo' Tipped as Scuderia Successor
Continuing the tradition established by the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale and the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, this generation’s 458 will receive it’s own track-ready variant: the Monte Carlo.
It’s inevitable that the Italian automaker will release a track-focused variant of its production exotic road car, and when the 458 Monte Carlo becomes available it’ll have 600-hp or more, and sport a modified suspension setup. Also look for more aggressive bodywork and a lighter overall weight.
Those are the only details that have been released thus far on the upcoming track-ready 458 model, but we anticipate more to come from the Italian automaker in the near future.
