The original 458 Italia styling is arguably mild, gentle and a bit too delicate compared to its competition. The development of the 458-VX program was to transform it into something that looked and felt more powerful, muscular, and athletic.
The front features a low hanging chin spoiler as well as aero loading ducting. The front spoiler directs air into the front radiators as well as out the exit ducts. These aero ducts add load to the front end creating pressure and downforce.
Vorsteiner's carbon fiber parts are produced using a state-of-the-art aerospace autoclave system. This provides unsurpassed rigidity, strength and finish to our aerodynamic components. We distinguish ourselves by utilizing a resin pre-impregnated, vacuum-formed carbon fiber material that results in a 20% - 30% stiffer and stronger product than an equivalent wet-lay up product.
This technique drastically reduces rejection rates, significantly improving delivery times. Vorsteiner uses a combination of unidirectional, 1x1, and 2x2 weave carbon fiber to keep the weight to a minimum while providing optimum strength and rigidity. The vacuum-formed technology used in our aerodynamic parts draw out excess resin which ultimately draws out excess weight without decreasing structural rigidity. This process provides a much tighter control over the fit and finish giving you the piece of mind that the part will perfectly match the factory shut lines and contours.
