Fernando Alonso drives Ferrari 458 Spider 

From an F1 car to the 458 that thing must feel like driving a prius

being an f1 driver for ferrari would be great because if you ever got pulled over in italy youd be off the hook every time!

his enthusiasm is like my enthusiasm when driving a corolla

for f1 drivers like alonso the 458 is a transport, he's so acostumated to f1 that the experience of driving fast cars like the 458 is fun to him just not as godly for us mortals.

Yeah thanks for that. Did not actually know that. Thanks for the fill in tho

what a sound!!!

Wooaah! That's pretty fast!! Great noise as well!!

incredible editing :)

0:55 alonso using every bit of the road.

i love that spider and the engine

I love this car, and I've always been partial to Ferrari. I believe Ferrari builds the absolute best cars on the roads. But IMO nothing is more beautiful than a 599 or 599xx...incredibly beautiful machines.

That is a beautiful machine it has a wicked purr.

fernando the best f1 driver ever!!!

Awesome sound, that camera man must be in heaven.

Is 458 stands for 4.5 liter and V8 Engine??? If that so, what about the 599???

The spider is so sexi. and the exhaust note.. WOW!!!

dude the sound is amazing... they rev so high

The best video ever.

so was that a test drive or the ride after purchase ?

Man that's a gorgeous car! I want one!!!

A very nice and generous owner let me sit in his today. It is one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen. Especially because Im only 16. Simple acts of kindness can really change a lot about how you see things. I watch this car on tv and think "damn id love to see one of those one day." But tonight, some random ass man that I've never met asked me why I'm so close to his car. My response is simply "I love everything about it." My mind was blown tonight. You can see by how much I'm rambling.

Thats a Juicy Colour.

Wooow. What a sound! Just incredible. Be in ferrari has advantages...

Maestro at work 😂😂😂

Hello Sir which Ferrari u want to drive today?

did they have to make such a pretty car?? i saw it in black color this summer in Corfu island...just in love since then!!!!

Yeah, I think I heard someone say that they would produce only 599 of it??? Sounds familiar to you???

Que lindo trabajar en Ferrari y manejar esos Autozos😎👏🏼👏🏼

OMFG that sound

iLike The Roof Transition Quick And Simple

What are you even talking about? The volume wasn't too high nor low and if it was, adjust the volume on your computer or player. He captured lots of good car sounds in the video; hope you didn't want some cheesy music in the background or a sports car driving video.

incredible driver

I wanna see him driving his kids to school.... best dad ever

Does this guy know what he doing? Look at that steering input. Out of control :)....I like it!!! But why is the camera guy in the mirror at the end?

Looks awesome in yellow!

the best pilot and the best car...Ferrari il mio credo, Alonso il mio dio

Great video but was it edited by someone with turrets?

@black8910 : Aha bullseye ! ;) Interesting cameo and definitely a BALD move for a 'pro' cameraman :p

@tecedas No. You see, Alonso did the perfect job here. he didnt say a word and I could hear the engine perfectly. Clarkson would have ruined this by opening his big mouth.

At 1:13 there is someone at the passenger seat filming him but later you clearly can see there is nobody in the passenger seat during the video...WTF?

Jusqu'à présent ma Ferrari préférée était la 355 F1 Spider, mais je dois avouer que désormais ça sera la 458 Spider... vraiment magnifique.

this is about alonso, not Ferrari.

2:30 pacca sulle spalle... "Brava, piccola" 2:30 pat on the back... "Good girl"

@BarbaShime Thats pretty much spot on.

why spyder? it was perfect the way it was when it first came out...

Wow!! He managed to have his hat on throughout the topless drive.

is this road a 1 way only? it is too small

i just realized how tough fernando´s job as a ferrari employee is.....

¡Menudo máquina es este Alonso!

Who was edited this video? I feel like ripping the video and doing a better version. And all I have is iMove *rolls eyes*

How on earth did he manage NOT to smile while he was the driving the Ferrari 458 Spider? If I was driving I'd have a massive smile from ear to ear!

I cant wait for mine :):):)

The Stig?

I'm always interested to see how F1 drivers review 'regular' street cars considering they drive beast F1 cars.

599 im guessing on the size of the engine

that hat's on pretty tight.

MAdremia pedazo cocheee...Alonso se te queda grande!

Amazing car!!!

un mito...non so se avete notato in uscita dal curvone in discesa come ha accelerato...semplicemente un FENOMENO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only Yellow car I would be seen in! Ferrari! Magnifico!

very nice video

One day I´ll have one...one day

0:01 to 0:05 Ferrari 458 Spider unboxing

How the hell can a sound produced by a machine get me so primeval feelings?

@tecedas Of course. Alonso is a professional driver who won the F1 championship twice, not an English clown to make people feel "excited". :)

How did his hat stay on?

Allons-y, Alonso!

That means you're the best bowler in the world or just two time world champion. :)

Still like the 360 better :p

at last, something that looks as much fun as the 16M is to drive..

Libidine totale. Per la macchina e per ...il pilota!!!

My god Italy is beautiful :))) greetings from Serbia XD

i love the cobra face of the 458

Why do we have to see him pulling up three times?

he makes it seem so easy... now ima go out there and try to attempt the same thing but end up crashing off the mountain

after he ride with it , he did get inside and order 1 or 2 ;) lucky bag he is

Wow!!! lovely car and I liked it.........

1:38 I CAME. TYRE SQUEAL ON EXIT

I dont think it was a "drive test", but a commercial video :P

@xNLGxPolarbear its 458 spider..it measn no roof version of ferrari...458 italia for no roof mechanism..

in fairness he has driven more exciting cars while working. I mean look at his office. it will do 0-60 in a sub 3 sec time and it will do the best part of 200mph

this man has born in car seat

incredible car

Never met with Hamilton and cannot speak for him as a person but Alonso and Kimi both great guys from what I´v seen. A bit quiet but then again why speak when have nothing to say, lol

Xabi Alonso + Fernando Alonso = Alonso Alonso, The Ultimate Spanish :D

and what qualifies him to drive this car?

imagine if you could buy that car, i mean, i would definetly not know which colour to choose :D, it looks cool in red, yellow, white, alloy, silver, black pfft :D

good Schumacher developed it, Alonso's driving it

what a beauty

1:38 total control

che auto stupefacente!!!!FAVOLOSA!!

well its obv. not a 5.9L V9 engine .. so try 599 hp instead.. even though its supposed to be 612hp

LEGEND!!!

LOL I was just waiting for the cop waiting for him to pass

Alonso can probably walk into the factory whenever he wants and just take the keys to anything that's in running order. Not that I'm bitter about that... :P

I'd love to be driven by Fernando Alonso in a Ferrari :'D Hahahaa *dreams on*

"Yeah.......... I'll take it."

what an a amazing car!

Uno de los mejores vídeos que en cuanto a automóviles deportivos se refiere, he visto.

God I hate these promotional videos with professional race drivers, where they go nowhere near the limit and you can only see there faces while they accelerate in a way anyone can do it -,- If I watch a pro driving a great car, I want to see him do it on the limit.
