- Fantastic condition
The Ferrari 458 is easily one of the most beautiful vehicles to grace the roads, showing off traditional Pininfarina styling, with sleek modern body lines. As if the gorgeous design alone wasn’t impressive enough, this example also holds true to the pinnacle of Ferrari tradition, wearing its iconic Rosso Corsa paintwork beautifully.
As the images reflect, the glossy paintwork still presents itself brilliantly today, no doubt a result of the applied paint protection film. Applied at a considerable cost, the PPF covers all bodywork on the vehicle, ensuring the paintwork remains fresh underneath.
Accompanying the Rosso Corsa paintwork, are a set of 20” 5-spoke alloy wheels, finished in dark grey. The wheels complement the bodywork rather well and offer plenty of space to show off the Brembo carbon ceramic brakes hiding behind. Although slight imperfections may be noticeable upon very close inspection, the wheels themselves show off a great finish and come wrapped in a set of Pirelli P Zero tyres, with plenty of tread left to enjoy.
Overall, this Ferrari 458 shows off a mightily impressive finish, and would no doubt look sublime as part of any high-end collection.
