I might have them at home (I am at work right now).  I'll try to remember to check this evening.  As I recall, the instructions were available using a special computer program available from LEGO.

Maybe this is what you are looking for? if not, it's still worth a look..

I've had my set built into this model for a few years now, using those same instructions. I like it better than the stock Silver Champion, even though it's somewhat smaller. Its suspension works a lot more smoothly.

I am not sure if it's exactly the same as the official 8458 third model though. They look very similar, but from those instructions it seems like this one was a custom AFOL-designed version.

I don't think this was the official third building instruction (the filename says "unofficial). I have a instruction on my computer that I have downloaded from the LEGO site. It is called Street Sensation. It looks more like a Formula car.
I will try to upload it to a website later today (have to go to work now)...

But the one by Nathaniel Kupiers is much better.

Yes, I think you could be right that this is not the original 'street sensation', but it is by a (now ex) lego designer... not sure on where you might find the street sensation instructions though...

The two models are actually pretty different apart from the fact that both are made from the Silver Champion.

The car posted by Parax was designed by Nathanael Kuipers using the parts from 8458.  You can see a picture of it below and you can find the instructions here (20 Mb).  Believe it or not, he managed to make these instructions without using MLCAD.  He modeled all the parts in Solidworks himself.



The "Street Sensation" (not to be confused with the 8448 Super Street Sensation) was an official 3rd model of 8458.  The set came with instructions for the first model (the F-1 racer) and the second model (the truck), but not the 3rd.  Instructions for the third model could be downloaded from Lego using their "LEGO BIT" (Building Instruction Tool) program.  This program no longer exists so the instructions are not that easy to come by.  Luckily, I have just posted them at my website here (2.6 Mb).  It is fairly low resolution.  I was able to find the original source files here.  You can see a picture of this model below and see that it is distinct from Nathanael's model.  It starts with the chassis from the standard 8458 and simply adds a different body.

Thanks again...however i like much more the unofficial car than the official third model...i'm building it in these days...
