Definitely a big thumbs up to any Ferrari that isn't in a resale red 👍

[@tienou75]

Most of every cars are black, white or grey. Red, blue or yellow sport cars are a better choice in my opinion. And the red interior is hidious !

[@DM-ye9mm]

stunning car but i'll bet it lacks that upgrade that you recently installed on your golf.

[@NickMurray]

That upgrade really is a must

[@henryzhang9915]

best 458 review on youtube! I watched it only because it's Nick.

[@BernonCars]

Oooof, just clicked and I already know this is gunna be good

[@MBisFrenchy]

I like the interior colors with the yellow contrast. The exterior color is great too.

[@peppino9255]

Ronald McDonald interior

[@vondoken]

I love it, your puppy is just chillin in the back seat.

[@johnadams2933]

Love you videos. Just bought the "it burns when I pee" shirt. Give me a holler if you come down to Florida and want to drive a twin turbo r8 or fisker karma.

[@vatsalbhatnagar5221]

John Adams wow those r some really cool cars !

[@redlinexi]

I love how Tui is always along for the ride of your racing shenanigans, Nick. Trying to nap while you briskly accelerate up to the 55 mph speed limit alongside a Ferrari.

[@wills2095]

Poor Tui trying to nap in the back seat and your ripping through gears!

[@MTobin1000]

My day brightens significantly when I look in my email notifications and see that I have a new Nick Murray and Tui video. Life is pretty darn good, isn't it?!! (Mike in Ohio)

[@angry.8]

Love the 4th gear launch! Can’t beat the power to weight ratio on those Ferrari’s.

[@Closertotruth2]

Angry 8 Can you say GT2RS. Even GT3RS and TurboS are close enough to be nearly the same.

[@ealonsoify]

The way you was laughing had me crying 😂😂 you was in 4 gear 😂😂

[@integrafreak1]

7:55 Anyone else find it awesome when such expensive cars are actually driven and dirty? Also, lovely spec!!

[@konkombotis5549]

Ohh Nick, all I want for Christmas is for you to win a drag race.

[@NickMurray]

I think it is going to be a disappointing Christmas : )

[@DOWDFILMS1]

458’s are special and now is the time to buy one with their market value. Definitely would have one in the stable!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Great video Nick! Super jealous, I still have only driven 1 Ferrari in my life for about 15 minutes and haven't driven the 458 yet.

[@NickMurray]

I think it is best not to drive Ferrari's they make everything else seem a bit boring : )

[@danielallocca7770]

Has been and will always be, the best. Raw emotion and passion exudes throughout.

[@ankbrq]

If it was a 488 with twin turbos instead of the 458, I have doubts that the car will make you feel special as the 458 does. The unfiltered sound, power building up characteristics and the throttle response of the 458 is something else.

[@freerkderuiter8822]

Yellow seat belts in a red interior. Tacky. Could be worse though, red seatbelts in a yellow interior.

[@bradenmchenry995]

Freerk de Ruiter it’s not that bad. Yellow stitching and the seatbelts contrast with the brakes. looks quite nice in my opinion

[@freerkderuiter8822]

Braden McHenry, are you by any chance a fan of Superman?

[@FishFind3000]

Or McDonald’s s

[@irfaanmoolla]

T Shirt Idea: "I ALWAYS LOSE DRAG RACES!"

[@RandallJT84]

Gotta love that sweet Ferrari sound! 4.5 v8 nearly 600 hp.. what a monster! Nice vid Nick! Would you ever consider getting rid of your Porsche for a 458??

[@y2ksierra]

If I owned this car I would definitely use your stamp on a daily basis 😀

[@wills2095]

LOL @ the wiggling ears!

[@314jrock]

Dark blue and yellow brake calibers is so nice.

[@James-hb6ee]

REALLY like the spec on that 458. I am OK with the yellow stitching. The deep blue was awesome too!

[@vnaar3269]

I think the best part of this video is the dog sitting in the back of the porche hes just chilling

[@LegendInThaMakin]

“I’ve seen this movie before, the Porsche guy loses” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MBisFrenchy]

Amazing car. Only concern when used and possibly higher miles worst case scenario is the transmission if it goes its 25-32K depending on the dealer to replace. Rebuilds generally don't hold dealer said when it happened to a friend's car which had the same transmission but a California with 9K miles. It can be the sensors in the transmission that go bad which is a couple thousand to have fixed, but if that doesn't work you are in some serious trouble.

[@topdawg1692]

love the Ferrari spec, the yellow stitching is incredible

[@me61ic]

You are so brave to mount your dslr camera out of the car with a suction cup... I have not have the guts yet to mount my gopro in the oem gopro suction cup, I mounted it my son's power wheels once and it fell off!, I don't know if it is because it is plastic. I was thinking of a way to double protect it in case the suction cup falls but has not come with anything yet...

[@treatb09]

they inject the fuel at moment of combustion? how does that work? wouldn't the pressure of 14 to 1 in the chamber push on the fuel being injected? and if not then wouldn't the fuel have to be a higher pressure than 14 to 1 before injection?

[@claussalt8081]

That car sooo suits you Nick. We are away in our VW T5 Campervan right now, and guess what, it’s raining!

[@gpshouse45]

It looks like a first gen. NSX... Your dog is chillaxing.... so funny..

[@piperbob2]

What a good-looking car - I like the contrast between the dark blue exterior and the red leather interior.

[@Mod2Fame]

Thanks for sharing Nick

[@NickMurray]

See you at the drag brother!

[@Mod2Fame]

Nick Murray 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 can't wait

[@FezzaYT]

Loved the video Nick. I have a 360 and looking to upgrade to a 458 next year. I drove one recently and it's a massive leap forward. Prefer the 458 to the 488 too as it's the last of the NA cars.

[@roadcarsmagazine]

This is by far one of my favorite modern sports cars. Nice video.

[@feedingthetreeproductions254]

I love that color on the 458. You didn't talk about the firmness of the ride. How is on I95? Looks a little jarring.

[@tui8367]

Amazing car nice review Nick. I lately got a ride in a Maserati Granturismo. Man what a machine!

[@TheBobodrink]

Not true at all. A GT3, GT3RS, GT2RS and even the Turbo S are 911s too, and most of the models I mentioned run rings around the 458. They also demand huge dollars which is comparable to the more flamboyant counterparts, so how are they a poor man's sports car...So is a Cayman a poverty sport car? what about a Miata...

[@NickMurray]

I was not talking about performance wise, I was talking price wise.

[@TheBobodrink]

I see! Still don't think the high end 911 models are that far off from Ferrari though, especially secondary market.

[@K1dPhresh1]

I like the red interior and don't mind the yellow. Should've toned down the red a bit with black carpeting and more black on the door cards. I think that would've been more tasteful, but when I can afford a $300K car, I'll do whatever the hell I want so.... The exterior is beautiful. Nice choice.

[@Ppp2r2a]

Your dog was trying to have a nap haha

[@avonbarksdale146]

Where are you getting these cars to drive?

[@svo4459]

What's that violin piece in the intro called? I've been searching for it for months

[@jameswillard1]

I recently had a chance to drive a 458 Spider very similar to this car and it is an exceptional vehicle, however 2 particular things that were surprising about the car was the amount of body twist/shake over rough roads when the top was down and I know I am alone in my opinion on this next one but I really didn’t think it sounded that great.....the exhaust valve does this open/close thing around 3k RPM and it’s very annoying and sounds a bit contrived. Maybe it’s my memory but I rode in a 355 Spider many years ago and I remember that car sounding incredible and having an amazing shriek at high revs, the 458 completely lacked that same sensation. Also, was the pavement cold when you tested it or the tires perhaps worn based on the back end trying to step out like that? It’s s mid engine car with not a lot of low end torque from that high revving V8 and I didn’t notice the slightest bit of wheel spin at all when I drove it

[@NickMurray]

355 is the best sounding by far

[@jameswillard1]

Kal El ok, atleast I wasn’t imagining it being better than it was.....sounds incredible and exactly like I remember

[@cosmopolitan6808]

you should have pushed the bumpy road button on the steering wheel ;-) then it will drive fine also on secondary roads ;-) It is also imho mandatory to install a aftermarket exaust flap (remote) control unit to keep the flaps as open as you like it and to listen to the sound of freedom. I just came back from a 2000km tour through northern italy with my 458 spider and it was absolutely awesome!!! had also big fun on the stelvio pass ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX-qoXejjLOknpY

[@Pasovineyard]

Rolling art

[@commanderrussels2612]

I like the 458 better than the 488. The 458 really does sound better and it has the last of that Ferrari charm, a little rough around the edges. The 488s are almost too good, digital feeling - like their soul was lost. That and now that they are public they are making a billion of them. The black + red combo isn't for me, I think they look best in Tour De France blue with tan. The internet photos don't do it justice, in person the blue is spectacular.

[@burakcaliskanman9316]

Perfect video perfect sound

[@michaels3897]

Started sharing your vids, Nick. Comment I got back on this one was "why is there a toad driving a gorilla around in a Fiat?" Just so you know...love your vids!

[@NickMurray]

Sounds about right!

[@michaellui74]

Great video. How reliable is 458 in general???? Thank you:-):-):-

[@fakez06sean98]

That Ferrari interior is so insane. Can't imagine looking at it all the time.

[@FrankBarryLuv]

Nice review, excellent music, good filming angles, big thumbs up from a non-curable Ferraristi from Upper Bavaria

[@venom5809]

That's a really high spec 458 Spider, it's very nice.

[@artagain8977]

Hat's off to this owner for driving it in the Northeast's winter.

[@iantownsend500]

Love that Blue but I’d have tan interior with a black dashboard with black steering wheel

[@ziongeeratz9963]

Hahahhahaha, I'm in fourth gear. that laugh 😂

[@NYCexotics]

Daytona seats look terrible!! I have not seen a two tone daytona seat combination that didnt look terrible. And that yellow with red oh boy..

[@juanmaldonado3281]

AWESOME. REVIEW. TNKS. VERY. PROFECIONAL. AND. SUPER. TNKS

[@espperre]

What part of Mexico was this filmed in?

[@petegrimes4648]

I'm surprised. I thought the new turbo 911s where quicker than this. The KZbinrs saying 0-60 in 3.2ish. Motortrend vs vette had it

[@bogfinken]

Finally a car review with no rap music! 👍

[@AunRaza77]

Would it be considered as comfortable as your Porsche for a daily drive? I wouldn't think so?

[@thefridgeman]

These Spiders (Ferrari, McLaren, etc) look more and more like Targas to me. You are surrounded more and more by pillars and metal. Is the car still having the "shrink-wrap" on its floor mats?! No comment on the interior color...

[@HeidiandFranny]

Lol. Nick, had you worn the same shirt and not ‘fessed up’ to camera issue (although I did laugh at the sky shot - only because I can completely relate), I would not have noticed the break in filming. I kept expecting to see blue and red in your mirror when you were driving the 458. You smoked your cameraman. Wow. Fast car. I totally want this car, but Franny has me looking at more practical cars for us. BTW. Our F car is RED!!! Is the yellow Ferrari in the same category as the yellow Porsche? Franny wants a yellow 355 Spyder. I will take any color of 458. Heidi

[@NickMurray]

I want a 355 spyder as well but we say no to YELLOW!!

[@Samfamson]

Did I read that right? 458 0-60 2.9sec? I thought it was 3.4 approx

[@mistermister8593]

Brave man mounting your DSLR externally

[@steffydog]

Simply awesome, 458’s nice too 👍

[@richryan8904]

Fourth gear! Man that was funny!!

[@TedwardDrives]

ketchup and mustard spec!

[@jeromelangenderfer8853]

Another great video! Loved the color.

[@RedbackRecordz]

Would love to see you do a vid on the latest Corvettes Nick! That would be awesome

[@alanshultz5856]

Awesome review again. Like those sunglasses, can share the model and brand? Thanks!

[@NickMurray]

They are Ray Ban 3404 however they stopped making them about 5 years ago but come up on ebay from time to time

[@moneyblade5]

That interior screams depreciation!

[@CatnamedMittens]

moneyblade5 Doesn't scream depression

[@BalkanBoyBiH]

you cannot afford it anyway lol

[@scottsherman7069]

CarPassion How do you know he can't? Even if he can't, why does it matter?

[@CatnamedMittens]

CarPassion Shit I know I can't

[@moneyblade5]

CarPassion You are the worst accountant I have ever had.

[@scanspeak00]

The 911 must feel like a Toyota Camry after driving the 458.

[@alexserrano2850]

I don't think so. 911s are renowned for their incredible chasis.

[@HeidiandFranny]

scanspeak00 did you see? Nick smoked the cameraman in his 911. Lol.

[@porschecollector727]

I just love the armchair warriors

[@clyde5273]

Great video! Love that car

[@khusyairi]

I love your last comment at the very end of your review, "Ferrari's, theyre just so annoyingly good..."

[@Polomissen]

Dear Nick. Lets make it 540nm of torque, not 398 like the lb-ft. Deal?

[@taxi615]

lb-ft is the same but it's the north américain way of calculating torque. I'm in Canada and always have to look up what NM mean in lb-ft. as most countries dont calculate in NM anyways.

[@NickMurray]

Always a typo somewhere!

[@bradloney6238]

Loved the video.

[@meandkg]

Whats the intro song? Shazam doesn't work for this song I'm truly shocked....

[@maxxmcneil5762]

meandkg It’s from Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. This piece is Concerto No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 8, RV 297, 1st movement (Allegro non molto)

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

Based on the traction control drag race issues and the rear stepping so easily I’ll wager that that car absolutely totally needs new tires. It shouldn’t be behaving unruly like that.

[@jafu745]

570 hp on a cold day in such a light car would be a handful.

[@brutemegahunk3895]

What's up with the Elvis sunglasses Nick?

[@NickMurray]

I want to be Elvis

[@gusseisern1151]

30.000 USD for the paint tone that looks almost black. Money blown out to the window.

[@MBisFrenchy]

Next we need to get you a F12 that's a even more wild horse!

[@amolson8594]

That McDonalds interior made me hungry for french fries

[@kingcolga266]

I gotta have a red one. It’s tradition for me. Red represents Ferrari cars. Almost like Yellow for Lamborghini

[@N11-o6j]

The 458 just makes you feel special to be driving it. never wear jeans in one with light colored seats, That ill make your dad mad. Those seats love to pick up new colors. but they're really not that quick. There slower than you'd think. There's a lot of stuff in the price range that will walk a 458. Ive beat them in my daily.

[@JF-ns5zs]

486 spider in description ya silly Nick

[@NickMurray]

Ha yes! Always something. Thanks

[@michaeljkasnter]

Who was on Crack when that spec was finalised- Ronald McDonald?

[@theoa7882]

Love the exterior color, but the inside looks like your at a Mcdonalds.. a light grey or black would have suited it nicely 👍 great review Nick

[@jumboJetPilot]

You see, this proves it, a cabriolet lies in your future. And mine too...

[@theyorganics]

Question: Keeping my 911 Turbo Convertible 2015 (Black with tan interior) or trading it with 2013-2014 458 Spider (Black or Red) ?

[@thecaristascarchannel9189]

nick i love you because, ou are incredible 😂😂😂

[@joebloggs4191]

Hey Nick you should get rid of your Porsche and get yourself a Ferrari. Lol. But it is true all Ferraris are just sublime! each time I get behind the wheel of one it is such an occasion and a joyful experience, sadly I those occasions do not come about often enough!

[@alexdalton8854]

Ferrari and Vivaldi! Ahhh, Italians!

[@henryyang1996]

seems like Nick has got some idea what his next car is

[@Levent_Ergun]

nick, how long does it take becky to realise that you took her sunglasses?

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

Do you miss the intimacy of the man machine connection a manual provides? I would pay much more to Ferrari for a manual and it would still be quick.

[@NickMurray]

I think it is a real shame they don't sell them with a MT anymore

[@pabbip9]

Nick I want to see you in a Lamborghini Huracan and a review of it!

[@danielc4614]

Hey Nick, perhaps a 911 Turbo S might be a more suitable car for you? At least you will have more chances of winning drag races.

[@NickMurray]

They are a fast car but I find them less enjoyable to drive. I don't mind losing drag races : )

[@danielc4614]

Nick Murray I get what you mean, above a certain horsepower threshold, it’s just less exploitable to fully enjoy it! Btw, loving the spec on your car!
