Nice write up in November edition of Auto Italia.

Here's a snap hehe

"While the Scuderia and Speciale seem to have been cut from very much the same cloth, the CS feels a totally different machine, from a totally different era. The best analogy I can think of is the difference between a beautifully crafted wind-up Swiss watch and an app-happy smartphone that gives you everything at your fingertips"

to add / continue from said article... readit

(Compared to the CS) " The more modern pair feel more composed, and in the final analysis are surprisingly hard to separate. I admit I was taken aback at just how good the 430 Scuderia feels along side the 458 Speciale - and it's arguably better than the 458 in some regards, such as steering feel and ride quality." nerd

Am sure there will be a 458 Speciale lover / owner to cover off the last selective re-post! biggrin

All 3 are great cars - of different era's.

I don't see how you can compare a 360CS with a 458 Spaz - light and day IMHO - I've owned both (and the Scud)

430 Scud is a great car too - but stuck in the middle - in terms of electronics and software - but the car just works.

End of the day - you pays you money and drive what you like!

It's a bit like Goldilocks.

The CS is an awesome sounding machine, the best of the 3, but really shows its age when it comes to the driving experience.

The Speciale is just too polished and refined compared to the other two, and sounds the worst.

The Scud is the best of both worlds. Great noise, great drive and just right.

Already covered on the CS thread, I believe they are after just under £400k
