Scuderia or Italia?

The Old Guard · September 6, 2011

OK, I have both the 430 Scuderia and the 458 Italia for some time now, and quite frankly I can barely tell them apart from each other. They can go about as fast as each other, they're roughly around the same price range, both are quite fun to drive, and both have a Ferrari badge. The only minor bit that I think I can tell them apart is that the 430 Scuderia is slightly more fun to drive while the 458 is better looking.

Anyone want to help me decide between these 2?

I haven't driven the 458 yet, but I absolutely HATE the sound the scud makes. Whines way too much, even at really low revs. On that basis alone, I would take the 458, unless it's worse sounding

What? You hate it's sound? Well that's very strange indeed.. I love the sound the Scuderia makes, it sounds wonderful to me. Well then again, YMMV.

It sounds like a mosquito! I have the 458 and both Scud's (coupe and spyder) and I like them both. I believe the spyder has slower performance than the coupe, so maybe just get the coupe or 458. Or maybe both :)

It depends on you ... if you want a hard noised Stripped Racer, you have go for the Scud but if you're more of a soft Spiritually fast and dignified driver .... you'll have the Italia ..... i have driven'em both, adored the Italia and bought it immediately, it sits cheerfully at my garage holding the record of the fastest car round the Oahu intl' Raceway .... even faster than my Ascari A10

I Loved the 458 Italia and at one time, I went and bought 6 of them. Now I just had one and had done over 700 km in it. On my very own lap board, it was faster than a fully modified Zonda F Roadster~ I wish I can have a real one someday...

If we use logic and reason the F458 and Scuderia should drive roughly the same but this is TDU2 so probably not. Personally I'd go for the F458. The interior is simply a nicer place to be than the Scuderia, the noise is probably more pleasant, and looks nicer than the Scuderia IMO.
