Ferraris are like hand crafted sculptures, Lamborghinis are like they've been hacked by an axe. Both good looking but Ferrari can be appreciated more. Ferrari always.
i saw a yellow 355 today on the highway. stopped at a stoplight next to it and waved at the driver and his passenger. needles to say i got some wierd looks because man does this car look amazing!
also my friends dad has one of these in yellow and it is a convertable and its awsome
Yeah im sick of paddle shift already. It wouldnt have been an issue if they had a manual stick shift option. And I believe the 458 comes only with dual clutch. Gone are the days of raw Ferraris like this 355, a true driver's car. The 458 is a great looking car though and it sound is the best I've heard since the 355. Just saw one the other day and its got the throathy treble of the 355 mixed with the bass of the 430. But still they are nothing like the supercars of the 90s
Why doesn't he look at the Ferrari 550 Maranello in this video? The F355 was the entry-level Ferrari, surely it wasn't quite as awesome as the 550? (or was the 512 the big Ferrari when this video was made?)
@Janusha The 612 is the successor to the 456 and 400, the four seat grand tourer Ferrari. The 550 was faster and more expensive than the 355 (which was course a fast and expensive car anyway)
Well.. that depends if were talking top speeds or around a track. The 355 was quite obviously the fastest and best Ferrari at the time possibly with the exception of top speeds which Ferrari is refreshingly disconcerned with..
The greatest car.... in the world, ever... according to Jeremy Clarkson in 1996. But the next year he probably changed his mind, as he does quite often. And as stunning as the 355 is, the E-Type is still better looking.
oh my lord...... STILL TO THIS DAY (IMO), THE best looking, and one of the best sounding cars, of all time....... the 355 targa will be a high water mark in my mind, till the day I die, and beyond.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@eeeen321 ...how is this junk the best looking car ever ?? u must be on crack or something when typing that !! the ferrari 458 italia is much much more better looking than this piece of junk no offense . i prefer newer cars than older cars so ferrari 458 italia FTW!!!
@lolNEED55 the same EXACT thing could be asked of you, the EXACT thing! Are you on "crack" or something?
The 458 is massively sophisticated as far as performance goes, opinions don't matter with performance figures, the 458 owns the 355, which is why I specifically avoided "performance" figures.
I think the 355 targa is STILL the best looking Ferrari after all these years, and the sound it makes will never be forgotten. In 20 years, will the 458 be held as high as the 355 is now-a-days?
@eeeen321 ..hahah nope I'm perfectly fine and sober xD anyway i totally disagree on what you have said about the ferrari 355 being the " best looking Ferrari after all these years " which is just down to people 's opinion in that case you prefer older and uglier car than newer and " beast " looking car as a taste ?? So for me the Ferrari 458 italia beats the ferrari i 355 in terms of looks!!! HANDS DOWN!! Likewise many people would agree to my opinion to !! :) Peace mate xD

lol, your opinion means what? To who? Not I. Again, the SAME thing could be asked of you once again.
I don't give one shit what anyone says on the looks or sound, because they are based on personal taste, and since I have heard multiple examples of both engines at WOT, I am not basing this on what I hear through speakers.
I never said anything negative about the 458, grow up child.
"In 20 years, will the 458 be held as high as the 355 is now-a-days?"
@eeeen321 ..My opinion ON the ferrari 458 italia being the better looking car than its "ancestor " the ferrari 355 . Well I'm not saying the ferrari 355 is a total "garbage " car but just ain't as great looking and "beastly " as the ferrrari 458 italia .But hey that 's just my personal opinion and taste which you probably disagree but again hey i respect other 's people opinion and taste and freedom speech so yea ! Hope you respect mine as well!! :) Peace mate xD
@lolNEED55 Then you should re-read some of your over-opinionated comments before continuing?
When was the last time you heard both in the same day at WOT? Both are killer, but labeling either as "ugly" or "junk" is ignorant, not opinion. YOU are the only one who typed "garbage", so why quote?
I never said anything negative about the 458, because I am not a fan girl ignorantly talking trash, the 458 is awesome; I simply asked, in 20 years, will the 458 be held as high as the 355 is today?
Man I agree with you! I know the 355 isn't as fast as the newer 360, f430, and the now awesome 458, but it is still on of my favorites! The best part is that I can actually aford one in the future! A 50k dollar car is not out of my reach, and most 355's have low miles! Makes me smile!
If environmentalists want to help the planet they should make some soup and give it to the homeless and stop worrying about what cars we're driving about in. Smacks of jealousy to me.
That road he's on... is that the same road that they later "discovered" to be the best in the world when they ran around Europe in the Superleggera, GT3RS, and Aston?
i dont just meen thte italia i meen every thing btw the i adore the 458 i love it but the twin turbo porsche 911 is faster to 60 but it does need better handling and to proove my point well crap i cant post links on this ill send you and email
its sad really how sociaty isnt into making thing better 90s super cars are just as fast as the ones int he 21st centre the reason for this god fucking damn eco crap and regulations safty bull shit wtf are airbags going to do if u crash going 180mph no fucking thing. or TC thats bullshit to i really want to have the good ol super car back for me ferrari f40 is the best wats wrong with making a car faster with turbos all super cars to day are NA thats bull shit

Still one of the best Ferraris ever. Also and incredibly important model for Ferrari as a manafacturer. Before it several other manafacturers had overtaken them in performance and technology (not to mention quality), but with the F355 Ferrari regained the throne.
The downside was it made Ferraris own "top model" the 512TR appear ancient by comparison.
ew rattlesnake... worst track. I get scared everytime I see this car take a 180 degree turn because those side panels are so beautiful. Not sure if i'd own one because i'd never leave my garage simply staring at it, scared to leave its side... sounds like utopia to me.
The only Ferrari I'd ever want to own...a hardtop 355! So what is the f430 and the new 458 are faster, and cleverer they're way to flashy and showy. The 355 is a great car that doesn't brag about it
I really like Clarkson's hairs, his style and his wardrobes in the 90s.... the best motoring journalist ever.. and as for the 355, I think it's arguably the better looking ones compared to the more contemporary 360s or F430s. God it's good.
I wonder if Clarkson had a choice between a Ferrari 355 or a Ford GT what he would chose? Cause back then the 355 was his car of choice now its the Ford GT.
My childhood dream car and still is. It may not be the best sports car of all time but It's one of the best and probably the best Ferrari of all time. After the 355, everything went all technology and showcase for Ferrari w/ the exception of the 612 which is the only ferrari as of now to have 4 seats and how it doesn't look that much flashy.
The new 458 Italia is a gorgeous car but I would choose the 355 over the new 458. Technology isn't everything.
Yeah! if I had the money, I would own both. Weirdly, the three exhausts and the instrument panels on the dash is what attracted me the most in the 458. I'd take the 458 to work everyday and the 355 for the weekends because for me, it's a special car.
458, 612 Scaglietti and 355 are the only Ferraris I would dream of owning.
Yeah. It ain't a Porsche but I'd drive it as much as It can. I wouldn't really waste such thing by displaying it in the driveway. Well there is still the 612 Scaglietti or the cheaper alternative which is the Maserati Granturismo or the still cheaper but more practical Quattroporte ;D
Well the Quattroporte, Granturismo and 612 Scaglietti have 4 seats with enough legroom for an adult, they also have a big enough luggage space so they're pretty much a practical choice though you'd have to get used to flappy paddles.
But as all sports cars go, they're not exactly built for Practicality but if it's the closest thing to a Practical car then why bother choose a plain Practical car.
But since we're talking about Sports cars, I don't think the person who owns one would bother as he/she can buy both a Practical Family car and a Sports car.
ur dumb 612 whats wrong with you if I had three choices of a Ferrari I would chose a F40, 71' P4, and a f430 Scudiria (just to have at least one newer model) mmmmmmmm tasteful :)
I'm not really a Ferrari fan in fact, I'd prefer a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 over a 430 Scuderia but they make cars that are waaaay more than anything else I can prefer to like the new 458 Italia which I'd choose over a Lamborghini LP560.
I know the 612 isn't much compared to what you've mentioned since all of those are Iconic Ferraris but I that's the reason why I like it. I like the fact that it's understated compared to others but just as good and it's much more simple as well.
He probably only owns 2 cars. He sold the 355 and bought a 360. Then he bought a GT Ford and gave it back to Ford for a full refund after a month. He bought the GT back again but sold it to buy a Gallardo Spyder in 2006. He sold that in 2008 and now has his third Volvo XC90 ... he probably still has a Mondeo as well. He doesnt need much else. He can call and have whatever he wants delivered to his house for testing, whenever he wants it.
brutedude1 - Actually, he sold it for a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder after the GT's endless faults.
The Ferrari is a mid-late 90's sports car with a 3.5L V8. The Ford is a modern car with a 5.4L supercharged V8.
Yet, with all the GT's new technology and massively larger engine it's only a second faster to 0-60mph. It would be surprising if the Ford was slower but there still are some 90's cars which are faster (Mac F1 and Jag XJ220 to name a few).
Nothing stays the best. Look at the Dino! You could have bought a nice one for $5,000 USD in the '70's. The F355 and esp. the '99 F1 355 (spyder) in Rosso Red/ Tan int. is just a dream. Even if it is thrown out with yesterdays trash will come back in the recycle door. Mark my words, I have been around long enough to know.....
Like Jeremy and any motor-head with a brain knows, Ferrari is second to non. and for you Lambo guys, I will give you an on par.
im just an average joe i been very fortunate to drive 1 i was in love before i drove it i was in heaven when i got out it's just amazing to think that you can buy 1 today for as little as £37'000 but these are sure future classic's so the price is only going to up but i will own 1 one day that's a promise ive made to myself.
Ah the good old 90s where supercars were smiled upon and look how happy jeremy is. anybody that has seen his v12 vantage review now realizes that cars that give happiness are soon to be a thing of the past.
@desimunda116 It is unfortunate, yet true. Vehicles we loved back then are still prominent, but their numbers are thinning .And now days, with all of the Eco madness, the classic cars in some eyes are obsolete and pollute our planet. I say fuck them =D let people enjoy cars that were good, and still are.
@lawnkit22 I think of it this way: it's probably less environmentally damaging to drive a nice old car for the remainder of its useful life, even if it runs on spotted owls and creosote, than it is to build a new Tupperware econobox car and run it until the computer dies. Screw obsolescence!
@desimunda116 Try driving a Renaultsport Clio 200 if you think cars that give happiness are gone. It's a £17,000 car, and you will not stop smiling for a second if you drive one.
@Skylur45 unfortunately in the states we don't get renault but i'm no denying it as a car because i've seen reviews and from what i've seen its pretty good. I have a Civic Si and it didn't cost much, but its nothing but fun. I got the independent rear suspension and limited slip differential so its great in the corners and it picks up well reving magically all the way to 8000 rpm
@desimunda116 I test drove a 2009 Civic Type right after the Clio and absolutely loved it. If you enjoy the high revving Vtec engine in your Civic, you'd love a Clio 200.
Didn't he say the F40 was the best ever?

Still one of the best Ferraris ever. Also and incredibly important model for Ferrari as a manafacturer. Before it several other manafacturers had overtaken them in performance and technology (not to mention quality), but with the F355 Ferrari regained the throne.
The downside was it made Ferraris own "top model" the 512TR appear ancient by comparison.

ew rattlesnake... worst track. I get scared everytime I see this car take a 180 degree turn because those side panels are so beautiful. Not sure if i'd own one because i'd never leave my garage simply staring at it, scared to leave its side... sounds like utopia to me.

It's not an overdone, or underdone, Ferrari. It looks driveable, and not too excessive.
It has a good engine too. It has a small liter, V8 - sounds sweet.
Big liter V8's sound like crap.

I really like Clarkson's hairs, his style and his wardrobes in the 90s.... the best motoring journalist ever.. and as for the 355, I think it's arguably the better looking ones compared to the more contemporary 360s or F430s. God it's good.

Gedutisca18det 2 years ago
My childhood dream car and still is. It may not be the best sports car of all time but It's one of the best and probably the best Ferrari of all time. After the 355, everything went all technology and showcase for Ferrari w/ the exception of the 612 which is the only ferrari as of now to have 4 seats and how it doesn't look that much flashy.
The new 458 Italia is a gorgeous car but I would choose the 355 over the new 458. Technology isn't everything.
mondeost2202008 2 years ago
If i could, i would get both haha. The 355 though i would keep forever.
engared 2 years ago
Yeah! if I had the money, I would own both. Weirdly, the three exhausts and the instrument panels on the dash is what attracted me the most in the 458. I'd take the 458 to work everyday and the 355 for the weekends because for me, it's a special car.
458, 612 Scaglietti and 355 are the only Ferraris I would dream of owning.
mondeost2202008 2 years ago
i don't think the 458 is much of a work car though :). Getting that stuck in traffic everyday would give me the fits.
engared 2 years ago
Yeah. It ain't a Porsche but I'd drive it as much as It can. I wouldn't really waste such thing by displaying it in the driveway. Well there is still the 612 Scaglietti or the cheaper alternative which is the Maserati Granturismo or the still cheaper but more practical Quattroporte ;D
mondeost2202008 2 years ago
Still both are too impractical for true everyday use. Sadly:( I want both too though lol.
engared 2 years ago
Well the Quattroporte, Granturismo and 612 Scaglietti have 4 seats with enough legroom for an adult, they also have a big enough luggage space so they're pretty much a practical choice though you'd have to get used to flappy paddles.
But as all sports cars go, they're not exactly built for Practicality but if it's the closest thing to a Practical car then why bother choose a plain Practical car.
mondeost2202008 2 years ago
But since we're talking about Sports cars, I don't think the person who owns one would bother as he/she can buy both a Practical Family car and a Sports car.
mondeost2202008 2 years ago
ur dumb 612 whats wrong with you if I had three choices of a Ferrari I would chose a F40, 71' P4, and a f430 Scudiria (just to have at least one newer model) mmmmmmmm tasteful :)
Cole112986 2 years ago
I'm not really a Ferrari fan in fact, I'd prefer a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 over a 430 Scuderia but they make cars that are waaaay more than anything else I can prefer to like the new 458 Italia which I'd choose over a Lamborghini LP560.
I know the 612 isn't much compared to what you've mentioned since all of those are Iconic Ferraris but I that's the reason why I like it. I like the fact that it's understated compared to others but just as good and it's much more simple as well.

He probably only owns 2 cars. He sold the 355 and bought a 360. Then he bought a GT Ford and gave it back to Ford for a full refund after a month. He bought the GT back again but sold it to buy a Gallardo Spyder in 2006. He sold that in 2008 and now has his third Volvo XC90 ... he probably still has a Mondeo as well. He doesnt need much else. He can call and have whatever he wants delivered to his house for testing, whenever he wants it.

brutedude1 - Actually, he sold it for a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder after the GT's endless faults.
The Ferrari is a mid-late 90's sports car with a 3.5L V8. The Ford is a modern car with a 5.4L supercharged V8.
Yet, with all the GT's new technology and massively larger engine it's only a second faster to 0-60mph. It would be surprising if the Ford was slower but there still are some 90's cars which are faster (Mac F1 and Jag XJ220 to name a few).

Nothing stays the best. Look at the Dino! You could have bought a nice one for $5,000 USD in the '70's. The F355 and esp. the '99 F1 355 (spyder) in Rosso Red/ Tan int. is just a dream. Even if it is thrown out with yesterdays trash will come back in the recycle door. Mark my words, I have been around long enough to know.....
Like Jeremy and any motor-head with a brain knows, Ferrari is second to non. and for you Lambo guys, I will give you an on par.

@desimunda116 It is unfortunate, yet true. Vehicles we loved back then are still prominent, but their numbers are thinning .And now days, with all of the Eco madness, the classic cars in some eyes are obsolete and pollute our planet. I say fuck them =D let people enjoy cars that were good, and still are.

@lawnkit22 I think of it this way: it's probably less environmentally damaging to drive a nice old car for the remainder of its useful life, even if it runs on spotted owls and creosote, than it is to build a new Tupperware econobox car and run it until the computer dies. Screw obsolescence!

@Skylur45 unfortunately in the states we don't get renault but i'm no denying it as a car because i've seen reviews and from what i've seen its pretty good. I have a Civic Si and it didn't cost much, but its nothing but fun. I got the independent rear suspension and limited slip differential so its great in the corners and it picks up well reving magically all the way to 8000 rpm

But i don't reckon the F430 has nearly as much soul or passion or flare or style as the 355, or the F40, or even the Testarossa.
The F430, the 612, the 599 and even the Enzo to an extent, are just science, and maths, and racing, and technology.

"I respect it enormously! in the same way i respected my old headmaster! ... bur we never became friends."
