Top Gear reviews the Ferrari 458 Italia

[my74junker]

I love this new Ferrari I always thought they were too exotic and overpriced this car is lean and clean without all the outrageous "look at me" styling. Very sexy piece of mechanical art.

[Furdip]

I love the art and music of the beggining!!!

[espjuan]

Actually I disagree with this retard Jeremy. I think that this Ferrari is not getting prettier if not worse. The 458 is about function, the 430 was better looking, the 360 even better, the 355 the best of them all.

[r3dd3vil82]

@espjuan don't drink too much wine plz

[AC1583]

this is a very nice car. this will go down in ferrari's name and 20 years from now the top five names they will remeber ferrari by is 1.Enzo 2.Testerosa 3.Italia 4.GTO and 5. F40

[SeriousGamer2009]

@AC1583 Switch testerosa and Italia round and i agree =P

This car is probably the most beautiful supercar I have ever seen, and performance wise? Just look how it compares to the Enzo on the track! Simply astounding.

[Laterboy13]

Epic car. Deserves a place on my bedroom wall..

[MrZLeroy92]

I rather have a 599GTO if i were to buy a Ferrari.

[SeriousGamer2009]

@MrZLeroy92 You are crazy. Nuff said.

[1Reilly2Enns3]

I'm sure this, the Aston Martin DB9 and the Alfa Romeo 8c are Jeremy's favorites.

[giggles628000000]

i like the the idle sounds.  it like a big cat purring

[dbr712]

"F430 Speciali Needs"

[alharris777]

BADASS NOT REFLECTED

[phantom1622]

2 people own F430's

[tgamirov]

"a burning bear"? what a sick minded man...

[icedoutclk]

god i love british humor!

[MultiTopgearfan]

who were the two blind assholes that didnt like this video???!!!

[MultiTopgearfan]

@V12Carlucci lamborghini is just a fake and gay and useless imitation of Ferrari... Ferrari's an original legend... Lamborghini has tried to go against them and "replace" them in everyone's heart as the best supercar maker but that isnt the case everytime single time, now is it? EPIC FAIL = Lamborghini

[MultiTopgearfan]

just realised that the 458 hammered just about any other supercar there is on the leaderboard.... and its just as fast as an Enzo... cool!!! another reason why i should get 1 of these....

[POTATOESLOL]

@MultiTopgearfan Did you see that it was around the middle top section of the board?

A few faster cars are: Konigsegg CCXR, Bugatti Veyron, Bugatti Veyron SuperSport, Ariel Atom (yes, the one with only framework) and the LP-670-4 SV.

Merry Christmas.

[POTATOESLOL]

@POTATOESLOL SHIT! TAKE THE ATOM OFF THAT LIST!

[MultiTopgearfan]

i've watched this like 10 times and i'm STILL not bored of it...

[GR8F3]

im confused how do you say it four five eight Italia or four fifty eight Italia

[bmisiak14]

This is bar none, one of the best cars ever created. And its one of my top 3: Ferrari 458 Italia, Lamborghini SV, Porsche 911 GT2. And how can you not get goose bumps when Clarkson drove it around the track?

[MultiTopgearfan]

ahh!!!!!!!! i love this fucking car!!!!! i'd rather have sex with this than any pretty woman!!!

[Kiasko]

@MultiTopgearfan lol

[lewmando20]

This makes my hair stand on end.

[valacorp]

lucky it didnt burst into flames

[Caseybat94]

lol on the left screen, theres a speed indicator at the bottom....

[Caseybat94]

so if i get a racing wheel with a quick release hub? i cant start the engine??

[vvitorito]

And i Jizzed in my pants

[TheUberPlayboy]

458 FTW!

[petah00]

This car seriously trounced my expectations. I also love how Clarkson didn't mention his once favorite Ferarri 355 (meaning its a good Ferarri)....

But, will this 3042lb stallion have enough to fend off the 2866lb McClaren MP4-12C?

I don't think so!!! You got to love a primer Italian sports car, but I'm wondering if the English will beat this?

[DiarmaidGNR]

why do the lights flicker at the start?

[footballermaz]

The lamborghini lp550 beat the ferrari 458 italia in a drag race! LAMBORGHINI BABY!

[MultiTopgearfan]

@footballermaz so what? its only a f***ing drag race... if u ask everyone which is better, i bet 65% will say Ferrari 458...

[miksirikoitsen]

that car is all about sex!

[inventer007]

speed is on both screens left and right and indicators r usually turned on before u turn the steering wheel so i dont think its a problem

[717399]

Grazie ferrari un altro gioiello.

[habu9999]

song at 07:25?

[XBLJohnstOnse]

"i dont care if it bit off my leg" be careful what you wish for jezzy, 458's have the tendency to spontaneously combust.

[Folgore8585]

@XBLJohnstOnse Not anymore ..

[clocktower7]

Does anyone know what the intro Track is?? It finishes after the first 16 seconds. I love the Ferrari 458 Italia - Beautiful!

[alexhighflyer]

OVER 9000 !!!

[dkirek196]

hey he said u cant hav the speedometer and the gps at the same time. but doesnt the display screen on the right show u the speed ?

[XBLJohnstOnse]

@dkirek196 ya and if you toggle it, the gps shows up. you cant look at both at the same time.

[dkirek196]

@XBLJohnstOnse stop the vid at 5:57 . the gps is on the right display screen and on the left screen it tells him the speed. he's going 129 mph.

[XBLJohnstOnse]

@dkirek196 aahh i see it, good call.

[sigfurt]

most epic clarkson review ever

[maitenltda]

Absolutely !!

[TheNooll]

@sigfurt CLK 63 Black & Vantage V12 - they're most epic : )

[007theAlien]

I would buy one.....preferably one that does not catch on fire in traffic....

[VanHorstmann1990]

You can always see how fast you are going in the bottom of the left display...

[foxhounduk2k8]

"it sounds like a bear...a burning bear!"

[genevievegalano]

it is beautiful and i want to see to challenge it to audi r8 supercharge! i think its a match race!

[smitman55678]

rofl "Speciale...needs!"

[XxNaSaHxX]

Also, I don't understand why anyone would indicate after turning their wheel? Defeats the whole purpose of having an indicator in the first place if you're already turned the wheel 180^ :|

[ZyklonB95]

@XxNaSaHxX

Not all intersections or turns occur on straight roads. What if you are going around a curve that has a road turn off through it? Quite common.

[XxNaSaHxX]

what the hell is Clarkson talking about, he's going 135MPH, it says it on the left screen :/

[8CaRs8CaRs8]

@XxNaSaHxX 133 MPH

[cutworm87]

Doesnt he see the MPH readout on the screen he said "is full of things he isnt interestd in"?

[hsew]

transcribed audio is epic.

[thalles5]

Jeremy needs to shut up. lol. making me mad knowing I'm a F430 lover. I just can't really embrace the 458 as the successor of the F430. it just seems like a whole new line.

[TheNooll]

I dont know how he drives while being blind because small digital speedometer is being displayed on left LCD

[mobius7548]

@TheNooll Yes Yes! exactly, he prolly didn't think ppl would notice, but it took me 30 seconds with the car to figure out, too bad I didn't have much longer to sit in it >_<

[MrUpgraydde]

Hammond has hair like a dickhead

[Slowshyy]

@MrUpgraydde Just like yourself - a dickhead.

[MrUpgraydde]

@Slowshyy Ouch, someone didn't get the joke.

[Slowshyy]

@MrUpgraydde Oh I got it, and was appauled.

[doodles0810]

Awwww poor James, they're just so mean to him. That must also be the reason behind; "The Fezza is having a rattly suspension arm attended to." as he mentioned in his last week's column.

[robizzle8]

simply amazing
