In this months Car Magazine, Luca says:
"I have no intention of doing a 458 Scuderia - I can't create an aeroplane!"
Thanks to seanpburke on fchat for this scan!

Thoughts folks? A bluff or did everyone's 430 Scuds just raise in price a tad

 

playing possum

 

I call BS on his statement

 

It's gotta be bs... There's been a 360cs and an F430 Scud so for sure they will do a 458 scud, they would be silly not to. He isn't going to mention it because they dont want sales to drop or for people to simply wait for the Scud version. Even though its a different industry all together, people constantly do this with xbox/ps3 games, for example David Jaffe swore that he was not working on a new Twisted Metal, flat out said in interviews that he has no intention and is not working on a new one then a few months later it was announced. He felt bad but it has to be done. I believe there will be a 458 Scud.

 

I hope it's called the Tifoso. Sounds much cooler.

 

I don't think he is lying at all. There will be no 458 Scuderia, it will be named something completely different. =)

 

Me too! Forgot this little pchop I did last october...

 

If the competitors do it I am sure Ferrari will do the same with the 458.

 

Nice marketing job by Ferrari lol. There will be a 458 lightweight, the demand for it will probably exceed the Scud.

 

They will release a statement someday, customers demand a V8 with lighter weight and exotic material like Carbon fiber, etc. Samething what they did with the 599.
