Ferrari 458 Italia Cast as Autobot for Transformers 3

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia

Michael Bay, maker of cinematic epics like Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is making a sequel aptly called Transformers 3. We didn’t really care until Bay announced that the new film will feature an Autobot disguised as a Ferrari 458 Italia.

We at C/D headquarters are conflicted about this news, because we really like the 458, but the Transformers movies . . . not so much. Anyway, those crafty robots are going upmarket; In prior films, they transformed into Chevrolet Camaros and other GM products. The film is scheduled to hit the silver screen July 1, 2011.
