How does the Ferrari 458 produce that much power from a standard engine?

The Ferrari 458 Italia has a 4.5L engine but yet produces an enormous 570HP. I want to know how that is possible without a Supercharged or a Turbocharged engine.|||With a fixed displacement, you can increase power by supercharger and or turbocharger. Without those, you are left with increasing the compression, lowering friction, and increasing RPM. The redline on the 459 is 9000 RPM, very high.





Apparently they have some sort of aerodynamic system of using forward speed to push more air into the engine, sort of like a supercharger. That means the engine would NOT develop the 570 HP on a test setup.





4.5 liter = 275 cubic inches


interestingly enough, the first Cadillac V8 type 51 was 314 cubic inches, and it produced 70 HP.





.|||Multiple valves let you get more air into the cylinder. That in turns permits you inject more fuel. On the exhaust side the same thing is true. Multiple valves permits the exhaust gases to exist more completely.





One other trick is to have acoustically tuned intake and exhaust manifolds so their standing waves match maximum engine rpm. On the intake, the standing wave is designed to have maximum pressure at the intake valves and on the exhaust the standing wave has minimum pressure at the exhaust valves. The result is the engine breaths better.|||Aerodynamics pushing more air into the engine at high speeds acts just like... a supercharger
