Re: Rennteam's tribute to the Ferrari 458...lots of photos, videos, etc.
I hope these are not reposts, 2 videos of the 458 at Frankfurt. in filim you apreciate the proportions better and all.
i'm sure we'll see those air vents and aluminum pieces get the carbon fiber treatment later on. i predict much more carbon coming for the interior.

Of course. Ferrari knows rather well how to rip off their customers.

thanks for the pics!!
I prefer the interior in black too...
Although I normally really like cuoio leather, I think it just doesn't look right in a 458 Italia. The new interior design is so revolutionary and to me it looks best in black, maybe with some dark grey or alcantara accents. Deviating stitching eventually, but somehow I feel that a bit less may be more in case of this car.

Exactly my thoughts. Beige/Cuio etc. do not look quite technically enough for this high-tech car 
This car needs a black interior.

All options are little bit too expensive IMHO.

Expensive are electric seats (you don't need them), luggage set (don't need that as well), forged wheels (a shame), special colours (useless) and the racing livery (extremely useless).
Interior colour options are cheaper than Porsche for example, rest of the pricelist is in line with former Ferrari pricelists.
So no big surprise for me.

Translation of the price list to English with a rough UK price indication at a rate of 1.09 Euros to the £ for anyone interested in the UK. Not sure that I've translated option code ULEZ correctly though so perhaps our Dutch members could help?
Re: Rennteam's tribute to the Ferrari 458...lots of photos, videos, etc.
At least LSD, 7-speed double-clutch transmission, launch control, paddle shifters, leather upholstry and 19" wheels come as standart equippment, unlike Porsche 
There is no extra equippment for peformance requirements. (Well maybe the bucket seats which are not ready to order yet)

Standard wheels are also 20", you only have the choice between standard 348-style-20" and optional forged 16M-style-20".

I think ULEZ is the same as UALZ, but leather instead of alcantara. So ULEZ means colour to choice for leather lining for upper cabin. 
BTW: it's the first time, that metallic paint costs extra, isn't it?

Stefan,
Metallic paint, AFS lights and Navi are all way too expansive IMHO. Navi at least should be standard item(aand choice for non cost delete Navi option). Metallic is... I do not know what to say-too much.
210K € in Germany with Mwst. is not a problem at all. Add 20" Forged wheels and some other things and you are at 220K € in no minute.
BTW, I heard some things about CF option. With full CF trim price will be at 235K € level in Germany. Even if it is 458 it is too much IMO.

ISUK:
Sorry guys. I made an error in the translation of option code PNTO. I think it's "Out of range colour" as opposed to metallic which would explain the cost.
I thought so. That means metallic is still a no cost option, as it always has been.

Re: Rennteam's tribute to the Ferrari 458...lots of photos, videos, etc.
THis is an expensive car. it gives me pause.
My biggest problem is utility. All these technological marvels are useless on southern California roads. Each day speed monitoring on roads where you can exercise your car are being increased. Rarely if ever are you able to utilize a fraction of what the car can do. I can understand the purchase if you track the car but I never will. With my 430 I drove it because I did not want it to be a garage queen especially after paying $235,000 for it. Ultimately, I paid the price when I sold it.
Do I want to do this again especially considering that California sales tax is over 9%, license fee doubled and the car with a modicum of option all together will cost close to $300,000?
Is it worth it to own the latest and greatest Ferrari?

Re: Rennteam's tribute to the Ferrari 458...lots of photos, videos, etc.
It's not just the issue of exercising the car's speed potential on our speed limited highways. The level of distraction among drivers is astonishing. Whether it is the phone, intoxicants, lack of training/skill, or lack of socialization, our roads in the US have become chaotic adding an element of danger that congestion alone does not encompass. Lane changing on the highway is akin to a random event comparable to Brownian movement. It's difficult enough risking my Cab in this environment, let alone a new Ferrari. Still, the 458 is tugging at me to a far greater extent than any of its recent ancestors. This may be one of those things to do before dying, financial prudence be damned.

In Turkey, with %118 tax, 458 will cost 400K Euro with a few extras.
Yearly tax is 6500 euro; and the insurance is around 20K Euro. How is that?

All excellent points. Speaking of other driver distractions, you should try driving a new Ferrari. A lot of head turning and frequent unsafe driving to get close.
Finally to your point 'doing one of those things before you die', how do you think I have justified buying Ferrari's for the last 10 years?

Re: Rennteam's tribute to the Ferrari 458...lots of photos, videos, etc.
ISUK,
you translated ULEZ correctly: The color of the upper interior at the passengers compartment. UALZ is Alcantara lining for upper zone. I think the difference is in color and material... don't know for sure though.
And indeed, PNTO is a color out of their standard range, not specifically metallic paint.
