Ferrari 458 on its first day in Sydney - 44

Album details

Capture Date: Jun. 17, 2010
City: Sydney Australia
Event: Ferrari of Sydney showroom

I called into Sydney's new Ferrari & Maserati showroom today for the first time. Good idea. This 458 Italia had just arrived. There was still heat coming out of the engine lid. I must say, it's a spectacular looking device in the flesh. A bit fussy in some areas, I'm not convinced by the vents inboard of the headlights. Very nice interior, lots of buttons & knobs to play with. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find a gearstick or a clutch pedal. I'd like to see one in, say, Rivieria Blue. Just to be perverse. Had I known that this was going to be there, I would have taken my camera, as it was I only had the iPhone.

BEAUTIFUL Album O_S. I see so many new details about the 458 I had not noticed before. It is a gorgeous vehicle. Can't wait to drive one and see how that 7 speed dual clutch stacks up. Super album again, one of my current faves on the site!

Hottest car this year! The 458 is so advanced it makes any current Porsche or Lambo look very old skool! That's F1 tech for you! Nice pix!

I'd still rather a GT3RS, purely because it IS old school. Three pedals and all that. Hmmm, haven't we been here before?

No I don't think so, Mark. I don't think we've ever touched on the subject....

There's quite a dramatic Top Gear video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFatyz8w6s4
