The Ferrari 458 Italia has long earned its status as a modern classic, yet U.S.-based tuner Vorsteiner set out to show that even an icon can be refined. At SEMA 2025, the specialist unveiled a fully restored 458 prepared under a new restoration program. The work is so meticulous that it’s hard to square the finished car with its actual age.

The 458 Italia was the last Ferrari to feature a naturally aspirated 570-hp V8 and the final Pininfarina project for the brand, which helps explain why interest in the model keeps rising. Official restoration through Ferrari is prohibitively expensive, creating an opening that Vorsteiner has stepped into with confidence.

The package brings a new front bumper with a nod to the 488 Pista, a reworked rear end with three centrally mounted exhausts and a substantial diffuser, along with side skirts and a broad splitter. There’s a sizeable carbon rear wing, and the taillights have been replaced with more modern units from the 488, adapted to fit the 458’s body. The look is rounded off by 20/21-inch magnesium wheels.

Vorsteiner doesn’t claim a power bump, putting the focus squarely on aesthetics. The program costs about €90,000: €58,000–€68,000 for the body kit, €3,900 for labor, and another €15,000 for the wheels. The result is convincing—very much the way many enthusiasts picture the “ideal” 458 Italia—and, crucially, the car still reads as authentically 458 rather than an aftermarket pastiche.
