Hi everyone I’m Sean Hudspeth from Singapore, a professional racing driver, and official Ferrari driving instructor. I’m a 2 time National GT champion in Italy (2019 & 2020).

Very good review! I have a 2015 Italia and have watched nearly every review. Yours is up there with the best. I've subscribed and am looking forward to more vids from you.

[@hollapotato]

Agreed. The most comprehensive ferrari review I've come across on youtube so far.. it's great

[@SeanHudspethMotorsports]

Hey cheers guys! Glad you liked the video. More to come.

[@dans4316]

Yes my favorite car to drive! Nothing is better in the canyons around here and the noise is amazing 🤩 great review keep up the good work

[@ReviewGuy01]

you deserve more views, your english is super fluent, youre articulate and your presentation is on par with popular car youtubers such as doug demuro, hoovies garage and that carwow guy. i was expecting the host stuttering and bad presentation, but instead i got a top gear tier host. very nice and underrated channel.

[@SeanHudspethMotorsports]

Appreciate the kind words!

Hi, I totally agree with your comments. I have owned a 2013 458 Spider in Hong Kong since 2017. It's an amazing car and one you can use everyday. It is also very reliable. The only downside, as with all direct injection engines, is the carbon bulit up in the inlet port and the inlet valves from the phenomenon of blow back at idling. This can easily be addressed by either cleaning the intake valves with walnut shell blasting or dry ice blasting. Of course the intake manifolds have to be removed to carryout this operation. I have recently had walnut shell blasting to clean the intake valves of the 458 and the engine does run better. It is something absolutely well worth doing especially for a 458, being the last NA mid-engined V8 Ferrari their value is going up.

Hi Sean, I remember you from the briefing you gave in 2020 at Dick Lovett’s Ferrari in Swindon, UK, for the F8 test drive- I was there with my father who actually has a 458 spider. Brilliant review👍🏽

[@SeanHudspethMotorsports]

Hey mate glad you enjoyed it!

[@antoniocail5608]

Love the spec on this car it's another McLaren 570s sick

[@unprofessionalvids]

this kind of Ferrari review is really pro-level #over9000

[@RevMonkey]

Can you imagine if they made a manual limited special edition!? Would be tough putting that sort of power through a manual but it would likely be the best Ferrari ever as I believe they have since become less analog and more robotic.

[@SeanHudspethMotorsports]

Manual would be cool but I also love the dual clutch gearbox 🙌

[@NationalFoodBro]

Wah the makan @13:51 look sedap bro!

[@bernieleung4592]

Would love to see a review on a F8!!

[@skullface_1290]

Can u do a review on Ferrari SF90 Spyder plz..

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

The 458 in this video has the same rims on our 458 rebuild what are the tire sizes on them as I believe these are 488 rims. I’m not sure the 488 tire size won’t rub a little when doing tight turn. So was wondering what this car has on it? Thanks so much

[@AlexRexVlog]

Dammit! 2nd to like 1st to comment this time!

[@david888a]

The 458 will be a classic collector’s vehicle like the MB300 SL Gullwing n the Porsche Carrera GT. I would buy a few now if I hav the money…😂😂😂

[@SeanHudspethMotorsports]

Haha I would love one too!

[@AhmadAhmad-jt9cl]

Tnx god for Ferrari 458
