Following the first images released a while ago, Twin-Turbo specialist Underground Racing has released a video showing the Ferrari 458 Italia Twin-Turbo program and you can watch it here.
Keep in mind that Ferrari 458 Italia, as standard, is powered by a 4.5 liter V8 engine that features direct fuel injection, which is a first for Ferrari mid-rear engine setups in its road cars. In addition comes the standard transmission, which is a Getrag dual-clutch seven-speed transmission.
In order to improve the overall performances, this kit includes a Twin Turbo system with a stock engine as stage 1. A custom built engine with Twin Turbo system will be stage 2.
The 458 Italia, equipped with Underground Racing’s Stage 1 twin-turbo system, stomps out an amazing 700 rear-wheel horsepower on pump 93 octane fuel, an increase 130hp.
“Even though we were extremely impressed with the handling and all the other cool features of the 458, we knew there was something missing. So it was then time for the Underground Racing team to design a 458 Twin Turbo system. As the pictures show, this is what we came up with. We will have a Twin Turbo system with a stock engine as Stage 1. The built engine with Twin Turbo system will be stage 2.”
