Gregg, the 169,000 Euro includes Vat tax which I believe around 17%. The base is 149,246. At the present euro to dollar exchange that would price the car around $219,391. Earlier I had used an older euro to dollar exchange. 

Also, I was under the impression that CCM were standard. If not, your still better of going with steel.


Nick, you got it all wrong.

Ferrari 458 Italia base price for European markets is 162900€ WITHOUT LOCAL VAT.

VAT is market wise various thing(Germany 19% for example, my market 23%, etc.).

Latest rumor iss that USA price will be adopted to European price-that means huge jump from F430 prices(in USA).
