The Ferrari 458 Italia, which was unveiled just over a year ago at the Frankfurt IAA, continues to receive important accolades. Just last night the sports car won its sixth important award of 2010 when it was named Super Sportscar of the Year at a ceremony in Shanghai.

The Best of the Best Award came courtesy of the editors at the prestigious international Robb Report China magazine. They were flanked in their decision-making by a panel of automotive experts and chose the 458 Italia over the many competitors in the super sports car category.

In the twelve months since its unveiling the 458 Italia has earned widespread critical and public acclaim, not merely in response to high profile achievements such as being named Car of the Year by BBC Top Gear Magazine, but also as a result of its performance in very tough test-drives on both track and road.

In recent months, the mid-rear engined 8-cylinder has undergone in-depth specialist testing right across the globe which have highlighted its exceptional performance standards and superlative driving pleasure. Recently the British car magazine, Autocar, described it thus: "The 458 Italia is the new sportscar benchmark."
