    The blue 2 ft flames are too cool!! Nice to see its still possible in a 2016 Ferrari.

    Wonder what you would see from the same camera angle on a Tesla? ;)

    I saw Maria Callas at a record signing in San Francisco when i worked there. She arrived in a huge limo and wore a full length mink coat and sunglasses. She was very dramatic in her actions and in every way a diva...larger than life.

    She was a soprano AND mezzo soprano. Sang both roles in her career. Very rare indeed.

    No backfires. Ever.

    Ciao

    The 458 was a collaboration between in-house & pf, just like the LaF. In previous generations, design was wholly outsourced to pf with Ferrari approval.

    Speciale is 100% in-house, hence no pf badging.

    Some educational reading material for you:
    Flavio Manzoni on the Design of LaFerrari « Form Trends and How Pininfarina Designed The LaFerrari Without Getting Paid For It

    and to pull a direct quote from the articles:
    "Flavio Manzoni took us around the design of the car, explaining how three concepts were initially chosen — two designed in-house and one by Pininfarina."

    And if you look at the images of the Pininfarina concept, you can see that quite a good chunk made it home to the final LaF product.

    How come the sound is louder at lower rpm than higher?
    IMO, this car sounds like a loud 911 turbo, but it looks 100 times more beautiful.

    I'm curious, what about the sound, in your opinion, makes it 100 times more beautiful?

    I drive a 991 Turbo S and change now to 488. I can tell you that the sound of 488 is much more better and much louder than the Turbo S. Inside + Outside
