Has it been confirmed what the base price of the 459 will be? Thx
Complete pricelist for the Netherlands. Netto prices should be the same in all European countries. http://www.autogespot.com/nl/item/5233/prijslijst-ferrari-458-italia.html
From what I can ascertain on Google, BTW is sales tax/VAT (looks like 19%) and BPM seems to be a uniquely Dutch road tax - so comparing to other European countries/UK which to the best of my knowledge have just VAT - price appears to be EUR 162,900 + VAT - so about EUR 194,000 depending on the tax rate in your country. I'd be interested to see what happens in the UK - the pound is currently very weak compared to the Euro, only 9% differential, yet the Scuderia was GBP 172,000 (incl. taxes - before VAT was lowered), and at the same time it was EUR 206,300 on the continent - about 20% differential. The price is definitely being ratcheted up with every model, the 458 is just over 6% less than the Scuderia - which was significantly more than the standard F430 at launch (albeit that CCB brakes and F1 transmission were optional on the F430 at launch - now all standard).
also can't help noticing from that price-list (assuming it was complete) the absence of the LEDS option (steering mounted LEDS) - but we do know they will be available (shown in Frankfurt) as well as a Carbon option for the dash. Perhaps they will come later?
