More pix, plus the press release.
Is it me, or does the new Ferrari 458 Italia look like it came out of Ridge Racer?

 

[subzero9285]

Best looking Ferrari since the F355.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

looking good

IDK, I kinda prefer the looks of the F430 myself.

OTOH, it has a top speed of 202 MPH, about the same as the F40, so it has that going for it.

Then again, it doesn't have a proper manual gearbox, just the 7-speed DSG from the California... I'm conflicted...

 

[Kabouter]

F430 looks better imho.

 

[Stahsky]

already got it, link something more expensive

 

[SuperÑ]

Just bought a F430 :'(

 

[Shawsie64]

omg thats sex

 

[Taiser]

ugh ... i hate the front.

should've kept it 430 Scuderia Style.

 

[jey_16]

looks good although i will need to see some real pics to actually compare it to the F430

 

[subzero9285]

The more I see of it, the more convinced I am. This car is quite beautiful especially its side profile.

 

[duckroll]

I really like the curves around the body, but the front of the car looks very comical to me. The design makes it look a little too much like something out of Cars, with an actual face. The overall body shape and the rear definitely look pretty cool though.

Like I said in the OP, it wouldn't look out of place in a Ridge Racer game.

I like it, the proportions are just about perfect.

 

[equap]

so hot!

in 4 1

 

[RSTEIN]

beautiful... except those fugly lights.

 

[tirminyl]

At first I hated it but every time I see it now, I just fall more and more in love with it!

 

[StoOgE]

That is a fucking hot car. Something about it seems a bit like a cross between a Ferrari look and something Lambo might come out with.

 

[Leonsito]

Just bought a F430 :'(

Fucking Apple and their upgrades.

 

[Weenerz]

Hey thats a car!

 

[Goldrusher]

It's like a mix of the Enzo (shape, especially side profile) and the 360 (curves). A bit of California (rear wheel covers) and 599 (side window air flow thing) too.

Not a big fan of the triple exhaust though.

This is the first Ferrari that looks like it's a Ferrari since the F360 IMHO.

 

[crazy monkey]

The front should be little longer.

Dear Ferrari

Please design better looking cars.

Yours sincerely

[Canova]

It's so beautiful.

 

[Forsete]

Looks great. Hated the Enzos look (front), so this is much better.

I just read Ferrari's reply to you on their website...

Dear Proposition,

We'll begin to cater to you when you can afford one of our cars.

[Animal]

just when you thought they couldn't get any sexier...

 

[StoOgE]

The Enzo is built for a very different market than this is. This is for the super rich. The Enzo is for the unfucking believably rich.

Wow, this thing is gorgeous.

I like this one better

[Learn2read]

Not sure if those elongated headlights are necessary...a beauty otherwise though.

 

[lcbrus]

I love the front and side views of the car. I'm not just too fond of the tail lights.

:lol

 

[X26]

F430 looks a lot better, this is just a combination of the F430 and Enzo and I don't think it works all that well.

edit: posted before seeing side profile pic, wierd it looks REALLY good from that angle like an NSX and a enzo had a lovechild. Guess it's the front that I think doesn't look great

 

[dskillzhtown]

That looks hot as hell. I couldn't afford the up-keep much less the price of the car itself.

 

[Jeffahn]

I like what I see, but does it come in hybrid?

...

 

[Steppenwolf]

Not a fan of the front but it looks really good from the side and from behind.

 

[Dark Octave]

Side windows are too big.

Other than that, it's cool. A true sports car.

 

[iamaustrian]

looks good.
hardcastle and mccormick revival

 

[akachan ningen]

It's nice but I still prefer both the 355 and 360.

 

[Zaptruder]

Quite gorgeous from the rear and sides... that 3/4 front shot otoh makes the front wind shield look too bulbous.

The details are all quite exceptional, except for the front headlights... which are a little too outlandish. Maybe they'll grow on me, but I think a more traditional shape would make the car look even better at this point.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

It's definitely an improvement over the F430, but I don't care for the elongated headlights. Triple exhaust pipes look a bit tacky, too, but this is just nitpicking. The overall shape is much cleaner than most of their recent designs, and I think it'll only grow on me more. Looking forward to seeing some real test figures. This may be a winner.

 

[Askia47]

Put this in GT5!

 

[PatzCU]

Looks great, and I'm sure it will have a commanding presence on the road regardless of how people feel about the car. The only thing I'm not loving are the 3 exhaust pipes. I love how every car manufacturer now just devises ways to cram as many LED lights in the headlights as possible.

Sure, the LED setup on this Ferrari will look incredible, it's just a funny new trend.

 

[mr.beers]

Look at those brake rotors those are monsterous. It should be able to stop quite quickly lol.

 

[neorej]

Can't wait for Clarkson to take this puppy for a spin BTW

 

[schuey7]

I think it looks great from the side , reminds me of a few concept cars or mockups i've seen before but cant remember where.

 

[Zhuk]

Great looking car, definitely will look better with real life pics though.
