Have you seen the straight-piped F30 Canyon Run video? I would never put anything that loud on my own car but god I must've listened to that video hundreds of times...
When I was a teen, my dad and I went to go look at the new models at a Ferrari dealership while on vacation. A brand representative, knowing full well we had no real intent (or means) to make a purchase, let me start up the white 458 Spider on the second floor. It was such a small occasion, and a commonplace one for those who have the access, but the memory still remains vivid 10 years on. Glad to see 458 has only gotten better with age.
Not entirely true, $25k down, 740 credit score, 12 year finance. It's very possible on 125k-140k a year. Two people working, even more possible. I've seen my wife alone make $3350 in one week as a nurse, multiple weeks at a time. I my self drive Semis so I see $2,000 a week, it's definitely possible if we really want to piss away $3,000 a month before insurance. Invest everything you can in the S&P 500 and let those 10% yearly gains compound. Year 10, 1 million in and that's 10% hits 1.1 million. You can withdraw the 100k for life, take a 22% capital gain hit on the 100k each year, and use the dividends to pay the taxes honestly. I'd rather be financially free by 35, versus having 1 Ferrari. If you want to suffice the itch, rent one 3-4 times a year for $1800 a day and save thousands. It's the best way to have your cake and eat it to. Ferraris realistically should only be driven about 2,500-5,000 miles per year anyways. 80% of the time that cars parked if you financed.
Aside from the navigation software, this car hasn't aged a day since it came out 15 years ago. Both the exterior and the interior look completely modern, even better than modern. It's timeless.
It’s amazing that this was only one generation on from the F430. The tech and capability of this is world’s apart from the 430. Also, you’re right, how is this a “slow” supercar now?? The car world is madness.
The design is so modern, looks on par with contemporaries from 10 years later. Like you mentioned not 2 minutes in to the video. This is a great design, and a great car. And a great video bringing it all together.
@@mbvbm3104 it’s timeless because Ferrari stuck with the design lmao. The f8 tributo is just a refresh of the 488, which in large was just a refresh of the 458
This came out 2009, but if it was released today, I don’t think anybody would be mad. The design aged beautifully. That naturally aspirated v8 with the 9000rpm redline is a gem.
I firmly believe the 458 was the last of the truly driver-focused normal Ferrari, obviously excluding the Pista and such cars. With the noise and the perfect amount of power, the 458 remains one of the best cars I have driven to date, period. Great video again Tom!
I feel like it's a golden era for supercars. 997 GT3, this the very last Murcis and Gallardos... Everything that came out since then has either been "too much" (too powerful etc) or too numb. It's just McLaren which peaked a few years later with the 675LT, and Porsche who's still going very strong.
This is my favorite Ferrari ever. Gorgeous looks, high-revving naturally aspirated V8 with enough power to enjoy without killing yourself, paired to a great DCT gearbox. And that sound. Oh my
The sound!!! Holy shit. 10 years on and it's still IT. Why bother with the new ones?!??! This was the 458 POV video I needed in my life. I need a trust fund, ugh.
The 458 is the ultimate dream car for me. No, it doesn't have the screaming Lamborghini v12. No, it isn't as fast as a stock c8 Corvette to 60. What it does have though is unarguable, incredible beauty. An NA v8 that sings to you with every rev and redline. A gearbox that allows you to be the musician in a high pitched, violent, screaming orchestra as you delicately work your way through the gears. A design that is so timeless, it will look good from every angle, every time, forever. This car is the ultimate v8 supercar, and for me, it always will be
Still remember the day I saw this thing for the first time. It was one of those generational cars that grabbed your attention like no other, a special one, loved by all and will always be remembered for how close to perfect it was. I'd say this is the greatest ferrari ever, the complete package!
Yeah this is the Ferrari that doesn't make you wonder if you should've bought a Lamborghini and gotten a V10. I think the 458 has been a legend since its launch and people still love these cars like mad. It's a dream car
the 458’s will always keep their value. don’t get me wrong, cars like the taycan and gemera are great cars, but the tech and styling will age them. the 458 will look and feel great for a long while
I was fortunate to drive one of these on the streets of Maranello. At the time, the 430 Scuderia blew me away, but the 458 was so smooth and refined in comparison. Two very different cars but wonderful in their own way. I’ll never forget driving either of them.
this car is so wonderful that i didn't even know it was cloudy, gray and crappy out until you said it. That's how much brighter this car makes your day. :)
i didn't look at the title and couldnt believe this wasn't a brand new car until you mentioned it was a 2011. Amazingly modern looking but in the best way
This is, in my eyes, the ultimate Ferrari. It's got an awesome screaming NA V8, a beautiful and elegant design that is unmatched by Ferrari today, and what seems to be essentially the ideal balance of tech and raw performance.
2:31 I completely agree! Skem car designs go a little overboard for no particular reason but this vehicle has everything you need and nothing you don't (in styling) and still looks amazing.
a big fat thanks for pointing the camera forward. people usually have the camera on their face. much appreciated. i agree about the model ferrari, it’s a super car but you can daily drive it. can’t say much about the body style because ferraris are all good looking cars.
I had a chance to rent one of these outside of Maranello for 20 minutes, while the hairy-chested Italian man next to me kept taunting me to go faster. Top 5 moments in my life. The sound...my god the sound.
The only modern supercars/super sportscars that remind me of how supercars like the 458 were are the Huracán EVO RWD, 992 GT3, or a C7 Corvette Grand Sport. Lightweight, not too powerful, and amazing performance without too much compromise.
It's the sound that makes me want one. When they turbo charged they started sounding like they had cotton stuffed into the exhaust compared to how this car can scream.
Nice review buddy. I was never a Ferrari fan until I drove one of these on track. This was back before i had any skills developed but i could still tell this car was special. The engine and chassis are just so approachable and rewarding. Fast forward to now its still in my opinion the best modern day “super car”.
You make excellent points, ones I've been saying as well myself. We sold our GTR last year and picked up a 2020 Lotus Evora when looking for a new high performance car, just for these very reasons ...you can actually enjoy sub 600 HP cars and in our case a 400 ish HP Lotus, where as the 700hp and higher cars we test drove, were essentially useless on public roads. The gearbox in the 718 manual we drove was useless as well, as you're in getting arrested territory in 2nd gear...like you said, what are you supposed to do with that? If I was going to pick any Ferrari, I'd take a 458 too.
I'm absolutely in love with the video and the car, you sparked my love for the 458 again after many years of being kinda bored of it. The condition on the video seems insane, such a beauty and possibly a dream spec for a more daily chill car instead a weekend/track toy (in that case I'd prefer the alcantara racing seats). Thank you so much for the video, loved every single second of it.
I don't think I can overstate how much I would rather have this than 99% of the exotic cars being made today. This car is a masterpiece.
I’d take a wild guess and say the 993 GT2, the Murcielago SV, and the Carrera GT is a part of the 1%.
@@sagarisone yeah that sounds about right for me at least
This is without a doubt the first super car I will own.
@@sagarisone those aren’t being made today. Which is what the comment was about.

And the Enzo.

The 458 has aged so well. My favorite modern Ferrari because it has it all: looks, performance, character, sound, involvement.
What is better 458 or 488 GTB?
Immediately looks up Ferrari 458 for sale 😂. That engine sounds so good to this day!

The high watermark for Ferrari V8- the 458 and 458 Speciale. God bless natural aspiration.
Perfect to watch in class for my project
same hahaha
The 458 Speciale is my dream modern Ferrari sports car, a quick and smooth DCT with a high revving NA V8.
458 Italia is hands down my favorite modern Ferrari.
That and the f12 for me
The 458 has aged incredibly gracefully. By no means the car looks like 2009. And the noise it makes is just biblical!
458 is a legend, and IMO the best modern Ferrari you can buy.
Last V8 NA.....Meraviglioso.........Greatings from Italy, great video.....

I think 458s V8 is more musical than the NA lambos. And I'd rather drive a Tesla than daily a Lambo.. while this 458.. Jesus it's fucking perfect wtf
12:01 that is such a great point. I feel like in the search of "perfection" and 0-60s, the modern supercar is slowly losing its soul.
I would still have this over their latest and more powerful models. That sound is the best. Great gearbox, and more than powerful enough.
The most Ferrari looking Ferrari ever especially that front end and the headlights 😅😊
Probably the most beautiful modern supercar ever made. An instant classic.
Such a cool sound. It's nice to see that you're getting to review cars such as these.
One of the best car Ferrari ever made. Future classic. Incredible.

The 458 and the f12 were the last, and best Ferrari's to date. The two final Pininfarina master pieces.
Such a killer machine! To me, too much about driving is hoping strangers don't do something stupid. I'd be way scared driving this around!
Was working for Ferrari when these were debuted. There were days when I got to drive 8 of these lol
This is my dream car, you’re so lucky to have had the chance to enjoy this beautiful car.
agree 100% which is why I picked one up last year, I cannot stop driving it, it is sooo fun
I remember Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the 458 from 2010. Have been a fan ever since.
When I first saw the 458 on the front of Forza I was in love and that sound!!!!
Gran Turismo 5 in my case.
I only played with this car, in cockpit view.
Gt5 had bad car sounds but they somehow nailed the sound of this car
One of my favorite cars of all time! You're getting some really cool cars nowadays Tedward!
in my opinion (as an Italian living in the motor valley), this is the best sounding Ferrari EVER.
I hear that engine and envision Eau Rouge, Monaco, Silverstone and more. Just amazing.
Those downshifts sound so beautiful
One of the most beautiful cars ever made and one of the best car sounds ever😍😍
This car really blew me away when it was released, I was always a huge fan of the unique triple exhaust tips
2011 still looks like it just came out, ages so well!!
5:30 was that on purpose? Took exit 45B which looks like 458 on camera? Tedward, either beautiful coincidence or well thought out planning. Good vid
Yeah this is the Ferrari that doesn't make you wonder if you should've bought a Lamborghini and gotten a V10. I think the 458 has been a legend since its launch and people still love these cars like mad. It's a dream car
It also rides so comfortably. It would be such an easy commuter if you wanted to use it all the time
the 458’s will always keep their value. don’t get me wrong, cars like the taycan and gemera are great cars, but the tech and styling will age them. the 458 will look and feel great for a long while

You’ve got some savage blinker game. It shows integrity.
Timeless as it gets. It's stunning and still amazing that this design is over 10 years old
Out of all the Ferrari's this one has such an amazing sounding engine.
To me this is the last pure Ferrari ever made. Beautiful design, naturally aspirated V8, no electrical/hybrid gubbins. An absolute timeless classic
Amazing Sound. Really so sweet. Also do enjoy seeing the new england roads.

Hell of an intro!!
from the first time it was driven on top gear to now, no other ferrari id want
The vision of that engine under glass is amazing! The 458 may be the most collectible Ferrari EVER!
100 % correct. This, is better than any new Ferrari
I opened this just after driving this in my dream. Man that was so real. That day is coming to me.
All I know is I applaud you for driving this on Boston roads. I'm terrified of potholes in my hatchback, can't imagine in this

Gotta say, I currently drive a Model 3. But I could listen to this beautiful noise all day long. Dream car material 😍
I have a Corvette C8, but I started my own private practice as a criminal defense attorney, and this particular 458 model is my next upgrade!

I had a chance to rent one of these outside of Maranello for 20 minutes, while the hairy-chested Italian man next to me kept taunting me to go faster. Top 5 moments in my life. The sound...my god the sound.
