    It is the same engine and engineering as Cali T.

    Before the car is launced, I would just like to thank all the contributors to this thread so far. Seldom does a thread stay on-topic like this one has with so many great insights, and rarely does the discussion remain so civil. Thanks.

    I guess that's probably because, to me it sounds like the non-tuned 650s has a slight digital exhaust sound to it, while the 458 successor still sounds like a 458 but just muted.

    I think you're just imagining it...

    Dunno how a stock 650S could sound digital. It's just an ICE engine and hot gases moving through a bunch of metal. Nothing digital about it.

    I was one of those critical of the 458's looks upon its reveal. But, to be fair, even though I now think it one of the most beautiful cars ever made, I still think it looks odd in photos. And that, of course, is all we had to go on at the start.
