Ferrari 458 Italia vs. McLaren MP4-12C

If money was no object which you buy?

McLaren MP4-12C





Ferraris 458 Italia




For me I like the exterior of the Ferrari, but the interior of the McLaren. So it'll come down to performance once the tests are done

I finally made my decision, and tipped the scale in favor of the 458!

Viva Italia!

The 458 Italia has much better hips.

Maybe its the angle, but the Ferrari looks a bit too bubble top - like out of the Jetson's.

Make mine McLaren.

McLaren for me. Looks sexier than the Italia which I think is too small at the door

I fail to imagine the fun either one can provide without a 6-spd and a heavy duty clutch. Perhaps I am too old fashioned but I would take a Ford GT over either one in a heartbeat.

I'd probably go Mclaren myself is those were the only choices. On a side note the new McLaren would have been a really good design for the new Esprit.

I aso want that McLaren steering wheel in my car

Italia. I really am in love with the lines, though the Mclaren isn't bad either! The interior i'm torn between. I don't like the vents on the Italia, but I love the gauge cluster. I like both center sections, but I don't know which one I prefer just yet.
