458 Official Ferrari 458 Italia Picture Thread

Thanks TDF is growing on me. Want to avoid red as I have a red 430 09 spider that will sit next to the 458. Just saw 2 blacks and 2 dark grey (sorry not giving them the proper Ferrari name) and the dark grey was hot compared to the blacks

In direct sunlight, TDF is an awesome color but in those picture, where there's not much light, it doesn't look that great.

 

Anyone know if that was the car from FoCF?

 

+1. I think its particular to those picture where it almost looks purple.

 

Its up there and we may go get it Sat morning if they can't find a shipper. I wanna see it too!

 

ew...

Argh! My eyes, my eyes! Lol!

 

That colour reminds me of the MP4-12C

 

except for the fact that it actually kinda works on the MP4-12C

 

Isn't that some sultan's kids car. He always gets cars in orange/black combo...don't remember name.

 

some shots from a recent charity drive.

love that rear mesh grill with those compound curves around the light. Just mesmerizing...

Cool pix and agree

 

That is the tri-tone yellow. Nice find there! The very small front plate works ok.

=> Giallo Triplo Strato

 

That would be Giallo Modena Tristrato.

Or were you just kidding?

ciao,

Lars,

I've got a factory order sheet where they refer to the colour as Giallo Tre-Strati. They also call the colour Giallo Modena Triplo Strato in the museum just to confuse things further.

I thought he was just practicing for when people ask about the color of his 458!
That yellow what ever you call it, gets lots of attention...

dont know if this was posted yet or not, but im waaay too lazy to look through 40+ pages to see

also, a friend on another forum (and im sure here's on here too, EvoNick) pointed out something out that has since haunted me. on these "turned/twisted" wheel designs, the company will only cast 2 wheels, 1 for the front and 1 for the rear. They dont make 4 separate wheels, which would make the style symmetrical, so instead, you have the turn facing opposite directions when looking at both sides of the car.

I recently just test drove the new Z4 35iS and it had the same thing. what has seen, cannot be unseen.

The black roof on the red car badly needs black trim inside.

 

Well, now I´m confused indeed! Thanks for the info

Ciao,

Lars T.

Agree with you...I love the Cuoio interior color, but it's just not working at all with that black roof. Calls for a black interior with some red touches (stitching, piping, trim, whatever).

 

My 458 will be red with black roof and a two tone red and black interior as well as black wheels cuoio does not work with a red/black combo
