Black 430 or Rossa 458?

I would set myself a budget and then look for the most attractive offer, whether 458 or 430. The prices of the 458 and 430 overlap in a rather wide range, so a 458 in poor condition with a lot of miles on the clock is cheaper than a perfectly maintained 430 with less miles. A 430 and a 458 embody the old Ferrari virtues of the V8 naturally aspirated engine with high-rev concept. If you compare them with a Porsche Turbo, both will fascinate you with exactly these virtues. IMO both vehicles have their advantages and disadvantages, in the end it is a question of personal taste (and car condition).

 

F430 will be more raw and engaging, the pinnacle of Ferrari analog. In my opinion the pininfarina styling is nicer with the cleaner flowing roofline and higher rear plus the intakes, gives a more agressive look.

The 458 will be more refined and have better performance metrics. More modern look.

 

And that SOUND from the F430....so amazing! I am sure that if I had unlimited funds I would look at more current cars, but for ~$110K, to get this kind of performance, its hard to beat! enjoy whatever you get

 

Hyperblack all the way.
