Don't you just love it when aluminium and carbonfibre rusts?

And, to be fair, aluminum sheetmetal can rust, particularly where it meets steel structure in automotive applications. I've seen it plenty.

There's no steel structure on a 458 ;)

I don't doubt that, and a 458 doesn't necessarily seem a likely victim if there were, but it can happen...even on a Ferrari. I knew someone with a 308 GT4 that had some cancerous aluminum in the quarter panel just behind the door sill, where there was indeed steel structure.

Yeah, they used to be a steel-tube spaceframe with alloy panels bolted on. Now they use mostly extruded aluminium structures to form the spaceframes.
 
To bring it back into the realm of real-world vehicles (the Panthermobile that I posted above is real and can be driven) in a logical way...

Pink Panther was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, another of which was Wacky Races. Professor Pat Pending was a character on this cartoon and he had his Convert-A-Car. Well, someone was daft enough to reproduce it:
