Performance will be amazing, but that front end just doesn't work at all for me

It's starting to look less ugly for me, but I can hardly be able to bring myself to say it's "beautiful" esp. after my comparison pics:



I'm w Arling on this; I miss the less is more days, this Speciale does nothing for me but I'm sure there will be plenty of folks looking for the next new toy and this will fill that void.

Totally agree. +1111
Even Challenge Stradale looks better than Speciale.

Scudria is the King

I'm just surprised it shares a name with the 348 Serie Speciale, since we all know how big boss Lucca feels about the 348!

I'm hoping it looks better in the flesh. This honestly doesn't even look like OEM body work to me, doesn't flow very well. 430 scuderia was flawless in design and it looks like a factory car, this on the other hand.. I'm a little dissapointed. But let's not forget the way this thing drives, which I'm sure will leave little to be desired.

I'm also starting to feel like the front fascia is looking more and more like the facelifted-soon-to-be-obsolete LP560s:

Here's the last comparison I have and it's of the rear...the Scuderia ass takes the cake for sure! The lines, proportions, symmetry of diffuser and overall design is just right

thanks for the comparison pics but to be fair, you're comparing real life pics of the Stradale and Scuderia to computer generated pics of the Speciale. It will be a special car in the flesh!

Comparing apples to apples, Ferrari's heavily edited studio style shot, here is my take on the 430 Scuderia vs 458 Speciale.

Looks like the one-off Eric Clapton Ferrari.
