Ferrari 458 Italia Pricing Leaked Out

Buying a Ferrari is not cheap, but if you are dreaming of getting a hold of the new 458 Italia, you’d better know what you’re getting yourself into, and this is our first real indication. Thanks to a leaked document in Dutch has found its way on to a Ferrari fan forum ( http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260024 ), the new V8 supercar will start in Europe at 162,900 euros, before any taxes are taken into account. At today’s exchange rates, that figures to about $240,000 in U.S. dollars, around halfway between the price of the outgoing F430 and the 430 Scuderia.

Of course, that’s not an official figure-Ferrari North America has yet to confirm pricing for the U.S. market-and the long list of options sufficiently demostrates that the $240k starting price is exactly that: a starting price. On to that you can add leather everything, special paint finishes, upgraded wheels and more-most if not all of which you can already check out in the online configurator on the Ferrari website.

Considering the 458′s newer, more promising racing-derived performance technologies, and its splendor-dare we say passionate-classic Pininfarina design, it’ll likely all be worth it in the minds of prospective buyers.

What do you think about the price of the Ferrari 458 Italia? Is it too expensive and out of your price range?
