FIRST Look: Ferrari's Latest Monster Comes Out To Play

"most exciting launch of a new product you cannot afford"
That's funny because I can afford one. Never assume yum yum. ;)

We're talking about a majority, not a minority.

^What a loser! if you have to make comments about your money, you clearly cannot afford one.

he's a troll, ignore him.

yeah really just because you say you can afford one are we still supposed to beleive it.....My autospies fans you got to remember this is the internet and characters (pennfootball) will say what they want to look good. He can afford whatever he wants to think he can i still wont beleive him (pennfootball) I am the type of person where i have to SEE IT TO BELEIVE IT or you can go to a social site pennfootball and impress some chicks with that line or i could send you a quater and you can call someone who cares. this site is for car enthusiasts.....remember that!!!!

He can afford one folks...the 1:10 scale. Such arrogance...this car looks like a McLaren.

type707... I don't know, the 1:10 scales are pretty expensive. Perhaps 1:18????

penn: you want to brag? ok lets compare. I have an LS460 07, S550 07, and an R8 4.2. TRUTH IS I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE NEW FERRARI 458 ITALIA. Mind you I am working very hard to get my toys but unless you are worth 5,7-10 million you are not likely to own anything above 200K. Or at least if you were a modest person.

It doesn't matter if you can afford one, the trick is to get a Ferrari dealer to actually sell you a new car. You want the new 458 Ferrari? First you gotta buy a few used ones at exorbitant prices, then they might put you on the 2 year waiting list but only if you guarantee in writing that you will sell the new car back to the dealer when you're though with it (and you better keep the mileage below 1500 miles) so they can continue their automotive version of the Ponzi scheme. Its kinda like a cartel.

But, in the U.S. you will never walk into Ferrari dealer as a new customer with $300,000 in your pocket and get a new Ferrari. They may put you on the 4 year wait list if you know the owner or have snapshots of him making out with David Letterman (ewww)

Seems Ferrari again sets the new standard for MR cars. Traction control is especially impressive. Now, 562 hp and 9000 rpm redline can probably get you 7:35 on Nord if ENZO's 660hp/8000 rpm runs 7:25?

couldn't help but smile throughout the entire video. That car is sensational, I know i won't be able to afford but definitely going to rent this.

Ferrari never disappoints.

Not sure where your response is from..... Did I mention power/weight ratio? Did I compare MR to FR?

Guess not.

Do you understand why I listed redline rpm? I'll plus you one if you can answer correctly.

low, fast looking cars like this (especially bugatti veyron-thats a glaring example) usually look smaller than in the pictures.

I love how ferrari brought back the high screaming revv in the engine :)

Lucky Bastard!

Great video. Awesome performance. But not a pretty car, to my eyes. Weird headlights. Cumbersome rear end. I much prefer the F430 Spyder's styling. A lot. But hey, whatever floats your boat :-)

How do you say "I'm in love" in Italian

Absolutely brilliant! How long will they be able to top themselves so definitively every single time!? I want it in white.

I love the configurator on Ferrari's website.

A black 458 with chocolate leather interior...drool.

That is a hot car. For the same money you could also get the New Lexus. lol. I had to take a shot. This new car by Ferrari is absolutely stunning.

This car is technically amazing..But in red, it is really not that nice looking. I played around with the configurator the other day and quickly figured out that darker colours instantly make this car into an incredibly beautiful beast. Try the gray colours or black colours and anyone will see the difference. It is sad though, cause Ferrari's should by nature look good in red.

I agree.

I'd gladly take a red one, but I'd prefer the black, dark grey, or dark green they show available instead.

Yup. Go to the 1950-60s colour section and try the Blu Scozia. It's lovely with beige interior.
