Motortrend- "you would have to be suicidal to turn traction control off in this thing"
Chris Harris- "traction control off as usual for the pure experience"
That is why hes one of the best
Haven't watched Motor Trend vid after they left youtube, but CHOC is the best for sure
😂😂😂Summes up everything about Chris perfectly
And then he usually drifts the tires into clouds, but this time he kept it down.
jethro is a hero, jonny is a jester. jason is somewhere inbetween. don't care, chris harris videos still give me nostalgia and authenticity seldom found anywhere else for me.
Yeah. None of us are Chris Harris.
This is the real Chris Harris that I remember, it doesn't feel like a TG video. Fantastic car.
Feels like a proper CHoC vid.
Nothing feels like a TG video anymore. And that's not something bad at all. CH is brilliant!
Henrik Johannessen thats good And bad the same time imo
He is great but old tg was Also unique
Why cant we have both :(
Agreed. This is what Chris was made to do. 'Rant on and on about technical details nobody cares about'. I need more of that stuff. I really do. I still watch old F40/F50, RS6/CLS, Huayra & co videos from time to time. I'm really happy Chris got into a place where he can show himself off to the world (Top Gear proper) then, between seasons, bugger off and do the proper stuff for the hardcore fans, and, judging from his videos, for himself.
Never stop doing that Chris, never stop.
@@Primoz.r You took the words.from my keypad!
we need more Chris Harris on TH-cam, he's the best in my book.
Far and away the best.
Absofuckinglutely
No nonsense... just facts. I love it.
Yup...get rid of everyone else...Chris hands down
i completely agree with him. driving such an amazingly fast car on the street instead of a track is like keeping a tiger in a cage so small it cant even stand upright: its simply a waste of potential, even if it still will look amazing.
Who else thinks Chris narrates to himself during his GT3 races?
Lol I would love to see and hear that commentary. Loved it when he raced the GT3 Bentley
When i was doing motorcross id sing in my head lol
Loot Box I'd probably do the same thing, honestly. Anyone else narrate themselves when they play video games?
Some times
probably yeah :)
A Chris Harris video where he can speak and react freely (without tv show scripts) is as good as car reviews get.
SO glad Chris Harris still does his proper reviews. Well done, Chris
5:12 that's about the best thing you can tell to 99% of Ferrari owners
Dude or dudette haha
Most of them can't drive. That's why they always go out in big convoys, alot easier to let someone else go first and just follow..
@@NikoBell12 ah well makes me feel a bit better ;)
@El Jefe hey big man keep your fkn nose out..
@Real M 'lessor people' how dare you! Less money does not make you less of a person!
And no i'm not knocking any person who picks a particular performance car brand over another, what i'm saying is it doesnt matter how much money one has, one can't buy talent.
Just a note about the tyres, while the Cup 2 isn't the stickiest dry weather tyre in the Michelin range now (the recently released Cup 2 R is ONLY OE on the 911 GT2 at the moment), it IS still a very sticky track tyre, and knowing how Ferrari like to tune their tyres, I would put money on the fact the Ferrari OE version of the Cup 2 used on this car is more like the Cup 2 R than the aftermarket Cup 2 we can buy. It will be crazy sticky.
I think the most interesting thing is that they haven't chosen the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R. But that might be only interesting to me.
Now, Ferrari, please lend me one for a test :D
Tyre Reviews will you test it with different sets of tyres?
@Farina Marcina Some of the recent ones have been quite good. But they sure did have a lot of bad ones through the years.
@@gwcrispi it's called English, for a reason.
Well the 488 Pista tire IS officially a Cup 2 R tire, they clearly state that, still not as extremely track focused as Trofeo R though. The reason they haven't done that is probably because Ferrari generally doesn't make cars that chase lap times, even though most often than not they end up with cars that beat the competition in that regard too, and 488 Pista is certainly that car. Beats the 911 GT2 RS, Huracan Performante and 720S (on Trofeo R) with ease.
@@derbigpr500 Interesting! The Cup 2 R was developed as a direct rival to the Trofeo R and while I've not done the test yet (planned for this year) I expect the Michelin to be as fast in the dry :)
The 488 Pista is such an amazing and beautiful beast. Simply a masterpiece. Every time when Ferrari comes out with a new car I think: "surely it can't get any better than this" and then they just raise the bar once again. Bravo Ferrari!
Ferrari is the best car company in the world 100%, no arguments.
You can't kill off nostalgia Chris, NA will always be in demand no matter how good the mega bucks turbo engines get.
But your dead right on where all these cars will end up, in heated garages with zero mileage being put on them because of residues
Its so sad when a 10,000 miles supercar is called high mileage 🙁
John S You also have to realize a lot of superchats aren't very comfortable you don't go for a long drive usually you go out to your favorite roads for a few hours for fun. In addition the car may not be someone 2md car it could be their 3rd or 4th etc. A 400 mile 5 year old Ferrari is one thing but 1-2K miles a year ain't bad if the person doesn't have a lot of time or has other cars. Someone I know uses a Continental GT Speed as a winter daily and racked up 9K miles in a year. Some people just drive them into the ground and don't care about the miles.
It's s pity that people who can afford cars like this are only buying them with profit in mind and not the joy of driving them!They treat them like expensive art objects and sooner or later they end up being sold at auctions with almost zero kms on their odometers!
@@MBisFrenchy That's not true of most modern supercars. Definitely true in the 80s but most modern supercars are very comfortable mainly due to the expensive dampers used. We did Monaco last year in a 991 GT3 which was plenty comfortable and practical with plenty of luggage space.
@@gazman9468 wow! That must have been a great trip in a great car 👍
I've got 2007 Cayman S with 114,000 miles on her and we took a tour around Wales last year, had plenty of room for our luggage too.
Not quite the same as your car and trip but the Cayman was great fun, nice to see Porsche's getting used properly 😊and not sitting in garages or taken out for a 15min run.
@@johns5493 Not my car - my friends but yes it was a great trip! Here's some footage my friend shot on the red road a few miles north th-cam.com/video/2AP0y6m72VQ/w-d-xo.html Looks like we're crawling round most of it because of the camera angle but we also were to an extent. It's a very tight road and you couldn't see anything going in and out of those tunnels. Great memories anyway!
chris harris and jeremy clarkson are the best at explaining what cars are like to drive. Love to watch their reviews !
how can you compare this to the legend?
How can a clown as Clarkson be mentioned in the same sentence as Harris, one is a petrolhead the other a washed up comedian.
@@tedt7991 so you think clarkson isnt petrol head? btw in his earlier shiws clarkson was very objective
Maybe they should work together some day!
@@winstonsmasterplan no harris doesnt have humor
this car is amazing, had the chance to supertest it for MotorsportMag in Magny-Cours, with an astonishing laptime in the end
You drove it rather well.
Wanna trade jobs?
You mean the press car ferrari special... with a super remap that customers don't see 😂
Hopefully it's much better than the standard 488 which got wrecked on the Nordshcleife by a Camaro ZL1.
@TeacherToolkitDemo Triggered Porsche or McLaren fanboy? You got roasted by a superior car.
Wow, felt so much like Chris Harris on cars that I didn't realise that I was watching top gear. Good on you lot giving him that much creative freedom. If this is where the new (new new) top gear is going then I'm perfectly happy.
As much as I miss the old Top Gear, I’m glad it stopped trying to be something it can’t be anymore.
@W--ko9ms That's like putting a mayonnaise label on a ketchup bottle...it's still ketchup.
This is Chris Harris with a Top Gear logo stuck on.
It's a Chris Harris video, I can nonchalantly like the video before having watched it. I know in advance it's going to be pure diamond!
i swear , liked it before it started playing
I'm not sure about the car, but the review and the way in which Chris Harris presented it was phenomenal. People can complain all they like about the old Top Gear having been more fun, but I am so ready for more technical and in depth reviews by Chris Harris. Although I really do love the old trio, Chris Harris's reviews are more intellectually stimulating and give me a better understanding of the car and what it's like. I now find myself watching Top Gear for more informative car reviews and find myself watching the Grand Tour for a car related laugh. In the end things worked out pretty well for all us car guys, we now get two awesome programs to watch!
I loved the old show. Absolutely! I love the Grand Tour too. I'm also happy Chris Harris is around too. I enjoy both. I think there's room for both. I'm glad Chris is young. He's going to be around a long time, with any luck.
Not sure about the car, what do you mean? You'd hardly find anything better than this one
What do you mean "not sure about the car"? Is something wrong with you?
@@johnulmerRacing yes, there is
@@omarhasan2083 fair enough. Join the club
Cancel the silly TV show, Chris Harris Drives is all I need cartainment wise.
no proper salary on youtube.
Peek top gear? Do you live under a rock?! 😂😂
New era Top Gear should Model itself after CHoC.
Make it like pre 2002 top gear and ditch the silly challenges (not that I hate them, but it doesn't feel the same now)
It's time for the Chris Harris Show.. we had Terry Wogan.. give us Chris.. with Henry, Graham Sutcliffe, Richard Meaden... forget the rest...
So damn glad the real Chris Harris is back. Another awesome video
Chris had some very interesting thoughts about the modern supercar industry in this video, food for thought indeed Mr Harris 🤔
Even a 911 gts is too fast. I watched the pov night drive 911t (370hp) video from autotopNL, he gave it some throttle, and he went from 70kmh to 130 within 2 seconds or so. Thats way too fast for public roads, and it probably wasnt even full throttle
@@maurizioarrivabene8182 I do believe that the car community at large has become desensitized to speed and power to some extent.
Great review as always. I think Mr Harris's point about speculators/flippers is rather pertinent... it should be against the law, in Italy at least, to just store a car of this nature and not to drive it as intended.
@@@error404blah Can't agree more, whether it's super saloons, sports cars or supercars... the latter of which blur the boundary to hypercar performance. Unfortunately, the advance of electric cars and further "driver" aids will only further desensitise the sense and thrill of speed.
@@error404blah i partly agree. The guys that scream for more power probably have never driven anything more than a 150hp car from their parents, or dont even have a license. I have never driven anything more than 275nm of torque. And thats plenty...figures of 700nm are just crazy
You dont even need to tell us what car. You just need to write 'Another Chris Harris video'.
I got a Ferrari 488 GTB Edition Thrustmaster T80 wheel.
Krazy Gamer i don‘t even have that🤷🏼♂️
It's not a great wheel but I think it's decent.
What do you mean?
Sure. I'll do that.
Hahaha thanks for the laugh :)
Thank you Top Gear for letting Chris and Neil do their thing... Best in the biz.
Unbelievably stunning car to look at. That rear end had me staring at it for hours, it’s beautiful 😍
This is one magnificent Ferrari, that burble is immense, and the passion, a true car lover
More of this please Top Gear.
i haven't watched it yet, but videos from chris like this brightens my day, thank you!
I have to disagree with Chris about NA engines. In my opinion NA's have so much more character and they can be run harder on back roads and mountain roads with out going ridiculously fast. On public roads I'd much rather feel fast than actually be fast. The better exhaust note certainly contributes to feeling fast
That’s why the performante > these new age Ferrari’s.
I swear....watching this legend driving these legends is legendary. Made my weekend with this video.
Amazing car! Ferrari rules! Thank you, *Top Gear* !
Make Top Gear great again! Have Chris Harris lead the show with the deep pockets of the show!
I wonder what made them think that 720 is the perfect horsepower number for this 🤔 , Hmmmm....
Ishkaran Brar it's actually 711...
@@russellcoight1718 720 metric horsepower = 710 imperial horsepower (let's call it 711)
Surely it can't be because of the McLaren 720S, that would just be crazy
Ishkaran Brar copy the 720s
@@TheAllAroundMan That's what it appears to be
@2:42 this Ferrari is making Chris do the "italian hand" thing 😂😂😂
They should bring out a new F355 with pop up lights, my favourite! 😁
Chris Harris and Henry Catchpole, this show needs to exist.
Can't treat these cars as an "inanimate object". Note to Ferrari and Porsche on this. Most GT owners and track edition owners I know never track or even drive them hard. Bravo to McLaren and Lambo in making their Perfomante or LT (thinking 600LT) cars somewhat obtainable without owning many other of the brand or paying crazy amounts over sticker.
I lol'ed at "I'm just not sure people want to see a supercar coming out the roundabout sideways on the public highway" heheh
The new ferrari 488 pista is such a sexy car
said all of the arabs and slavs in unison.........
Perfect review! I love how he finds the perfect context for this car and does not talk from a VW Passat drivers perspective and says generic phrases like „it sticks to the road like glue“
These garage Queens should be available to anyone who wants one and can afford it not just limited availability.yolo
Unfortunately that's not how Ferrari does business.....
Magic. A car with a soul. Chris you nailed again. I've watched you from the days of Autocar in fact since your very first video review. Followed you through EVO Magazine etc When you review a car you do it so well you draw people in. You bring the love of cars out of people. Cars are an extension of my life. They raise the hair on the back of my neck. When I watch a video of this quality I just want to get in my car and drive. I know when I am driving because I have a smile on my face.
Looks so much better then the 720s, from a McLaren fan.
That's subjective . 720s looks better to me and the interior is just better , it just is
No no though the 720s may be fast on a straight line but Ferrari always wins on the looks department. 720 look alien like from front
A Memphis red 720s is one of the best looking cars on the market imo
So that being said there two different for some people to choose both (Im a McLaren fan And the 720s looks to good for me)
OK ferrari guy in disguise
Loving your work
Are you guys getting the Pista?
Yes, looking forward to it
The lap times this thing pulls are chaos. It’s destroying all its competitors
@Farina Marcina what does that make you, a 12 year old who can't except that people like other stuff, Lambo and Ferrari use to be behind in terms of performance, now both are finally catching up, how about you be happy about it and stop putting your fanboyish attitude in the way. There all great cars.
Farina Marcina I’m English and adore Ferrari
and in which comparisons did you actually see this? Here is one, where this is clearly not the case: www.roadandtrack.com/pcoty-2019/
Here is another one, where the Pista is again slower (than a 991 GT3RS this time) and the editors actually conclude, that the name Pista is misleading, since the car is not really a hardcore track biest: th-cam.com/video/CG7Cmv46avA/w-d-xo.html
So, Mr. Trump, check your facts!
LOOK NO BRAKES It depends on the track. If the Pista can use it‘s power is the main question. I saw a test lately (can‘t remember exactly which one, sorry. Some car of the year thing..) on a tighter circut, temperatures around 18degree celcius and the pista got smashed by a 991.2 GT3 RS. The GT3 could use all it‘s power while the Pista was drifting around... Like Chris said in the video: 50% throttle is enough to light it‘s rear tires. Must be a beast around Silverstone or Spa though.
@Can do Life The ferrari "press" car special
New Chris Harris vid on my Birthday...Thank you TG for the birthday present
This video reminds me of the reviews that Chris and Neil used to do before Top Gear....awesome
chris harris just made my day!
Mr Harris is responsible for the monthly changing of my rear tires on my CLS55 AMG with his videos that make you wanna grab your keys and go for a crazy drive..
What makes Chris Harris amazing is that he makes me feel as if I’m with him on the passenger seat like genuinely makes me feel as if I drove the car the man is amazing on how he explains every bump he feels while driving I honestly can’t explain it but I’m sure everyone who watches his content can relate
This is pushing half a million pounds now! I remember the 360 CS was only about 130k the worlds gone mad!
You got a Ferrari FF yet chris? Love that car!!!
James Sheehy Chris had the FF ages ago check his review
I think he has a 599 GTB
@@petroa.9134 also sold that by now, he does own a 512tr
Mad indeed James, considering how incredible the 360CS was and still is, it’s the most fun I’ve had in a car and I was only the passenger, the CS sounds like no other Supercar and the sense of occasion due to the stripped out interior, shear grip of the thing and the big stripe down the middle makes you think you are Ayrton Senna, it is wonderful and the first Ferrari I would have bar none!
What’s everyone’s favourite ferrari?
I’m torn between F50 and Enzo personally! But love 360 cs and 575m so much 90’s baby haha
This car is so advanced it almost removes the raw skill the driver needs normally to handle a platform with these figures, however Ferrari have excelled themselves and thrown everything they have learnt into this area it's utterly breathtakingly fast. I love it.
Reason I hate turbo cars are because they Rev to very low RPM. But then comes Ferrari and shows me I know nothing having a turbo engine go up to 8k. Show me the 9k, and I am sold.
Then buy a 458 and turbo charge it
Turbos don't have to rev. High they have a turbo to make up for that
@@allensaunders449 but I love the sound of high Rev cars.
@@demonwares IKR!!!!!!!! the bugatti EB110 did a 3.5L V12 going to like 8,500 RPM with 4 turbos on it.............and it sounds mental...........
meanwhile the 488 speciale/720s/gt2 RS mostly sound like wet dog farts or nothing at all.........
You can't imagine how happy i am that these style of chris harris videos are still alive. love topgear just for keeping this alive
Red is fast. 😁
Red is fast, white is class, and black is bad ass!
Chris Harris reviewing cars like this will always be my benchmark for car reviews on youtube. I could watch these all day.
Just choked when I saw this video appear in my recommandations
This guy has the coolest job ever
Engine displacement dropping, compensate with a couple of turbos. Durability? We will wait and see. Actually if you can afford a top tier Ferrari just buy a new engine when it comes time. Im glad head boss of Ferrari Sergio Marchionne wants to leave the V12 alone at least for the time being. It is the core engine of Ferrari. The magnificent sound of an N/A12 motor.
5:41 : That rear end is something else! Top video!
Fun vid Chris! Question: How come you talk trash about Ferrari's Special Series cars and you gush like a skank when Mclaren and Porsche do it? Who cares how much they cost? You're not the one paying! Best to focus on how they perform relative to each other. Period. Thank God you decided to share the genius engineering and capability of this car. C'mon man, this car is THE current ROCK STAR! Not the 2RS nor the 600LT can come near it ;-)
A refreshing 'signature' Chris Harris video. Makes me wish our roads weren't snow/ice covered so I could go out for a quick blast...in my not to so quick car, just to row my own and feel the road.
Ferraris are always faster in Fiorano, if you know what I mean

Give Chris Harris his own recurring Netflix show already.
Remember nothing can sound as good as natural aspiration, nothing.
Best of which is?
I agree there is a certain something to a NA exhaust note that is deeply pleasing, but the soundtrack of numerous turbo and supercharged cars, albeit quite different, are equally addictive... at least to me anyway.
@@drcaw5422 Well naturally aspirated engine are usually louder to start with. With a turbo you usually get a wosh sound.
Chriss. You will forever be the best. So realistic and direct. Our vocabulary styles are different but you still inspire my to be better each time. Love o watch you do what you do. One day we'll do a show together. 2020 August. Now watch the world work in our favor👏👏👏👏😀😀😀😀 believe it and watch it come to life.
The SOUND is better than a 488 but 458 still have the greatest sounding V8😔😔😔
458 Speciale has the greatest sound V8 from Ferrari.But there are V8s from other companies that sound just as good or better !
430 scuderia even better!
miklu26 360 with Full Capristo is the best. Better than the Scud. Trust me, I owned a 2008 Scud with full Capristo on it. 360CS still sounds better. But my Scud sure sounded better that Pista or Speciale for that matter.
@@timmietz yeah....360 cs has a challenge engine(maybe)😍😍
Which is not as good as the V10 in The Lamborghini Huracan Performante
I could watch Chris Harris reviews all day. Just love his style of review and the way he can actually drive.
It Pista me off that Ferrari had to put turbos in.
Chris Harris drives needs to be the main video of this channel. Come on he is the best
*turns traction control off*
“Let’s see what happens”
Yeah, I wonder what’ll happen when Chris Harris turns traction control off on a 700+ hp Ferrari lol
Finally did it with the sf 90 ! 1000hp yes
I saw one of these at a car show today in Paignton. It had the carbon fibre wheels which looked stunning. All the carbon fibre in the engine bay was also stunning.
The more power you add to these supercars the harder it becomes to make them good drivers cars without charging millions! Thats why a gt3 rs is so good! Its balanced! It has around 550 horsepower!! every thing is matched!! All big companies are just chasing numbers as i guess numbers sell but are they great drivers cars????? I dont think so! And in modern cars if you are doing 120mph it feels slow!! It only feels fast at high end! Older cars are way more fun! They are more alive! Modern cars feel dead or lack feeling!! They need to dial back a little and concentrate on balancing and matching the drivetrain and suspension perfectly!! In this vid Chris says the engine is great but not all of the car! Everything has to be perfect! The 458 speciale will still be better than this pista! Less power less everything but it all works in sync! Just my opinion!!😎
So in love with these videos. Chris Harris does the top tier car video of this time.
Is it faster than a McLaren 720s or 675LT
In track it is quicker than both. In a straight line I think its quicker than a 675LT, but slower than a 720S.
Remember that the 720s is not the track focussed version... that'll be the 750LT or whatever it'll be called ;-)
I love the video! Thank you to Top Gear for allowing this video to happen. However, car review videos are so much better in 50-60fps. These vehicles move so quickly that it looks so choppy in 30fps. Please start filming in 50-60fps.
Minimum 60 fps plus 4k

Chris, do you like the paddles mounted in the steering wheel or column?
I like the honesty of these reviews, great driving and commentary as always...Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way!
"I don't care. Go out and drive it dude". Well said Chris. This is why you are the best reviewer ever.
Pista > Performanté
Let me fix that for you:
Pista
@@eventusvantos2770 th-cam.com/video/N2Opne_k3Og/w-d-xo.html sorry, pista is better
Eventus Vantos nahh nahhhhh. Pista big bro. Pista. I like the Performanté, though. But, the pista got it the 🏆
Pista is probably faster but the Performante wins on every other aspect.Sound,interior,steering wheel feedback and it's not much slower than the Pista.Probably the tyres are the reason !
Ilias G1 chill!!!! 🤚🏾
The best automotive journalist. Full stop. Thanks Chris!
I can already hear Salomondrin hate rant. Saying "Ferrari is a scam they only sell brand. their costumer service is trash" McLaren is the best. Thank god his car got burned
You mentioned thr S word blah
Chris and Matt were the only reasons I still watch Top Gear. Will keep watching as long as Chris is presenting.
Tyson Fury was robbed
LMAO
Less normally aspirated but it still sounds pretty much like any other turbocharged car. Actually, I’ve heard 4 pots that sound as good, which is not good for a Ferrari. Just Not the same, turbocharging is also one of the reasons that that power car be used, 1/3 throttle and the tyres light up out of bends, the only way to make cars like this tractable is alter the boost curve which sort of defeats the point, or make them all 4WD.
Rather have a more modern *McLaren 720S*
Me too a step beyond this car which i like

*McLaren 720s has left the chat*
Yes its out on front of this car
Allen Saunders it’s actually slower than the Pista check the lap times
please keep chris & neil videos alive... true perfection
how does the GT2RS gets all of its power down with traction control off then? -> German engineering ;)
different tyre and rear engine. Don't bring "this nation builds better cars than this", because the Pista or GT2RS are masterpieces of themselves.
And either Porsche or Ferrari ever claimed that their cars are better or not, because the have the respect for each of their products and have different range of customers.
Baller Lifestyle it gets all of its power down? So you telling me a GT2RS can get 100% grip on any road surface with 100% throttle from the get go?
Also, there's a little thing called downforce that plays a big role as well. Ferrari has a self-imposed design limitation in that they've promised to never use external spoilers for extra downforce (they view it as an unnecessary crutch). Meanwhile, the GT2RS and GT3RS have park benches installed over the rear of the car. Same thing with the Corvette ZR1, Huracan Performante, Viper ACR, etc. The amount of traction (and downforce) that Ferrari has squeezed out of the Pista's otherwise tame exterior is nothing short of amazing.
A big wing a better wheels? Genius
Joel Schembri
They all do limit it, the 488 GTB and 488 Pista even limit it all the way until gear 7. That’s the only gear where it produces max torque.
The only reason that Top Gear still relevant is Chris Harris, top bloke 👍
Ferrari tunes their press cars to make them faster than the actual cars they sell. Chris wrote an article several years ago talking about this
That was why they stopped letting him drive their new cars.
Chris always on point! Tha Neil filming is also something spectacular!
Im here for Chris.. not the ferrari

Listen again what Chris says here about the control weights (particularly the overly light and disconnected steering), many car journalists have made the same observations, in a McLaren those same control weights are far more natural and connected. Plus McLarens are just plain old ridiculously fast and many of their customers really like the fact that their cars have a carbon fiber chassis, something Ferrari cannot boast about. Each to their own, but there are many reasons why someone might choose a McLaren over a Ferrari, brand perception might also play a big role for some...
Because Ferrari stands for reliable?
Lmao it stands for catching fire
asp1 have you drove any?
@@HnK_Alex tell that to Salomondrin
Lack of soul is just BS marketing. I'm 99% sure you have never driven a Ferrari or McLaren. Go drive either and you will be blown away.
