The 488 is definitely 'better' in most of the quantifiably objective ways. But it's character is so very different, and arguably less desirable...
Your opening statement assumes everyone is capable of the same engineering and ease with which to do it. Sadly that is simply not the case....
Apart from adopting carbon fibre for their chassis and independent adaptive suspension, I see no other exceptional technology on the Mclarens....
Tesla are good for a DD or commuter and make lots of sense. But as a weekend/sports/supercar... er, no.
If sound were not important, and raw performance numbers only, we would all have a Tesla.
I keep saying this... top trumps alone do not make a supercar! The McLaren DNA is evident throughout their range of cars: incredibly fast, but...
There are always 2 levels of used car: dealer prepped and assured with warranty, and private. You pays yer money and you takes yer chances....
As one who's had numerous 911s, GT3, GT4, Spyder, and now an owner of a 458, this is truer than a true thing.
Ferrari will never make another NA v8 like we have seen in the 458. Ferrari will never make another Pininfarina-penned mid-engined Ferrari like...
Lovely looking Spider! I saw your Fuoco when I dropped by Autofficina a couple weeks back!
And so it often is when buying cars at this level. There are very few rational reasons to drop over quarter million on any car. If only factual...
And it's also the driving experience that is just mind numbingly boring in a Mclaren. From the moment you get into their recent model cars,...
Both really excellent posts. I have a friend who works at the Mclaren factory who manages pre-prod cars and prototypes. He waxes lyrical about...

The 458 coupe has a beautiful roof line. Blacking it out loses the line, and it looks a little... Honda CRX? Show off those Pininfarina lines...
Thanks! I think the 488 subject photo is most likely Blu Corsa.
Blu Mirabeau is a super hard colour to photograph consistently. Very light sensitive, subject to time of day and intensity. Here are 5 photos of...
Yes - that section is critical as the front wheel kicks up stones that impact along that area. Mine originally had the PPF option as an original...

Amen to that. #gratuitouspic [ATTACH]
