Not sure about the three center-mounted tail pipes but it looks great!

Absolutely beautiful.

The front windshield can be more compact though.

9000 rpm redline and 9500 rpm cut-off.

In times when FI is what all companies are gunning for, it is always wonderful to see Ferrari and Lamborghini still building best cars in the world using small displacement high-revving engines. Bravo!

The best looking Ferrari in an age. For many a year I would have put Lamborghini as the most exotic looking cars in production but this F458 tops even them, and will probably out handle them too.

+1

absolutlely the ferraris of today are on a whole new level when compared with the offerings of its competition, lambo etc.

This 458 will most likely be sold-out just like the california as it hits the dealerships...

The F430 was beautiful as well, but this is just WOAH. I still prefer the looks of the murcielago lp670 though.

I wonder how porsche is going to handle this car with their 997TT.


for competition.

+1000

I love the design. It isnt as busy as the 430 yet looks so fresh/modern. It also looks like old school Ferraris like the 355.

I can see a lot of people saying this is boring/bland. People probably wanted something busy and exciting like the 430, but I think in real-life this will look amazing.

I think Ferrari have now got something that makes me think twice about the LP 560-4. That says a lot, because that Lambo is my favourite car design right now.Check my sig

I think the car looks AMAZING if you really study her but I do have 2 grips

1. whats going on with that center console???
2. The multiple Ferrari symbols on hood and lower valance get rid of the lower one

Other then that I cant find anything wrong. The side view is amazing how strong the lines are on the rear quarter and the hood overlaps the windshield and the flaring tails like the 430 just an amazing CAR cannot wait to see her in action.

Agreed. I think this thing will look like evil on wheels in black with red calipers.

I honestly think this is one of the most beautiful designs I have seen. I can't stop looking at it.

I think I will stop pining for the Scuderia after seeing this.

I do agree with one of the other posts...what were they thinking with the driver's pod?
