Nice - looks hot But the rear end might need a rethink especially that spoiler

 

OH YEAH!!!
- a bit too subdued though

 

Very understated , don't ya think

 

LOL

I wonder how it sounds??

 

There is no adequate way to get the sound but I do have video on my team page facebook.com/gumballteamanime that has a start up and a camera mounted on a tripod at 10' behind the car. The exhaust actually blew the camera off the tripod. It is UNREAL.

There are also some driving videos and a road test where I put the car up to 173mph on video.

 

Here is a link to a road test up to 173mph.

Shock and awe.

 

I would have rather imagined that on a Toyota Supra etc.

Why did that to a 458? :/

 

Didn't the Gumball used to be cool? At what point did they decide to put the cars in clown shoes?

 

If the car is still in SoCal I can record the sound with high end equip. PM me.

 

Uh, never mind, I won't say anything.

 

To each their own. Sick car but hope that is a wrap

 

I will. It looks like it came out of a cereal box. And people are criticizing the 488??? That body kit makes the car look so tacky and ugly...

 

The OP is obviously having a good time and shares with the forum his excitement. Did he ask for anyones "judgement"? The car is designed for a unique purpose and he is having fun.


As to the OP, enjoy.

Best

 

I totally agree. This car screams nouveau riche.

 

I've heard that race is a blast. Car looks amazing. A real attention grabber. Enjoy and thanks for posting. Love the custom LED's that glow like Tron at night. The race sounds like a kind of fantasy, all out event. Sure it's amazing. FWIW, guys... let the man have his fun and enjoy. Why not???

 

It's the Gumball rallye isn't it?? I thought that's where drivers make their cars stand out with different wraps and kits. Wouldn't it be rather boring if every car in the rallye was stock or lightly modified?

I like like it for what it is. Good luck and have a great time!

 

+1 each to their own and this is one of kind! Enjoy it pal, have you any led interior light pics???

 

I absolutely love it!!
A stunning and dramatic show car that admirably fits it's purpose.

Can't wait to see her in the flesh, congrats Michael!

 

+1
would love to be there too (rev battle, rev battle!!)

 

+1
LED night shots please!

 

I guess you and I passed reading comprehension and noted the Gumball designation in the thread title. It's like posters spew vitriol without reading the OP or having an iota of knowledge about what Gumball is. You think this is too extreme for "good taste"? God forbid you look at the other maniacal designs of Gumball partipants.

I love anime design. Props for being unique with a monster exhaust note to boot. Tell the rest of the naysayers to go back to the conformity of their single malt scotch, daily Cialis and Cars and Coffee with their mock turtlenecks.

 

Tasteless and adolescent bodykit and wrap on this 458!

 

Le sigh. Who's the adolescent again?
