Ferrari has confirmed that the replacement for its F430 will be dubbed the 458 Italia. The 4.5L V8-powered prancer, pictured here in shots from spy photographer Brenda Priddy, is reported to have the highest specific power output of any road car in the world at 127 hp per liter. Doing the math, that's a hair over 570 hp at a screaming 9,000 RPM.
It's expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
