Ferrari's naturally aspirated mid engined V8 may be on the way out. We took a 458 Spider out and about to have a look not only at where it may be going, but also at where it came from. It's all because of one man, Dino.

i can listen to the well spoken lad telling automotive stories like this all day

[@Louie90s]

I agree

[@GPTVIBHU]

Absolutely

[@bballbrc]

agree

[@realtywithseankemp9704]

This guy is trash. All he does is complain and complain in every video. His face is seriously irritating. Like, I imagine her got punched I the face alot as a kid.. and as and adult

It's called Rosso Fiorano, in case you ever get the money.

Just Ave0n ~ Recruiter Thanks, I have now seen more videos of his Lambo.

[@jimbo6612]

The 488 GTB and the new F8 are absolute overkill. The 458 is the perfect sweet spot - such a well-balanced, timeless car. (Watch Chris Harris' review on the 488 Pista - in my honest opinion, a car like that simply isn't rewarding to drive in the same way a 9k rpm, NA V8 would be)

[@targaflorio3239]

Take a Bow XCar. IMO, One of the best reviews in the entire series.

[@dcurro1]

As a Director in the Ferrari Club of America I get to see a lot of interesting things Ferrari. I greatly appreciate the wonderment of this video not just for the knowledge handed forward, not just for the narrators view point, but rather what I experience when I'm behind the wheel of my Red 1992 348 TS! It just happened this afternoon! Also of note is that I just celebrated my 65 Birthday and a SURPRIZE PRESENT from Ken was letting me DRIVE his 2014 458 Italia Spyder of the same color seen here! It was a HELL of a RIDE and present! David Curro

[@dcurro1]

Minato Abe Really? A simple search of my name shows several videos of our car. You might also look at my Facebook Page for further proof. I ‘ m not sure why you would have such an opinion. Sad

[@dcurro1]

Minato Abe surprising that your time is so precious to you yet you make untruthful statements. I feel sorry for you.

[@dcurro1]

Minato Abe LOL.

[@MrGaryGG48]

Now David, THAT'S a birthday present! That beats the hell out of a piece of cake and a nice tie! ;^)

[@andreas.abrahamsson]

After watching this video, I'm pleased to say that your name is right up there with Chris Harris and Henry Catchpole. Excellent review with a great story to back it up. Not just meaningless rubber squealing. And hats off to the film crew as well. Beautifully shot and edited!

[@timcasey5835]

What a wonderful piece of automotive journalism - that’s the kind of article you’d expect to find in print in something like Car magazine - it’s pretty rare to find this type of piece made into a video and I’m very grateful - really good and it’s not often I learn something new - I didn’t know the details about Dino and the homage his Father paid him, really quite moving - thank you. Tim

[@Halfmoon67]

Another fantastic video by xcar! Thanks for the amazing work you guys are doing!

[@funkymony7k]

This was so good in every way. I love how you did the history of the mid engined layout and the v8 powered Ferrari. Looking forward to seeing more from this channel Y

[@funkymony7k]

Sorry for the typo and I would love to see a behind the scenes or something on they lines. Thanks

[@vikram.SumerSingh]

[@cybertree]

Wow, Ferrari just went up alot of points in my book. I had no idea he was such a good father and was looking out for us average chaps without a million bucks laying around. This really blew my mind, I think I'm going to start hunting for a Dino :).

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

Is it mean that the son's name was used for the peasant brand; whilst daddy's name was used for the best products??

Dino is the child of Ferrari in both senses, so not so much

[@hayn98]

I was thinking the Same thing but not on those exact word.

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

I wouldn't look at it as a lesser thing but as a change in a new direction that spawned a whole new breed of car and as a result ,"bad ass'ness"! .*)

[@DanishKingKong]

This video gave me the goosebumps, it took me back to one of the best endings of a TopGear season final "End of an era" the review about the Aston Martin Ventage V12. Well im sure that this video was greatly inspired by that episode too. But the vibe on both is kinda sad.

[@dariushmilani6760]

Fantastic introduction.

[@tjay84]

Awesome video!! And I agree totally with Dino's importance in Ferrari's history.. Butt.. Since the 458 is only available with a DCT gearbox.. The only real old-school supercar left is actually an Audi R8.. A mid engined, naturally aspirated engine with the option of a manual gearbox..

[@Karanevoix]

True. My dream supercar would be the Gallardo LP550-2 Balboni. 6 speed manual, RWD and a beautiful V10.

[@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN]

The germans don't do 'real' supercars. A 4WD Audi doesn't credit any comparisons to the great prancing horse. The guy above me is bang on - a Balboni would be most petrol-heads dream ride. RWD, N/A V10 & a gated 6 speed. Germans ruin everything with their clinical approach, Lamborghini isn't what it was 10 years ago since the sausage eaters got hold of it...

[@tjay84]

IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN I agree that I would prefer the R8 to be RWD.. But there is no running from the fact that the R8 is the only manual supercar left.. :)

[@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN]

tjay84 The Noble M600 comes straight to mind. Essentially a Ferrari F40 in 2014. It's not the biggest name in the business but the cars had universal critical acclaim since it came around. RWD, 600BHP, NO ELECTRIC ASSISTS AND A PROPER MANUAL... People should be supporting these guys who still make proper drivers cars instead of jumping on the german bandwagon.

[@ezekielk.3629]

IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN Finally someone mention the elusive Noble M600! Yes I fully agreed with you that the M600 is the 21st Century Ferrari F40 No Nonsense No Traction Controls A Proper 6-Speed Rifle-Click Manual Gearbox Mid-Engine RWD 600bhp Twin Turbo Simplistic Interior Try driving it half awake and it will send you straight into the wall.
