VIDEO: More sights and sounds of the 458 Italia

Ferrari 458 Italia

I can definitely ignore how bad the new 458 Italia looks after this video… plenty of engines screaming and tyres screeching. Two Ferrari 458 Italias battle it out on a track. It should help any potential owners decide between yellow and red… heh. Check the video out after the jump.

    Yellow. I’m bored of red. I think this color looks better. Like the old 355

    Well guys, the Ferrari will always be Ferrari, I doubt any other brand can beat it. even zonda, McLaren, Lambo, etc is still way behind Ferrari due to fact that Ferrari delivers more active tech rather than others which is still stuggling to establish their dominance in sport cars segment.

    It is surely very exciting. Superb motion.
    I remember when Alfa Romeo was not able to sell 164 in Malaysia. It was due to its name. 164 means you will keep dying or loosing. So, Chinese won’t buy them.
    458 is very bad for the Chinese. It means No matter what, you won’t prosper.
    Prosperity is very important to the Chinese. 5 means NO. 8 means PROSPER. 4 menas Keep on OR Die.

    458 reads keep on won’t prosper.

    It will never sell in any Chinese community. China is anyones biggest market now. Even Ferrari wants to sell their cars there. BUT 458 will not sell, and they don’t know it is not because of their design.

    I don’t think it would matter. If you can afford to buy the 458 you’ve probably prospered enough. No need to worry.

    it’s one of the ugliest Ferrari’s ever made

    This car looks too futuristic. It’ll probably lasts for ten years before any replacement will ever be produced.

    Outlook – A real No no style. Still prefer F430 Scuderia
    Performance- A yes yes amazing performance
    Interior – Really fall in love with the streering wheel and new style multifunction computer.

    If the replacement will come 10 years after this 458, it will be great.
    Planning to buy one as collection within 10-15 years later. Wish the one I
    buy later will have 600hp+ with KERS system, on board computer like this already amazing 458, full of button and multifunction steering wheel like this 458 and hopefully adopt most of the technology from F1, gear change only take 0,03 second. 0-100km/h in 3 sec flat and 1/4 mile at high 10 sec. Oh I am dreaming … Wish my dream come true … All the best to everyone

    When you buy Ferrari, you buy the technology and the brand name “Ferrari”. Something that even the legendary Nissan Skyline GTR don’t have (well I love Nissan Skyline GTR as well, my favorite R34, Godzilla).
