The Ferrari 458 has been named 'Car of the Year' in the Daily Telegraph motoring supplement.

Head of Motoring at the Telegraph, Paul Hudson said, "The 458 Italia wins because of the pure driving pleasure it delivers - to drivers of all abilities. It flatters your driving while involving you fully in the experience. Despite its towering performance there are many faster cars, but the 458's astounding levels of tactility and refinement clinch it. It has almost telepathic steering, superbly linear major controls, looks (and sound) to die for. Hell, it's even comfortable."

The 458 has been showered with awards since it was revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, winning Top Gear Magazine's 'Supercar of the Year', Fifth Gear's 'Fast Car of the Year, GQ's 'Supercar of the Year', Auto Express' 'Performance Car of the Year' and MSN Cars 'Car of the Year'.
