488 GTB (458 replacement)

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.

 

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.

 

20 minutes to go...

 

10

 

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.

 

Maybe you're right.

 

Sour grapes as expected and no one has even seen it or heard it yet
