Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
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.

I don't see anytin wrong with it.. fabulous & amazing car..
Yellow. I'm bored of red. I think this color looks better. Like the old 355
I like the engine "Vroom !"
Ohhhh the sound of the engine….lovely
I think it looks ok, better looking than the california
I agree with Mel abt the looks of the car
This one and Mclaren MP4-12C which one will you pick?
its like looking at an ugly girl moaning. you just wanna close your eyes and savour the sound. LOL.
ferrari want to look futuristic with this car.
but f360 and f430 is better looking though.
this one looks like a snake
to me Enzo is the best looking…
back to old days…..the silver prancing horse is back in action at the front bumper
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.
just imagine looking at ur rear view mirror on the highway and one of those was tailgating u. looks like a viper ready to strike!
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.
to vincent,
ure so sure abt that..jz wait till this car out…then we can tell hows true ur fact is…i think chinese wouldnt mind bcoz its FERRARI…
mmmmm nothing exciting about the video ….still look like a advertisement skill …
really want to see the diff in details with others super car
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).
ugliest & weird looking ferrari ever…wont buy it even it is cheap. a waste
