@@radman3206 google around and you'd find articles from journalists that mention that the cars sent by Ferrari to reviewers are not the same as actual Ferrari road cars. if i was born as a rich arab i'd still take a Porsche over a Ferrari. Porsche owners actually track their cars instead of using them for "clout", making aftermarket performance parts for Porsche widely available and mature. For half mile racing, twin turbo Huracans are the best supercars that do so. my dream car is a viper though.

[@radman3206]

@@sepg5084 I'm well aware of that hoary old chestnut. Facts are Ferrari is a profitable company who, at least in my country, always presell their inventory and have a loyal customer base. Resale values speak for themselves, particularly in comparison to McLaren and Lamborghini. They have an exclusivity factor in comparison to Porsche. No offense to that brand's vehicles, but they are so common as to not be noticeable.

@@RadialSeeker113 Well the 765LT might be slightly faster than 1:10.8 the time the Pista here was on a slightly greasy track so on a more confident lap in good track conditions the Pista probably can manage a sub 1:10, that's a tall order for the new 765LT, ultimately it will probably be a bit faster BUT you have to consider nearly 2 years of engineering progress and the fact that McLaren tune their Riccardo V8 Turbos much higher than Ferrari do and that's obviously at the expense of reliability as seen on nearly all Mcalren cars, Ferrari could easily tune their V8 turbos to over 800hp easily but be less reliable but hey come on... Mclaren mask their hp numbers and even the 720s actually produces near 800hp at the crank so let's assume the 765LT produces around 840hp compared to the Pista's 710hp of course on similar tyres with 2 years extra development the 765LT will be faster, that's a no brainer BUT the question is could it beat the Pista if it only had 710hp?

Good point, reeks of desperation for a road car... desperate not to be 2nd.

[@derbigpr500]

False. First of all, all supercars usually come with a team of engineers. They don't "require it", they are just there because someone has to deliver the car and make sure it's treated properly, and then take it back to the factory. These cars aren't delivered by being driven on the road across the continent, they come on trucks. Secondly, the 488 Pista has already proven to be the fastest supercar out there on track so this result is no surprise. It beat the 720S, 911 GT2 RS, Lamborghini Huracan Performante, etc. in every comparison test by multiple journalists all over the world. Yes, even WITHOUT the engineers. Wanna see an example of that? Go to the french Motorsport Magazine videos and watch their test from earlier this year, where the Ferrari 488 Pista they had was a registered costumers car lent to them, with like 14000 km's on the clock already, and the Mclaren 720S and Porsche 911 GT2 RS were factory delivered cars with teams of factory engineers with them, and the 488 Pista wiped the floor with them on Magni-Cours anyway. It didn't even have brand new tires on it.

They supply one car for track work and another for acceleration test. They show up to every test with a shit load of engineers and basically tell the reviewer what to say. This has been documented over and over. The same reason why the acceleration of the Pista is quicker in test but a video of a customer car racing a 720s it lost and the member was banned from Ferrari chat.

[@mommaduck79]

The Pista is an absolutely fantastic car that deserves to be up there with the best of them, no doubt. But I seriously have trouble believing that it's objectively faster around a/this track than a P1. The P1 weighs almost the same, with a better power to weight ratio, has a more modern chassis, produces more downforce, and has hybrid assistance for a wider torque cruve and better torque vectoring. I just simply can't fathom the Pista being faster on the same tyres. Ferrari would surely need literal magic. The computers on-board the Pista are certainly amazing, but I can't see how that would make up the difference. I know the P1 was tested on worse tyres, but also maybe the P1 just doesn't suit the driving style of the guys at Evo? Not hating, because these guys are good drivers, but maybe the P1 is a bit more 'particular'?

[@mangewide]

Awesome!, but the shifts looks scary and not perfect. When you have to let go of the steering wheel :(..

[@icydelight3693]

Basically the Pista has the aluminium chassis of the 2015 488. It managed to obliterate the gt2rs on every track (even when they both are on cup2Rs). Besides it also destroyed Mclaren 720s. I mean a Pista with cup2 tyres,l destroys a 720s with Corsa tyres and a Pista with cup2r tyres destroys a Mclaren with TrofeoR tyres. True, Ferrari has slightly stickier tyres, but Mclaren has a carbon tub and an engine that probably produces more than 800 hp. Besides Ferrari has the best balance when it is driven at its limits, a better handling and a better engine sound than the 720s.

Its crazy to think that some people believe Ferrari's success is not deserved, as if anyone who bought a Ferrari is just an idiot, a poser and nothing more. It is sad to see so many people doubting the performance, acting as if there is something fishy going on. Well there isnt. Ferrari's latest cars are sublime. Ferrari never ever cared about being the drag champion, hence why all these shallow "car enthusiasts" out there only care about 0-400... Ferrari should be commented for the machines it has been building, especially lately. They are on a roll. Accept it and move on. You can still like and prefer your McLarens and Koenigsegs but if you are actually a true car enthusiast, you wouldnt insult this great and Historic brand this way.

3 tenths off the Rxc!! Nuff said 🤯

[@James-oo1yq]

Ferrari will never be matched. You may drive faster cars (720s) or better daily drivers (Porsche) but for sheer drama and ability Ferrari have decades of doing it perfectly!

[@porschecollector727]

And all of that drama is out the window for your weekend morning drive when you got in and check engine light is on. Fun fun!

[@baller7387]

Did you not see that the Pista beat the 720s time by a good second in semi-damp conditions, and consistently beats the 720s on virtually every track they've been tested on? Not sure what world you're living in to think the 720s is faster, but it's clearly not, lol.

[@James-oo1yq]

Baller 738 The 720 is faster in a straight line drag race...consistently.

[@baller7387]

@@James-oo1yq And you're commenting on a video in which a car is being tested on the track, and is faster around said track than the car you're saying is faster. Doesn't really make sense to say the 720s is faster in the context of the video now, does it?

[@James-oo1yq]

Baller 738 Grow up kid! Did I say it was faster round a track? I've said the 720 is faster in a straight line. Stop crying because your beloved Pista isn't cutting it for acceleration or top speed 😂 Child

[@benistingray6097]

Is the driven wheel geometry inside Ferraris tolerances as normal customers would drive them or did they just go wild for this track? If i had to guess id say its the later!

[@florisdullaart9734]

Seems like you lose some time in two corners because you hit the gas too early, lift off and hit the gas again. Looks like the mid corner speed is too low so you push it into understeer trying to make up for that.

[@sonnyreddevil69]

Bang! Game over!

[@benhook1850]

Where has Steve been all this time??? Get him back more often!!!!

[@mariobotti1952]

Imagine the new Tributo with pista specs...

[@ncsteeltoe]

This thing sounds better than the current GT3 race car.

[@MatNewtonTrio]

That sound.. ❤️

[@suttonsplash14]

Steve rules!

[@terryx8272]

It did that time because there was a Ferrari team of engineers on hand to set up the car for that track on that particular day.

[@tonygomezma]

Do you want a Kleenex?

[@nn-hz5cp]

Which would you choose? GT2RS / 488 Pista / 720s

[@icydelight3693]

Pista

[@ShadowGodOfDarkness]

720s

[@БукерДеВитт-л7з]

488 Pista

[@luke_y_444]

Pista

[@mdh00000]

Nice ...Are you planning to test Senna?

[@FearlessDreams]

I am a huge fan of FERRARI, but I can't help but wonder what did the engineers change before the lap.

[@drepark2294]

Fearless Dreams Ferrari engineers 👨‍💻 are annoying. They give you so many limitations on what the journalist can actually say, supplying one car for track work another car for acceleration test etc. Ferrari will NEVER lose in a magazine comparison. They want to control the narrative and because of the allure and their cult following and the threat of not being supplied other cars they can. They even ban members on ferrarichat due to showing the pista losing to a 720s in a race. Ridiculous

[@FearlessDreams]

@@drepark2294 my point exactly...

[@jameswilloughby5240]

So the question is if it's a "special" Ferrari press car??

[@matzepizzaheld8541]

It was fast in every test that was made till now💁‍♂️ i don’t think it’s possible to build that many press cars

[@QuickQuips]

Ferraris team of engineers is what Chris Harris whistleblew on Jalopnik and got blacklisted for.

[@sonnyreddevil69]

QuickQuips 10 years ago get over it

[@mike569112]

It gets to its redline so fast.
