reeceu Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 its not a bad looking car, its not as beautiful as the 430 but still not ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Last decent looking ferrari was 360. Gone downhill looks wise ever since. Likewise diablo was best looking lambo. All gone downhill since. Purely on looks and wow factor mind. They still look good but not as good as the older variants. Good news is 360 and diablo can be attained for 40k now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is 360 and diablo can be attained for 40k now I'd maybe agree with the Diablo (although i'm keen on the Muira too) But I think the 360 is horrid. The F430 facelift sorted it out though.

supra_aero Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 F430 rear lights look wrong - like the enzo's look wrong. Looks rushed, unfinished and totally ruins the look of the car imo. Especially comparing it to f40/f50/355/360/550/456 etc. Muira was an exception btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 IMHO, the 458 is completely full of win. It's stunning, ground-breaking and unique. I don't get the animosity against new-age Fezzas personally. I think the 599 is one of the all-time best looking cars, and I'd have one in a heartbeat. I suspect people's impressions are largely based on the want/wallet ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I suspect people's impressions are largely based on the want/wallet ratio. Don't think its that to be honest. In all seriousness looks will always be subjective. I just think modern day cars generally don't have the wow factor anymore. The mkiv supra made my jaw drop when I first saw one. Looked like nothing else on the road. That 458 certainly doesn't do that. I think its to do with given the current financial times, no car manufacturer wants to risk creating a supercar which looks totally new and different for fear it'll potentially financially ruin the company. So established manufacturers are being far more cautious and designing closely along the lines of previously successful models and deliberately not trying anything too radical anymore. Porsche takes that ethos to all new heights hardly making any changes each time they claim to make a new 911 Price has little to do with it in my opinion. Though in all fairness if that 458 was £10k I'd say it looks a lot better than I am giving it credit for. But for £200k ?!?!?

tbourner Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I think the 458 is gorgeous! I loved the F430 as well and was never really a fan of the 360. I'm waiting for Ferrari to ring me up and offer me a free 918 Spyder to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'd agree looks are subjective you can't argue with the technical highlights of new Ferraris though. However, I can't agree on this: I think its to do with given the current financial times, no car manufacturer wants to risk creating a supercar which looks totally new and different for fear it'll potentially financially ruin the company.
