2012 Ferrari 458 Spider - First Drive

[AcousticFolkFusion]

"Just feel the music".

Yeah. Maybe you could all buy music and then I could get a ferrari and listen to better music while I drive it! lol!!

[OvenBasics004]

@AcousticFolkFusion Good Music.

[Rosso456MGT]

What we are listening to is a total dumb ass rattling on over the pure music of a european thoroughbred engine.

No wonder they gave you their own promo video.

FAIL go back to push-rod engines and drag racing

[mech5422]

wtf where is the sound engine guys?

[anirban666]

most of this video is from the 458 spider promo vid by ferrari.  this is not a first drive..

[ukDUBSTEPchannel]

wow! the filming in this video is amazing!

[BassGod2271]

note how he talks about how it sounds but we hear music and no car....

[notbendable]

throw away 30% chassis stiffness... awesome

[alasdairgillis]

I just busted in my pants!

[WesamJounaid81]

Hello

[mrwazwaz456]

WHERE IS THIS ROAD????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Backstabbinbasterd]

@mrwazwaz456 heaven

[hamdanae12]

asian bro, stfu and let the engine do the talking...

[Hjerrick]

It doesn't sound nearly this good in the coup?

Never heard of a coup... at least not while describing a car. You do realize that the thing above the é doesn't silence the e. In fact, it does the opposite. Learn to pronounce a word before you utter it.

[Jaesango]

@Hjerrick

It's pronounced like that in American english. Can't necessarily blame him.

[Hjerrick]

@Jaesango I know. I guess I just think that if you say a word, you ought to pronounce it right.

In my ears at least, coup just sounds so shabby.

[Mryousef14]

ابغى وحدة :'(

[born4driving]

Are the all 458 italians have an raising roof?

[luxeaccommodations]

RENT / LUXEACCOMMODATIONS@GMAIL.COM

[MrMuscleMam1105]

I still like the Italia better

[themisiek2]

The guy is Asian and Asians don't do well with cars so this entire video was pointless.

[cavaleer]

@themisiek2 lol

[bmpraugusto]

does some one where did they shoot this????

i want to drive there

[Timx4]

10 an hour job won't be able to afford ferrar's tire :(

[Lolzilol123]

Nice review. So if you want the wind in your hair and to hear the sound of the exhaust better, you should get a CONVERTIBLE?! Wow, this is probably the most informative review I have ever been witness to.

[wolfxdizzyx]

this is a scammy load of bullshit..... great car but the review is a fake piece of shit.....

[SuperSixinches]

Why did they have a retarded person review it?

[WowzaBoyz]

what sound is he talking about turn that damn music off. unless that music is the actual engine, which would be pretty classy i guess

[KalEl600rr]

Wouldnt be a youtube video without people whining and bitching.

[aquosman99]

I wish it was possible to literally fornicate with this car

[Anoush13]

Talking over a Ferrari promo! Ha!

[TheBeaverguy21]

sun in your face , wind in your hair , 300 thousand dollars leaving your hand.

[ALTN8NRG]

@TheBeaverguy21 lol. yeah...300k in the wind. :)

[bballplaya123678]

WHERE IS THIS IN ITALY?

[oXe2]

1:37 might be just the most beautiful thing i've ever seen!

[MrPowerofWhite]

Quite honestly I can't think of a car more perfect than the 458 Spider. Considering the 458 Italia is one of the best looking cars of all time, and a hell of a performance car. Not to mention now you can drop the roof and only lose a slight bit of performance, but trade that off for a never ending sky, fresh air, and a whole new feeling of driving. To me that sounds like the ideal car, makes it even better that it's a hardtop, making it even better when weather conditions aren't ideal.

[Mazdaspeed13B]

VO on Ferrari b-roll? 

[GregTGolden]

Oh god, what was Ferrari thinking? They let that Asian drive a Ferrari....that is the craziest thing I've seen all day.

[SummerTheFuzzy]

I'm sorry, this isnt a first drive. You talk over a ferrari promo video, they didnt even let this goofball take the car out of the parking lot

[j89808]

@SummerTheFuzzy course, hes asian

[MsAndres3468]

mom take me to ittliy and buy me tht car

[youngmin47]

I really like the car, but that's about all for this video...

[inicoik]

what about the california as the first hard top convertible?

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

@inicoik First Mid-engine

[Leonidae]

@inicoik First hard top convertible? California? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Take a look at Peugeot 206cc, M-B R170 SLK.. Nissan Micra CC.. etc etc..

[inicoik]

@Leonidae Sorry if you misunderstood, I was referring to Ferraris, not other brands

[Leonidae]

@inicoik Ah, in that case, allow me to point you towards Ferrari 575 Superamerica.

[SummerTheFuzzy]

@inicoik its a GT, not mid engine

[thunderbirdthang11]

Loh is a terrible commentator. There's no emotion in his voice at all...

[JOHNBRANSKI100]

looks like a Fiat Dino.

[hotandspicy666]

Great scenery...and that bridge at the end...wow.

[JesseAndMike]

Nice looking car! :D

[salhabit]

Which country is that ? And we're

[squidGTC]

@salhabit Liguria, cinque terre

[salhabit]

Which country is that ? And we're

[hellboy29999]

lol all i can do is buy a dodge :P :( but it's ok i don't need to be rich i'm a life :P and thanks god for giving me this life :P

[Zigpoint1]

I wonder where they were test driving this at in the video?? Anybody have any ideas from the Ariel views??

[hilariobeilfuss]

@Zigpoint1 Greece I think

[MrJason12349]

The Ferrari's engine is so good when he says, "What you're listening to is the Spider's 557 horsepower, 4.5 liter V8 blow through the gears of it's 7-speed, dual clutch transmission" all we hear is an angelic choir.

[OregonChronic]

Dear Santa....

[TheCruizer]

Did he actually drive this car more than 5 meters??????

[swiftg87]

someone needs to tell this dude SHUT THE FUCK UP... let me listen to the engine.

[jjpg2000]

@swiftg87 I agree he's talking about "this sound in your ears", whitest talking over it the entire time. Give us a copy of the video without the voice over.

[AntDX316]

@swiftg87 yo, I need the intelligence

[ForeverFlame88]

@swiftg87 Fuck u ! I want 2 kill u! Subscribe! :)

[TopherIsDaMan]

Im a porsche fan all the way but that car is so beast as a convertible

[athan4australia]

OMG AHHHHHHH

[lrecollet]

if this guy would shut up while the ferrari is rippin thru the gears, this would one of the most best videos.. ever..

[CPblack20]

WHY EM I WATCHING THIS IM BROKE

[thegurusx]

mesmerizing

[shobin05]

@thegurusx unbelievably, mesmerizingly, brilliant

[DidItForebode]

One of the best looking cars of all time, without doubt.

[luis61961944]

@DidItForebode agree 100%

[GiveMeABloodyUser]

557 ? i didnt knew that

[jpzhouutube]

love the ferrari. my video far better:

/watch?v=XI2UT1Xfefw

[nicolaz1357]

557 HP ??....WTF?

[saturnsolar]

...the sound at 1:32...wow!

[aviftw]

This vid is waaay to damn short! ;)

[ManULover07]

this guy doesnt pause when he needs to

[Polarisboobs]

Its an easy way for someone to steal it. just press a button and your gone!

[barebodkin]

It'll do.

[pacman385]

So motortrend is putting videos up of luxury cars being tested on a track and a performance car being tested on ordinary roads? F-cking retards

[SaaD8011]

I love my Staaaaang :"(

[BIOHAZARD9519]

I only care about that SCENERY!

[jasethevase]

i don't get the point of the ramp at 1:37 but that doesn't matter this car is amazing. the engine turns me on

[PopgunMcGee]

I could listen to that thing all day.

[Nihsel101]

i can def destroy this ferrari in a drag race with a 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. lol

[jmichael1holmes]

@Nihsel101 noooooo you can destroy a ferrar california!, not the italia!!

[Nihsel101]

@jmichael1holmes youtube 2010 cadillac CTS-V vs Ferrari 458 you will be surprised.

[nimlil]

@Nihsel101 The CTS V is about a second slower in the 1/4 mile...

[Nihsel101]

@nimlil still doesn't make a difference but the CTS-v will reach top speed faster than the 458.

[nimlil]

@Nihsel101 Maybe if it was a Hennessey, not withstanding the odd amature race on Utube, it takes the ZR1 to run with the 458. The 458 is running at almost 130 mph in 11 sec and tops out around 201-203. CTS V is only doing around 115 mph after 12.5 and tops out at 190-191, less if it's an auto. Still an awesome car that I would recommend to anyone. Bang for the buck, take the ZR1. If you have kids, the CTS V is a great car. true exotic, can't go wrong with the Ferrari.

[Nihsel101]

@nimlil you are right. thats just me. i am not a fan of ferraris because i always think that only uptight rich guys with lousy toupee looking hair drive those cars. i am leaning toward more of Lamborghini which i find is a little more elegant. eventually soon, the CTSV will surpass the 458.

[Canaduke]

@Nihsel101 You may be right about uptight rich guys driving ferrari's but young douchebags with too much money and not enough sense tend to drive gaudy lambos.... count me in on the uptight rich guy team.

[Nihsel101]

@Canaduke haha yeah young douchebags that spend money recklessly on gaudy looking thing really does piss people off and tarnish the name of other rich people. a car should have some meaning to you as a person and has a personality that matches yours. it shouldn't be driven just to showoff people and make people jealous. i like cars because the way they are made and what it feels like driving one.

[nimlil]

@Nihsel101 Everyone should have thier favorites be it Ferrari, Lambo's or Vettes. Unfortunatly most times it's the owners that give good cars a bad image.

[an50331]

autocar has a real review

[GOOEYMONTER]

DAMN SEXY

[mkenpontiac]

Well, even if it is promo video footage, the scenery is absolutely stunning. I'd like to drive that road someday & I would say wether or not it's practical the car is a beautiful work of art & engineering!!!

[kirk0respite]

the 458 spider is probably the best looking convertible ferrari since the 360 spider this is beautiful! it looks so much better than the itaila i cant believe it

[droppinsumfudge]

i have some advise for you assholes over at motortrend... how about not calling it "first drive" in the title?

[CAJFB]

Where is this taking place??!!Because I think I want to take my bikes there...........I love my 1098!

[noobasdfjkl]

i don't understand how you people can make sub 2 minute videos about italian supercars.

[Nihsel101]

i would rather have a cadillac cts-v that has 556 hp, can seat 4 people, and cheaper than this ferrari.

[SuperchargedMind]

All of the footage is from Ferrari's own promo video. Wtf??

[QAdeputy]

Good review but too short

[theguynumber9]

Motor trend is stepping up their videos, holy crap im impressd for once

[0mega101]

Far better than Ferrari California, this easily best hard top car out there.

[enemay]

Just shut up and let us hear the car

[OneOfaKind949]

Italians make some of the worlds most unreliable cars...

[swimmersgolonger]

@OneOfaKind949 And everyone still wants one...

[corbelius6]

Music! Sweet Music!!!

[K1rtn]

erm what sound, just some crap music in the background

[SilvrBckGorilla]

these scenes are from ferrari's official video

[MrTakaMOSHi]

If you watch it while wearing headphones (as I did) your right ear will be infinitely jealous of your left

[dirtISgood48]

that was beautiful......

[sonicyahoo]

i didnt ask him why he was just standing, did any of you?

[mattybumpo68]

30% loss in structural rigidity, 100lbs heavier, and 0.5s behind the italia? man this thing is a soft, fat, slow pig. what a piece of garbage.

[identiti69]

anyone know where that road is exactly? looks awesome



[coolguy10060]

@identiti69 I think I know whre that road is the laST PART @1:36 I think that was the road when you exit the great sint bernard tunnel when you enter italy trough switzerland the road in switzerland towards the great sint bernard is also pretty nice a lot of hairpins hoped I helped :)

[jpracingph]

About the only thing motor trend owns in that film is the first 24 seconds.

[kkkjamkkkjamkkk]

im pretty sure you guys dont own all that footage. that looks like ferrari's handy work. c'mon guys give credit where its due.

[TomW545]

The footage is from ferraris commercial trailer of the car. Don't give motortrend credit for it, just saying..

[HoosierHacker]

INCREDIBLY good filming!!! 

[markoloko1000]

but if you like to pick tons of girls and screw them everyday, there just isn't any better....

[yadavkrishna11]

Very Nicely shot Video...

[AdrianC12345]

You guys do realise that MT didn't film this amazing video right?

[TheLostSurveyor]

Waaay too short of a video! I could have listened to that engine all day!

[loudblazer]

thats b/c they didnt film it, haha.

[aagtace]

Why would they even bother putting a radio in this car?

[loudblazer]

@aagtace b/c its a car that people drive not just on a track, you cant hear the engine at 9000 in traffic, so its nice to listen to something. If they make a 458 challenge, scuderia, or whatever it might be called i would say leave the radio out of that.

[BakkBru]

what an achievement

[GreenOatmeal]

Oh baby...

[Hummerfan87]

I just had an eargasm!

[vk45de]

So how's this different from an advertisement?

[raretrick]

motortrend didn't film any of this after the 0:27 mark

[will122391]

If I want that sound, I'll roll my windows down. People should be able to see the engine.

[stupidlambo]

this vid would be so much better if he just shut up

[pasley21]

Going to be hard to justify buying a California now

[HowManyCupHolders]

@pasley21 True, unless you just really really want to buy a maserati granturismo conv. but you feel like spending more money on it... god, ur right.

[aqwayne]

looks like a bloody movie, will not be surprised if Ferrari just cut this video up for an ad for the car well done!

[J3tal]

Such an epic road whatever part of Italy that is...

[trlalli92]

@J3tal looks kinda like the amalfi coast but idkfs

[OneGuitarGuy]

Well for half a second slower but the noise and feel of the engine that much louder...lemme see...*checks bank account* nope still cant afford it.

[footballfan190]

27 people are civic drivers

[griosss]

INSANE filming

[MichaelMellijor]

eitherway a ferrari, lamborghini, bugatti, or a pagani, chick will cum on you!

[Derail07]

Cool a car less than 1% of the population can afford…

[tonysoprano9417]

Most part from this video are from this:

watch?v=aiq9rLw11I4&feature=re­lated

[tocaracer06]

What part of Italy was this filmed? Reminds me ALOT of the Almalfi coast

[aallppiinnee]

LOL you're a fool if you think this is motortrend's footage.

[austinroha77]

@aallppiinnee hes the editor of motortrend haha

[19592000]

@ilikefastcars65 that would be mainly because its not, well the first part with the blah blah blah lets go for a drive everything after that is just Ferarri offical video from the press launch.

[TwinTurbo916]

They used the filming of the 458 Spider Official video.

[GOINFINITI]

Fantastic review!

[swollpatroljg]

why is there an ignition key hole and a push to start button?

[Illmatic662]

Love the way this video ended....

[cb7pwn]

...its 562 hp. motortrend..

[ilangsfs]

Less talky/gay music and more of the symphony behind the seats!

[Thepyawkt]

Wonderful car, terrible review. Using canned footage - they should be ashamed!

[Su5pecT]

can we have the same exact video without the commentating? Without the soft music in the background and with more driving?

[craig1h]

Ugly as a spyder and no glass window sad not to see the motor.

[eternallynemesis]

Love it! Want one!

[enaicee]

blah blah blah, more V8 italiano orchestra, por favor!

[geforce5700fx]

CarGasm ?

[duvanotus]

@geforce5700fx hahahahaha yes XD

[robfrmny21]

Just shows u whos biased

[08davidcregan1]

its called winding down the window

[az1trey]

nice pants. might want to chill out with the high heat cycle in the dryer

[patatasete]

This is Ferrari fooatge and not motortrend ! What's the point ? If you drove it, show your footage !

[nexorabolis]

Ah man.. That car is just beautiful. And I don't know if I've ever heard a more majestic sounding engine. Ferrari just hit the bullseye with this car.
