    Video seems to show active flap at the rear around the central fog lamp not apparent in earlier Ferrari pictures.

    There is only one hood. What you are seeing is an illusion because of the pictures. : )

    Listen to the video under Vehicle Dynamics. The sound there is better. Still the NA wail is gone. Progress and regulations...

    And I think the 458 diffusers are expensive to fix...488 double that? Or more?

    Cool though. Very cool.

    8k red line does not help...high for a turbo but still 9k is 1000x better IMO.

    It sounds okay... for a turbo that is. Fortunately we still have the V12s!!!

    V12 have big potential in future.

    V12 + KERS = powerful, screaming sound, low CO2 and very low fuel consumption.

    Best looking?! That's quite a statement. It looks much better in the video than on most pictures though :)

    new generation? how dare you compare 488 to legendary F40? :D 488 is not ultra light like F40 and don't have astonishing look like F40, only similarity is turbo
    but I respect your opinion ;)
