There is a new Ferrari and it is molto speciale. Ferrari says the 458 Speciale is set apart from the 458 Italia from which it is derived, and even better than the previous Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia special series. I have driven the “regular” 458 on a track and it was a amazing experience. Having just gotten out of Lamborghini’s Gallardo Superleggera, I have to say, the Ferrari was better. Much better. So I can’t wait to see this new special edition in action.
Ferrari will now let you build your own. Check it out, their online configurator is now online. Post your favorite configuration. Here’s mine. I went with carbon fibre. And a lot of it.
