That doesnt really cover over-revving. A motor will pop after less than a second if it is over-revved in excess of 1k rpm; 100rpms is much more forgiving. The excess of the rpms is more determinative...

But the 458 looks like it could be released this year. Most of the exotics that have been released in the past decade have yet to feel the punishment of time on their designs - we will wait.

You mean 4 years? :iono:

If you want to see well aged cars look at the rx7, mr2, supra, or nsx. We are about a decade and a half away from telling if it is looks good "after all these years."

One of the greatest brands in the world did not need a value marque to be hip. This has been a long time coming along. Good riddance, IMO, like saturn, it was never a brand to be proud of.

Nothing has been more speculative than the pricing; Fiat isnt crazy but even you admitted a $40k 1.7l at 2300lbs is crazy. It seems like whatever they will build is going to be a fun ride.
