I will own up to not being a fan of the Speciale when the first press shots came through. I thought the 458 looked a lot cleaner and that the Speciale was a poor attempt at trying to better a great looking car like Lambo did to the LP560 with the last hurrah version of the Gallardo. I thought wrong. After getting used to all the press pics/videos etc of late of the laferrari, suddenly the Speciale makes sense and the pics of that yellow demonstrator are jawdropping! Congrats to all those fortunate enough to have one/coming soon and look forward to reading your thoughts and pics!

Worth checking out this group for the 458 Speciale on flickr, as new pictures being added all the time by over 100 members worldwide.

Some great shots of some very nice specced Speciale's.

There was a yellow LHD Speciale with blue stripe on the Gumball rally - not sure if it was there for the US leg, but looked awesome in London.

Not a fan of the carbon sills and filler cap, otherwise it's stunning.

It must be like specifying tourette's, you buy a nice car specify the right colour, wheels, carbon etc and they you have a twitch and f_\%k it all up for no fathomable reason.
Each to their own!

On the config the yellow (with Nero rather than grey) doesnt look to bad in fact my lad was desperate for me to go with it, (mine is white too) I didnt.. looking at those pictures to say I am relieved is an understatment....

Looks fantastic in yellow - love the alcantara too, makes it seem much more hardcore.
