#Ferrari488 #488GTB #Review
It's time to take TheCarGuys' brand new 488 GTB out for a damned good thrashing on some classic driving roads, and for Jason to drive it for the very first time.
Is it still intoxicating and supremely competent? Does it sound any good? Is it really as fast as people say? Does it have any soul? And are the indicators still rubbish? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
Created by two ordinary guys with an obsession for cars, TheCarGuys.tv is a digital channel that celebrates everything automotive - supercars, classics, quirky, hidden gems and those in the TCG garage.

I love your style of reviews, not forced or trying to be trendy, Just two blokes having a chat about awesome cars. Keep up the great work guys!

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Thanks, Mick - it might limit our audience numbers, but those we do have are responsive, intelligent, affluent and receptive. Better to have 10,000 subscribers like that, than a 100,000 bots and trolls

@andrewhill9513 6 лет назад

I love that you use your Ferrari 458 Italia as a camera car at 9:43 !!! Great video, the pair of you compliment each other perfectly with these review videos.

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Andrew Hill I guess not many people do that 😀

@portlandbill987 6 лет назад

why so few views and subscribers? really enjoying this channel, simple and fun format- keep these coming!

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Thanks, Thomas. We are growing, but most people on RU-vid probably aren’t searching two two old gits moaning about indicators and keyless entry. If we ditched the cars and focused or Fortnite we’d probably be doing a lot better 😀

@portlandbill987 6 лет назад

ill just keep watching until that happens then, now away with you and buy us a Pista to review!

@Scotty70 6 лет назад

@anishka3201 6 лет назад

Another interesting and entertaining video! Thank-you. On another note, I would enjoy seeing a driving/emotional comparison between 488 and 458. Keep up the great work.

@cmwilmott 6 лет назад

Hi Guys I picked my 488 up with the gold wheel from the Ferrari factory 2 weeks ago . Drove it back . What a drive and what a car . If you want me to send you a pic let me know and I will email some over . Great work guys . Thanks

Don’t know why you guys have so little views comparatively.

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

We’ve only been going a year, gtb5 so I guess it’s early days. Plus we have a number of factors that limit our appeal on YT - a) we’re old, b) not dynamic, c) not trendy, d) we don’t say everything’s brilliant, e) we only do 1 vid a week, f) we don’t do click bait, and g) we don’t play Fortnite 😀 . On the plus side, all our subscribers are awesome level-headed, constructive, petrolheads. So it’s a pleasure to interact with them everyday

@ghowells5433 6 лет назад

Great reviews guys. I currently own a 991.1 GTS and a Golf R for the daily commute and thinking of changing the GTS for something like a 458 or a 570GT as I didn’t get a GT3 allocation and not willing to pay a premium to a speculator. Any thoughts would be really appreciated as you have experience of both cars, albeit in different forms.

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Hi Gareth - I’d take the 458 over the McLaren, but they are different prospects. The McLaren is likely to be the closest to your 991 - refined, minimalist interior, lots of torque. The 458 is a wilder stallion -with an engine note to die for and sublime handling. And the 458 May now actually appreciate whereas the 570 will not . The Speciale is 25% better in all respects but £200k dearer. So for me it’s 458 all the way

@ghowells5433 6 лет назад

Thanks guys your reply is much appreciated. Carry on with the great videos

@ortontom 6 лет назад

I like the tuning on the exhaust to complement the turbo. The open valve mod is definitely a must though.

@brettnixon8344 5 лет назад

@kinosgarage 2 года назад

Great video. How’s the suspension? How do you compare it to the Huracan Perf? I got an LP 580-2 and conferring getting a 488.

@andrewmiles6903 6 лет назад

Thanks guys my conclusion same, I test drove the 488 GTB And when I went down to see Sam at Meridian I test drove the 458 spider not to buy just test drive, ahhhhhhh I left with a 190k hole in my pocket, what an amazing car, did Goodwood last weekend again fab on track so different to my old 570 s and only had 5 months and gone up 10 k now So very happy with my choice White 458 spider 2014 plate Carbon every ware. Keep it up. Great video.

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Great story, I'm so pleased it's worked out so well. Thanks

@asimkhan2078 6 лет назад

Love it! The Colour is Amazing! Very nice spec 👍🏾

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

It is certainly a striking hue, glad you approve.

@Fullersh1t 6 лет назад

488 GTB more I watch the videos of them, the more I go wow! Truly is a special motor. I reckon Jason is right I think they'll make the Pista terrifying if honest. Did you also not decide to go for a GT2? I'd think that would look good in the Garage, maybe a replacement for the 675LT?

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Sadly GT2RS prices are still too silly - and I’m still narked about not getting one

@Fullersh1t 6 лет назад

Yea I'd be the same, but sadly I could never imagine buying a car of that cost! Yea think £450k is OP for that. I'd say the mid three hundreds is OK....BTW know you're not a Mclaren Fan boy, but not considered the 600LT? That looks a beast and takes inspiration from the 918 on the rear exhausts!

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Kyle F Yep considered the 600 LT but they are all sold out and I wouldn’t want a spider. I have a very on/off relationship with McLaren sadly

@Fullersh1t 6 лет назад

TheCarGuys.TV yea and I guess they'll sell high above list when they launch, and owners want to make a large profit.

@dq1043 6 лет назад

Always enjoy your videos..if I ever buy a Ferrari I’ll ask your opinion... I can’t say that’s very likely though...Had fun the other day, my daughter arranged for a tour of Jay Leno’s Garage..She knows People..The type of People I don’t know..if I could pick just one of the 185 cars we saw it would have to be the McLaren F1..Very eclectic collection, 2 nice corvairs ..It was a really great experience although I’m not really sure how big of a car guy I am.... The most exited I got was when I found out they had free Yoo-hoo chocolate drinks...Perhaps you could branch out into food and drink reviews..

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Great to have you aboard, DQ10 . We’d love to view Jay’s collection, so you’re extremely lucky. Maybe your daughter can get us in too? 😀 Did you see Jay’s red LCC Rocket? It was next to the McLaren F1. We’ve got a vid of our one on the channel if you fancy checking that out.

It is your opinion, Myst, and we respect that. However, owning both cars I would disagree. Sound is not a McLaren strong point

@ssdmcleod 6 лет назад

TheCarGuys.TV Although were the most beautiful cars down to your age, say between eight - twenty as I find myself saying “yea but it’s not as good looking as the ######” so I suppose the question could be is aero ruining the beauty of the car? but on the other hand I love how McLaren’s aero on the 720 looks, Jesus this is getting complicated now. Let’s gauge how beautiful a supercar is on a kids reaction to it?

@Scotty70 6 лет назад

@Rascallucci 6 лет назад

I am sorry, but there is just nothing I agree with your review. You almost sound like it is a crime to own a supercar in the UK and you are rating how great the car is because its design is understated? Those kinds of comments just make you sound completely Ferrari-biased. Also, what is the deal that you cannot have a Lamborghini in more subtle colours? You mean you have never seen a charcoal Huracan or Aventador? Really? Check out the clip from the link below, that's a charcoal Huracan in silver rims (not even black rims). Is that subtle enough for you? Furthermore, none of you even addressed how the 488 has zero sound. The car is turbocharged and it honestly sounds pretty shite if I am being polite especially when you compare it to a Lambo. Oh and the Pista? If you are expecting a Speciale-like car as it was to the 458, then you are guaranteed to be disappointed. If you truly want to enjoy driving a supercar, get a Performante, it has the look, the sound, the performance and the handling to give you the complete package. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-peLaor3tdWY.html

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

Hi Alex, if you’d bothered to research our channel before making these comments then you’d realise we own a 488, 458 and a Performante. So I’d say we’re in a pretty good position to compare them and justify our statements. We do say the 488 doesn’t sound as good as a 458 but it’s nowhere near as bad as everyone thought the turbo-charged cars would be.

@TheCarGuysTV 6 лет назад

And there’s no point comparing a turbo-charged V8 to an naturally aspirated V10 - of course the V10 will sound better, and it does.

@cougaraus500 6 лет назад

Alex Fu, Re watch it mate. from 4:40 or so. they talk about not only the noise but components of the engine and that name drop... yes it has less sound, but thats not news to anyone.
