I was lucky enough to buy a 488 GTB in June 2020 (+19% in the US market, according to the video). After more than 2 years and 12,000 miles, I...
Looks like a 458 Speciale to me. Can see a not-quite-mangled air intake on the hood. And racing harnesses - not sure if they were an option on the...
4). Damp / wet road surface. I rarely take my garden-variety 488 out in the wet, and if I do, the manettino does not leave the WET setting. It's...
Meanwhile in Korea... RC 488 GTB. Bought it June 2020. Soon after I bought the car, I bought 4 Bburago model 488s and kept them in the trunk to...
Bought my first Ferrari (first proper exotic of any kind) in June 2020. Zero anxiety over financial aspects. It was a childhood dream, and it...
This is the first new car design in a while that I liked instantly, perhaps because it's not 'challenging', and very derivative - of cars I think...
You're right - straight line flowing into curve over the wheel arch aft of the intake. For some reason it just doesn't look right to me on the 296...
Other knee-jerk reactions: - Much prefer the wheel design over F8. Reminiscent of the 458 Speciale wheel. - I like that the front end design is...
It strikes me as a car of two halves. The first 'half' of the car is a sharp tailored Armani suit (angular), and then the rear goes all Versace on...
This sums up my initial impression of the design - not cohesive, to my untrained, unprofessional eye. I find the dead-straight line leading into...
I'm in the apparent minority who don't prefer the appearance of the F8. I'm sure it's a step up over the 488 but I can't get anywhere near the...
That's a very good shout. Although I've never had a problem using the lifter, even with some pretty nasty inclines - just got lazy with it this...
I live in a city that roughly translates into ancient Chinese as "Many Mountains" (Busan). So yeah, I need it a lot. I was exiting the brand...
Absolutely beautiful!! I would have taken a 488 in either red or black, ended up with rosso corsa. I'm also favoring a dark color for the...
My Korea spec 488 doesn't have this feature (or it can be disabled in a menu). I was on a 'spirited drive' down an empty twisty one time, faster...
Congratulations!! Living the dream. I'm having an internal debate over which spec 812 to pursue. My 488 is the classic Rosso Corsa over Beige...
I heard a YT motoring 'journalist' the other day say that the step up from 458 to 488 was almost as big a leap as the step from F430 to 458....
I'm guessing Chinese women will account for a large % of sales. I live in Asia and most Urus drivers here are young rich tasteless posers who...
I'm still waiting to see one in person, but the Roma is certainly not a bad looking car. Seems that younger tifosi see it as derivative of Aston...
I was doing some work in a cafe recently and I glimpsed out the window a restricted side view of what I assumed was a Hyundai Santa Fe, or...
