Has Production Started?

COOL!!!!

looks even better in real light

 

This car just gets more gorgeous every time I see it.

 

Not sure about the 2-tone paint job, though...

 

If you go to the Showroom section and look at the Maranello gate thread you will see more pictures by this photographer. He was holding out on us and didn't include the second picture of the 458 driving away. Nice find! Out on the road the styling seems even better than in a sterile display.

Great car! Can't wait to see a real one 'in the wild'!

 

Wow! This car looks better everyday!

 

Whats on the back of the truck?

 

Rear bumper of a 599

 

My god....that car brings back the sexiness that Ferrari had when it introduced the 355. If I were in the market for a newer FCar, the 458 would be worth the wait over getting an F430!

They bringin' sexy back!

 

More pictures! He didnt put the gas on it so we cant hear the sound

+111111 That's exactly how I feel about this car! Sexy is back at Ferrari, not boxy (430,599).

 

I like the grey/silver color, but it isn't worth the extra money to me.

 

I think the red sill gives it a more "chunky" 430 look. The grey emphasizes the cars curves as it drops into shadow making it look like the cars body is actually curving up there. The curves are what makes the 458 sexy - so I would go grey.

 

Grey for me as well, this option isn't very expensive anyway.

 

Okay, back to the thread:

HAS production started? That's the protective material they use when test-driving fresh product. Perhaps these are the very first pre-production models? For press drives? Demo cars for dealerships? Or, perhaps, the very first deliveries?

 

First cars will be at (European) dealers late this year, that means next month of December. So I guess the cars we are looking at now are those cars that will show up at the dealer's showrooms.

 

Thanks for the photos the car looks amazing and i cannot wait to see it in person.

 

FWIW, during a factory tour a couple weeks ago, the guide said 458 production would begin in early October.

 

I'm so excited about getting mine even though it's away off!

Great pictures btw

 

Those are my fav pics so far..... I was luke warn on the 458 but these real life pics look pretty nice.

 

still not totally loving some of the elements of the nose, but .... overall car is growing on me the more I see these pics

 

that car is hot! colour is amazing... it's official i'm in love !!

 

Looks like Grigio Ferro Met and the diffusor is covered If it's got CF under the tape this rear bumper could very well be mine!!!

Cheers,
