Default God........ I love this car
This in my view is the most perfect car I've ever seen.

I took the Mrs out for a Sunday lunch a few months ago and came out to find one of these parked beside my P1 in the car park & mate these 458 Italia's are SOOOOO nice in real life.

I've seen most cars in the flesh but this ticked more of my boxes than anything I have ever seen.

Pure class.










































and this comes a close 2nd.

Love'em as does my boy, but you try finding a good 1:18 scale model that doesn't cost the earth.

Was worried when they released the Spyder as don't normally like soft-tops, and didn't think they could better the hard-top...but boy have they.........

Wasn't quite as blown away by the initial pics of the 458 as a lot of people seemed to be, but once I had seen one in the flesh and up close my opinion quickly changed. Totally stunning. If I was in the market for a supercar (never going to happen sadly) this would be top of the pile of the current options.

Agree Ross. It's not until you see a 458 in front of you that you realise just how nice it is.

I am not usually a fan of Ferrari's. Can't explain why?

But, that 2nd image down, is giving me a lazy lob

they are awesome in the flesh and lot better now they don't catch fire!!

We dealt with a guy at work once on Park Lane who was in a 458 at the time when we spoke to him, he said he liked it but it wasn't as nice as his 599 he had which in his words 'is the big daddy' he then drove off and came back less than an hour later in his 599 to show us.... twas a sight to behold!!

I first saw the 458 in red and wasn't that blown away. Thought it was much nicer than the 360 and 430, but not top of my list...


...then I saw a black one and was suddenly a much bigger fan! Keep seeing the same black 458 around Bromley and Biggin Hill, its properly stunning.

Saw it at Goodwood last year and walked away with a funny limp, quite simply the prettiest, sexiest car to come out of Maranello in years.

Agreed. Didn't like it in the red, but when I saw a black one i was in love. They're pretty special to drive too
