    This is why Chris was banned from driving Ferraris for years. He wrote a column on Jalopnik talking about how Ferrari would demand to know which tracks the car would be tested on so they could send engineers along beforehand and adjust the setup to suit, sometimes sending 2 cars: one for the track test segment and one for the 0-60 & drag race tests, both tuned to suit each test. One of the cars Ferrari sent glued its tyres to the rollers when being dyno tested because they put racing tyres on it disguised to look like the standard P Zeros or whatever. Every magazine let's them do this, otherwise you don't get to test Ferraris. A lot of 360 modena owners were annoyed when the car provided for a review was 2 seconds quicker to 100mph than a customer car. In Chris' own words: “It’s gotten out of control; to the point that it will soon be pointless believing anything you read about its cars through the usual channels, because the only way you get access is playing by its rules.”
    He did get to drive a 458 during his ban though - apparently Clarkson lent him his press car for a day, its on TH-cam.

      Yes. Those who drove the yellow press 458 now know it was halfway to being a a 458 Challenge underneath. But here’s an important point, I’ve also heard other journalists point out that while the press Ferrari’s were surely customized, they’ve driven plenty of customer cars and really the experience was equally fantastic. So it seems that while the numbers may not be trustworthy, the experience is still fantastic.

      Joshua Thiel Magazines should just stop reciewing Ferraris then. They have dozens of other cars to test, so it is not a big loss.
      Ferrari would be much worse off, if no one would review their cars if they are cheating.

    • @LethalJizzle
      @LethalJizzle 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@alexbelmonte4581 True, in the article Chris wonders why they felt the need to put sticky tyres on a Scuderia, since its already incredibly fast and a very good car. Seems Ferrari with their race pedigree and heritage feel they NEED to be faster than the comparable Lambos and McLarens, or else their brand would lose its prestige. I imagine a lot of Ferrari owners like to feel smug that they have the "best" car and if Ferraris start getting beaten in tests by other brands, they're worried the image of the brand would be damaged and those customers will go elsewhere.

    Even though we love Chris Harris, we have to admit that even he contradicts himself and changes his opinion to not follow trends. Example: he says the 720s is perfect in other videos, all the car you need. Then says the Pista is too powerful.
    A few years ago he wouldnt even mention a Scud in the same sentence as a Speciale (go look at his first review), now that everyone likes the Speciale, he prefers the Scud.

      If you have ever been to a racing event by Ferrari you actually would know that the customers that actually track their cars get the services of the “technicians” as well.
      The funny thing is that the people saying Ferrari can’t build fast cars always tell you the press cars are 2 seconds faster than the customer car which is basically a antithesis as they tell you the guys that can’t build fast cars sent Mario and Luigi and all of a sudden the “slow” car is doing lap records.

    Well, I think the true competitor to the 488 Pista will be the LT variant of the McLaren 720S.

    • @cars4us217
      @cars4us217 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the_ enthusiast That’s what I tought the moment they started comparing them. At the end, the Pista has 110hp more than a 600LT, so not a fair battle in my opinion

    chris harris is an honest man, i do feel like brits always have a inclination to want a McLaren.
    It's the same reason why us Americans prefer a Ford GT even though it lacks in straight line speed compared to its rivals.

    • @Cloxxki
      @Cloxxki 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Brits were already in a luxury position with their performance car market but struck really lucky with McLaren going big.
      I'm not feeling the Ford GT. Too derivative, forcefully exclusive, overpriced for its capability and real world practicality. A 720S at half price will slap it while holding not just its handbag, but its frigging suitcases.

    • @carlosmartinez3020
      @carlosmartinez3020 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The only twp countries that need to be really proud or deserve to show is the Sweden and Germany, honestly what the Swedish have done with their Volvo cars and their koenigsegg cars is beyond belief, like 1300+ from 5.0 V8 and the results speak for themselves, now that's engineering at its finest, and as for Germany well their cars have been the best especially the E30 being the most beautiful car ever made on this planet honestly even by today's standards it's such a beautiful car I can't think of any car that it I had all the wealth of the world that I'd chose over the E30 man those days were the best and the best thing is the Germans are still great with their new Audi's and mercs and BMW's

  • @BorjaOjeda
    @BorjaOjeda 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mr. Harris showcasing massive balls here again. What he says at the beginning about Ferrari showing up to the test with 5 engineers/mechanics to prep the car for the track and his comparison to Porsche is EXACTLY what got him shunned by Ferrari years ago. This honesty is much, much appreciated.

  • @markhumberstone7068

    for the ferrari technicians thing :
    the car is called the pista, it's a track focused car you buy to do laptimes. I can't see why it's wrong to bring some technicians to prepare the car for the track.
    Mclaren should have do the same
    and Porsche and Lamborghini do the same on the Nurburgring.

  • @burrogrande
    @burrogrande 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow, so cool to know that Harris also prefers the Scud. That and actually f430 are the best sounding modern v8 Ferraris. I feel that the sound has much more character than 360/458.
    However the 355 is the daddy🔥

    This is the Chris Harris we want and need, not the clowny Chris Harris in the previous season of Top Gear. He speaks way too intelligently about cars and car stuff to be relegated to a plucky side kick.

    • @leoa4c
      @leoa4c 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely. The BBC wanted to replicate the trio dynamic. So they brought an arrogant American and a loud annoying DJ thinking: "Yes... this will work!". It didn't.
      Chris Harris is a breath of fresh air. If the BBC let him be himself, he will do a proper show. Just let the star shine by itself!

    • @richardneall
      @richardneall 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Christiano Dörnatore I completely agree but the problem is, 95% of people who can afford these supercars, are showoffs who just want to tell their mates how much HP they have. They are never going to drive them properly so simply won’t get excited about the wonder that is driving a super lite, mid powered car. Power will continue to rise until there’s a ban IMO.
