458 Speciale picture thread

It the all wheel drive - That's how the 918 beat P1

 

Good point. AWD for the win. lol

 

Actually, to me the most interesting column for street purposes is the lateral G force. We know that you really can't use the full speed and acceleration of any of these cars in the street (and retain your license), but you can get some excitement in the twisties at far lower legal and physical risk. This is where the Speciale shines.

Just love that pic from directly above. Gorgeous.

 

Awesome pics! Have to admit, the yellow Speciale's look awesome with the scud stripe (not normally a yellow car fan), still not as good as my TDF blue one but right up there with red, white and silver IMO. Enjoy that beast!

 

That overhead shot is fantastic. But those angles were bothering me, I had to sort them out! Lol!

PS: Is the owner a member here?

 

Oh yes, what a beauty! Blends in more than a bright red or yellow, but still 'pops' enough to suit a super car. TDF I imagine? I've gone with yellow callipers for mine (yet to be delivered) hope I've done the right thing!

 

Somebody like green! Note the green in place of the usual red on the engine.

 

Any more pics of the blue car Bob?? You're a good photog!

 

Thank you. I am a photojournalist and have been a Ferrari nut most of my life.

I do have a few more of the Speciale and will put some more up soon.

 

Finally got around to putting a shine on the car after the Paintshield.

The car's color is fantastic! Maybe it is Abu Dhabi blue.

Is there any Hi Res photo of the specific car?

Thank you in advance.

 

Congratulations PheonixUK! Looks fab!

These are as high res as you can get on Fchat. I shot them and think it might be a special color. Good friend had TDF 458 spider and to me the speciale seemed just a little lighter.
I believe the color to be pretty accurate in the pics, because the Armco at Watkins Glen is pretty well known for its distinctive color.
It certainly was the best looking Speciale I have seen. Although I would have liked a triple tris with the hark stripe.

 

Stunning car indeed!!!
