I have to disagree. That thing looks horrid

It's like being a kid in a candy store, except I wish the allowance was a lot bigger.

Not happy with the specs. The rear should have been like the second prototype.

This better have the best Mark Levinson soundsystem around!

Ummm, you should really be enjoying the engine/exhaust note when driving this type of cars

The 458 remember is a couple things
1. Built by THE Supercar company. No one has more supercars, racing supercars or more experience. They are THE standard
2. The 458 is a huge shift to lower, lighter, smaller for them

There are about 29 color options!?

JessePS

True.

At least they have a year to try and tweak some things. The torque for one and the top speed for another.

Honestly... $375,000 :/

So many super cars are not even near that price I am afraid to see the price in Canadian dollars it be like $472,500 :/

Since the other thread is getting a little out of hand, Joe Z this is just for you :

Officially, the engine is smaller and more compact than the ISF's V8. I have seen comparison drawings from Toyota. The engine is also lighter than the ISF's V8. It weights about as much as an average V6. The engine valves, connecting rods, and exhaust manifold are all titanium. It meets Euro 5 emissions. It revs from idle to 9000 RPM in 0.6 seconds.

I will post more engine info a bit later, but it is official; this is by far the most marvelous engine ever made by Toyota. It would be absolutely incredible if this gem was put into the rumored GSF.
