    The “V” recessed area. Looks like a Jack stand location but not sure. Nothing in the manual about it.

    Do you have the workshop manual for the 458?

    It doesn’t show this as a Jack point. It only shows the corner points with the hole.

    I just looked at the WSM myself, it sure leaves much to be desired in figuring out where the jack points are lol. Here's some pictures of the lift arms in place, figure it out.

    My undertray is still on and this V point is still exposed. Want to use it because it’s a good location but just want to confirm if it’s a safe Point to do so

    Yes, that's the jacking point.

    You'll probably want to buy some hockey pucks to help out with jacking:

    I recently had to jack up my 458 in my garage with constrained space to remove all four wheels.
    Complete video documenting the jacking and wheel removal coming to our YouTube channel: RichReviews.

    Good deal (from a subscriber)

    I found that the 458 is perfectly OK to jack using the outside frame rails a few inches behind the front jack points and a few inches in front of the rear jack points. I use 2 floor jacks to lift each side of the front, slide jack stands under the front factory points...then lift both rear sides and then slide the jack stands under the rear jack points.
