458 cooling temp

[tonypask]

I have recently bought a 458 Ferrari which runs at about 83 degrees C when driving
In traffic this quickly rises to 95 c at which point the engine fans cut in and temp drops to 90c where it cycles back up to 95c again
is this normal in the winter for this car any help much appreciated

Yep, pretty normal. They generally let cars run fairly hot these days as its better for emissions. So long as the fan is kicking in and dropping it down I wouldn't be worried.
