I saw a yellow one today in the showroom at Maranellos in Egham, LHD.

I was there at around 12.20. 458 Speciale is much nicer,, imo...Depositors having demos in September, 1st deliveries around Jan time, If I remember correctly.

Still undecided...
Possibly Black with Crema Goldrake racing seats, Shields, yellow calipers, led steering wheel & not alot else!!

ferdi, whats a nice spec costing on a 488?. I was told around 30k should do it. Is this correct?..

Racing seats, led wheel, shields & some other 'cheap' bits will be around 20k I reckon...
Throw lots of carbon at it & you can get to 40/45k quite easily!!

Thanks, buddy. The LED wheel sounds cool..

Name and deposit down around 2 months ago was quoted mid to late next year which suits me fine. Only dilemma will be do i let go of my 991 gt3 or not when it arrives. Spec wise will keep it simple, red on black with red stitching, shields, led steering, upgraded rims and couple of other small bits.

GT3 is NA, will it be the last, maybe not. If you can afford to though, then keep it, jmo....Just boils down to money really.

Obviously I'm going to need to see one of these in the flesh and will be test driving one but from that angle I don't think that is an attractive car.

I was not keen on it, Br, too GT'ish compared to the 458. Its gagging for optional extras to make it look like it should have..

I know what you're saying Keith, the Speciale really grabbed me, so much more than the boggo 458. But the 488 needed something different, something special that separates it. It doesn't seem to have that on first looks. Need to get up close to one.

""Keith"", st, you have a good memory, Brad.
Hope you well and good too..
