Ferrari 458 Italia.

[KoenigseggBG]

The car looks great in yellow, the rear end is okay and the profile is good. the front would have been good if they got rid of the cheap black plastic round the headlamps.

Imo, those vent things round the headlamps shouldn't be there at all...:para:

and as I said before: Unpair numbers of exaust pipes is the dumbest idea ever and it will never look good on a car.

I beg to differ.

Can't see anything there...

Look what may be hitting the streets soon.

 

 

Rendered Speculation: Ferrari 458 "Scuderia"

 

 

The new Ferrari 458 Italia isn't even out on the street yet, but already the automotive rumormill is churning out speculation over a potential Scuderia version. When outlining the roll-out of upcoming Ferrari models for the near future, Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa dismissed any such speculation as premature, but that's not going to stop some. Hence the rendering you see above, courtesy of user DJ at Teamspeed.com.

 

Since this can of worms has already been opened, the first thing we can say is that, while Maranello will in all likelihood produce a lightweight, slightly more powerful version of the new 458, it's probably several years away. The Italia is already expected to eclipse any previous benchmarks set by previous "volume" Ferrari road cars. And when it does, it almost certainly will not be called Scuderia – based on the 360 Challenge Stradale and the 430 Scuderia, it appears Maranello's keen on changing up the naming scheme with each new model. One board member suggested 458 Tifoso in tribute to Prancing Horse's dedicated legions of fans, but whatever name Ferrari decides on, and whenever it makes its way into the limelight, expect the supercar to drop a little weight, gain a little power and wipe the smirk off of any competitor's mug.

 

I bet that would be a briliant car to drive. But I hope they would do something about the exterior, as they've improved the F430. :)

Its ugly, pig ugly, horrendous, revolting, did i mention ugly? Uninteresting, boring, eye-sore, un-Ferrari-like, takes your breath away-for the wrong reasons, disgusting, and I don't like it one bit.

Just Like Everyother ferrari in History it Looks Amazing In Yellow

I agree, It looks like an ugly fish.

Putting a stripe on it does NOT help it in any way! fact.

I beg to differ. First of all, that's just a photoshop work on a 458 pic. It's not official in any way, just a speculation. Second of all, as we all know what they did with the F430, it will have a new body kit, bigger rims, brakes, stiffened suspension, stripped interior and some other improvements. So I bet it will sell like hot bread. ;)

[TDU 505]

Ah, but it's actually mouldy bread. Ugly mouldy bread that's been covered with a frosting of lacquer.

Come on now, give it a chance. Imo, making such statement before seeing the car is a bit too much. ;) Same goes for the Panamera, the SLS AMG and others. ;) The 458 is a technical success and it's going to compete against the SLS, so you may like to see it first to give your final verdict. :)

[TDU 505]

I like the SLS. Sure, it might not be REALLY good looking but then again, Merc hasn't really had a history or is well known for making drop-dead gorgeous cars. Ferrari is. And this is such a let down. The 430 wasn't a looker, but it was acceptable. This is just. Pain.

 

 

Bring me back the 60s and the 90s. I'll be happy. All this technological ho-ha is just polluting and corrupting Ferrari. Tell me, where are the 4 round tail lamps that are quintessentially Ferrari in the 458? Oh yes, 2 of them were turned into Ugly.

[Car Freak]

Ugly is an adjective, not a noun :facepalm:

 

Anyway, as I've always maintained, the 458's front is pretty good, they just need to re-do that rear end! But yes, it would almost definitely be stonking to drive

[TDU 505]

I know my English thank you very much. I phrased it that way for impact?

[KoenigseggBG]

So, Mark, would you like something like this :

Nope, still not floating my boat thank you.

Here's a 458 Italia that does

I know that, but i just feel like being pedantic towards you... ;)

[iLLGT3]

The more I see pictures of this car, the more I like it. At first, it look too much like a concept and it didn't seem much like Ferrari's' style. It has grown on me and I really am starting to like it.

:bump:

 

Guess what's coming next? :p

Probably yes. :lol:

[Car Freak]

I apologise on his behalf. His brand of sarcasm can be a bit too subtle at times

[gingervette]

I think the458 Challenge looks tacky.

[CarMadMike]

The "Stickers!" on that photo do look a bit tacky, but it will sound heavenly :drool:

TDU505 That is a F355

 

Probably yes. :lol:

 

What he's saying is, he would prefer the 355 to the 458 no matter how they tried to change it. :)
