    Today I weighted my 2013 458 italia @1460 kg~3212 lbs with approx. 15 litre fuel.
    This means 1520 kg~3344 lbs with full tank.

    Specs of my car are: standart rims, carbon buckets, alcantara/leather pack, carbon center tunnel. No lift, no navi/ipod, only rear parking sensor and standart audio.

    With/without roof and rollbars...?

    Edit: ignore me, I didn't read your question correctly! Your saying one was not a US spec, so wouldn't have the heavier (more dense) bumpers?

    Regarding the F50 #2 weight did you ever confirm if it was a euro spec version to account for the difference?

    Thanks! So 228 lbs lighter than a US car? I suspect it's the extra crash protection and metal fuel tank?

    That's correct. The USA F40's extra weight really does translate to extra safety.
