On more than one occasion we have seen some part of a car that becomes furniture. However, there are few that achieve it in such a masterful way as this one. table made with the engine of a Ferrari 458. We had already seen other tables from the cavallino brand, such as the one made with an original 20-inch wheel, but not with an entire engine block. Has used the 4.5 liter naturally aspirated V8code F136, which was the mechanism that gave life to some of the best sports cars of recent times.
If we analyze the Ferrari 458 Italia, the truth is that it was a true champion of purity. It maintained the essence of the 430 and endured without the need for turbocharging at a time when the trend was already beginning. Its outstanding eight-cylinder engine had numbers worthy of the largest. Were 570 HP and 540 Nm of torque in its initial variant, although it developed 605 HP of power in the 458 Speciale. With brutal specific power, it was the car that everyone admired a little over a decade ago.
Now its mechanics can also be admired in another way, not only for being able to propel the 458 Italia from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 3 seconds. An entire, original block has been taken to create a coffee table that It will be the dream of many. The truth is that it will not stand out for practicality, since the engine is the central axis and takes up space. However, its construction is the highlight. Receive a series of metal supportsone with the logo of the rampant horse from Ferrari, so that the new parts can be integrated.
The board is made of tempered glass and has outstanding measurements. Having an integrated 4.5-liter V8 means that its weight and dimensions have to be taken into account. It is estimated that weighs more than 113 kg and that measures 1.52 meters long, 1.40 meters wide and 83 centimeters high. Hence the importance of installing wheels on its base to move it from one side to another. Needless to say, it is a completely handmade creation and having a component like the original engine was only going to make it have a price within the reach of few. It will be auctioned soon and is expected to reach a figure between 48,000 and 70,000 euros.
