Japanese Man Proves Ferrari 458's Longevity with 390,000km

A Japanese man, Tetsuya Nagae, has proven the reliability of Ferrari's 458 Italia model by driving his for an astonishing 390,123 kilometers. This feat challenges the stereotype of 'temperamental Italians' and showcases the durability of the 458 when properly cared for.

Nagae purchased his Ferrari 458 Italia in July 2011 and has been its sole driver since. Despite the car's high mileage, it has shown no significant signs of wear or malfunction. This remarkable endurance is not an isolated incident. Another owner of a Ferrari 458 Speciale track version has driven over 236,000 kilometers without encountering any major issues. These examples suggest that, with proper care, the Ferrari 458 can outlast even the most enduring Japanese cars.

The Ferrari 458 Italia and Speciale models have demonstrated exceptional reliability, with one Japanese owner driving his 458 Italia for over 390,000 kilometers and another driving a 458 Speciale for over 236,000 kilometers. These feats challenge the myth of Italian car unreliability and highlight the importance of proper care in vehicle longevity.
