    I very much like the idea of using LM. It is both a race track name which we are sure they are considering, and a track where the race car evolution has had success, so very logical and two LM's in the stable would be something.

    Ahahahahahahaha too bad I didn't see your face when you learned it .

    I will send a letter to Marchionne for him to order the creation of a special silver finish for those wheels. I worry about your blood pressure

    Good idea - says Le Mans without spelling it out. Same thing they did with TDF.

    You think Sergio would allow that when they are also the initials for his predecessor?

    Hilarious point. That car would be a '488 LCdM' completely different.

    FYI, The situation is often different between the US and Europe. I think that poster is in Germany.

    It’s not nonsense. That’s the plan.

    I find difficult to believe that after speciale and aperta we will have another 488, limited or not, I can't remember the last time Ferrari make 3 model iterations of this type, especially since all the challenge link for this specials leaves doubts about the 488 LE..in 2020 498 will come,hybrid, so 488 LE not hybrid can only come in 2019, maybe with only a new livery like 70 anniversary editions?? What's the point in humiliating the 488 VS with the 488 LE the subsequent year? Very mclarenish behavior. Have you reliable sources confirming this capital new era trend for the prancing horse??

    If the 488 VS is not limited then why shouldn't they end the non-hybrid V8 with an LE? Seems simple.

    Just because they haven't done it before doesn't mean they wont do it. Remember how we were promised more LE cars......

    I have heard rear glass is already a type of plexi or lexan - however he doesn't know whether it is standard or available as an option

    Looks like the reports of 4,000 or so is coming to fruition.

    Lots of people have been told that they shouldn't have an issue of getting this car from our local dealers. Car buying history is probably going to dictate how early one gets the car rather then if they will be able to get one at all or not.

    488 Sergio. It would fit his egocentric ridiculous cluelessness.

    Good point: 488 Sportiva

    This makes sense with the presentation making a big deal about its deep links to the GTE racing sport car it's related to.
