Ferrari 458 Italia
The Ferrari 458 Italia will be priced in the U.K. starting at £169,545, or nearly $277,000.
The price includes a local value-added tax of $41,125, plus a $1,550 “road tax.”
A quick look at the outgoing prices reveals a whopping increase over the $199,000 MSRP for a 2009 F430, but a touch less than the $282k commanded by the 430 Scuderia (whose performance the new 458 eclipses and, it could be argued, effectively replaces). It’s also worth noting that the figures are a bit higher than those suggested in the alleged leaked price sheet from back in October.
Of course pricing for new vehicles around the world isn’t based on current exchange rates, but rather on local market considerations, so until U.S. pricing is announced, it’s more relevant to look at relative prices in the U.K. itself. The £169k 458 Italia is over £40k (~$65k) more than the £128k F430, but a couple grand less than the £171k Scuderia. The California, in case you were wondering, lists at £143,325 on the 2010 U.K. price sheet (which includes all Her Majesty’s tea party taxes)-but we’re still supposed to believe the Cali’s not the “baby Ferrari” we all predicted it would be.
If that isn’t enough, the price for a new 458 only continues to rise from there, with options like LEDs on the steering wheel at £2,794 ($4,563), Alcantara trim for the trunk at £1,445 ($2,360), electric seats at £2,120 ($3,462) and finally for a spare wheel-£1,156 ($1,888).
Short of stealing a 458 Italia, what do you think about the price of the new Ferrari?

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
Hi Dayle,
I would be interested in trading links, but it depends on your website. Could you send your website address.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Rick
