Ferrari 458 Italia in action

Now Ferrari is copying Honda... that's the HSC with an even uglier rear. ;)


Some nice video footage in this video. unique camera angles. very rare to see a ferrari go off-track.... except for this:

Ugly!? Wrecked Exotics? You hater :smile: In this era of recession and green awareness we should be grateful that anyone has the brand and the balls to launch a mid-engined exotic. Honda took a single crack at making exotics nearly a quarter century ago, meantime Ferrari has introduced 6 new mid-engined models and surely hasn't even thought about Honda since the mid 90s.

I think the design cues that make you think of the HSC stem from the Zonda. The HSC looked like a kit car from the rear. With all the owners and talent on this forum I'm yet to see anyone do a HSC rear-end conversion :smile:
 
I am going to have to get used to the styling. I am not sure i like the front lights or the rear at all. I don't like the move to single lights in the rear.
 
This thing is much uglier than the HSC. The F430 looks much better IMO. Still, nice car.

+1 Nice car....but...styling...needs to grow on me. I prefer the F430 or even the F360 front and rear ends. The 458..looks like a plastic toy. Granted a nice, expensive, and fast toy, but still. :cool:
 
the only design i have liked in a while. can't wait to see it in person.

Yea, I disagree with the others. I think the front end is kind of weird looking, but the rear is refreshing while being reminiscient of the Enzo. I think the car looks great overall and the video does make them look enticing.

I have to disagree with you on the front end. If you play the video clip towards the end, play and pause. It looks very mean and aggressive.
 
Ugly car, great specs though(570 HP, 7 speed DCT).

It looks like frankenstein - FUGLY face with HSC mid section and Enzo/F430 Hybrid rear.:eek:
 
Video was good. I love this car. Simply the best non-NSX looking supercar out there. Now...if I only had $200k...:tongue:

I'd order it in dark metallic grey w/yellow calipers and gunmetal wheels.

I didn't mean weird in a bad way. I meant the front is not orthodox and it looks like some kind of animal with the highly detailed headlights, reminds me of some kind of shark or sea creature... nothing like any other car out there as far as detail. The wedge and low profile give its that mean look tho. The proportions are beautiful and solid.

That Gran Turismo tribute made it look even better ;)
