The Ferrari 458 is considered to be one of the best-looking cars on the market, so how could Ferrari possibly make it better? Two words: open-top. All they've done to the base 458 Italia is remove the regular roof and replace it with a first for Ferrari: a power-retractable metal folding roof, which is similar to what you'd see on a Mercedes SL-Class or even a Mazda MX-5 Miata. It isn't a very new idea, but in Ferrari's case, they've never done a convertible like this, which is surprising, because that's what most supercar convertibles have now, such as the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster and the McLaren 650S Spider. Other than that' little has changed on the 458; the 4.5 liter V8 still makes 562 hp and 398 hp, and does 0-60 faster than a SRT Viper. One thing that's a little sad to have taken away is the glass engine cover, so instead of seeing the pure-bred Italian 4.5 liter V8, you get a metal folding roof. Even though I really, REALLY want a 458, I still would rather spend my $257,412 on something with a better combination of luxury and sport, like a Bentley Continental GTC Speed, which is far more comfortable and luxurious inside, has more power, and in my opinion, looks a little better*.

The center of the dashboard looks like it melted in to the instrument cluster (a.k.a it looks terrible)
*And please don't hate because of that comment, I just think it looks better, and it's just an opinion, not a fact.
