Very nice!

I originally wanted to get a 650S or a Continental GT3R but opted for the 458 instead.

Got a new ride this week!
By: AnthonyTsai : June 1st, 2018-17:21
I've had the FF for 2 years and decided it was time to change cars, so I swapped the FF to a 458 Spider. I've always loved the curves of the 458 (the most sexy recent production Ferrari in my book) and find it much more sensuous than the current 488. I'm ...
Very cool.
By: InHavenPro : June 1st, 2018-17:25
I like the 458 a lot better than the 488 as well. Plus it's a naturally aspirated engine as opposed to turbocharged . Much joy to you with the new machine! Cheers, Filip
I'm momentarily....

forgetting if the GTC4 Lusso is n/a or not but I really like that car quite a bit, much more so than the practical but odd (to my eyes) looking FF. Cheers, Filip
The GT4Lusso is already in the stores
By: AnthonyTsai : June 1st, 2018-18:15
Ferrari tweaked every detail (from the seats, shifting, etc) ever so slightly and made the FF even better with the GTC4Lusso imo.
Beautiful car.

What is FF? A particular model of Ferrari? I have been looking at F430 s to replace my 911. Thanks CB
You can have it either
By: Marcus Hanke : June 4th, 2018-07:03
The 12 cylinder engine is naturally aspirated, but this year, Ferrari added an "entry level" GTC4Lusso with a biturbo 8 cylinder that is said to e even faster (well, it doesn't have the 4 wheel drive of its big brother). Marcus
Oh,
By: InHavenPro : June 4th, 2018-10:50
so that's where my confusion stems from . I follow their account on google so I receive news updates all the time but I ended up uncertain about that stat for what are now quite obvious reasons! Thanks Marcus, cheers, Filip
Wow, congratulations!

That's a striking combination of car, color, and accents. Are those wheels factory options or aftermarket? Best, Tim
Definite fun times ahead :)
By: AnthonyTsai : June 2nd, 2018-10:44
I haven't even switched it to Race mode yet. Still getting used to Sport mode for the time being.
I've always loved yellow accents on cars
By: AnthonyTsai : June 2nd, 2018-10:47
and I'm so happy this car has ceramic brakes so you get the yellow calipers, yellow seatbelts, yellow stitching on the leather, and the yellow F badge!
Awesome!

How you like yours?
I like it a lot! But...
By: dr.kol : June 3rd, 2018-14:34
we have a lot of snow during the winters. I have 911 Targa 4 GTS (the last non-turbo) and that's the right type of sportive car for our conditions. That's a great car on icy or snowy roads. Best, Kari
Great choice !
By: Horology75 : June 2nd, 2018-00:01
It is the last naturally aspirated V8 offerings from Ferrari. If you could look around then & if by chance then Trade it with Italia . FF I had for a while and loved it as it was a daily ride and had a great road presence . This 458 is for your pleasure a...
Have you had a chance to drive the GT4Lusso V12 version?
By: AnthonyTsai : June 2nd, 2018-10:50
One person who owned a 458 first test drove the GT4Lusso twin-turbo V8 version and said it was a total let down. He found the V12 version much more to his liking after being used to a 458.
Very nice!

B Continental is a great and a beautiful ride ..
By: Horology75 : June 2nd, 2018-13:24
The S65 coupe is sweet as well but yet again the sound of the 458 and the soul is far different then the other two. B Continental is a good 50 year old car and so is the S65 coupe . For the time being try to find an italia 458 and keep it
Thanks very much!
By: AnthonyTsai : June 2nd, 2018-10:53
I'll try to bring it out for a spin every time I can!
I do so far!
By: AnthonyTsai : June 2nd, 2018-10:54
Do you have a 458 as well?
Great choice Anthony …
By: Cpt Scarlet : June 2nd, 2018-02:55
now you need to set your alarm clock for an early morning drive on your favourite road. Enjoy !
My neighbors won't like my early morning drives :P
By: AnthonyTsai : June 2nd, 2018-11:01
They already jokingly msg me when they hear me drive off. "Oh Anthony is going somewhere now. I hear him. LOL" My entire community is going to hate me when I drive it at 5:30am :P
Gorgeous
By: descartes1 : June 2nd, 2018-08:17
I agree the looks are superior to the 488, by far
Anthony, that’s a fabulous car!
By: cazalea : June 3rd, 2018-07:13
I like the special detailing and options too. My only fear would be a desire to get black jeans with yellow stitching- and maybe yellow suede driving shoes and matching belt ... (I find myself looking for a red hat that will exactly match the Carnival Red...
Thanks Mike!
By: AnthonyTsai : June 3rd, 2018-09:21
I just remembered I do have the perfect watch to match the car - my "Dawn of the New Day" prototype AP Offshore which has a black strap w/ yellow stitching strap & yellow accents on the watch - AT ...
Congratulations !!!
By: bimbeano : June 4th, 2018-12:47
The last of the free aspiring V8 Ferrari's ! 570 hp is double of my Renaults 280 hp and i already think it's overkill for our local roads . Just be careful Anthony ! Filip
Keep it forever!

I like that "Cuoio" interior too, but when I see the interior of this one in black, it looks fantastic! That's a sharp looking car! Beautiful. And yes, I'm not fond of the 488, especially that slit in the back just under the Horse logo.
Cool ride.
By: JerryW : August 6th, 2018-18:54
My next F car will have Cuoio interior, just need to choose the exterior color.
You will find yourself missing...
By: wootwoot : August 25th, 2018-04:16
The comfort and propulsive push of the FF and the peerless sound of its V12 but the 458 definitely has charms of its own. Track it and you'll see 🏁 😉
