RE: Pic Of The Week: Ferrari 458 Italia

[tim200sx]

I think the 458 is the best looking Ferrari in some time, but wtf is the 3rd exhaust all about? The one on the F40 had a purpose, but this pointless one on the 458 just screams chav to me

I wanted to say something profound but will go with my first reaction.

Dude - that is rank.

Love the car, but that photo isn't the best composition I've ever seen.

Take an ugly car, position it so as to capture its worst angle, and take a snap of it from the least flattering angle. Bob's your uncle, POTW.

Bang right!

Not the best photo of that car I have ever seen..

Was there ever a reason for the 3 exhausts? I still can't work it out, is one a sham and then just adds weight for looks? Ron wouldn't like that!

Homage to the F40? Does look naff though.

[soad]

Not to everyone's taste but I do like it (both the car & this photo).

Isn't it a screamer pipe? Thought these things where turbo'd and thats the external wastegate. Could be wrong actaully I probably am.

Me too. Don't understand why people are saying its the best Ferrari since the 355...

Akward lines, akward grille and horrible lights. Hmm.

Thank feck for that, thought I was the only one who thought it was attacked with the ugly stick

[rusty1980]

I'll agree its no 355, but it’s better than the last two offerings.

The F40's was a screamer pipe hence it had a purpose, the 458 is n/a so will not have a screamer pipe, as you mention they're only for turbocharged cars afaik

[Mannginger]

Oh - I was looking forward to a new Wallpaper this week...guess I have to wait another week then.

I agree that the F430 wasn't the prettiest car they ever did, but the 360 (especially the CS) still looks great imo.
