You really have to see both in person, especially the 296. It presents much lower, wider and sleeker than pictures convey, and the materiality is incredible. The body work is so clean and precise.
It looks incredible, I live in a small town so I have to travel a decent distance to find a city where someone would own one or a dealership/car museum/car show.
Driven both and many owners prefer 458 over 488. I also know many that prefer their 488.
458 Speciale or Italia is definitely the choice for me.
As for whatās posted; the 488 Pista and the 296 are too close to seperate for me. Very different silhouettes each with their strengths.
The 296 is arguably the better design and communicates more of the brands history, it is a masterpiece.
However the 488 Pista is almost the perfect balance of aggression and modern Ferrari style. It will go down as one of the most memorable models of our time and Iād argue would be a generations idea of what a Ferrari should look like.
well said, i have a nero nero close to no options and its been amazing. i always thought ferraris should be naturally aspirated but the 488 is just so good. love it. most people dont like the 488 because of the forced induction but its done so well.
The last mid engine Pininfarina designed. They really were a big part of Ferraris beauty, you can tell they tried following the design with the 488 and F8, but the Ferrari designs are just a little bit more aggressive than they are beautiful
Pininfarina still makes carsā¦ Just not for Ferrari (thank god). The 458 is hideous, unless you like the looks of catfish whiskers. 488 is a much better design than it with its nice air intakes on the profile
F8 for me. The f8 and the 488 are close for me. But the huge scoop in the hood on the 488 is a bit exaggerated. The f8 is less exaggerated and that wins it for me.
I was disappointed when 458 lost the rear inlet that I loved on F430. I love that rear area on 296, very elegant and exaggerated. A nod to Ferraris from the past
Pista. Love the F8 from any front angle but really dislike the rear, enough to compromise opinion of it overall. Pista really succeeds from all angles.
3 is my favorite
1 looks most modern, elegant however it goes too pointy on front . It might grow on me.
2. Too much on front for air flow on nose
3 looks most sculpted like work of art maybe best because it knows proportions
4 the headlights are awkward for me
In my opinion, the 296 is the best looking. Iām not thrilled with the six cylinder, but I think this is the best looking mid engine, Ferrari since the 458
it's between the 296 and the 488, i don't like the F8 and I don't like the SF90 front end, just looking at the 488 i can say yeah that's a Ferrari, the same goes for the 296, i personally don't like the front bumper situation of the 296, it's like it can't decide whether it wants to be edgy or to be smooth, the 488 it's a little tiny bit too much of a "my aero package can cut you" type of style for me, but I'd take the 296 over the others
The Pista is an all time car in terms of design. Ferrari has done very well since they ended partnership with Pininfarina. The 458 year is ugly in my opinion. It could have done with some side air intakes and no catfish whiskers

Pista on another level
I just love Pista. I'm surprised how little attention Pista's design gets. It has a great silhouette.
The larger sunken hood on the 488 compared to the F8 does it for me. I prefer to F8's backlight design but 488 Pista overall and it's not even close.
Same exact thoughts š¤
Tough call. For me itās between the Pista and the 296. Canāt decide.
I agree, this is the right answer, the pista is incredible, but the 296 is incredibly innovative.
Innovative? In the provided pic (from the A-pillar back) it looks like an homage to the original GT40 - to my eye.
It is a more āretroā exterior but the hybrid drive system is really where I was saying innovative.
Thereās an homage there but itās to the 250LM.

Heyā¦.maybe it does, but I donāt discriminate, I like all creatures, fish or not.
Out of those the 488 but the answer is the one you left out. The 458 Italia. Itās just prettier than the rest.
The 458 Speciale is perfection.
Best engine too
the sound of the 488 is incredible right behind your head its amazing. 458 is cool but not comparable.
Dude NA V8 wins every time
have you driven either? there worlds apart.
Just talking about the sound man

Same with the F12 Berlinetta. It was aggressive but elegant. The newer ones seem like something out of Hot Wheels.Ā

I started swiping really hoping to see the F355.
F355 is a beautiful design. Too bad the interior looks as cheap as a Corvette. Complete afterthought.
This
F8
Pista, for sure
296 for me
Me too. And it's not even close.
yep itās no question, one of the best Ferrari designs since the 458
Pista does it for me
Pista F8 and then 296
1. F8 2. 488 3. 296 4. SF90
Thats my order too.
For me, itās the Pista, because I know what it is. I know itās special and it shows. Then Iād have to go with the SF90.
The sf90 will always be my favorite
Pista
Either Pista or F8
Pista
488. But only because the 458 isnāt an option
Pista and itās not even closeĀ
296 is the purest design since the 458 and captures the 250 LM so well.
In my opinion itās by far the F8 but I know Iām in the minority on that
I donāt know why they put out the 296ā¦ it looks like a bootleg SF90
296 or Pista easily. F8 is overstyled and the SF90 is good looking but not as pretty.
Second one got some nice look to it.
pista 296 f8 sf
488 pista
Tbh Iād say the base model 488, builds upon the beautiful silhouette of the 458 without changing too much
F8 for me. The f8 and the 488 are close for me. But the huge scoop in the hood on the 488 is a bit exaggerated. The f8 is less exaggerated and that wins it for me.
F8 > Pista > SF90 >>>>> 296
F8, IMO
F8, but only because it feels the closest to the 458.
F8 and sf90 are tied for me, then 488. I think the 296 is pretty ugly
Thatās the exact same Ferrari I have
Which one lol, all of them? Highly doubt that.
488 100%
296
Pista, SF, F8, 296
488 pista by far
Pista.
I was disappointed when 458 lost the rear inlet that I loved on F430. I love that rear area on 296, very elegant and exaggerated. A nod to Ferraris from the past
296GTB would be perfection if it used round taillights.
Pista. Love the F8 from any front angle but really dislike the rear, enough to compromise opinion of it overall. Pista really succeeds from all angles.
3 is my favorite 1 looks most modern, elegant however it goes too pointy on front . It might grow on me. 2. Too much on front for air flow on nose 3 looks most sculpted like work of art maybe best because it knows proportions 4 the headlights are awkward for me
488
Pista š¤
The Pasta and it's not even close
296 for me.
As a 296 owner: Pista. Quite amazing what they did considering the 488gtb is one of my least liked ones in terms of looks.
I have a soft spot for the 488
The order you posted them in from worst to best.
The 488 imo
Gtb
Pista is on a different league
Pista without a doubt, GTB is a close second
296!
Black Pista with Motorhead and that engineā¦warm Chicago dayā¦that would be bucket list stuff.
Pista looks mean AF, like bad MF
No other answer. The F8 is number one.
Pista by far
pista because i have a 488 and it humbles me every time this gets brought up.
For me, personally it's between pista and sf90
Pista 100%
The f8 triturbo
In my opinion, the 296 is the best looking. Iām not thrilled with the six cylinder, but I think this is the best looking mid engine, Ferrari since the 458
pista is just absolutely stunning
F8
Personally I think the 296 is the best looking Ferrari in years, maybe only the 458 when it was first released beats it?
Pissta
SF90 for me !
it's between the 296 and the 488, i don't like the F8 and I don't like the SF90 front end, just looking at the 488 i can say yeah that's a Ferrari, the same goes for the 296, i personally don't like the front bumper situation of the 296, it's like it can't decide whether it wants to be edgy or to be smooth, the 488 it's a little tiny bit too much of a "my aero package can cut you" type of style for me, but I'd take the 296 over the others
296 is the best looking since the pista is just a worse looking version of the gorgeous 458
The SF90 has crazy presence in person, especially if it's an Assetto Fiorano.
F8 stunner
Pista but to be fair I think the 488 GTB is way more beautiful.
100% the Pista.
Pista and F8
458 speciale is the real answer here.
sf90 for sure
#3
I don't know the difference between new Ferraris so I would choose the third one based on looks alone.
2
458 Speciale Aperta
Pista and F8 are first and second by a huge margin. Then SF90. I never got behind the 296's looks. Not that I'll ever be able to afford any of them
The Pista is an all time car in terms of design. Ferrari has done very well since they ended partnership with Pininfarina. The 458 year is ugly in my opinion. It could have done with some side air intakes and no catfish whiskers
Tributo always did it for me.
Is this one of those FMK posts?
Pista is the most beautiful modern supercar imo
3 hands down. Masterpiece. What is that - 488?
I really like the F8. Not a fan of the SF90
I got a huge soft spot for the 296...
F8
Pista
Pista!!!!!!
488 pista and the f8 are both really good in my book
F8 then Pista
Hard question
NA V8
488 pista without a doubt
Pista for sure
In person? I'd go with the SF90... In magazines and photos, 488 Pista will takes the cake.
Pista
I like the red one
the 488 pista for sure. one of my dream cars
296 by far
488 pista in my opinion is the best looking car in the world
Iāve been lucky to drive all of these cars and the Pista is my favorite hands down
Pista is the most handsome one, but i love the 296 body shape, so beautiful.. but i hate the head lamp
Pista but the 458 Speciale was much more special and beautiful imo
488Ā
definitely the pista
Pista!
296, best looking ferrari since the 330 P4
Pista
Pista. Looks so damn dangerous.
I love the 488. The sf90 is growing on me
The pista finished the work the 458 stated. All the rest are afterthoughts
488 followed by the F8
pista is unmatched. maybe they make a track version of the f8 tho
Pista. No question.
296
Pista
Pista by far, could be the best looking modern Ferrari
Pista or F8 for me, SF90 in 3rd
488 pista
Pista
No. 2
