hmmmmmmm, it looks good but I definitely thing the 458 looks better and more elegant in coupe form, much like other cars e.g. the db9 also look better in coupe form,

Very clever bit of engineering that roof (and the rest of the car is also pretty nice!!)

Hmm, I think if I win the Eurolottery I shall be placing my order for that little beastie........

Would it be rude to have that and an F430 Spider?
Why would you want an F430spider if you had a 458spider ???

Its better in everyway!
I think you seriously misunderstand how stupid I am when it comes to cars. With a Eurolottery win I would also have a 355 Spider, a 308, a DB7 Volante, a DB9 Volante and a Vantage Volante.

You see, I just want them !!

Ugly, just like the hardtop. Ferrari haven't made a nice looking car (599 excluded!) in years, imo. The FF came close but it's 458 esq nose ruined it.

Honestly think these will date, so, so badly. The new macca might be dull to look at, but it won't look anywhere near as old hat in 10 years time.

You think the FF came close to being a good looking car? really?

Agree on the McLaren point though.

I'm interested to see how many hard top 458's they sell once this comes on line.

No one is more stupid than me. Can understand a 308 and a 355 and a 458. V cool.

DB7 and a DB9? nope.

430 and 458 Nope. UNLESS the 430 was a Scud maybe

430spider is great. Love mine... but I wouldnt ever look at it let alone drive it if I had that 458! ITS AMAZING and just better, faster, and more beautiful everywhere!


Want a 458spider BADLY! amazing. Its BETTER looking than I was expecting.... and I was expecting perfection!

I dont like the back end. Not smooth enough and makes the proportions of the front look all wrong, would of prefered a flat rear deck. However I didnt like the 458 coupe in the pictures, but seeing one in the flesh completely changed my opinion and now I love it, so you never know smile

Only on Pistonheads will blokes argue about who is the most stupid when it comes to cars biggrin

But looking at your profile, you are winning !! (Wait until I win the Eurolottery though, I'll pip you at the post then).

The side profile of the FF is sublime. I love it. The nose kills it.

You think the FF is close to being nice looking?

but that the 458 is ugly?

WOW..... couldn't disagree any more!

I also don't really care what it looks like in 10years time to be honest... it just looks awesome NOW. I think it will date very well as well for what it is worth though. Its proportions and details are amazing!

Would prefer a rag top and a glass engine cover.

But hey, never mind.

Why does it remind me of the 308 gts?

I love it even more than the tin top.

I think his would look so much better with the twin rear lights Ferrari used to use. Would still make room in the garage for it though.
