Ferrari 458 Spider on the Stelvio Pass - CAR and DRIVER

[@dmarkj22]

The beginning of this video is music to my ears. No annoying music, no one talking just simply the glorious sound of that Ferrari V8.

[@ricardomarques18]

One of the best car reviews I've ever seen! The car, the sound, the road, the mountains...it's just perfection!

[@cadenguyen463]

That boyish giggle after you've just drifted a 458 like a hooligan in the Stelvio Pass........Gold

[@akascotman]

This guy is one of my favorite journalists - excellent driver and superb in communicating the 'emotion' regarding driving the car. Great feel for his job.

[@miguelmc2289]

This is my favorite 458 Spider review by far!! Excellent image and sound quality. Love the camera perspectives mainly at 1:10. And the joy is so contagious!! I WANT ONE !!!!!!

[@SuperXshrimp]

0:37 thats my favourite part of 458’s exhaust, when the flap close and open, there is this change in tone!

[@Tousanx]

One of my favorite car videos on KZbin. I always come back and re watch it because of the great cinematography.

[@DoctaM3]

What a great review... not to mention the perfect backdrop. I will do this Stelvio Pass within the year for sure... it is too tempting to pass it up...sorry for the pun.

[@supercarking5782]

8 years later you have more than 100k subs, and problably living the dream

[@samueldwayne6899]

instaBlaster.

[@ponyboyjon13579]

One of my life goals to do this

[@moreirexpt]

This is simply one of the best videos featuring a Ferrari that i've ever seen! Pure beauty, thank you Car and Driver!

[@Tousanx]

even after 2 plus years this is still my all time favorite car video. the cinematography, music, and jethro narrations is top notch.

[@rando5000]

Once you've driven a Ferrari, there simply is no going back. Magical beasts. Great job on this video, guys!

[@jayernster7869]

The number of times I have watched this very well made video must be in the hundreds. All of the magic is there...Jethro, the 458, the scenery....so glad to be living in this time of such beauty.

[@PischkePerformance]

You can tell how much passion he truly has along with the car, great driver, camera work, road, and episode :) One of the best video's I have ever seen!

[@paulflyingwhale]

This is the most artful video car and driver has and I watch two times a week; it leaves me so happy and refreshed.

[@LILLO84]

well the 458 is a masterpiece and the location is just amazing! what a beautiful video

[@Marcobiemme]

This is THE BEST VIDEO... EVER!!! I love the 458 Spider, and I love the Stelvio Pass. I've done it with my motorbike, you all MUST go there! And Jethro, you are the best!

[@jax1079]

This is BY FAR the best video you guys have made yet. Keep it up!

[@metsikin2]

this is my 3rd time watching this video and i never get tired of hearing that 9000 rpm engine rev

[@HamzaAlBelushi]

The editing on this video is breathtaking! I almost cried! What a beautiful country and ride

[@GKaragiannis82]

Great video. I did stelvio pass earlier this year. I left london 06:00 in the morning and arrived in Stelvio 20:00 and I was the only one there for the whole pass... just me and the road... as the sun was going down... spectacular ...!

[@Tousanx]

one of your best videos to date. The cinematography was outstanding. the commentator was great, and it was fun to watch. thank you.

[@drazenvidakovic]

This is the best video I've ever watched and I'm a huge Porsche fan, though ;) The Spider, that road and landscape and V8's noise on 9000 rpm are mesmerizing. Closest thing to a heaven :)

[@jorrellds6520]

I saw this road on my windows lock screen and knew I could find someone tearing it up on KZbin.

[@rogerkastoun3143]

This car, this road... what a wonderful video! Definitely bucket list material

[@filipe30]

Great video! The narration, camera shots, sound, editing. All excellent.

[@lokomilos1]

This video is so great!one of my all time favorites! This sound! This car and these pictures! It nearly made me cry :D and i also like how this dude speaks, so calm and friendly all the time. Very very good job!

[@rubiksmaster301]

This is the video that single-handedly got me into cars when I was around 8 years old. I found this video by accident and I was like this is amazing!l. I was never a car person until I saw that video. I then started searching ferrari in youtube and here I am!

[@cavaleer]

Jethro, good to see they gave you some quality time with this one!!!! Excellent review.

[@75KoDe]

THIS is art ladies and gentlemen! Thank you very much.

[@farazc4]

I've watched this video from the day it came out and still a great video, it just takes u away.this is what motoring is about.

[@jevans4615]

Been there, done that, went on to the Grossglockner Pass and to Cortina etc Best experience of my life, on a Honda Fireblade that I rode from Lymington, Hampshire.

[@mees.wijnants]

Compliments to the presenter and crew, this video is a true piece of art👏🏻👏🏻

[@dpresuto]

This is what I dream about at night... I only wish I could afford a ferrari 458, but I will drive the Stelvia Pass... many times. Thanks for a great video!

[@SilentMovements305]

I'v been in love with this design since Ferrari brought out the concept, I see no flaw what so ever in the design of this car I dare say this car is highly a top 3 in the best designed vehicles this world has ever seen. With that being said I remember when I was younger playing the Gran Turismo series and this road was on the many roads I would choose to race in. 1) because it's in Italy ( beautiful country ) 2) those freaking S turns and dangerous yet excitement filled hairpins. In the read world their are 3 cars that I would love to drive this road in. 1) being the 458/488 Italia, 2) 911 Turbo and 3) a Mustang. With the first two it would be a finesse just by how a driver would come in contact with this road with both the 911 and the 458 and the other being the Mustang , throw that ass out and let it devour those S turns the only way an american car can. Hearing that burble and loud exhaust accelerating its like music to my ears.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

+David Lopez What were the other two cars you would want to drive? And I agree, the 458 really is one of the most beautiful car designs ever. I just love Italian cars to death. The 458 and the Aventador are my dream cars. Some people call the Aventador childish and too much but to me it is such a seamless blend of being radical while also being timeless. No other car will ever match the Aventador's look in my opinion.

[@SilentMovements305]

Michelangelo Hamato The 911 and a Mustang. The Aventador is one sexy car man.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

+David Lopez The Aventador and 458 are the two ultimate Italian cars. Well I mean theres a few more models from them and of course theres Pagani but still. And interesting that you say a Mustang, which year? I love Mustangs, I have a fully modded out 2008 GT that I use as my daily driver. I am always doing something to the car. :p This may sound absolutely stupid but I always thought of Mustangs and Lamborghinis as being somehow related... I mean the build processes are obviously different but both lines have a long history that only started a few years apart, both stick to big naturally asperated engines, and well anyways I probably sound dumb so I'll stop XD

[@SilentMovements305]

Michelangelo Hamato No man its cool to hear that,its a first for someone to say Mustang and Lamborghini's are somewhat related. I seriously thought you would laugh at me when I mentioned the Mustang ( i'v loved Mustangs since birth ). In my opinion I would love to drive either the 2000 Cobra R, GT350R, Boss Luagna Seca or the Saleen S-351 what you think ?

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

+David Lopez Mustangs are awesome! Why would I laugh? They have such a big history. I never understood why it seems that the whole Internet amd everyone I meet in person hates Mustangs or talks down at then. They have the biggest aftermarket following of any car in the world and some have called them the "lego set" of cars. You can do anything you want to them and they are relatively cheap to begin with and always have a nice naturally asperated engine. Since I always loved Italian exotics, I always thought the ultimate Mustang would have a screaming high revving V8, so you can imagine how happy I was to see they were putting a 500hp plus neutrally aspirated flat plane crank V8 in the Shelby GT350R. That would have to be my pick, it's the ultimate Mustang.

[@aaronjustin33]

This for me is the best car video I have ever seen . Hands down

[@jockdr650]

Fantastic video!! Stelvio (and Italia) are TRULY the stuff of dreams!Stunning views; incredible car. Makes you glad to have ears (the better to hear that FEROCIOUS V8) and eyes (the better to take in the views at the top of the world!). Assolumente favoloso.. Mille grazie!!

[@jiggymonk00]

The Camera and sound work in this video was spot on. To the guys who don't get the credit that's needed, i tip hat off to you. Well Done

[@quackman]

The engine sound mixing of this video is great. It sounds so clear

[@mrwick7961]

famous roads are never fun, too many tourists and bikes. its always the roads ppl dnt know about that are the best :)

[@matthewtayloresquire]

so true!

[@MaCe19]

absolutely right, they closed the Stelvio for the video, but from May to September is always full of everything, tons of cyclists, riders, and, to top it all, families with suvs and station wagons...

[@Sjomii]

Have you ever been there? Sure, in July and August its very very populated. But as you can see the video has been made in the morning. And if you drive there between 6 and 9 am and 6 and 9 pm there is pretty much nobody, absolutley nobody. And yes, i have been there many times, just like on other famous roads in the alps. its just about the time when you are going there.

[@ApfelNicknack]

I drove the Stelvio on my way home from lake Como in September 2016 at around 9-10pm due to an accident on the road I wanted to take initially and in total I saw 3 or 4 cars there. I’ve been there during the day too and I’d say if you go there pretty early or rather late there’s very little traffic and it’s very enjoyable to drive

[@mauropedroso2212]

I was there, on 02/08/24, by motorcycle, amazing place. Cheers from Brazil

[@martineriksson2928]

That 3/4 camera view in the end is just amazing! Makes you feel like you're right there. Great stuff!!

[@LingyMS]

This is such a wonderful video ! I hope one day I'll bring my own 458spider there !

[@iancole85]

Unbelievable. This videos are excellent, keep them coming.

[@xSoShi]

the best video that CARandDRIVER has made .

[@solicama]

Amazing, i really like this video. The car, the road, the presenter, the photography...

[@Johno530]

Wow what a great review! The filming is epic and the review is informative and interesting. Love the over the shoulder shot!

[@achp400]

Jethro! One of the best automotive journalist in the world. So what do we have here the best road/car and Journalist. Hold on let me get some popcorn.

[@yoghi993]

best footage of the stelvio, and in general of a good drive i've ever seen. thanks!!

[@bulletkip]

love the video. i especiallylike a lot of the parts where there isn't any commentary and it's just him driving. if you still have the footage you should release it! even if it's like 2 straight hours, i would easily watch it all, just thrashing around (and i bet others would too). maybe like a bonus footage thing.

[@Havanaalex13]

the best episode by far bravo Car and Driver

[@Lotterboy]

I drove it on the last open day in autumn close to sunset. Had it entirely to myself. It was really worth the wait and the timing ..

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

Very good video! Keep up the great work!

[@Christophe_L]

Best car video I've seen in ages.

[@rockhop8595]

If not the best car review EVER, the only guy on par with Chris Harris, I have watched this review 100 of times probably

[@ashythedon]

Fantastic review! Great commentary. Loved thar you've focused on the surroundings of that epic driving road as well and not just that road. Bravo

[@kontra]

That was the most beautiful presentation video for a vehicle I've EVER seen! Very elegant and beautiful! Well done Car and Driver! By the way? What was the operatic music accompanying the video?

[@JayRicci7891]

That Ferrari. That road. GLORIOUS. Its a deathbed memory.

[@mmenchu]

What a beautiful masterpiece. That car just makes me drool. The sound. The design. ufff Madre mia!!!

[@Iwillfindonesoon]

Well done Mr Bov and the team, this looks like a fine series in the making. We all like watching Monkeyboy on Drive, but it's good to see you coming out from under his big mouthed shadow and do something at least as good and in a slightly different way. It's great news having access to a widening range of quality resources for the motoring enthusiast on the internet! Keep it up!!

[@regodawoodstudio]

the best 458 video i have ever seen!

[@bg8780]

The outside onboard views are amazing on this road! Great job! That classic Ferrari soundtrack always makes my spine tingle.

[@teamvigod]

Great job. Never even knew that Stelvio existed. Awesome car. I want one.

[@pinsinus]

jethro your videos are always well put together, good work

[@logwind]

This was wonderful. Beautiful fixed angles during the oversteer parts. Well done gentlemen.

[@Broadizzlz]

Epic shots indeed, job well done... waiting for the next great review.

[@LamboSpyder99]

It is very beautifully shot. The guy reviewing has also done a good job.

[@18YMCMB]

incredible camera work well done thanks for sharing the italian dream.

[@CindyMeitle]

In the words of my favorite sticker Jethro, "Shut up and drive!!!!!!!" I love this video! Thank you for making it and posting it!

[@BorderPatrol121]

that elevated camera angle from the back on the left is brilliant. how did you guys do that? awesome video. are you using a gopro? please post more like this one. job well done!

[@fadyberlon]

That review is 'E P I C' ! More of that please !

[@hemidesign]

what a beautiful machine.. and beautiful place to drive.. like paradise!! WOW

[@xSamxStormx]

Envious is an understatement, great episode CaD!

[@markhumberstone7068]

I bet that is still one of the most memorable drives in the last of the NA V8 Ferrari’s, I will never sell mine as it’s impossible to replace😎

[@davehornet6]

I have driven the Stelvio, (only in a pug 207sw diesel) But seriously in reality you just cannot get much speed up the Stelvio! It is packed with bikers,cyclists and other normal cars. You would be wasting your time taking a Ferrari and expecting to drive fast. The whole time it took me to drive up and down the other side i got to about 70mph 3 times (would have been 130mph ish for a split second in something fast) as the traffic was crazy on an average wednesday afternoon! It is definately worth driving whatever you own on the Stelvio though. Instant goosebumps and unbelievable scenery. DO IT PEOPLE....REALLY ;)

[@Schleberger]

Afternoon is the worst time, you gotta hit it in the early morning, when the sun has just risen.

[@quentin3330]

Thx! Looks stunning. Quick question,does it get snow in the winter? I can't imagine driving on that even if it is plowed and salted. Crazy. Looks beautiful though.

[@quentin3330]

Sorry nevermind. Ignore my comment. I just seen the plow truck and chains on the tires.

[@fettlemaster]

Early morning in September is the time to do it. It's too cold for cyclists. Our supercar club were able to go pretty much flat out.

[@cesarhidalgo23]

Double like!!! Awesome video, great review, fantastic car!!! Good job!!!

[@JoshHennings]

The deep exhaust tone at 0:36 is a beautiful sound..

[@thomaspatrickjensen]

omg the sound 0-0 speechless, also awesome channel just discovered it 0o.

[@longtailgt]

How ironic really when you realize that this was the road that was used to film the F355 when it was launched back in the mid-90's. The clip of the 355 Berlinetta driving on the pass has been used numerous times in the old Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson's old DVDs. Awesome video btw way! The sound of that naturally aspirated V8s is eargasmic!

[@Dudles451]

October 2017 and still the best of recent Ferraris

[@Dudles451]

or supercars at all

[@nageen123naz]

This brings legit shivers down my spine

[@dracojah]

Beautiful video. Stelvio Pass is 200 miles away from my house and i had never heard of it..

[@mfmelendez]

Brilliant video mate!

[@abcizdaman]

Awesome scenary and awesome sound!

[@ZlotySokol]

Instant goose bumps. One of my favourite video and this car, pity I can't afford one ^_^

[@samsalam69]

Amazing scene, Amazing car, Amazing reviewer, and Amazing channel! :)

[@ToledoWingNut]

Three way tie for places that make me happiest: Scottish golf courses, great European cathedrals, and Alpine pass roads. Never driven the latter in a performance car but, even in a rented piece of junk, the Alps are breathtaking.

[@XR4turbo]

As far as I'm concerned, this is much better than a TG review, which would undoubtedly feature only one boring location (the test track) and a disjointed, incoherent attempt at 'cutting edge' editing and overblown audio with ridiculous, only semi-relevant dialogue. Top Gear has become a caricature of itself. Thank you C&D for giving us honesty in journalism.

[@dan7985]

driving a 458 in Italy Alps is a lifetime dream.

[@positivelifestylechanges5268]

Will be climbing on bike July 23, 2016! Bucket list!

[@jmarcella0351]

So I watched the entire video and there were no cut scenes with child pornography or clubbing of baby seals, so how could anyone "dislike" this video? Fantastic car, scenery, and review!

[@anthony90123]

can Jethro do more similar videos in other supercars ? this is probably my 10th time watching this...and i still find it amazing

[@bsome1paris]

Im taking this road in 3 weeks with my Audi R8. Very excited!

[@ThatRosco458]

Even as a very objective movie buff, I can say that the soundtrack choice and cinematography in this video are phenomenal.

[@kosegdit]

Great video man!!

[@MV_96]

Very well done video! I love the 458 :)

[@mchi6ta2]

Fantastic video ! Keep it up

[@BeatxGhost]

This is such a good review, love it. It is also my dreamcar ad the location makes it a top calss review. Well done!

[@4x4PROX]

Best video I have ever seen!

[@integrafreak1]

Who would dislike such a masterpiece?!
