Nick, which is worse: Ferrari charging $100,000 for paint or the chump that pays that for the paint?

[@jasonmarten6959]

chump for sure

[@Daniel-dr2zp]

could just get a wrap

[@Banner1986]

If you've got eff you money, might as well pay eff you money I guess

[@CP-kb1du]

The Chump that actually bought his car, pure money pit ..owning is like renting with the cost of maintenance ....

[@jherb]

It's like saying a guy who pays to go to the moon is a waste of money because he could afford the trip. smh

[@milligaj1]

I’ll assume that paint is made from truffles and saffron

[@golfbuddy1969]

Ferrari can be any color, as long as it’s red.

[@KUROSHURA]

golfbuddy1969 I prefer Black

[@The_Data_Cluster]

Yellow

[@johncreedon1833]

100 k for paint. The owner needs a sit down. He has clearly lost he's mind

[@BalkanBoyBiH]

or disqusting rich haha

[@danlesin9661]

I have lost my mind. Send help!

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Guessing from the fact he looks about 20 he probably has no concept of how much money $100,000 actually is to a regular person.

[@johncreedon1833]

Matthew Sharpe some day he will..and then he will regret that paint.

[@danlesin9661]

I know what $100k is worth. I can afford to spend it on paint so I don't see why I shouldn't have.

[@basque888]

$420K sticker price for a 488 is just plain stupid. especially a outgoing model. Could've got the newer 812 superfast with a v12 engine for that price.

[@KingReza]

Thats 10K USD paint job not 100k USD, I know Ferrari good. They misinformed you

[@willshepherd8869]

RS do you happen to know the actual name of this color? The name he provided in the video didn't seem to match on the website either. Thanks!

[@psyren7587]

Also agree something is wrong. That car has crap options... no carbon seats, no carbon interior, nope... it’s definitely not what I would call good spec at all...

[@KingReza]

@@willshepherd8869 its Blu Pozzi its for sure not 100k paint hehehehe, its same as normal rosso price. Also this car he show don't even have JBL speakers and very bad spec no carbon no carbon seats +++

[@MTobin1000]

Wow! what an absolutely beautiful spec. I love the inside...the leather is very handsome. The blue exterior is stunning too. It must have been a very fun day Nick. You got to enjoy driving a $400K+ Ferrari and when you turn the keys back to Dan...you get to drive your very own Porsche. Not a bad life I'd say. That's called clean living ! (Mike in Ohio)

[@stevenreichertart]

Nick, your production value just keeps getting better and better! Love the interaction between you two drivers--it makes the drag race more engaging.

[@canellaICE]

Who knew the kid from Sixteen Candles would have a 488 someday...Jake Ryan's 944 has nothing on this badboy...he might have a chance with Samantha now...

[@nocalsteve]

Didn’t he have a Mondial Spyder in Weird Science?

[@danielallocca7770]

The paint job on this car could you get into a base 911? Jesus.... that’s just ludicrous. I don’t care how rich you are, that’s a waste of money. That stated, the color is stunning. The interior is also perfect - sort of a London tan

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

Yeah right, just wrap your car the same colour

[@Eugene_Krabss]

Facts, Any body shop could color match that paint easily lol but hey some people will still pay 100k for it lol

[@ZDY66666]

Quick JAW you realize if you went to colour match in a shop your car is worth nothing after right? People think you are hiding an accident(s). Very few do it just because they can. If options were between colour matching at a shop versus paying 100k on the paint, I'd choose the latter..Good thing there are other options too.

[@Eugene_Krabss]

ZDY everyone knows that once u respray a car to hide dings etc it loses value, I'm saying why does it cost Ferrari 100k and a body shop 3k for the same color

[@zamorakxe]

Because there's people out there with either too much money to burn or stupid enough to buy shit like that.

[@user-eo1hy6sk4x]

tfw you realize Nick isn't driving bare chested and it's just the tan seatbelt

[@stanlee3619]

Keksi the Labrador I also thought he opened his shirt to the navel because he was driving a Ferrari. Where's the gold chain?

[@pancon5]

I thought the same for a few seconds, how great would that be.

[@martinc.720]

Took me a minute as well

[@charliemolda297]

That DRS feature has nothing to do with the brakes. All it does is decrease the volume of the diffuser (which in itself is very efficient at generating downforce) and as such decrease the drag generated hence the "Drag Reduction System"

[@minimcewen]

My FAVORITE! Got to drive one around the Ferrari factory in Maranello earlier this year. Absolutely amazing car and experience.

[@shunsato6621]

That Formula 1 brake lamp tho.... Nick you’re so fing cool got a friends with super cars! Thanks for sharing!

[@MBisFrenchy]

For those wondering about the expensive paint. It is to get a better chance to stand out to Ferrari when they consider you for a limited production car allocation. Basically you need to buy highly optioned cars the dealer suggests. To possibly qualify for a F12 TDF you needed to have a California T and a FF leased or financed which you would lose a lot of money on in order to be considered for the limited production car almost guaranteed to make the money back.

[@giancola123]

Do you never check before you finalize and upload? Its sacrilege to incorrectly name a car that good lol

[@NickMurray]

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Lovely to see you again Nick ❤️this interior makes you look like a superstar ❤️488 for a Golf, hmm, what a nice trade. Clearly, I must be doing something wrong xx

[@jasonhaar4913]

Dan looks like he is about 16 years old. Impressive feat for him to acquire a Ferrari around the same time as his DL...

[@GravelBikeRides]

Thank you for supporting animal welfare.

[@FurkanCemTurfanda]

The owner looks like the type of guy who would make a KZbin video titled "I'M WRAPPING MY $100K PAINTJOB!!!"

Nice touch adding the animal charities Nick 👍🏼👍🏼

[@phototristan]

Do your neighbors think you’re a drug dealer with all these nice cars in your driveway?

[@NickMurray]

I am a drug dealer

[@TedwardDrives]

always convenient to have a supply located in the neighborhood!

[@dammonharding611]

Ferrari 488 spider is a thing of beauty cool car.

[@benzinhead]

Ferrari 466? That's a new model :D

[@pharoahamunra]

lmao I was gonna say the same thing.

Nick Murray you can do no wrong in my eyes brother

For a second thought it's Deadmau5...

[@torygyberg8837]

Looks like you and Mark Zuckerberg had a great time! :P

[@MichaelBath]

A 911 and a 488 ... now that’s a very nice 2 car garage 👍

[@bugsy791]

the speed difference between by all accounts a very fast car and the 488 is just mind blowing

[@henrypattinson9118]

Very surprising that the owner has not chosen carbon all over the interior, just the steering wheel

[@Kstunnnaman23]

Hey but at least he has the $100k Paint job!

[@CaptCanuck4444]

Pro tip: Skip the flesh-coloured seat belts when you spec your Ferrari build.

[@charlesmcguffy]

I like that the 0-60 is "2.9 reliability" and the drag race is apparently a "Ferrari 466". Did you edit this video one handed?

[@atom999]

Stunning interior. Like the blue outside but does not look 100k to me. I find that price insane.

[@mortenberg2897]

Is it allready broken in? Brilliant! Very nice video 👍

[@Onestopgas1]

Nick dear man a pleasure as always.

[@sasmos]

Who else thinks the Ferrari owner can't drive stick, hence using the golf to shoot the video...

[@KUROSHURA]

Your Microphones really capture that engine note!!!!!!!!!!

[@huss03]

Any supercar without horrid black wheels is beautiful in my book

[@brianpara1407]

There are some grills that even a $420k Ferrari 488 can’t get laid…

[@josephberkeley]

Thanks for making and sharing this video. Love the engine sound you captured.

[@henryzhang9915]

Nicks review is so good. Every car he recommends I want one.

[@AstonMartinStig]

Saw a 458 in the street the other day, a red one. Saw a white one last year. Not sure of year of production. Made me feel less of a man each time as I know I can never comfortably afford one unless I sacrifice a lot.

[@bustdetector1738]

my dream car , im going to live in my parents basement and eat ramen until i'm 52 years old to afford one. sacrifices must be made.

[@lucaspiresr]

Such a classy spec

[@NoGoodHandlesComingToMind]

Awesome video, awesome car. Congrats to the owner on that one, the color seems really special.

[@rgorell]

100k paint job is officially the More Money Than Sense Club. Dude needs to visit the poor districts in Cape Town for a start. I hope he’s donating some of that money instead of just pissing it away like this everywhere else in his life.

[@jayymac]

Kid just got arrested by the FBI for wire fraud. Scam artist POS

[@claussalt8081]

Suits you. Really does. Writing from the Isles of Scilly (Off Cornish Coast).

[@Rick2010100]

Upgrade to a GT2RS and the liquid metal paint from the 918 costs at Porsche only ca. 40k.

[@sideshowbob32]

100k paint is properly taking the piss, well done to Ferrari for extracting that amount of money out of somebody, must have been some next level pitch!

[@LAFTENAGLIAUMA]

NO PET on background! (Y) Great video!

[@pontyva]

Great content Nick.and what a spec on that 488...If u dnt mind me asking what does Dan do for a living?

[@farqueue]

He is a son... pretty hard gig and he worked very hard to pop out of that particular vajayjay

[@MBisFrenchy]

If its Dan Lesin, he's in jail now for federal wire fraud Ferrari related ironically enough.

[@ycnexu]

Can I have dark blue? -That'll be $100 thousand, sir.

[@tpm1717]

Are you sure your “friend” isn’t a Valet driver?

[@jayymac]

[@keitumetsemabuza9940]

Hello Nick from Johannesburg South Africa, I've been subscribed for over a year now. Great vids, great personality

[@pyootchnich]

Well executed video. Thinking of making the move from 458 to the 488 and this may have pushed me over the edge. Still hesitant because I love the sound of the naturally aspirated 458. Again, good job on the video. Enjoy your fine Porsche and beautiful house!

[@ahmedhumayunrasheed2434]

Nick looking cute in this video especially when talking about paint!

[@blackadax9370]

First one in the US! Good for you Nick.

[@petegrimes4648]

That acceleration is ridonculous 911 pitter pattering along

[@mattwasilewicz9677]

100k for paint? Honestly, it is shit like that that makes me never want to buy a Ferrari. I don't care how you justify it, there is no way a paint job can possibly cost that much. I'll stick with my 911, a complete car, for the price of that paint...jeez

[@Speednote10]

Yes, how dare Ferrari offer an expensive paint that absolutely none of their customers have to buy.. It's outrageous! Also, Porsche is one of the absolute worst when it comes to option costs so I don't know why you'd go there.. Didn't they offer a $65k paint for the 918 for example? Maybe $70k is your limit when it comes to acceptable price points for paint jobs you never have to get when you go shopping for a new car..

[@mattwasilewicz9677]

My problem is that it is even an option, being stuck up enough to actually believe that you are offering 100k worth of paint. I suppose in the end the real idiot is the customer who selects that option. 100k for a solid colour paint job is indefensible , I would expect to have a commissioned mural on my car for that much. And yes, Porsche is nuts for options, but I can't think of a singular option on one of their regular production vehicles (not a halo car) that even comes close to this

[@Speednote10]

It is a bit stuck up and the price is ridiculous, I completely agree. But the only reason they offer it at that price is because they can, and the fact that people tick that option shows that it was a great decision by Ferrari to do so. They run a business after all, and as long as customers are stupid/passionate/'insert your own word' enough to pay for it they are going to continue doing it. I just find it weird to blame Ferrari when it's the customers who decide what color their car should be in the end. For example I wouldn't stop buying $100 Nike shoes just because they happened to offer a "super exclusive" shoe for $10k. It doesn't affect the shoes I buy in any way.

[@HugoElders]

Why don't you get yours with a regular dark blue paint job then? Ferrari is not asking you to justify the price nor to bash them into grounds

[@MC-uk4my]

LOL, u do realise there is also regular paint that cost less right? nobody is FORCING u to pay 100k for the paint unless u want to.and also coming from a porsche owner??? are u fking serious bro???

[@Grenyas]

With that paint job, hopefully it has PPF installed 😳

[@virtual_kamikase]

With the price of that paint, hopefully it has double layer PPF installed. lol

[@jeromelangenderfer8853]

Very nice thanks for the video.

[@awacs87]

Not true about the $100k paint job. I quoted one of the rarest Ferrari colors at my dealership, and the color option (Tiffany Blue) costs $40k, which is one of the most expensive paint options at Ferrari.

[@TheChrisCartaya]

That is Very Close to PPG 520 Blu Pozzi, are you sure it's not that color? (Big fan of Blu Pozzi Ferraris)

[@venom5809]

Don't let that 488 run into a 720S. LOL. How on God's earth is a paint job $100,000? I know Ferrari are masters at gouging people but this is impressive, even for them. There's not a new 911 worth of paint of that car.

[@raupenimmersatt6906]

venom5809 Same as why some Patek watches are 150.000k when a A. Lange die 60k has better finish&movement: status

[@MC-uk4my]

great point, ferrari is in its own league.

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

Imagine driving that without PPF.. every stone chip is a couple hundred bucks

[@venom5809]

+Rauber, I collect, well used to collect high end watches, still have some, and comparing paint to a high end watch is utterly ridiculous. It's paint and doesn't looks particularly special, it doesn't have complications, exotic materials or gem stones, or tourbillons, or is limited in production, it's paint. You need to work on your analogies. LOL

[@swanblake]

Mo-hammad Abunaser a pen of touch up paint is probably $2k. Crazy

[@V1RT8]

I assume that with a 100k paint job you won’t take the car to Walmart on Saturday pm...

[@sonnywilson9125]

When paint cost over $100k you should remember the name of the color fyi the passenger always had the information screen

[@dlg5485]

I love the 488, purists be damned. I love the way it sounds and the boost in fuel economy alone is worth the concession. However, as gorgeous as that color is, I'd leave the box for $100k paint job unchecked....I mean, seriously? Great video, Nick, as always!

[@timothyfogarty9007]

“Giving it the beans.” I’m using that.

[@Contractnik]

HAHA - Miller Motorcars...used to go there all the time when I was a kid...my Dad bought a Boxer from them. 512 BB.

[@scotto8199]

I thought you were thing to match the level of swagger given off by the car by having your chest showing... then I realized it was the seatbelt. Also you were going 10 mph at 8,000 rpm? You have some explaining to do.

[@zeusm8498]

Gorgeous spec bro, love it

[@drew9312]

An excellent Kiwi review

[@biffy7]

Thanks Nick. Excellent. I love that spec car. What? No engine shot, oh well. Notice I didn’t mention the 466 graphic ;-)

[@michaelmadsen2268]

those are the coolest seats!!!

[@dammonharding773]

thing of beauty

[@coopsnz1]

Price in Australia , you will have a heart attack , $469,000 . $123,000 in luxury car tax , $18,000 in tariffs ' $32500 in gst = $170000 in taxes excluding ORC

[@dono4598]

Not sure if its the glasses or the car, but that swag...

[@ZDY66666]

I'd rather experience the bang bang gear changes in the 458 just for that mechanical feeling

[@inflatable2]

Over 100.000 USD for that blue paintjob?!? Are they nuts?!? It looks nice, but nothing that special to me.. On the video it looks almost the same as Nick's 911 blue paint.. Does it have pure gold flakes in it or something?

[@user-ok6ef9zn4f]

You know know at least one person at Ferrari questioned whether or not anyone would actually buy that paint job.

[@beemer1111]

All these ridiculously expensive super cars, are all starting to look alike. I think Ferrari should make the Daytona Spyder again, with no electronics for around $75,000. and maybe the 246gts for a little less. I may have to wait for a wrecked 488, with a good engine I can put in my 78 MERC 280CE. These supercars all look like updated NSX’s , but likely require much more service at multiples of the cost.

[@rotoehu9266]

Nick, is it fair to assume you used the Golf because your mate with can’t drive a stick?

[@BPawn6]

Wow. Great vid. Wow. There's no way you can call a C4S slow, but dayyyummm!

[@Rallyx5]

Need to check you facts. Many of the points you mention were available when launched. Also check the invoice. You might find that the paint job didnt cost 100k

[@Anonymous-pm7jf]

Why are people surprised Ferrari is charging $100,000 for a paint color? This is the same company charging $4,200 for Apple CarPlay.

[@lowfinger]

I thought Nick had gone full macho medallion man, the tan seatbelt makes it look like he has no shirt on in the opening shots ! certainly made me double take :-)

[@ravenstylea2]

Kid’s dad is maybe a CEO of a company

[@Dev-Austin]

Great review, but would have liked to see the passenger electronic screen

[@bbgt6299]

so much about breaking-in a car :)

[@CP-kb1du]

Brand New with 200 hard driven abusive miles , prior to being picked up .

[@adisafwan4425]

A 100k paint job might be expensive but it might be a good investment? Since not many people would choose that option, only a handful will and therefore will be limited edition. Which for a Ferrari will gain a few hundred thousand bucks to a million. Which is a great roi

[@farqueue]

Yes it will only lose 60% in 5 years instead of 68% - awesome investment no wonder he can afford this car SMH FML

[@josephnasiri]

Thanks a lot

[@mikemisa6496]

Well done, Nick.

[@djrudz]

Is that "Jake" from the Doug Dumoro video when he reviewed the California about a year ago?

[@zengtianchen7840]

Was your friend on track in June 1st? I saw a similar 488 right nearby my C4S.

[@ShakaLakaMTB]

Hey Nick, what does justify this huge premium for this color? From the video, I cannot seem to see why it would be that expensive.

[@nickcifarelli8887]

What About Sat Nav and Heads Up Display?

[@stevefowler2112]

My 2018 GTS msrp was $375K with Rosso Corsa paint...I think it has almost every option (other than the CF racing seats which I did not want)....personally I just can't own a Ferrari unless it is red. I hope to get my next one in Rosso Scuderia.
