I have been asked a couple of times by friends to family
members. The question is what is your favorite supercar? I will admit it is a
quick answer – Ferrari 458. It doesn’t
matter whether it is a coupe or the convertible AKA the Spider because I have
been a Ferrari fan since I was a little boy and I have been a fanatic of this
dream machine since it was unveiled and reviewed by Top Gear, Fifth Gear and
the other motoring shows. I personally think it is one of the most stunningly
beautiful Ferraris ever made by Ferrari and designed by Pininfarina. I love its
other brothers like the F40, 599 GTO, 355, 360, 430 and of course the Enzo but
this Ferrari 458 for me is just something I really have a heart for. I have
seen this car in showrooms and on the road a number of times and from the day
it was born until today I am still deeply in love with this dream car. I just
love the noise it makes from stationery to speeding; I love the seductive
triple exhaust pipes which makes the noises of a wild ferocious animal, I love
the front where it has that modern mean, angry and aggressive looks with the
two front “mustache” winglets, I love the craftsmanship of the 4.5 liter V8, I
love the entire exquisite body which has that modern Italian artistic touch to
it and lastly, of course, I love its world famous emblem which is the Prancing
Horse. This car is said to be based a lot on science for incredible performances
and they designed it in such a way to that it is so beautiful to the eye and it
drives confidence in you that you would proudly park it in front of a hotel or
a casino or at least to yourself at your home with a lot of good lighting for
you to sit down just to admire the amazing art and work by Ferrari.
.And the second frequently asked question is how would you
like your 458 to be IF I do buy one? I would get the Ferrari 458 Spider; it has
the same performance as the Italia coupe with just a 4mph lower top speed difference.
I know the Spider is more expensive than the Italia coupe but why not spend a
bit more to open the top and just listen to the noises this monster, no, ANGEL
makes! I will definitely want to customize it especially the engine cover which
you can’t see the engine unlike the Italia coupe. I would like to add the
famous Scuderia shield on both sides of the car, I would add the Italian flag
stripes on the driver’s side mirror, I would prefer to change the rims maybe by
Vorsteiner in just black or else black chrome, I would prefer a custom exhaust
which enhances the noise of this machine, I would like the color to be a two-tone
which the top is glossy black and the body which I would give it the famous
striking red or else colors like satin blue or purple, I would love the interior
to be black with the red stitching as the contrast all over the car and lastly
if possible I would have the car in stock performance or if possible tune it
slightly higher but not too much.
I’m going to hit 21 on the 28th June which is soon
and my birthday wish is to get a Ferrari 458 Spider in the future if God
permits and grants me the possibilities to buy one. If not then I would just
love to just give it a good drive or the very least have someone drive it for
me for a few hours. I love this car, I really do. If let’s say I am only
allowed to have one supercar in my life, this is my answer and I will stand by
that. It is a stunning piece of engineering. There are many cars out there I
love but this one has a special place in my heart. I will be waiting for that
special day where I can have a special encounter in this car. Amazing car.
