Pic i took yesterday at a local Ferrari event... http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshmcrae/sets/72157624601762357/ Image Unavailable, Please Login
Anyone who has ever visited the factory will tell you that the cars generally reach 100mph within 200ft of the gates on their test drives
and that's what makes things a bit confusing for many owners "i can't hustle my car..shouldn't exceed this rpm, that speed... until i 'break it in' "
Is that color available? I don't see it in the configurator. I guess if you pay enough, anything is possible. Any idea what this beautiful pearl white costs? My Bentley's "Ghost White Pearlescent" MSRPs for $7K. White seems to be emerging as the new hot Ferrari color, IMO. Black has become very popular in recent years and represents about 25% of F430 sales, if I recall correctly, but white is pretty rare, yet growing in popularity. I wonder if it will retain value like red and black and gray. Any idea, anyone?
Even if an owner honors the 'break in' period of 1000kms (or 600 miles) and doesn't exceed 5000 rpms (as suggested), its easy to get a 458 up to 100 mph. It's a rocket and in 7th gear pulls well even below 5000rpms.
Bianco Fuji is stunning. I looked at when I specced my Cali, was told that it was indeed a $20K option. It's a nice color, but not that nice...
Here's the one from Pebble Beach. More pics of that car in the gallery http://allisajayne.smugmug.com/Cars/Pebble-Beach/PebbleBeach2010/13369307_ExhKH#972175013_APceu Image Unavailable, Please Login
Beautiful Color, is that a special blue as it looks to have a pearl finish? The lower grey areas were painted which seems to work on a non-sinister 458.

If so it would be 'Blu 3 Strati'..can someone confirm? Looking through the aterlier book I saw various 3 layer paints: Rosso Fuoco Rosso Monza Rosso Formula 1 2007 Bianco Fuji Giallo 3 Strati Grigio Freddo (only saw in the booklet though) The above I have seen, but the following I have never come across even in pictures: Giallo Sole Blu 3 Strati I think those were the ones off the top of my head although I may have missed one.
