599 GTO vs. 458 Italia (Design)

[Brilliance]

So you knew this was coming.

Which is the better looking car, better finished and better designed car out of Ferrari's hottest two cars?!

Ferrari 599 GTO:

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Both cars are GLORIOUS, but I would have to say the design of the 599 GTO is a little more "likeable". It still would be a pleasure to own either car.

 

[Padi]

599 hands down, hate the 458

I agree they are both brilliant cars, But different, Its worth mentioning that the 599 weighs 1,590 kilograms (3,500 lb) (The GTO weighs 100 kg less than the GTB) while the 458 Italia is 1,380 kg (3,042 lb). and thats a big difference.

Now while weight is design related I'd like to note that the 599 has 100+ hp over the Italia.

Design, Italia. All the rest, GTO. I'd rather own a GTO too.

Tought choice. Leaning towards the 458i myself. Though I've seen a GTO on the street, unbelievably. I couldn't believe it.

Flipping difficult choice but in the end, rationality prevailed. 599 GTO. Greatness.

In the right colour scheme it's just marvelous. Don't care too much for std red and the black two-tone. The metallic grey one featured in EVO was so much hotter.

599 hands down, hate the 458

My man!

 

[Brilliance]

So I definitely don't like the Italia's rear, not a fan of the lights and the black things next to them:

It's a tricky decision this because one looks more like one would imagine a supercar to look like (458) and the other looks like a front engined GT that has been tweaked for racing purposes (599GTO) which is precisely what it is.

For a blast around the track the 599GTO no doubt but to live with on an ongoing basis then I would chose the 458.

 

[bmer]

599 without any doubt.

Flatfish belong to the sea, they shouldn't be painted red and called '458 Italia'.

This is like asking which one of my girl friends I like more. They're both good at different things, and you can't go wrong with either.

We are not so different, you and I.
