Make no mistake, the GT-R is a pure-bred supercar in its own right, with its own share of technical prowess.

The 458 is simply stunning in every way, and what's more incredible about it is that it's only the "entry" level Ferrari which BTW now performs almost (a mere 0.5 sec @ Fiorano) as the "best" Ferrari from 8 years ago AKA Enzo,... so this is just a taste of what Ferrari is working on for the new Super Ferrari,... I cannot wait for it!

Sure, it probably won't beat the Bugatti SS on top speed, and I said probably,... but I think it definitely will be close to be as fast as the FXX around a track.

Not to be a fanboy but Ferrari's simply the most complete supercar maker in the world just as in my opinion BMW is the best car maker in the world (arguable but it's my opinion).

Definitely as fast as a FXX? Probably won't beat the Bugatti SS on top speed?

Ok its not gonna come close to an FXX, and it absolutely will NOT come close to a Bugatti SS's top speed. Come on now...surely you can't be serious.

At 05:58 you can see the speed on the left screen


Oh and it's "458" not "F458" just like the Enzo is called "Enzo Ferrari" instead of "Ferrari Enzo" or "F60" which are both wrong.

I like all Ferrari and dream to own one some day. I don't think Lexus can compare with Ferrari. People who bough Ferrari is not becuase of its reliability, it is because of the brand has unique meaning to all male on earth. It is the symble of all sport cars in all times. I just wanted one, period.

Yes I was,... no prob.

I just think the Enzo's replacement will be insane based on the performance figures of the entry level Ferrari.

watching it for the first time here at work, dont' have a sound card installed, but just by looking at the first 10 mins I can already see what Clarkson is gripping about the steering wheel interface and buttons. I miss the days prior to iDrive and cars telling me I need it serviced.

don't count on it Challenge Stradale will always retain value due to it's limited production. All limited prod. Ferraris retain value. I'm sad too, I love the CS.
