Is the Ferrari 458 Bigger than the Scuderia?

Just wondering if dimension wise, the 458 is larger than the Scud.

Thanks!

 

430 Scuderia
Length 4512mm / 177.63 inch
Width 1923mm / 75.70 inch
Height 1199mm / 47.79 inch

458 Italia
Length 4527mm / 178.23 inch
Width 1937mm / 76.26 inch
Heigth 1213mm / 47.76 inch

So yes, the 458 Italia is both longer, wider, and higher than the 430 Scuderia. Source of the information is the owners manual of both the 458 Italia and 430 Scuderia.

 

Bigger with more power!

 

Doesn't matter how big it is, it's how you use it

 

One foot on the floor and sideways?

 

You hardly need to ask after all has there ever been a car that's not larger than its predecessor !

 

First time I see a sentence where an internet meme "MOAR" is combined with a quote from the Clarkson "Poweeeeerrrrrr"

 

Thanks, so from anyone's experience, is it noticeably bigger or just on paper its bigger.

 

Difference in length: .6" = 00.3% Longer

Difference in width: .56" = 00.7% Wider

Difference in height: .56" = 01.1% Taller

Do you think you can tell a difference by looking at it?

 

ummm. double check the calculations on height.

 

I can say I notice the difference pulling into my single stall garage. I have to pay attention as the mirrors clear by about an inch on either side. It seemed much easier in the 430 to get into the same garage.

I do notice the difference as well.One thing that is way different from the scud is it is way lower than the 458.I have a long deep driveway into a 5 car garage.The scud would catch in the middle underneath if I didn't angle.The 458 has no problem.The nose clears most driveways.The scud would scrap on most driveways

 

Fred- Go to this website and you can download a Scud OM and a 458 OM, plus a few more. Then you can answer all those questions yourself.

The 458 definitely has more headroom. I can't sit in the 430s....any version. I have just enough headroom in the 458.
