[@SupremeChief1]

Tyre Reviews give me a 458 Spider any day!

[@ChillipikanterieCz]

Or simply any Ferrari :D

[@LeNath75]

one thing's fore sure, I wouldn't pay a penny for that paint...

[@harrychristophercomia2610]

Saw your name and it makes sense lol

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha, I get where you are coming from

[@LeNath75]

It was quite satisfying to hear you acknowledge so..For the record, I didn't sleep for days before you wrapped your 718 ;-)

[@timmy9796]

Yea, the last thing we need are more white cars

[@WebbyOnCars]

Awesome car Sam, it must be amazing for a Ferrari fan like yourself to get to drive these fantastic machines! Keep up the great work!

[@andybrown5624]

Once again, another fabulous video! Thanks for the content Sam!!

[@AutomotiveMike]

Still would go for the n/a 458 V8!

[@lifethroughoptics]

Man, loved the video. Very nice comedic touches 👍

[@ivansheehan1632]

Another great video! Staying tuned for more 360 adventures to come!

[@imranpatel4612]

I really needed this video to improve my day. Thank you Sam!

[@davidgilbertjewellery737]

Enjoyed that - thanks!

[@bossdefender8037]

Are you sure that this 488 Spider isn't already yours? The number plate looks suspiciously like your full name! ;)

[@bossdefender8037]

Don't worry, I'm just kidding! :D

[@AleksisA88]

yes I heard his name is Ferrari North Europe

[@sensationfails7500]

Check out Emmas older instagram posts. It's the same Ferrari

[@TRAINZRoCristi]

A.A. Photography loool

[@anonymousmind]

A.A. Photography his name is Sam Fane I'm pretty sure e

[@74maverickuk]

Quality video 😀 Keep up the brilliant work 😀

[@Zed_Zone]

Great video... Surprisingly enjoyable 👍🏾

[@SaurabhMhatre619]

Do the sell the engine as option to

[@soubido]

Wait so what does the 17k carbon exterior pack includes when everything from the front spoiler to the sideskirts to the diffuser are all extra??

[@xVwraithVx]

What doug score does it get

[@Pyroguy92]

ive been more relaxed on adderall than you are regularly haha love the content as always :)

[@lello1007]

nice video!!! more of this with other cars!!!

[@robertl2856]

330k......i would be scared to drive it ! Great item thanks

[@joseluismonterofernandez9261]

thumbs up for that Federer and Nadal clip! Cool video Sam!

[@RoflOnMyWaffle.]

I did indeed enjoy this Sam. Always nice to see what the 1% spec. I think some of those prices are insane, the door sills for example. Its more than some of the more intricate pieces by quote some distance! I think Ferrari are taking the micky a bit, but hey, I'm not their demographic market. Keep up the good work!

[@jordanbanko5347]

Great video as usual Sam! Have a question for you. Have you noticed any cowl shake or fidgeting when going over bumps with the roof down? I know it was a largely discussed issue for the 458 spider on Ferrari Chat. Let me know your thoughts.

[@BangAverageRider]

Good video.. It was good to see a full spec (exterior) supercar

[@krb944]

i dont get the hype for cosmetic carbon fiber parts, its basicaly just fancy plastic.

[@_chenn]

Can tell you don't get it based on that comment 😂

[@allensaunders449]

krb944 no it isn't it's beautiful and done well very strong and lightweight

[@diazzsama]

carbon fiber for non structural part just as strong as lego plastic

[@krb944]

yeah it is strong and lightweight, but it doesnt make any difference when used in cabin trim, might as well be plain abs plastic

[@_chenn]

diazzsama agreed. Usually only two/three plies thick.

[@conormaher8535]

Great work. More of this... and a gti mk5 maybe

[@lackofsanity9329]

How much does the key cost

[@muhammadrayyan7783]

you'd have to be pretty dull to pay 19k for a white paint.

[@giuseppelapomarda598]

I'm in love with the colour😍😍😍😍😍

[@MercuryF12]

If you have the money to pay for the car you also might have the money to pay for the extras, if I had to buy one I would pay the money for the extra options and have a car that love how it looks rather than having one which don't like so much cause of the exterior/interior

[@CensoredByYouTube965]

Mercury_F12 Having the money isn't the question, but giving it to the greedy fucks at Ferrari is. I wouldn't give them a cent even if I were a billionaire. I bet this car doesn't cost 100K to build fully optioned.

[@Yoshimurha]

1:07 - 1:16, was there a pretty big gap between bumper and hood there or was it just the camera-angle?

[@henryhol8538]

Yoshimurha - You will see from 8.54 there are two small ventilation grills in front of the bonnet (hood) which gives the appearance as if there is a panel gap in the early part of the video.

[@Yoshimurha]

Ah ok, Then I see. Thanks for the explanation!

[@robertgoeljr997]

With a dark interior, the white paint would help with heat deflection and preserve your interior. Especially, if you live in a place like here in Texas where the summer days can be brutal.

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

Can i get mine in primer ? I'm sure i could match that paint for about 900$ .

[@MagicSkeleton]

I was just trying to find out how much the scud shields are...so thanks!

[@Macki1287]

You got the exterior and interior "sill kick cover" wrong. the outer Part close to the ground is around 5 Grand, the "carbon fiber outer sillkick" saying "Ferrari" are around 1000 and are between the seat and the door. it is completely confusing, and i got it wrong when i looked at the pricelist too.

[@veereshsangolliV12]

I'm surprised they even give you a car at 220 GRAND 😒

[@vtech5635]

I've seen a 650k GBP massive spec 488GTB in Hong Kong, Rosso F1 paint, full carbon exterior & interior, carbon shields, carbon wheel centre, triple racing stripe, Italian flag on the steering, tailor made interior, etc. Some insane buyer ordered it and refused the deposit, the car has been sitting in the Hong Kong dealer for several months...

[@emilyw3192]

Those shields cost about the same as my first car 😂😂😂

[@LukkiiBoy]

Liked the inclusion of memes/GIFs for today’s video, you should do it more often!

[@sayfami3927]

I see why everyone is giving Paul of sol a tough time, my guy Sam is killing it, production

[@SChapps]

Small bit of carbon on the door sills that you don't touch and don't see most of the time, that would otherwise come as a nice classy metal finish anyway - £5k Carbon racing seats that look cooler, shed weight and actually help the driving experience - £6k The seats are an absolute bargain tbh.

[@FF-qv8en]

Sam buggered the price of those sill kicks. They are £1152 for the pair.

[@jaredgreen5305]

Sam, your channel is soo much better than Paul's SOL.. keep doin what you're doin brother!

[@henryhol8538]

Amazing video! Wouldn't an owner loose money when selling a similar speced car in 5 years time? How many people (apart from 'pigeon'(AHR) critics) will actually notice the difference between real carbon fiber and that applied by a top customizing outfit. Thats about 20grand saving right there. Just remove it in five years time when you sell.

[@alecedmisten7639]

I love your t-shirt.. awesome car show

[@luxanthurai]

For the 488, there were a few factory spec’d to the historic colour without the shield 🛡 true to the original 308gtb which the car is based on, super rare cars

[@paddydowney6269]

The white seat stitching for £400 sounds like a relative bargain!

[@ag3127]

it's simple. Ferrari wants to rip people off on those ridiculously priced options

[@allensaunders449]

A G true but they are not alone in doing that

[@diazzsama]

every super car manufacturer do that

[@ag3127]

Allen Saunders options on McLaren and lamborghini are quite a lot cheaper i think

[@marickshorts]

yes but the people who can afford ferrari's have ripped people off getting their money so the circle goes round then

[@61js]

LD #22 Not really . It's called economies of scale / supply and demand .You pay ridiculous amounts of money for limited production runs , which applies to any manufactured goods . If Ferrari et al made a million of these things they'd cost peanuts , simple as that .

[@avii5429]

I was playing along and my total would be around 250k. I don't understand the appeal of Carbon Fiber, I've personally helped build racecar parts from it (Bonnets and fenders) and frankly, it's glorified plastic. I don't understand, It's not expensive! You can literally buy a 50x50" sheet of the weave for like $25USD and 25oz of Resin for another $25USD. Mold your part out of modeling clay if you don't have something to copy, or like we did, use an existing fender and modify it so the mold reflects the modified shape, cover with layers of plastic wrap, apply mold release wax to the plastic wrapped fender, layer over fiberglass pieces and coat with resin to create a negative mold. Wait till it's dry then separate it from the fender and clean it up. Then from that master mold of the fender, you can then layer more plastic and release wax into it, then start applying resin soaked alternating layers of carbon weave, depending on your resin choice, leave to set for a couple hours, pull from the mold, and again, depending on resin choice, you can heat treat in the oven but generally not necessary. Voila, Carbon Fiber parts, Someone please explain to me where the cost comes in, because it really isn't that hard, nor time consuming. I suppose it's difficult for machines to do it, so mass production may be the problem, I could see panels being rejected for the weave being misaligned, I would. Still not worth my money.

[@muhammadrayyan7783]

Avinash Mahabirsingh any supercar would charge a ridiculous amount of money for carbon parts. eg: carbon parts for a Ford GT would cost 10x more than for a Focus.

[@avii5429]

Muhammad Rayyan Yeah no shit, doesnt change the fact that even on a Ford GT, its glorified plastic. The value doesn't change because a manufacturer says so.

[@martingetliffe]

Have you got the money to pay for it then?

[@Vantage3001]

Yknow like shoes that are £60 cost

[@Jaybop20]

£19k for a bloody paint job. Sod that I’ll take what ever colours free and get wrapped. Top video again Sam 👍

[@miguela.alvarez7284]

I hate to be the one It's one of my favorite cars. But what's up with the bonnet? It's beautiful is the just the camera angles contrast to the light?..

[@scofair1968]

Just have a look at those body panel gaps at 2:05 between bonnet and front bumper assembly together with the door bottom corner at 7:36. It may of course be the camera angle, but something doesn't look quite right?!?!

[@henryhol8538]

scofair 1968 - There are two small grills near the front edge of the bonnet (8.55) that give the illusion the panels are missaligned.

[@scofair1968]

henryhol8538 ahh i'm with you. Yeah can see that now ..... not keen though!

[@petersymonds1920]

Did you give it a Doug score?

[@FalconXE302]

One thing for sure, the makers of these super cars really take advantage of the fact that the buyers have a lot of disposable cash... Ferrari is taking advantage of your hard work to get where you are, and taking you, the buyer, for a "ride"... somewhat literally....

[@jamespugh]

Awsom vodeo from the person who loves Ferrari.

[@ottob9356]

The 720S isn’t really your favourite car.. What do you like so much more with the 488?

[@richboycoleman1]

I have adaptive headlights on my Ford Focus as standard and the car was sub £30k! 1400 quid for them from Ferrari!!

[@bipingurung135]

I have the same car but with creme interior it rocks!

[@mha2263]

The black callipers alone cost more than my summer holiday 😂😂😂

[@globanxiety]

bianco fuji?

[@natebot321]

Please, show us all the quirks and features of this car, take it for a drive, and then give it a SamScore.

[@NicShacklock]

This made me chuckle

[@NYCexotics]

Why do you like the daytona seats... ya i guess white/black it makes sense but when people do cream/red or any other combo for that matter they look horrendous! The ‘goldbrake racing seats’ look sooo much better and almost no1 seems to spec them.

[@Reznot]

So what does actually carbon package have? :D

[@rhysowen9566]

2500GBP for a tiny passenger display with about 6 pixels that already looks 10 years old would have to be the most ridiculous optional extra on this list.

[@jamesavickers5961]

Got your self some excellent persol sunglasses at last

[@AmDsus2Fmaj7Am]

What about the quirks and the Samscore? 😜

[@4039byrne]

For the same price of that car you could get a decent 3 bed detached house in a nice location, 2 used volkswagen golf r's, a 2 week Florida holiday and money left over to kit out the house with furniture and gadgets.....

[@Ruudy48431]

07:28 Maximum speed from the trip: 114mph? Haha

[@roadlethals]

I love the spec of that 488

[@leelifeson9150]

Love this car

[@adriankatsikides3390]

well you know all those extra costs for the plastic bits, I would prefer them in stainless,I am not into carbon plastics, each to their own I suppose.Does look nice in white - but matt? looks like it's undercoat

[@keithbeef]

Does a base 488 have steel wheels and roll up windows? Everything is a damn option.

[@marcarsenault7585]

Out of all that, I'd consider paying for the seats (depending on how they feel sitting in them) and the front and rear cameras. Everything else seems like a waste (ok maybe those badges on the sides).

[@spadgm]

Nice car, but I would save some money and just get a good spec 458 with a crazy exhaust! lol.

[@FalconXE302]

When are guys like you going to get onto 4k Video's... would make your channel so much better.

[@alexs.8422]

Let me guess. Because it has options that bring the price up to 330k, or it has been tuned by a company to bring the price to 330k. It’s a Ferrari, not that crazy to be that much regardless of base price.

[@kepi18]

I did the math and the 17k outside pack is not a pack price for the outside it is a stand alone pack and for that reason I am out

[@ChristianrnstrupRasmussen]

U're right it's ridiculous. For that kind of money a Rolls Royce Dawn with an exhaust system like Jon Olson's Wraith would be a better companion.

[@icebreakertech]

They can charge whatever because Ferrari. The Mazda MX5 ceramic white has the same effect and cost a hell of a lot cheaper.

[@asm0240]

I would have a Aventador s over that for the same price any day!

[@danielmullins9953]

Goose 22 or a Performante or 812 and £80,000 in your bank account

[@sniperjtg]

812 with options would cost the same as this

[@samcooper5748]

In speccing my friends new 812 all the exterior carbon totals £35000

[@Rifz94]

Some of those ticked options cost more than my own car 🤯

[@fffmmm2233]

That's how u do a review ..cool.

[@yardelli]

Bonkers price for what is supposed to be the mid-range level Ferrari. Whats the point in having Triple-layer paint if its Matte? Triple-layer normally adds depth of shine..... The Mirrors are there to self-dim Sam yes.

[@DennedTV]

6000 for the seats seems like a mega bargain when the b-pillar trim costs 2000

[@bayside_baller]

Did Ferrari mention how much weight saving all these carbon fibre parts save Sam?

[@MrAnderson321]

An informative video but 100k on options that the majority of people including Ferrari owners wouldn’t even realise - ridiculous!!...a standard 488 Spider turns heads without all those cosmetic options anyway!

[@TropicielPablo]

7:53 When you're into the options list too much.

[@CodeCommand]

Literally every one using Doug's KZbin title

[@jerrybillings3039]

*Don't care if it costs that much...it STILL looks like a rental car that you'd get in Vegas..*

[@timmy9796]

4:46 *carbon underdoor cover

[@timmy9796]

carbon hubcaps, hell yea. Just missing the roof in Nero DS1250

[@gazzabrownhigh8891]

Lol, the plaque is even missing a few in a typical Italian way. Ferrari certainly know how to FLEECE customers.When will the steering wheel be an option ?

[@TWEECH45]

Top of the morning to ya. You must buy this car. Toodle lou

[@hoopsbreaker]

The question is, will I be able to option the car in my option list? 🤔

[@ananthukrishnan692]

I would rather buy a 720s in white

[@Chrissy-H]

White is the best colour for the 720s.

[@seenthroughglass]

With a carbon bonnet? :)

[@ananthukrishnan692]

Definitely 😎

[@cutdepiefails6596]

They are great if they worked well.

[@igorstefanovski7131]

I have respect for you Sam so I will not use bad words in your chanel! But that sum of money is absolutely insane! I love old Ferraris but this peace of junk...for that money...and extras..."mmm if you want to have keys of you car you will need to pay extra 12.000,00 pounds, and if you want to have wheels it will be 42.000,00 pounds extra. Or you can pay only two wheels and keep the car in garage. for two wheels extra 38.000,00 pounds".

[@mata2618]

Ferrari's pricing for some options make no sense Adaptive headlights is cheaper than apple car play which in a normal hatchback would cost £200

[@Bluepipe]

Those door handles though. Surely they could come up with something better looking or sleeker. Is it just me that thinks they look way out of place?

[@Mite204]

i like the dog :)

[@footballgeorgiebest]

That car has no character

[@Asterngeisha]

400k for racing seats in a 330k car sounds a bit excessive 😂
