Looks like a very special car.

And what a great addition to the evo team having chris harris drive it...

 

[JT182]

Brilliant! The other video where he's driving it around Fiorano is good aswell. Amazing to see the difference that all of the electronic wizardry makes to his lap and then seeing how it reacts with everything turned off.

He's a very good driver. Entertaining too, used to love his videos with Autocar and Drivers Republic. The bit at the end of the track video made me laugh! ''F**k it! One more skid before we go...''!

 

[Ralphizzle]

Chris Harris FTW!!!

F458 = next Gen. Fewwawi...
They've done a good job @ Maranello.

 

[ForceIndia]

Yay, Monkey's back!

 

[superbenji88]

Cracking video, sounds ace when hooning it

 

[Vish]

Watched this yesterday, its amazing in every way.

Big price leap jump from the F430, and the nearly double the 360 of 10 years ago iirc.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Pooooooooooooooorn

 

[DMS]

I love the look of that. The exhaust tailpipes look awesome.

 

[jon_r]

Saw this yesterday. Great to have Monkey back!

 

[Kyle.]

Ooh a guy i know has ordered one!

 

[Ja5on]

stunning

 

[Addz]

stunning car, bit unusual looking but very futuristic

 

[Jonny Ingham]

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. :O
Sounds awesome but at about 5k wowwwwww!

 

[Naith]

errrm YES!

great review, and rediculously capable car

 

[bendee]

i think instead of channel 5 f**king 5th gear off they should of sacked the useless presenters and told chris harris to do what he wants, that imo would make a tv program worth watching. i say this as ive just watched the ferrari 458 launch vid with him in it.

 

[Ian_182]

Thats a good call..

 

[swirly182]

Even though I dislike the three exhausts (look odd imo) its stunning and looked amazing in the video.

+1 seems to know what he's talking about. The vid reminds me of original Top Gear back in the day when they did proper car reviews.

 

[Ian_182]

Harris is a great journo and gets a lot of credit for his work from all the top car mags.

A future tv presenter in the making i think...

 

[Seedy172]

Review, Good.
Car, Meh... Immense, but i'd still rather the Macca. I'll even wait!!

 

[Ian_182]

Yep,i cant wait to see the macca tbh...

 

[ForceIndia]

Anyone seen the vid of him spanking the 458 at Fiorano?
"f**k it, 1 last skid before we go!"

 

[TimR26]

Seen that, exactly what I'd do

 

[Josh220]

Brilliant.

Chris Harris is great too.

 

[Adz89]

The 458 looks to be a truly amazing car.

I'll be having one but will have to wait until it's 3-4 years old.

 

[ForceIndia]

Can't wait for the Macca/458 group test.

That's the problem i have with it. Too expensive.

 

[Justin]

Car is awesome!

 

[Jamie86]

Saw one of these on monday at maranello

Looks absoultely awesome in the flesh.. even if it was yellow

 

[ForceIndia]

That's the problem i have with it. Too expensive.

For the tech included, and the raw pace of the thing (faster than a 599 FFS), I think it's well priced.

 

[Seedy172]

599's a V12, No?

 

[ForceIndia]

599's a V12, No?

Yes.

I've seen a price list and with the car properly specced you're looking at around £180k ish

Considering my 360 Modena was £103k when new there is a big difference.

That's the nature of supercars though. The Macca will come in at a similar price point. And a 360 has very little of the tech that the 458 will include as standard (carbon ceramics, dct just for starters).

 

[Seedy172]

FLOL!!

Yep I agree about the tech. All the controls will be on the steering wheel etc.

Not interested in the McClaren i'm afraid

 

[ForceIndia]

I've no doubt the Macca will be great, but just seems a bit sterile? Tbf, nothing compares to a Ferrari imo.

Yeah the F's are very addictive.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

is it wrong that i dont like it?

 

[Seedy172]

No, it's pretty ugly.
