Ferrari 430 Review (Part 2) | Top Gear

[@philipcollier263]

“How was work darling?” “Oh not too bad. I just had to race the Ferrari test driver in their new convertible.”

[@halomiksa]

A Ferrari test driver... Is there a better job then that? I mean, you get paid thousands of euros to actually drive the newest Ferraris on the track as fast as you want...

[@vendettaanon6044]

Miki yes there is a better job , its called pagani test driver 😏

[@utopianfurbiscuit]

Sean Fulton Absolutely.. it IS a scripted show after all.. I guarantee they told the professional test driver to LET Jeremy keep up with him...

[@manavjogia]

@@utopianfurbiscuit maybe ferrari told him to be slow cause ferrari makes a lot of money of spider version of cars

[@mjfeeney775]

Jeremy gets to drive everything, so to have the reaction he has at 2:08, it reminds me exactly how much I need this car in my life...

[@rolon-ew5kl]

When I get rich buying a F430 with a gated manual transmission

[@michaelblaes9847]

The convertible with the gated manual in metallic light blue. My dream car. I saw one in Santa Barbara in 96' and it was beyond gorgeous. The most perfect car.

I can imagine The Stig getting quite a stern telling off from Ferrari after he hit the tyre wall at 6:24.

[@yishunny]

But he won't bother anyway, stig doesn't talk

[@cahaloboyle7086]

Ben Collins said in his book they didn’t mind at all. “El stig, a never worry. We’a crash at Fiorano everyday” I think was the quote

[@rasmus6818]

This seems like a really silly test. The Ferrari test driver can just go slower to let Jeremy keep up. The test should have been the opposite way around, with Jeremy in the coupe and the Ferrari test driver in the convertible.

[@faolan1686]

Rasmus Nielsen 0.3s difference in the lap time with the Stig at the wheel.

[@justahyundai]

This being a documentary they technically can't falsify things that need to be presented as factual

[@Eidrian111]

@@justahyundai it isn’t a documentary, idiot, LOL.

[@justahyundai]

@@Eidrian111 It's a factual program genius. Imagine being you omg A Ferrari test driver primarily drives on Fiorano which is an extremely fast circuit. Clarkson would have all the experience on the Top Gear power circuit which is all about braking points and throttle input due to all the slow corners. No reason Clarkson can't tail the hardtop for a few laps especially with the help of being in the coupe slipstream. You really have no idea.

[@kb9072]

Surely people would say the test driver has more talent than Clarkson so of course he kept up with the coupe.

[@LukeValentino]

I actually own the convertible 430, and it truly is an amazing car!! I take it for a spin down to the market once in a while.... People hate me!

The rear on the Challenge Stradale looks better. The 458 Italia is prettier overall.

[@AuRennes.z2]

You not a fan of the GTC4Lusso? It's a N/A V12 and looks amazing imo . . I'm a huge Ferrari fan but until the F12 came out and then the Lusso I was underwhelmed.

[@jasonjung6433]

La Ferrari?

[@LP640ROADSTERdk]

I think the Pirellis are a softer compound, and i think the Bridgestones are run-flat tires, so that may affect grip a fair bit

[@johnforeman634]

You’re right. I remember putting pirellis on my 348. It seemed like no time passed before a mechanic said to me “oh, by the way, you need tires. These are bald”. I almost fell over. I just put brand new ones on and they’re already done?? I don’t even drive hard at all! I’ll never buy those again.

Sorry, forgot to answer the question. Beautiful cars for my oppinion (in this category) are: Maybach Exelero (front & side, ugly from behind), TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (1998), of course Ford GT40 & GT (the new one), Lamborghini Murcielago 670 sv (but my favourite is Reventon, that's a killah).. if we take a wider angle, then I would add 1969-1973 Corvette, 1966 Mustang Shelby GT and AC Cobra.. That is a beauty..

yeah, the F1 gearbox is an option (as said in part 1) but almost all of them on the road are without a clutch

They all have the exact same clutch. The difference is the F1 is shifted hydraulically whereas the manual is, well it’s obvious.

[@christianangus4753]

I think I rather choose the old 360 CS than the F430. Cuz on that year the 430 scuderia doesn't made.

Without looking I'm guessing the 360 was lighter than the 430. And their small test track clearly gives an advantage to lighter cars over more powerful ones.

[@Whooosah]

LMAO at 3:31 the lady on the right is clapping her sticks!!

[@THE_ICON_OF_SIN]

The choice of tires on a supercar make all the difference in the world buddy. On everyday cars performance isnt an issue so pretty much any tire will do. On a high performance car tires make or break the car. Special compounds, tread patterns, size, etc all matter. If you dont believe me take a look at how much F1 teams spend on tires and tire development.

[@crocodilewerewolf]

"if when you look in the mirror you like jose mourinho, then you can have the top down" hahahaha i can't think of a better person to drive that car hahaaha

[@watchoutch]

I drove the spider a month ago, it's awesome!

[@Georgeous129]

@sgsawant absolutely, but they also proved that really well by putting jezza in the convertible. he may well be a slower driver than the test driver so if he can keep up behind the coupe, that proves its very possible

[@MrSantihomer]

right now jeremy has a mercedes clk amg black, a land rover and i think he has a healey aswell may has a panda, an f430 and a citroen ami hammond has an old london taxi, an opel kadet, an e-type jag, a range rover and 2 defenders. all this is as far as i know, they might have more

I own the Spider . A beautiful 08. I can’t imagine why anyone would buy a coupe when you can have that open top. It looks way better, it’s lower, sleek looking.
