The modern automobile industry charges forward so fast that it can be easy to miss when a yesterday’s crowd favorite suddenly fades into the background, phased out by a newcomer.
The Ferrari 458 Italia is a perfect example. Up until 2015, it has been at the center of everyone’s attention. In 2015, Ferrari announced the 488 GTB, which immediately stole the spotlight. At the Geneva show this spring, the 488 GTB itself yielded its popularity to the Ferrari F8 Tributo. Sic transit gloria mundi…
Fortunately for us, tuners like Supreme Power make efforts to keep things relevant with their upgrades. A few days ago, the firm launched a carbon-fiber body kit for the model and fitted it with nice forged rims for good measure.
The show car sports a widened front apron with larger air intakes, a stylish front spoiler, wider fender flares (with exposed bolts in the rear, but not the front), and longer side skirts. At the back, there is a downright brutal-looking diffuser and an elegant rear wing.
The stock wheels were traded for BBS E89 ones sporting golden spokes and high-polished rims. The racing-spec wheels allow a peek at the red performance brake calipers.
Outfitted like this, we are positive the Ferrari 458 Italia will stay relevant a while longer!
