Ferrari 458 Italia PS'd with California nose

I'm not too crazy about the front end of the new Italia so I chopped on the California nose.

The Italia California

 

Sorry, doesn't work on that car. However everyone's taste is different. Maybe you can have a custome Pininfarina car.

 

Interesting result (good PS skills), but a central mid-hood air scoop serves no real purpose on a mid-engine car.

 

I didn't think it did anything on the Californian either.

 

That's a good point, I just removed the air scoop.

What about California bumper but hood and lights from 458?

 

Maybe same lower front air dam of the cali and instead of the 458 intake duct in the hood, the intake in the top part of front bumper. Keep the 458 lights...?

 

Very sexy! I like Ferrari's with the traditional egg crate grill. Having said that, I still think the 458 is the best looking most exotic non super car Ferrari in a very long time.

 

Very nice pshop but it looks weird to me. The car is too long.

 

what is the point of this?

 

Ditto

 

Just some wishful thinking I guess.

 

Great photoshop skills!!!!!!!!!!!! ........... get rid of the center hood scoop and flatten the arch on the hood and it is a big improvement .............. but just as you made it ..... looks pretty damn good !!!!!!

 

This the way the car should have looked (minus hood scoop).It looks much better than either car.

Awesome!

 

that actually looks better LOL

great PS job too

 

after seeing that, I don't have any idea what Pinin were thinking with that overly complicated weird alien front on the 458

looks like the wind tunnel is the new judge and jury today, not designer's tastes

 

I think it is ironic that the front of the 458 is not as clean as it could be (grill, hood air intakes, and the vents on the fenders), but the back is nice from the doors backward. On the flip side, the back of the cali looks over done (over styled doors, fake vents, stacked exhaust, big butt). Between the both of them, you can get one beautiful car.

Between the cali and the 458, the latter is a better looking car, but there is room for improvement. This PS looks much better. You can squabble about the length of the hood or where the mirrors should be, but these are minor compared to the big items.

 

Like this?

There is no real point in this, I just wanted to share some of my ideas.

 

I like version 2 better (cali front minus the scoop)

 

Anyone know what a horse looks like that was designed by a committee? A camel .

 

This last one is very intense! The Italiafornia!

As the youth of today might put it, you got mad skills. Any chance of repainting that bad boy black? Black wheels, tinted windows, black everything?

 

and that is dead on !

 

The irony of your statement is it works both ways.

Ferrari ARE designed by committee.

 

I think the 458 is very nice just the way it is
