Ferrari F458 Italia

It's like a Ferrari bodied 4C.

 

[FT-1]

Looks like the inevitable successor to the Speciale, I would imagine this is pushing north of 700hp!

 

[VXR]

They must have received some very damning feedback from customers if the 488 Speciale was to get all-new bodywork. It's most likely an SP one-off.

It's RHD, so maybe Eric Clapton.

 

[FT-1]

Coming to think of it, this 488 looks too different to be a "Speciale" and the right hand drive spec does make it seem like a one off. But then again, the F12 TdF has also got some major bodywork changes compared to the regular F12.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Are those... smaller rims? Wow.

I know they're not really the same, but the hood vents reminded me of the old, wild 360 SuperGT car. I miss that.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Lack of camo is surprising. I'm thinking it's an SP car as well. Looks great either way.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I'm seeing shades of Evora in the roofline and NSX in the rear haunches.

 

[GTboyz]

I love it. This is the first time i really said that to a new Ferrari

 

[TheCracker]

It's RHD, so maybe Eric Clapton.

It's also white, so maybe Chris Evans?

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

That looks *very* Evora.

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

I actually like the Evora, and this even more.

Didn't say it was a bad thing. Actually this does look better than the 488.

Some rumors on FChat claiming this may be built on a 458 Speciale as it doesn't sound turbo-charged, and that Ferrari may have only placed some 488-inspired body work on the rear. RHD points to an owner in the UK market as the Japanese owners tend to prefer LHD.

It's a one-off 458 Speciale called 458 MM Speciale.

 

[FT-1]

It's a one-off 458 Speciale called 458 MM Speciale.

That looks *very* Evora.

Still, would take it over a regular 488. Also RHD which helps!

 

[VXR]

Its only con? That it's a one off. I think it's the best thing Ferrari has done in recent years.

 

[SPhilli911]

Shame they won't make anymore, because that thing is purdy. Profile shot looks like a Ford GT, a bit.

 

[catamount39]

And it had a much better engine...

 

[JTB10000]

It's a one-off 458 Speciale called 458 MM Speciale.

WOW that is sexy. This is the first Ferrari I've actually been stunned by.

 

[GTboyz]

I think this is the first time in many years that i found a new model Ferrari looks so good.

I know this is a Speciale variant but i'd remove the sticker.

It's a one-off 458 Speciale called 458 MM Speciale.

I'm kidding, though. It's an efficient shape that a lot of manufacturers are using, so it makes sense that I'm getting these Ford GT and Evora vibes from different parts of the design, at least on the side profile. It's a gorgeous car, though, one of the few Ferrari one-offs that I really really like, especially in that white.

 

[McLaren]

Someone caught a glimpse of it outside the press photos. That spoiler line is something else for a modern Ferrari.


Price was quoted at $3 million+.

Buy and sell: Ferrari Australasia is trying to tempt owners to sell up models such as the 458 (left) when they purchase a new 488 GTB (below), but many buyers are holding onto both cars.

 

[catamount39]

I know if I owned a 458, they couldn't pay me enough to get rid of it.

 

[FT-1]

Every 458 owner knows since they have the last naturally-aspirated V8 Ferrari model, their car will appreciate in the near future so the logical thing to do is hold onto it. It is already appreciating now in Australia it seems.

Could even have appreciation on '05/'06 Ford GT levels.

oops

One can only hope the Speciale MM makes its way into Forza.
