    Hmmm... not really distinctive-looking - very derivative. Looks an aweful lot like a Ferrari f430.

    So will you be trading the 458 in on one? :)
    40% of the price though... before adjusting for inflation!
    Or more simply put... plain :)

    What can compete with the looks of the 458 though :)

    Nice car. :):)

    What a shame they couldnt make it slightly different to the 430 front/458 rear section. :p:p

    *From that angle*

    Since it isn't a replacement to the F1 I guess they had to keep the look relatively simple, the F1 replacement will be the real stunner but I do like the MP4-12C although it will never sound as good as a 458 ;)

    Probably a statement of the obvious, but now they have direct injection I am expecting the next generation of cars to have smaller turbocharged engines as well.

    Maybe on the 458 update/refresh.

    For emissions and mileage, they would have to go down that route one would expect.

    And that's my wild guess.

    Looked so nice on the show.

    Having people near the car made it easier to get an idea about the size and stance that you just can't get from the press release pics.

    It's definitely not the futuristic styled 458, but it's a stunning design none the less.

    goodness me, UK publications waxing lyrical about a UK car - that's so unusual. :rolleyes:


    Having seen this car last year at Pebble, it was remarkably underwhelming, not just the exterior but the interior is boring. As I posted at the time, the Porsche 918 thingy parked across the grass just blew it away.

    They do tend to do that, but if the numbers are right, numbers don't lie
