Ferrari 458 Italia

Look at the Ferrari 458 Italia gallery

The Ferrari marketing machine is spewing out 458 Italia titbits on a daily basis at the moment. The latest is this video of some bloke called Michael Schumacher talking to us about the car.
 
Best to ignore the corporate droidspeak – and pretend you never saw his sabretooth necklace or whatever it is – and look behind Schuey to the big screen showing footage of the car.
 
We know it looks cool, and most of you seem to agree, but the low-down angles and drive-pasts make it look even meaner.
 
No doubt we’ll hear more from the Maranello chaps soon, so follow us on Twitter for updates.

What do you think Ferrari will give us next? An on-board lap of Fiorano, perhaps? We’d like that…

What do you think?

Dear God, I know the marketing bods at Maranello consider Schuey to be a great asset to the company but are they going to keep dusting him off and pimping him out every time they launch a new car? More spurious tales of Schumacher-honed handling a la 430 Scud, I wager... We're not stupid, you know.

Well to be fair, they're in no rush to get Luca Badoer to promote it, Massa is in hospital, and Raikonnen couldn't show enthusiasm if his life depended on it!

Why is he pretending to struggle with his english?? We all know he can speak it fluently from his appearances on TopGear and countless other T.V. clips...
