Ah never had my TAs burst into flames, and they cost less that 1/20th of this bad boy...

This is great. Even on an expensive car like this, they still get cheap with the parts/construction. Good to see...

Ferrari said the company is asking owners of the cars produced before July 2010 to bring them in to have the glue replaced with mechanical fasteners.

sad to see such a beautiful car engulfed in flames...

looks like italy has just add one more engineer to the unemployment line....

as a designer you can not overlook small things like this... R&D and quality control should have been all over this before hte car was released.

I will stay a lamborghini fan!

Guess all Ferraris really do wish to be red.

Over priced under performing

HA! Maybe it's like the add-on for repeat DUIers, where they have to blow in the tube before it will start... but in reverse...

so i wonder if those whose cars burst into flames because of the fault will either receive a new one or their money back...otherwise if it were me i'd be pissed.

then again if i had a quarter-mil to drop on a car i could probably piss silver dollars and wipe my ass with woodrow wilson.

Im sure if you have a car like that you will have one hell of a warrenty/insurance. They have tech's waiting round the clock if something goes wrong with it. I can only imagine what they will do if a mistake on their part jepordised your life/car.

Nope, just stating the truth!

Depends on what you call the truth. There is a 2 year waiting list on that car for a reason...

Its a crazy car but its overpriced

**Transamws6** · 09-02-2010, 05:14 PM

Damn at the fire

But all jokes aside, the 458 is a piece of art. Not really overpriced for what you're getting in my opinion. Awesome car. It replaced the F430 which was slower and uglier and it was only like 10-13k cheaper than the 458 I believe, which really isn't that much less when we're talking $200,000+

Exactley. People dont understand the technology behind these cars.
