LaFerrari is kind of lame, but Scuderia means "stable" in Italian, it is totally cool.

You are not a noob, you had the feeling of boiling blood

I can't list all the features, I am working!!

Just the usual, we all know how it is going to be, will be the same formula as the Challenge Stradale and Scuderia, but we all want to see it.

What I see from these 2 pics:

1, Air outlet scoop on the hood.
2, Air inlet holes on the outer corners of the front bumper.
3, More aggressively styled front bumper.
4, Racing stripes down the center of the car.
5, Lower ride height.
6, Light weight concave twin 5 spokes wheels with flusher offset, tires looks wider.
7, Air inlet scoop in front of the rear wheels.
8, Dual high mount exhaust tips.
9, One piece rear challenge grill between the taillights.

I still take a California over my SC430 though Barely though, I honestly think the California is really ugly.

I guess I can close my eyes and just hear the sounds.

458 Speciale.

A Ferrari Speciale for special emotions.

It’s called the 458 Speciale: it’s Ferrari’s new sportscar, the fruits of the innovation and extreme technological research that have gone into a car as outstanding as the 458 Italia.

The aerodynamic efficiency (an E index of 1.5), a more powerful aspirated V8 engine (605bhp) and the highest power density (135 bhp/l) in the history of Ferrari road cars, an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio (2.13bhp/kg), electronic control of the slip angle (SSC): these are some – but not all – of the characteristics that make this car truly Speciale and that are destined to become standard for the Ferraris of the future. The aptness of the car’s name is easily shown by its performance figures: accelerating from 0-100km/h in 3s (or 9.1s for 0-200km/h) and a best lap time round Fiorano of 1m 23.5s.

The new 8-cylinder mid-engine berlinetta, which will be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 10, was designed with the target of raising performance and driving emotion to the highest levels, while still guaranteeing ease of control in every situation.
