Finally! A truly beautiful modern Ferrari

Go for it Onno, you can never have too much Ferrari´s!

 

Ferrari has launched a webspecial on their official site. However, the servers seem to be bursting, so you'll have to try a couple of times to get on there. On the site there are properly sharp high-res picures and a couple of sound clips (erm - it sounds to good to put into words).

The 458 Italia has completely blown me over. I just tried to pick a picture of the Italia for my desktop for about 20 minutes. I simply can't decide from which angle it looks less than astonishing.

My God this car is epic.

 

They did it!

Home run. Look at that rear end!

 

That is perfect! I'll have my one in black, thanks

This is the baby Enzo! I can't believe how accurate some of the sketches were though, especially the headlight detail and rear diffuser. Tri-exhaust is a nice touch and I really like how Ferrari incorporated the rear intakes in the overall design. I think the front bumper and mirrors might take a little getting used to though...still, I can't wait to see one! 9,000 RPM FTW!

Forza Ferrari!

I definitely agree. It has potential though, I mean, it's already pretty good looking, I'm loving the top view, hate the front (more of the lights though), not liking the grill on the tail, not liking the window lines, and the side swoop, but like most cars, it will grow on me. I'm surprised there are lots of likes and very little dislikes and undecideds.

 

I love the profile. Not sure about the rear and front yet..But it is definitely much more stricking than the California or the 599.

Any word on the specs ?

 

There hasn't been a beautiful Ferrari since the 360. It just changed.

 

According to Topgear.com the black winglets in the front bumper bend on higher speeds.. seems like they put f1 front wing tech on this one!

bravo Ferrari! absolutely stunning!

 

I cried when I saw this masterpiece... I'm still crying... It's so beautiful!

 

GORGEOUS!

 

Fugly !!!! The Lotus Evora is similar, but better looking! The fools will be lining up (and bending over) to get one regardless.

 

Gorgeous, out of the ballpark, imagine this thing in person. 570 BHP at 9,000 RPM with 3,100 lBS.

Thanks. Impressive HP and torque # . Wish it could have been closer to 1300kgs though.

 

I was very nervous about this car but Ferrari has come through!!!!!!!!! Beautiful, graceful with taste. This car will get mountains of attention but in some weird strange way it doesn't scream or beg for it like a Lambo.

And I feel the way you do. This car is a softed edged baby Enzo with 2 tail lights & a V8.

 

I really like the looks, but just not crazy yet. I can't wait to see one in person. A big sigh of relief after the California disaster. I was hoping for something smaller than the 430 (the dimensions are essentially the same) and lighter like 2750 lbs.

 

First time I thought oooh when I saw a new Ferrari design in forever.

I hope they make it in a 6 or 7 speed manual for real drivers.

430 is now obsolete and ugly in comparison.

 

FERRARI .... is back to making TRUE FERRARI's again!!!!!

Nothing more needs to be said!!!!!

Thanks,
UZY

 

Still looks amazing...
