488 GTB (458 replacement)

So your getting a 488 ?

 

Yes mine should be here in Feb.

 

That's not very long. Congrats.

 

Good for you I'm getting inline for the spider version

 

I am not a spider guy thank goodness.

I hope that sound from inside is not so bad like in this video

 

Ok she's not Maria Callas but gotta love those backfires

 

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?

 

but do you still like black for the body color?

 

+1

 

Huge digital speedometer. That's great.

 

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

 

And don't forget, for some time she had Aristotle Onassis wrapped around her pinkie! Fred

 

Well, she was a Greek as was Ari.

 

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.

 

Thought Laf was all in house ?

 

It is.

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.

 

Then why it doesn't carry the PF badge?

 

not good sound

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
