458 Speciale Revealed

lol now I get it, the minister of finance, I read another post of yours a while back and thought you work for some european government, but it didn't make sense

well, then my friend, I'm afraid you're missing on a few things when the minister of finance is in the car

 

We evenly split the financial responsibilities in my family. I'm in charge of deposits and my wife is in charge of withdrawals.

 

Lovely sound in the new official Ferrari's video.. Take a look on their main webpage

The 458S is so well engineered and with superior aero
That I highly doubt the 458 replacement will do any better
on a track.

 

Isn't that what everybody said when the base 458 was released? It was so fast pple were contesting whether tgere could possibly be a "scud" version. Cars will almost always continue to be faster & more efficient, aesthetic appeal though, that's a totally different discussion. For me, the S is a few steps backwards in that dept compared to the base 458.

Goodbye Pininfarina, hello in-house Ferrari.

 

There are videos available in English now too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ7eqV2WFlA&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLzbdvw99SKOf-8bMYqUdAjeYR2WLs67ds

Aero mods have played havoc on some design elements But IMO it's still
an appealing car considering what it accomplishes with the aero mods

 

Amzing tech and aero. Are they going to be the priority over looks in future models? I sure hope they can strike a balance between tech and design features in the future as well as they did in the 458.

 

hmm... my 2010 has a better sound..

 

According to the numbers in the vid, the Scud actually has a slightly lower coefficient of drag than the 458S, but much less downforce. Hello g-forces!

 

here are some more pics from frankfurt, the front has kind of an f-12ish look to me in real life..

of course your car is nicer and sounds better, noone her here had any doubt

 

In my opinion overkill..

 

bravissimo!!

 

the beast has bigger "eye boogers".

 

Thanks for posting.

for the first time I think I understand how the active aero works.

Great car. Not for me, but a great car none the less.

the improvement in torque is astonishing. wonder how performance compares to the F12 and 599 GTO?

 

still cannot accept the hood design.

 

I haven't seen it in person so it's difficult to judge but to me this car has 2 issues:
- The stripes are SO overdone I would love to see one without.
- The horse in the middle of the front splitter is absurd and useless.

The rest seems amazing! Not better or worse than the Italia just very different
