There is a new Ferrari, the 488 Pista and I must say it looks stunning.

0-62 in 2.85 seconds, a V8 engine, and it puts out 711 bhp at 8000 rpm. For me this is one of the most impressive Ferraris to be released in some time.

Do you like it? I think the name is a little off for the UK market and opens up some interesting puns and numerous possiblities. If one of these drives too close to the gar in front is it Tagliatelle Gating?

Meh. It looks a bit derivative. Nothing new to look at.

Big numbers, indeed.
And if we look at a list of cars in that range (700-720bhp, as we all know dyno testing can fluctuate and probably by a large margin when the numbers are that big) we can see they have shaved a few digits on their 0-60 time. Possibly, in part, due to the diet it was on. Lighter than its rivals. Very impressive.

Do you like it?
Not really.
For £215,000 I can get a Tesla Model S (doing my bit for the environment), outfit the new house with solar panels and a Tesla Power Wall (meaning I won't have pay for electricity ever again and this includes charging the car ;)), and have about £80k left over to fill up the spare wallet :lol:


Meh, maybe I'm feeling a little jaded today. I'm sure if I look again in a couple of weeks (when my personal life madness has settled down) the inner young boy in me (err.... #phrasing ?) will giggle with delight at this car. But, today.... Meh.
