According to international recognition for. their finely honed Porsche GT2, GT3 and Panamera conversions, Oakley Design is now proud to announce their tuning programme for the Ferrari 458 Italia. The production is only five cars, each of which is limited to a single building plate number.

Outside this limited edition model of the individual parts are also available to customers who do not need the complete package. With Jon Oakley’s motorsport background central to the company’s philosophy, any change, whether aerodynamic or mechanical, is only done for sound technical reasons.

Tests in the wind tunnel showed that the carbon front spoiler added 45 kg of downforce on the front with 150 mph (240 kmh), while the race car-style central air cooler now the vents on the hood rather than under the car. This will also contribute to the flow of ventilation air at the base of the windshield to increase the aerodynamic benefit.

Other management internal air flow is in the output channels of the cooler air, in addition to the lights, get a carbon fiber inserts and improved radiator pipes seen.
Deep improved, wider side sills, cars control airflow through the bands, and help optimize the effect of flat bottom. But carbon fiber diffuser and rear light is deeper than the boundary layer fences to improve directional stability. Finally, add a new rear bumper with a Gurney flap 25 kg of downforce at the rear at 150 mph. This works together with the underbody diffuser to reduce the Italia’s overall drag by smoothing out the separating airflow

The only external changes are made for aesthetic reasons Oakley signature design carbon roof, mirror covers and engine cover insert below the rear window. These are matched in the engine compartment with carbon panels for interior and closing rear wings. Low performance improved automatic tare and less stressful for the suspension, tires and brakes. The full titanium exhaust system with a drain valve and triple bypass a large 30kg unshaven Italy, the rear section of AM in the counts.

At half the weight of the equivalent alloy, save the design of Oakley signature lightweight composite wheels, a significant 8.0 kg of unsprung weight per corner. Made in the UK, this two-piece wheels Magnesium alloy center married with a carbon rim.Their adjusted offset keeps the wheel centre line the same as OE to compensate for the half-inch wider footprint at each corner.
Oakley Design plan to offer 9.0J x 20-inch and 11.0J x 20-inch wheels with 245/35ZR20 and 305/35ZR20 tyres, as well as one-inch diameter smaller 9.0J x 19-inch and 11.0J x 19-inch OZ Racing wheels shod with the New Pirelli Trofeo tyre that meets the latest EU regulations for street legal trackday rubber.

Apart from the low back pressure on the new exhaust system improves throttle response and access to the input box largest carbon fiber food is more Ram Air and larger diameter tubes of silicone white logo Oakley, the design is connected from the air intake.

With an optimization of the reallocation of ECU fueling and ignition curves to take account of these changes for approximately 10 percent increase in performance 570bhp 627bhp, while torque is up to five percent of 540nm 567Nm.

Apply around 65kg less and more power on tap, the factory fell 3.4 sec 0-100km / h time of 3.0sec, while top speed is estimated at over 330 km / h. Since weight reduction has emerged the effect of stiffness of the suspension, the car is extensive evidence of this form. A suspension kit tailored for the hardcore trackday driver is the move to Intrax, Oakley design, the AM Suspension and development partners.
