It seems like the Ferrari 458 Italia will have to learn Autobot as it will be a part of their ranks in Transformers 3. Michael Bay, the director of the Transformers series, posts on his blog that he's decided to go Italian for the next installment of the saga, by introducing the Ferrari 458 Italia as a new character in the movie.
We're wondering how well will it fit between the American, GM branded Autobots. One thins is sure however. It will be the fastest of the bunch. The Ferrari 458 Italia is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 mid-mounted engine that sends 570 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Fitted with a 7-speed dual-clutch Formula 1 style transmission, the Ferrari 458 Italia can top 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph.
Michael Bay got the idea for the new character while he was attending a fund raiser held by Ferrari for building a hospital in Haiti.
