    Ferrari 488 GTB- The end of N/A V8's

    Ferrari's 458 replacement has a 3.8L V8 with twin-turbos making....661bhp and 561lb ft of torque.

    I like it, but I want to know what it sounds like.

    So, this car makes more power than the Enzo. Since when did the baby Ferraris get so powerful?

    Since Dodge Challengers had 707 hp, Corvettes had 650, Lamborghini has 602, and the GTR is nipping at its heels or beating it at tracks.

    The horsepower wars are in a major swing. And the high zoot model makes 900+ hp so they have a very high ceiling to play with.

    Gorgeous thing! I'm in love! I was never a fan of the 458, I just found it rather ugly. It just wasn't elegant and graceful as I think a Ferrari should be. This however is stunning! Not that I will ever sit in one, never mind own one. I might see one as there's a Ferrari garage not far from my ex's house but that's as close as I'm likely to get.

    Non supercar Ferraris (anything other than F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari etc) haven't really sounded that great since the late 90's. The 355 was the last good sounding non supercar Ferrari (360 isn't too bad though), but the 430, 458, California and others all sound way too similar. :/

    The F458 looks awesome, but the sound doesn't do it justice (and yes, i have seen some in real life - the 355 annihilates them soundwise).
