  • We take a break from the real world to do a quick review on the Ferrari 488 Spider. Today companies like McLaren, Lamborghini and Ferrari still command the most attention in the super and hyper car kingdom. But with an obscene price tag why would someone put this on the shopping list?

    From the extreme frustration Mark experiences driving the Ferrari in commuting traffic, to his confession when the road opens up that this car would cost him his license, it’s hard not to come to the conclusion he’d be having more fun in a Mazda MX-5.

      This is why i always say, more than 500hp in a road car is a waste. 300-400 is the sweet spot. Preferably with a manual transmission.
      Leave the 650hp DCTs for track day.

    Excellent video! I spent a tiny fraction of what this car costs on a loaded 981 Cayman S with PDK and sports exhaust and I reached the point where nearly every time I drove it I had to restrain myself or end up in traffic school again. After about 6 months of ownership I realized I was tired of dealing with traffic or being LIDAR sniped. In a relatively short period of ownership the car lost too much of its original appeal to where the car sat in the garage unused for weeks at a time until I finally got rid of it. It took owning an amazing sounding naturally aspirated flat 6 mid engine Porsche to realize that owning a performance sports car was meaningless and why I finally understand why its more fun driving a much slower car fast.

    Just came across this today. What a great reviewer! ---- On another note, today I heard my first 488 Spider ( In TDF blue I think) accelerate right in front of me! I always heard negatives about the sound, but this was anything but negative. No 458 highs, but it had is own presence and authority! I was very favorably impressed.

    they are wonderful to watch.
    As for the Ferrari 488 Spider review;
    That is one of the best reviews I have ever seen,
    that is such an intelligent review, not dealing with 0-100,
    that is a review to watch several times and then of course buy the car.

    I would LOVE to have traffic like that around here! Out in Los Angeles area, you're lucky to break 35mph on some days. And no room for short bursts of speed. Oddly, this is the same area of the country where Ferraris are mostly commonly found. Nice review, as always.

  • @joeenck9065
    @joeenck9065 Před 6 lety

    That is by far the best, most honest, brain-driven video of a Ferrari I've seen on the net. And I've seen many. Most others drift their ass off or go flat out with those things over a track, which is something a lifelong fan of the brand would never ever do, because you wouldn't wanna put so much stress to the chassis, the tires, the suspension , the brakes. You'd have to pay for every mile a ton of money and it would diminish the respect you have for the car. Those 1-percenters, they're different. They have no respect, not for the car, not for the brand,not for other people and most of the time not even for themselves if they were honest. So your review is that of a car-enthusiast really diggin' in the problem of having one of these and being responsible for maintaining such a treat. Thanks and a happy new year 2018!

    I love these super cars but I'll never have any desire to own one. It would feel like owning a cheetah that I kept in my 4,000 sq ft backyard. My brain couldn't tolerate the incongruity and the enjoyment of ownership would be gone.

    • @fernandofragoso4118
      @fernandofragoso4118 Před 6 lety +5

      atl3630 Totally agree. I have the desire but its not a very usable car on the road. On public roads the best space to put all the power down is on highways, but then other problem comes in, highways are not twisty roads nor tracks. Its always long wide corners, not a big variety of corners like most of us like... These cars are getting very overpowered to be explored.
      In some ways what i feel is that the cars are much safer on one side, but on the other are much faster, so i guess we're coming back to the oldschool balance in terms of safety.
      People wont die from crash at 60kmh anymore. Now die from crashes at 160kmh and above, not generally speaking of course.

However, you get out thinking..well I could buy/build a track car for 35k, a converible for 30k, and a -> b for 45k, and still have tons of money left over, and get the same driving experience and more flexibility.

The entire town is Ferrari and yet, just a 1/2 hour away, Sant'Agata Bolognese is all Lamborghini. These cars are fantasies come true so I agree, if you lived your fantasy everyday it might just get boring. Thank goodness for rich people buying these but at my level... I'd rather have a house. :)

    I was at the Ferrari dealership today looking at the 488 GTB and the spider. It's a beautiful sport car, the design is a work of art. I have a GT3RS, and I found the Ferrari is more exotic with state of art engineering from Ferrari. What a machine!

    • @fernandofragoso4118
      @fernandofragoso4118 Před 6 lety

      savagegeese I guess that the 488 Pista is more into that hardcore type of driving that we find on the GT3RS. Havent drove the 488 but as i saw in some reviews including yours, its seems a well refined sport drivers car but not an hardcore experience. I guess the 488 Pista is the answer to that compromise.

    This is why if I was buying a new supersport motorcycle these days, it would be a 300cc. Maximum revving fun anywhere. (Although the vibration and rough engine sound might bother me a bit.) It would also be super-affordable compared to a 600, and a 125 would be stupid compared to it because not that cheaper.

    Love your commentary and perspective. Also wondering whether you should blank out the speedo in your videos...
