458 Speciale

[AndrewD]

I'm borrowing one for the weekend, if you see me, wave

Awesome! With or without the stripe? Not many people having it! Stunning car though, a mate of mine has the 458 italia red with black roof and another mate is trading in his 430 spider for one. Let us know how you get on? John

I have absolutely no doubt that car is phenomenal, and would probably spank an Enzo, but am I the only one who thinks the styling seems just a little OTT?

The regular 458 is such a pretty car with such taught, clean lines all those louvres look a bit aftermarket to me, or is it much nicer in the flesh?

[AndrewD]

The styling is functional, eg the louvres. There's a lot of aero development vs a standard 458. There are some Ferrari vids on youtube that explain it

I'm sure some people prefer the look of one over the other, so they can buy the one they like the most I guess!

I wish that were a decision I had to agonise over! If you're coming Sudbury way ever let me know, I'd love to see it (or hear it!)

Come on Andrew give us a review! And if you did add one to your stable, on a beautiful sunny day going around the Suffolk coastline which one would you take? I recently thought the same question for Maff on p/h, he's just took delivery of a 458 special to add to his 458 challenge, 458 spider, F12, 599 GTO, DB4 etc.. You think Christ which one do you choose to drive? Easy for me Ford transit, Ford Galaxy or my Noble! Galaxy has it nearly every time!! John.

S**t the bed!

That's the tits!

Although I think you must feel like a goldfish driving the thing!

It's just you I think!

[jayemm89]

Must be. To be honest I never liked the look of F40s until I saw one in the flesh, then I loved it.

[AndrewD]

I think it looks fab:

From that angle, I'll give you that.
