Ferrari 488 Pista First Drive Review! 

True

what about F12 TDF ?

@@ericzhu7758 nah the 812 looks better

Wtf dude

458 speciale says Hi

Cephas Makuzva looking forward to that day 😂

Casual dream lol

Yes, but the car will help to promote the channel and NVN so it's all interlinked business.

100%

I'm not so convinced. Shortly after the 458 Speciale came out, Ferrari engineers said that the naturally-aspirated, flat-plane crank V8 was at a dead end (at least for the time being). As their prototype engine began to reach 5 liters, the secondary imbalances became too intense, and the engine ran incredibly poorly. Hence, they said, unless they go to a V10 (which is more Lamborghini's territory), turbocharging was the only way forward in terms of power since they couldn't increase displacement. **To answer this critique before it arises, yes, I'm aware the Ford Voodoo is 5.2l and has a flat-plane crank. I can also say, having been in a GT350R just last week, that the engine runs incredibly poorly and that they have A LOT of problems (the one I was in had the air conditioning compressor go out THAT DAY, and it had less than 4500 miles on the clock). The Voodoo also had to be detuned because of its vibrations and, consequently, makes no where near as much HP/L as did recent Ferrari NA V8s.

What are you talking about lol The Mercedes-AMG M156 6.2-liter V8 from the SLS AMG featured a cross-plane crank. Even Koenigsegg Jesko has moved to a 5lt flat plane crank....I am pretty sure that's slightly more highly strung that a low reving yank unit....

MAxx MAxx absolutely right about that, big shame indeed.

@@Slapbladder FLAT-PLANE being the main feature of my comment. The Mercedes M156 (the engine in the SLS) has balance shafts on the crank like all Cross-Plane engines in order to smooth out secondary imbalances. The Jesko engine, like the upcoming project 1 Mercedes, won't be designed to go many miles before a rebuild. As long as the engine idles and makes the power, I'm sure Christian doesn't care if you have to rebuild it every 3,000 miles (because, realistically, Koenigseggs don't get that many miles put on them anyway). Ferraris, by comparison, HAVE to have longevity, even if the first owner doesn't put that many miles on the engine. That's the difference.

Yes was waiting for this. Sam from seenthroughglass just post his review of the spider yeaterday from Italy

Mikey I kept thinking it was my fridge until I read your comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow

You could watch it in bed too. Would be a win-win.

Million Dollar Men I hope I can someday be like you guys where you can buy supercars for yourself.

@@datujaasserzachariaivcanda7848 Thanks. just keep the motivation and focus and Im sure you can do it.

F8 has a little less power and weighs more. But the F8 special series will no doubt destroy the Pista but most likely will not win me over the Pista

@James Crain The Pista was and is faster than the Speciale. the Speciale is faster than the Scuderia. The Scuderia is faster than the Challenge Stradale. No doubt the F8's special series is going to have to be faster. So all I am saying is that you are a moron

@@j.hannoodles7242 the engine power is identical. The Tributo will be faster in a straight line due to the less drag!

Gotta love the 4K quality. 👌

James Crain I would’ve thought the Veyron 16.4 wins. However, there’s a video where the 488 Pista does 10.1 secs at 141mph. The Veyron 16.4 has done 10.1 secs at a higher trap speed. Now why that is interesting is because the 488 Pista has a slower claimed 0-200km/h time than the Veyron 16.4. The Veyron 16.4 does it in 7.3 secs. I’ve seen a video of a prototype Pista doing 6.9 secs but that was downhill, and that would match the time that the LaFerrari does it in. I highly doubt the 488 Pista is as quick as the LaFerrari.

its a mandatory speed limit exceed alert that all cars in UAE are fitted with

Yeah that speed limit fuse would be getting pulled on day one.

@@veemacks7255 the beeps and bongs we get over here don't occur while driving unless you're not wearing your seat belt or you choose to use lane departure alert. That speed limit bong is govt mandated apparently and occurs any time you past a posted speed limit. That's a completely different ballgame.

I was running around my house seeing if the microwave was running or the oven or my wifes hair straightener!

I kept checking my microwave!!

Gas Pedal Subscribe that’s the point. It’s meant to move sideways and spend half it’s life span in the shop. That’s what makes it brilliant.

Gas Pedal Subscribe go drive one first its a very nice car and petrolhead like drifting and cars that sound nice you just sounded like an idiot but ok man thats your opinion

Gas Pedal Subscribe thats your personal opinion, that doesn’t mean that people who like those cars are not petrolhead because i am a petrolhead since im a little kid and i like a ton of different cars with different purposes, a petrolhead is not a person who only likes to drive a track focused car.

@@charliem9941 eat shit Charlie

Don’t think so, other purchases to prioritise anyhow 😜

eichler721 I agree, but technically this is in the slot of the 600LT. Which even then the pista wins it for me.

@@diegoaponte8512 ya the 600LT is a good car but the Pista has been proven already to be faster so it would be my pick as well
