Jump the queue for a Ferrari 458 Italia

Although the new supercar doesn’t officially go on sale in the UK until the end of May – the waiting list extends well beyond 2013 – there are currently two brand-new left-hand drive Ferrari 458 Italias for sale on Auto Trader.

It comes fitted with 20-inch Ferrari wheels, yellow brake callipers, yellow rev-counter, electro chromatic mirrors, sat-nav and Bluetooth.

For just £1,000 more, you can secure a Nero Daytona black example with Nero leather interior with yellow contrasting stitching, Nero leather headlining and yellow brake callipers.

It comes with 20-inch forged sports alloy wheels, yellow rev-counter, electric seats, parking sensors and carbon ceramic brakes.

Ferrari has fitted its latest two-seater with a new 563bhp 4.5-litre V8 engine that’s capable of sprinting from 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 202mph.

The Italians are very proud of the 458’s ‘green credentials’ with the supercar averaging a claimed 21.2mpg and emitting 307g/km of carbon dioxide.

This may not sound too impressive but, to put it into context, the slower and less powerful F430 it replaces emits 420g/km and averages 15.4mpg.

Both Ferrari 458 Italias have done just 100 miles and are advertised for sale by Autopia Cars of Enfield, Middlesex, for £238,990 and £239,900 respectively.

There are also currently more than 120 used Ferrari F430s for sale on Auto Trader, with prices starting at £73,995.
