I was lucky enough to get mine today and I have to say... the noise that the car makes is just out of this world. You can barely hear it here... the video falls flat by a long shot. Also, this car is extremely drivable when it comes down to "every day use". All the electronics work (which is a first for me. My 599 can't even handle my iPod 90% of the time). This is just tremendously ridiculously awesome! Ferrari KILLED IT!
Observe from 3.03 to 3.13. The car sticks to the wet road like magnet! Just look how composed and planted it seems during that time. Epic car.
Honestly I think this might be the greatest car ever made, so beautiful and so fast
this is the most beautiful thing ever made by a mankind....
I saw one of these yesterday leaving Denton, Texas, of all places. It looked amazing but the sound as it merged onto I-35S will be in my memory for all time. It's almost as badass as my 2007 Ford Escape 4-cylinder.
My neighbor just got one of these. I was about to cry when I saw it. Can't wait for a ride.
Dang, the sound just aah... simply fantastic that it rings my heart & pump my adrenalin by just the sound of the revving engine!!!!
this is one of my favorite 2nd ferrari 458 italia best car ever in my life because people trying to argue with a pricy car that they dont know what there saying
These things look just amazing in person. The best looking car ive ever seen. Videos dont do it justice.
Gorgeous!
Absolutely love the three-port exhaust! Looks insane!
just the sound of that, the acceleration with the 4.5 litre engine must feel absolutely fantastic
The huracan, all the mclaren cars, porsche 911 turbo s, etc... are indeed faster and have better performances than the 458, but in terms of fun, the 458 wins.
I couldn’t agree more. As a VWG fan, I always thought and think Porsche has the best tech in the world and as a person who owns a Panamera 971 4S and failed to persuade his father not to buy the 458 and instead go for the Huracan cos it’s faster (Nür Nordschlife Laptime - altho that’s the Performante) but now I finally get y people say ‘Ferraris Ferraris’ and y Ferrari ppl say ‘458s 458s’
simply beautiful
this has to be the best video review of this car on youtube; what a sublime car!
What a well sculpted work of art - it's just incredible!
still my fav 458 review
LOL! this guy now works for mclaren!! He should look back to his old opinions about ferraris! ;)
?
Wow that sound is addictive!
what a beauty, what a work of art, a masterpiece.
belleza perfecta
I love the indicator location WOW that's just perfect for me and I hope it catchs on!
Wow, saw this at the paddock Hockenheim - great design...
his shiver at 1:22 sums up everything that a supercar is about
Beautiful and the fit and finish and handling look spectacular.
One again Ferrari has improved upon perfection.
Technical development of the cars shaped started using CFD (Computational Fluid-Dynamic) techniques which helped optimise the management and interaction of the internal flows prior to wind tunnel testing. The final solution chosen ensured adequate cooling to the running gear, while, at the same time, achieving a high level of aerodynamic efficiency (1.09) through excellent drag and downforce figures (Cd 0.33 and Cl 0.36 respectively), no less than 360 kg of downforce at top speed.
Just came here after the f8 tributo video just to hear how the ferraris should still sound and look like..
Gosh I can't wait to get mine!
I had the amazing opportunity to drive one this weekend, and WOW, its better than you can imagine. Better than reviews make it sound as well. Too bad it was only 10 minutes, hope to drive it again someday!
@1madaboutguitar ditto. omg, what a piece of art
Jamie is incorrect in saying that the dampers are adjustable on the manettino (3:50). The manettino only adjusts the transmission and traction control. The seperate suspension "Shumacher" button is the only thing that changes the suspension setting. I stand corrected.
@Archergod
Of course its music. Pardon my ignorance. :-)
i have to admit i wasnt sure when i first saw the concept designs for this car, but seeing it now, just takes your breath away.
I saw one of these go down the road!!! They are BEAST!!!
458 as variable valve timing on intake and exhaust side, and a dual plenum intake manifold whose central section as three pneumatic throttle valve that open and close at varying time to effect the inlet air desired.
On the 458 Italia the E-Diff 3 and F1-Trac control software are integrated in the same ECU. This minimises communication times between the two systems.
Compared to previous versions, E-Diff 3 delivers improved torque distribution coming out of corners, which translates into improved grip, better roadholding and more progressive handling on the limit. The result is an improvement of 32 percent in longitudinal acceleration out of corners compared to previous models
458 Italy now is the definitive sports car. It is not just performance, or high-technology infused in this car, it's a question of charisma, emotion, adrenaline, excitement, history, blazon, style, sound, feeling with the steering. And this machine embodies all these elements. But the beauty of this car is his versatility, thanks to manettino and magnetorheological suspensions you can have the comfort of a grand tourer in bumpy road or switch to a set-up for the track without electronic aids.
The 458 Italia also features the latest, second-generation Magnetorheological Suspension Control shock absorber system. Compared to the system first introduced on the 599 GTB Fiorano, SCM2 boasts an evolved ECU (-50 per cent input time) and a damper force generation time of 8 ms compared to the 599s 15 ms. There is also a new piston rod bushing in the damper which reduces internal friction (-35 per cent) for more precise small-bump control and improved ride comfort.
@MRBMW10 Yes, this car IS faster than 430 scuderia.
The 430 S is about 1 second slower than 458 on the fiorano track.
(i'm just waiting for the version without air restrictors in the engine, it should have more than 600 bhp)
This car looks so good, several notches higher than the 430 and 360, and easily on par with the Gallardo in terms of flash. The photos circulating the web don't do it justice.
Can't wait to see what the spyder looks like.
loving my 458 live in london had to pick it up 200 miles away was a dream to drive on motorway not the norm supercar feel for a long drive
looks stunning in the sun
I think this car is best looking and sounding mid engine ferrari ever
For me 458 Italia respresents everything that makes Ferrari great. The looks, the power, the noise, the excitement... its just an awesome machine.
MP4-12C may be faster, but if it was my money... 458 Italia every time.
I can't think of a word to describe this car it is amazing and everything a Ferrari should be!!!!!!!!
No car will ever look better than this does, it's the most amazing machine i've ever seen.
@uteropo. Formula One cars use semi-automatic sequential gearboxes with seven forward gears and one reverse gear. The driver initiates gear changes using paddles mounted on the back of the steering wheel and electro-hydraulics perform the actual change as well as throttle control. Clutch control is also performed electro-hydraulically except from and to a standstill when the driver must operate the clutch using a lever mounted on the back of the steering wheel.
One of the sickest Ferrari's ever made, and anyone that give the 458 a thumbs down is not into sports cars.
The 458 Italia is standard equipped with the best Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes: 6-pot aluminium callipers with 398 x 223 x 36 mm discs at the front, and 4-pot aluminium callipers with 360 x 233 x 32 mm discs at the rear. The 458 Italia boasts outstanding braking distances thanks to the development and optimisation of Bosch control logic and Ferraris Pre-Fillogic, which reduces response times by activating the pistons in the callipers.
So excited I get to ride in one of these pretty soon.
how awesome is that interior !
@MrByronpendleton
I agree with you about the 430 Scuderia, but the 599 GTO is quite hardcore enough for me.
What a master peace from blistering gear change to 126hp per liter and 88lbs/ftq per liter from a V8, and 800lbs of down force(at top speed) with out a spoiler and still manage a 0.33 coefician of drag. E-diff3 and F1 track run by one ECU. Ferrari way head of compediteur.
@KPKonliner that engine sound is amasing one of the best and non of thats cheap
Nobody builds cars like Ferrari. This one is simply magnificent.
how can he go the whole video without even commenting on the look of the car?? it looks amazing!
New lap record for Ferrari 458 in Vairano track:
1.15:146 - Ferrari 458 Italia (Michelin Pilot Sport)
1.15:375 - Ferrari 430 Scuderia (Alain Prost)
1.15:528 - Porsche 997 GT2 (Alain Prost)
1.15:714 - Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (Alain Prost)
1.17:065 - Mercedes SLS AMG (Continental ContiSportContact)
1.17:600 - Nissan GTR (Alain Prost)
The music intro brings back memories
no, there is a small constant speedometer on the button left screen
Increíble un obra de arte en un vehículo......espectacular
Wow. Just wow. This car's design is just stunning and way better than all previous Ferrari design's (to my taste)
@EnzoF288 it has a steering shifter.
The 458 Italias front suspension employs a novel new double wishbone set-up which features an L-shape design for the lower wishbone. Thanks to the new rear multi-link suspension overall vertical rigidity has thus been improved (+35 per cent with respect to the F430) for less body roll, and the engineers were able to introduce a more direct steering ratio (11.9° compared to the F430s 16.9°) which makes for quicker and more responsive steering on both road and track.
E-diff is a limitied slip differential but it is not just mechanical it is also govern by a ECU. Therefor electric differential.
to be honest, i didn't like the way the italia looked at first, but it grew on me! it seems like what a true ferrari should be.
I think Ferrari have excelled themselves with this car just when you might have thought they had developed the V8 mid engine layout to it's ultimate form in the F430 they come up with this. It's looks simply stunning, and technically it is quite incredible 1380kg, 4.5ltr V8 560hp @9000RPM ......Wow
Well said! Manual gear shift adds to the raw experience and driver involvement!
Some rumors say that the F70 will be the spiritual heir of the legendary F40 (which had a V8 159cv / l in 1987), with a twin turbo V8 engine 4-4.5L, 800 + hp. Probably will adopt the Multiair technology with electro-hydraulic variable valve actuation
i saw one of these at the detroit international autoshow...it was yellow and it is amazing in person
This is kinda a dumb question but is driving manual transmission difficult with these cars? Being from America, I've never driven a manual car. How is it with a supercar like this?
BEAUTIFUL car!! If only Italy's cruise ship captains and football teams had half as much integrity as their car makers, it would be glorious!
1:18 the face of the happiest person in the world.
That Ferrari is able to design such a car around very sophisticated technology is a real tribute to the brand. The innovative techniques to deliver air to the engine and brakes while compensating for front fender lift is very impressive. Let's see American cars produce 500bhp from a 4.5 litre (about 289 cu in) engine.
Wow with that kind of compresion ratio and a redline @9000rpm can't wait to hear it with a capristo stage3 exhaust system. F1 sound for street for sure.
Ferraris has been getting 118hp per liter since 1995. Hondas in japan use different fuel therefor different tuning so 458 in japan get more then 126.667hp per liter. Also Honda use a inline 4 cylender motor witch is easy to rev at high rpm and get 120hp per liter. The cam gear are aligne with crankshaft easy to get right timing
Also ferraris are hand crafted from ground up and they do all that in one factory, they resive raw material and 3 month later the car is complite.they're is a few robot at Ferrari factory, they go true intense inpection and if they don't meet Ferrari standar(witch is no flaw) is back to squar one. QUALITY!!
@sakisdog93 yeah, hahha. It's from the ep. where Jeremy tests the Porshe GT3 vs. The lightweight Ferrari 360.
@GiaiJ1 I disagree on Slr, which is a mclaren so also a premium sportscar
and ultimate offroader is and always will be the range rover, not hummer h1.
H1 is just a commercialized army vehicle.
This is the first Ferrari that makes my inside tingle :)
Driving Fun!
Awesome¡¡¡
Simple question @halim tell me what technology the Nissan GTR use that is equal to the 458??????
@Cayo255 whats wrong with the enzo, its 10 years old now and looks like it couldn't be built for another 50 years. beautiful.
The engine is something very special.
One word - wow.
Yeah and in Singapore you can't do anything except drive in the city as well. IF you want to take your super car out to malaysia, you have to apply for a visa three days before, because of the car's width
wow, Ferrari is just amazing. They totally destroy the competition with this new 458 Italia, it is so beautiful!
The modular chassis is an all-new design. New alloys join the traditional aluminium, along with high-resistance aluminium extrusions, developed by the aerospace industry, and innovative manufacturing processes, such as heat-forming. The aim was to keep weight down to the benefit of performance and handling. The result is a chassis with improved structural rigidity, with torsional rigidity up 15 per cent compared to the F430, and beam stiffness up 5 per cent.
awesome
@halim181276 well... LEDs like the audi r8. its sort of the trend with upscale cars now
You know how much this 458 costs in Indonesia?
$800000. And that DOESN'T include road tax (around $2500). And yearly tax (around $2500).
@JayRicci7891 I feel that way too... about the F40.
@sw1000xg
pretty sure a GTR is a lot heavier than the both of them, the 458 is rear wheel drive also. That should help
the engine on the 2009-present Ferrari 458 Italia
Engine
4.5 L V8
looks brilliant cant wait till top gear test it
the headlights and the fins at the front say, "Don't fuck with me!" It looks pissed off. that car is insanity!. My goal in life is to get this car and drift just 1 time like he did
@TheCottonTop Yeah. I have to agree with you on that...
