Ferrari 458 Spider Photos

[teen_cerbera]

OK, not exactly photos, just something I knocked up on Photoshop, thought some Pistonheads may be interested in having a look though :


Hope the colours are not too offensive for you

Nice. Probably not a million miles away from what it will look like. Good work.

Wow!

When I read the title I thought a 458 Spider would look awful but that looks immense, even for a PS, I even like the colour!

I thought the same, tbh the curves of the 458 dont do alot for me, after playing around for a bit I thought "hang on, this looks pretty good". It seems to flow pretty well and I thought Dark Green highlighted this fact better. It edged out TDF blue.

The tonnaue cover needs work on the above picture, its ok though considering It didnt even have one until I ALMOST posted it here ( I must say it looked fantastic, if not in inpratical with a full length engine bay covered in glass). Other alterations im considering is adding a cream interior...

Comments Appreciated

Me personally, when i saw the coupe i thought nice. As mentioned if the spider looks like the PS mock up, one word..............................WOW

Interesting, the problem I have with those pics is that the windscreen frame looks to high and the top of the doors too low. If you put a driver in it looks like they would be sitting very high up

Its a good point, I thought the dimensions looked wrong my self. Flicking between the two though (458 & 430 Scud), this is roughly where the seating position of the original coupe seat would be.

I wish I found them photoshops sooner, I started from scratch with a 458 & a 430 scud, would have saved me some time lol, I do think my a-pillars and interior look better tho

I do hope, when the Spider does appear, that Ferrari will have done away with the hideous looking exposed roll hoops that blight the appearance of the 360 and 430 Spiders. Lamborghini have managed to deal with the area behind the passenger compartment in an elegant way on both the Gallardo and the Murcielago, so there's no reason why Ferrari can't too.

Prefer yours TC!

Back on topic..

I'm not a massive fan of the tin top version, but this looks good, not too fussy.

I only posted to show what it may look like when its launched, a Google image search didnt show any decent photoshop efforts that "wet" my appetite so I thought id give it a go. Judging by the other pictures linked in this thread - i guess i didnt look hard enough...

Another difference (minor I suppose) between mine and the other versions is the windscreen its self, I have chosen to use the outline/shape/angle of the 430 Scud (while retaining 458 dash top), where as the other effort appears to be using the original Coupe windscreen (note the curvature of the glass).

They look surprisingly similar to the teamspeed images with the logo Photoshopped out. Brilliant.

Roll hoops, seats and windscreen look pretty different to me...

Good job, pal! I much prefer yours to the Teamspeed images, the windscreen looks so much better!

They look simular as they are based on the same image. Netcarshow images to be precise. As others have said, there are a few differences between mine, and their designs. I can assure you that mine was done from from scratch combining a 458 and an F430 Scud Spider. This is why my version has F430 scud A-pillar/windscreen, hoops and seats in both pictures (although 458 dash is retained).

I also chose a more challenging colour which required alot of extra work compared to the traditional re-colouring methods used. I also have the car pre-paint change. In massive HD 1600x1200 form, something I wouldnt have if I used Teamspeeds small images as a starting point

Yeah the straighter windscreen made a big difference I thought, added a more striking outline....

Im glad its getting such a positive response, I was expecting a bit of a flaming in regards to the colour at least, Im thinking of doing a CS/Scud version now....
