  • Ferrari makes amazing cars, this much is obvious. They are all fast, all good looking, ludicrously expensive, and sound brilliant, so if they are all great, is it possible to pick one out of the bunch? I'd say it is, and I'd say the answer is the Ferrari 458 Speciale. In this video, I explore why, with the owner, we go for a drive, and chat about ownership, and the car industry in general.

      Mid-engine V8 & front engine V12, can't say I disagree!

    Awesome video and a real driving enthusiast it seems. If the driver is serious about enjoying all the sounds, vibrations, and sweaty palms I would highly encourage him to buy a Gen 2 Viper that is properly sorted and maintained. Nothing has come close to visceral driving experience while still being quick enough to keep up with modern stuff. Forza Ferrari and Hell yeah Viper!

    Love the 458 Speciale, the 488 Pista is much more fun, more aggressive, has a different sound due to the turbos, but very good, at the limit with aids turned off it is one of the craziest cars of the last few decades! About the F40, I've been working with this type of car for over 15 years, and we've tested dozens of F40s, all of them have always had more power than declared by the factory, if they are 87 European ones, they have more than 600hp and are even lighter than declared. also!

    • @carcaveofficial
      @carcaveofficial  Před 27 dny

      I haven't driven a Pista before, but that would be a great car to test in the near future!
      As for the F40, I have never heard anything of the sort, to be making 600hp back then is unreal!

  • @ZondaF355

    458 is as close in a DCT to coming close to the almighty gated gearbox in a 355, F40 etc. F355 is beyond amazing to drive and makes all the F1 sounds while rowing gated gears. Ferrari is the best at judging and matching all components of the car.

    • @carcaveofficial
      @carcaveofficial  Před 6 dny

      I agree 100%, it is the only DCT car I have ever driven that gave me the same enjoyment as a traditional manual.

  • @christurton2128
    @christurton2128 Před měsícem +2

    Totally agree with the comment that the sound, the capability and the ease of being able to wring the 458's neck without crapping your pants is unbelievably easy. I drove one in 2015 and then a 488 later in 2020 and the 458 obliterated the 488 for visceral sound and amazing experience. The 488 sounded like it was gargling marbles. V8 NA all the way.

    Why do so many YT Channels dedicated to sharing exceptional vehicles with viewers only shoot video Facing the passengers vs out the windshield? I could care less about seeing the people - it’s ALL ABOUT WHAT THAT FEELING IS TO DRIVE IT WHICH IS BEST EXPERIENCED LOOKING OUT THE WINDSHIELD, not at You!

    • @carcaveofficial

      Because we are talking, it is more of an interview, but feedback noted, might look into getting some 'out-the-windshield' angles in the future.

      I have a soft spot for the F12, the La Ferrari is great, but I give points more for the 458 for being the platform from which the La Ferrari was built, and the F50 is stupendous...but I would struggle to call it modern....

      I think you will find that is not a Ferrari. It might have stolen a 458 engine for development, but as I said in the video, what makes a Ferrari great isn't just performance, sooooo I respectfully disagree. Great car, but not on the same level as the Speciale
