AMT Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The Ferrari 458 replacement that they couldn't decide how to improve its look so just made a mess of the bumpers and added extra air holeyness... I wasn't a fan of the 458 but even so this ones just a bit of a design muck up I think. Its like they just didn't know how to improve the styling (yes I know a good bit will be designed for speed but still...).

GIXXERUK Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I had a drive of the 458 on a track, it was superb ! I took it out after a Gallardo and it made the lambo feel like a cortina Personally I like the look of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hmmm, its not exactly pretty... the front end has a very big gaping mouth look to it, and side vents for the intercoolers look very strange, and the rear bumper looks... dare I say it... a bit fat? however, 660bhp is a ridiculous amount of power! firstly, its hugely higher than the 458's figure of 562, and secondly, where do they go from there for a lightweight variant in the future? that's got to have around 700bhp, surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 well admittedly its a Ferrari with 660bhp, so that's obviously good... but I have to say, I think her older sister the F458 is prettier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I love it. It's a BEAST ! Reminds me of a challenge/gt3 track car: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it out after a Gallardo and it made the lambo feel like a cortina Personally I like the look of that Must have been on the same track day, I agree completly. I also drove a DB9, the ferrari was bar far the best drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think it looks gorgeous, especially the rear but then i thought i thought the 458 was stunning I guess most of it is functional and a result of improved areo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 If I had to pick an angle its best is directly from the back of it, looks ok there. I have to say its got a bit of the new Ford GT syndrome (and I don't mean some of its placed air vents) in terms of fussy unattractive design, but hey probably more wind tunnel designed. I think they should go back a bit to... just design to make cars truly pretty again... as someone said...where'd you go then.... were gonna run out of power at some point. I wouldn't fancy kicking about in 2000bhp on a day to day basis lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Not bad. More attractive initially than the 458, and the packaging of the power unit is interesting. Hopefully it makes a more pleasing noise than the Cali T, as even with the roof down it's too quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
