Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari 458 Pics

[E M (pokiebaron]

I find manufactures often fail to get the wheels to look right in the wheel
wells.  The early 348 really stand out to me.  GM throughout the 90s looks
like they all had about 3 feet of wheel travel, and that wasn't there SUVs.
hee hee.

The one shot of the 458 on the track does it no favours, as it appears to be
loading up the suspension away from the camera.

One thing I never understand is why so often, photographers lay on the
ground to shoot pics of these cars?  Cars like the old Lambo Countach were
designed to exaggerate just how low there really were, and were designed to
be views by people who were walking by, or standing.  Has anyone ever seen
anybody walk by a parked Ferrari, or Countach, and then lay on the ground to
look up and admire it?  Hmmm, so why do they shoot them from the perspective
with a camera.

Sorry, got a bit off topic.

You're right Lash, I always holdout until I see a car in the flesh.  Looking
at the 458 from the various pics, I think the rear fenders will be great.
I've never cared for all that contrasting black vents and venturies on a red
car, but that could probably be cured by ordering a black car.  Only car
that looked semi ok on was the early Boxer, IMHO.
