Only UK 488 GTB...

[ajr550]

Had a look this afternoon.Styling is a bit underwhelming as a result of being so familiar with 458.I prefer Speciale styling updates (but I would say that wouldn't I!).
Only new bit is engine which is obviously a big change so success of model will depend on how it goes.
I assume this is a bit of a stop gap until all new V8.

Or may be this is the last one? I'd heard the replacement will be a 1.6 TT V6

most rosso corsa cars come with crema leather

Only in the UK, only since the late 70s / early 80s. God knows why.

Um, no. You must have funny coloured cream on your strawberries down your way.

That cop show car is done in beige. Americans and most in the UK call it tan.

You might want to look that up; Ferrari "tan" doesn't exist.

Behemoth is right, tan is just the name people use. (But beige is the colour you're thinking of )

Its Crema, Sabbia, Beige, then Cuoio. In order of lightest to darkest (on a 458/488)

Went to see this today.
Unfortunately like the f430, I dislike the rear intakes.
The 458 Speciale sitting next to it looked so much better IMHO.

Sorry I thought it would be obvious as opening mail was about the 488 at HR Owen

These at their Lamborghini shop looked stunning.

This ^
I do love the aventador, but it is a tad too much look at me. Does sound ridiculous with a race exhaust though!
The speciale is more a live and a drivers car - of all the cars posted above I would hands down pick a speciale. Naturally Aspirated v8 heaven..

Not convinced by the 488 front end at all. rear good though.

Just looked in at the red car (203395)

It felt to me like the aerodynamics looked better resolved than on the 458 and actually the dark interior felt like a really nice place to be (previous 458s that I'd been in or driven had all had light interior)
