    488 is incredible but Alex is even more so. The way he finishes is just phenomenal.

      That's subjective yet Everyone knows turbos ruins the sound of the engine. Since when did Lamborghini turbo charge their engine? Nor is it likely if they make and suv that it will be turbo charged. Your English is atrocious, your channel is garbage and you're still 12..

  • @treyperry9722
    @treyperry9722 Před 7 lety +1

    The 458 is one of the prettiest cars of all time. So for me I'd take the 458 but if you're about speed and speed only then the 488 definitely is the right call.

  • @aaronvenn8660
    @aaronvenn8660 Před 7 lety

    That blue. So beautiful.

  • @NikoBell12
    @NikoBell12 Před 7 lety +8

    Saw (and heard it start up) a 458 Spider yesterday. Well specc'd, not red but pearl white with a dark brown cockpit and yellow calipers. I can't say I like the way the 488 looks more. And even if the 488 sounds good it just doesn't sound as good and never will. Saw a 488 Spider in a similar spec to the 458 yesterday (except beige interior). I'd prefer the 458. In the end they're both beautiful but I wish the 458's successor was completely different from the 458, maybe then the switch to turbo would be less dramatic.

    • @Raritytuber
      @Raritytuber Před 7 lety

      I hear you. The 458 is my dream Ferrari (when not thinking about the high end ones), although the 488 looks stunning in blue.

    • @Ezero8
      @Ezero8 Před 7 lety +3

      Raritytuber Same. I'd take a 458 over the 488 any day.

    • @MiketheNerdRanger
      @MiketheNerdRanger Před 7 lety

      NikoBell12 Sure it doesn't sound as good, but LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE about the 488 is a step above the 458; handling, speed, power, torque, aerodynamics, even exhilaration factor despite its gimped sound, all above the 458. Personally, I don't think sound should be so much more important than every other aspect of the car. Also I think it sounds alright, good enough even.
      I CAN'T take the 458 over the 488 if given the option.

  • @93455Driver
    @93455Driver Před 7 lety +1

      @anthonydeluca6966 Před 7 lety +10

      +Mbaze Pashtufu That is a giant false dichotomy if I've ever seen it. Maybe if you actually experienced a 488 or something similar you would get it, you can't just make these stupid claims.

    • @mikeg5172
      @mikeg5172 Před 7 lety +3

      Mbaze Pashtufu first of all, the car I drive is a manual, and Ive been driving manual for the last 11 years.. from my Evo 9 to my 335i.. im just tired of hearing the same shit in every video.

    • @therealbajan522
      @therealbajan522 Před 7 lety

      I think you mean dramatic in place of Exhilaration as the 488gtb drives better in every way, it is faster, has more grip and is more exciting to drive. It doesn't sound as dramatic but is a more exhilarating drive.

    This is not a criticism of this particular 488 video but of all 488 videos on CZcams. That all show the car driven fast down empty roads waxing lyrically about it's grip and the sound of the exhaust etc. Not a single video shows the car as it will most likely be used 60%+ of it's time. Not a single video of it driving through city traffic or even street parking. Dull these things may be but to get the full picture of a car they are things which I feel should be displayed. Plus of course hooning down country roads. Of course !

  • @electrictoxic80
    @electrictoxic80 Před 7 lety

    The thing about this turbo is the 488 limit its output on low rev so its response feels more like a torquey electric car rather than a NA car. But still, losing that 9k revving motor is a let down.

  • @marcg5227
    @marcg5227 Před 7 lety

    Why does every reviewer say "Is it any good with a turbo?". The F40 did it in the 80's and, is still considered one of the best driver cars ever made. (oh... he did talk about it.) :-)

  • @arthurzdentz111
    @arthurzdentz111 Před 7 lety

    I do prefer the 458 spyder still. I find its design just that bit more elegant due to the lack of intakes and air bridges, etc. To me it is the perfect italian sports car. The name was well chosen: Italia.
