While at the 2010 Ferrari Festival at Fuji Speedway, a tour of the parking lot soon turned up examples of one the of the cars making its Japan debut at the event, the striking 458 Italia.
The car that replaces the F430 certainly is a worthy successor to the most popular model from the brand.
It turns out there was a pair of the new machine at Fuji. Note this example had rather more sporty wheels than the white one.
Better illustrated in this image.
The 458 looks destined to become yet another classic in Ferrari's unparalleled lineage.
And one final shot of the rear of the car. The California-esque rear lights make quite a statement.

More Ferraris please.
ugly
i lkike the rims on the white one better.
now lets just wait for some tuners to take inspiration on the design of the lamps and put it on their RX7's or NSX's.
cLEASNEST, MEANEST FERRARI ON THE STREETS!!!
@klaus, that's what I thought when I saw the first pictures.. but I've meanwhile seen two out on the street, one of them came the other way when we were both doing 100kph.. and I almost drove of the street, that's how stunning this thing looks compared to "normal" sportscars of late.. it looks like from another age.. not really my taste either but definitely stunning.
...you didn't take a picture of the yellow 430 Scuderia 16M standing in the background in the last picture...how could you!!!!!IT'S SOOO RARE!!!
behind the black italia 458, is that a Koenig Specials testarossa???
The front looks like it and i can't read the banner on top
look at the size of thoes brake rotors on the front...HUGE!!!
Is that a Koenig Specials Testarossa behind the black italia 458?
Going along with a couple of other posts here, please tell me you didn't JUST take pictures of this car. There was a couple of awesome and rare Ferrari's there.
anyone who says a Ferrari is ugly obviously has 0 sense about design, engineering , and pure artistry.
probably take a set of stretched works over a v12 monster, not this one.
car is a stunner as all Ferrari's are and will be.
estimated double takes per day, easy in the 100's
thanks for this feature, all parts kill and props to the beasts of italy
Damn... that triple exhaust looks ugly....
Too similiar to the corvette...

Just to awesome.
At first glance, I was not a fan of the 458 design. But after while, I started to appreciate what Ferrari had done. As always, Ferraris have form and function. The 458 will look great in race-trim--as seen in this Challenge version: http://www.worldcarfans.com/110052526437/ferrari-458-italia-challenge-spotted
When the 458 Italia first came out, I was on the fence about its looks. I guess I was so used to the F430's styling but it didn't take long for it to grow on me. I really like them. Now if only I could win the lottery already...
Ferraris need two pairs of tail lights!
fo fifty eight: damn so hot
Ferrari really upped their 'entry-level' game starting with the 360, the 430 and now this. This works on every level. Outstanding.
Nice, I saw one yesterday in Monaco.
