    Has Ferrari announced a time for the grand reveal? I reckon I've been refreshing the 458 page at least twice a minute.

    Not crazy about that (nor the sound) but it does follow some cues of the Cali T, so could be.

    By the way, do we know for sure that it will be called "458" at all? Logic seems to suggest it won't.

    It shouldnt be called 458. We should get completely new name, like in case with 360 and F430 later.

    ditto and ditto. The big torque in the new V8 will attract the big torque crowd. We will see about the rest.

    I think the reason why they made the redline at 8000 instead of 8500 is so that way you don't have too much turbo lag and you still get that short shifting feeling, but you still get to rev it out.

    Manufacturers are getting better at hiding the cars that really matter.
    Do you remember how no one knew how the LaFerrari would look like?
    On a different note, considering its debut in mid June, no one has seen a pic or even a full mule of the new Alfa Romeo...

    Ferrari have much improved security at the previews, and the press packages are not sent out far in advance of the unveil. With the LaF and Cali T, the official photos leaked a few hours before unveil, probably because some dealer or whatever got the press package. I won't be surprised if some images which resemble the style of Ferrari's official photos surface tomorrow morning.

    makes sense I just find it hard to believe that someone hasn't snapped one looping Fiorano, (even in camo) other than the black and yellow we have seen photo'd

    It continually amazes me at how good Ferrari is at controlling the unveiling of its new models. Aside from an errant cell phone photo just before the F12 announcement, I don't recall any substantial leaks. Hell, if this was the government it would have been leaked many times over.

    I bet that the new "458M" will feel substantially different to the 911TT. It will also be a lot quicker.

    Could 388 or 388T be the name? Would be far more logical than 458M or 458T

    True. I'm always surprised there aren't more spots from Fiorano.

    Come to think of it, the Speciale was also "leaked". But only because someone in the promo film production crew thought it would be a good idea to drive a yet-to-be unveiled Ferrari around the center of Barcelona.

    Maybe that media company is the one that was filming the Lamborghini aventador SV that was leaked
