nice,,,, but just short of 200k???
madness supposed to be a replacement for the 430 but 70k price hike,no ta,then again they did this with the 430 replacing the 360,the 360 cost 100k the 430 135k
i,d rather have a 360 challenge stradale and a 430 spider c.a 1 year old instead please

I absolutly love the 458, now im a fan of the 360 then 430, but this 458s a masterpiece

love the older styling rear windows very 348 / 355

and the enzo styled rear end is the nuts


Best looking Ferrari yet

Yeah, he's a good presenter imo - real car enthusiast as well. Used to enjoy his Autocar videos as well.

Glad EVO mag have picked him up - he's an entertaining writer as well.
The last 10 seconds of the track video made me laugh ...."Fxxk it, let's do a big skid!"

The guy's clearly trying to stop himself bursting into laughter with excitement throughout the video, and you can understand why. Very lucky being one of the first to drive the 430's replacement. I like it!

absolutely love it!!!! Loved the 355 but the 360 fell short imo and the 430's lines weren't the pretiest at the back with the lights protruding etc but this 458 is just stunning!!
