One of the best things about this car, there's no stupid popping, banging or farting coming from the exhaust when changing gear.

I clicked just because I saw 458, never expected a Speciale to be tested soo soon after launch. Stunning car :)

Anyone who has a negative word to say about this video is simply ignorant. This is a very exclusive test and some savvy driving. What more could you want? Beautiful driving Steve S. and well done commentary. I can feel the cars dynamics through the screen and that is what its all about! Thanks for sharing

thanks for putting the video over the weekend

There's 2 thing missing here... The third exhaust, and the little aero dynamics grill in the front bumper, but I still love it

This is it, for me it’s the ultimate modern Ferrari! Amazing power output, high redline, the last n/a V8 from Maranello and of course a just unbelievable coherent design! Dream 🙏🏼

Feel free to give me your regular 458 when you upgrade.

Another great review. This speciale has been completely forgetting about the old 458! Great shots driving and drifting. Gotta get that creepy background music out tho... I WANT ONE!!

This is a car that will be a gem years after👍🏻

This is one epic car, nothing can beat a Ferrari in aerodynamics, downforce, grip or handling!

Give more of those behind the head camera views. I love watching the drifts around the corners. Makes me feel like i'm driving.

If I was a true high roller, I don't know if I'd want this or the F12berlinetta. Just to save myself the stress of having to decide, I'd probably just get both.

Excelent review, keep going on this way

Imagine this with a hybrid boost, incredible. For say it got the same Kers system as the LaFerrari, that puts it in the 750 hp range and the 550-600 lb-ft of torque range at 3000 lbs, that would just be insane.. Please Ferrari... Nice video, as usual AutoCar!

xD right when he said over 9000

Great video. I can see that SSC mode not being defeatable in the La Ferrari with so much power to only two drive wheels.

Great vid, 9/10 would repeat again.

Wow, I thought it would be impossible to make a scuderia successor, as pure and thrilling as the first but Ferrari have took it to a whole new level! Wish I could drive one so bad!

SUPER. AWESOME REVIEW. WAW. TNKS

Thumbs up for "Everything looks better in Slo-Mo". GT3 nice budget option though :p

Like it...I like it a lot.. over 9000 rpm.. dual clutch...paddles on the column not seeing wheel (why does most everyone get this wrong? )..normally aspirated v8..rwd..seats, harness...near 600hp... between this and the black series sls... both cars are stunning

I always adore all track focused ferrari and certainly this will be best of all.

FERRARI 458 ITALIA SPECIALE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR IN THE WORLD, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING ENGINE, THE MOST PERFECT ENGINE EVER NATURALLY ASPIRATED , ITS VERY FAST AND ITS ... FERRARI, WHAT ELSE ?? bye bye with love from italy

Amazing machine! this should be crowned car of the year in any test has it included.

The steering respond is so sharp as I can see. My guess is the 458 Speciale smartly uses understeering to increase steering reaction and increase entry speed.

6:45 and 7:00 whooooo, the sound and cornering WOW

So, we have this, we have new hypercars from McLaren, Ferrari AND Porsche all being released together, and a ton of other cool stuff coming...So I'm going to be pissed if the next series of Top Gear still has those lame, fake "challenges" in it. They should have plenty of better stuff to be getting on with.

No, the CARS are the star. The presenters need to remember that. More and more people are getting annoyed at the fake "challenges" that take up half the episode and tell you nothing about the cars - some of which are just old bangers that have been around for years. That is not TOP gear. That's barely even gear. They are the biggest car show in the world; there are so many awesome cars coming out this year that they have no excuse for padding out the episodes with the filler of boring fake "challenges"

I for one enjoy the challenges as a part of Top Gear. Hypercars are only a part of the show but if you want an informative car show about just the cars, Top Gear is not for you.

Ahh the progression , Challenge Stradale, Scuderia and now Speciale..!!!!!

Just need to wait for Chris Harris' review now. That would be 'on the limit'

WOW! My favorite is the Ferrari FF, but this look to be more fun!

Good god that car is gorgeous and the sound is glorious. That reviewer is great.

Really wonderful car. How to make the almost perfection even better. WOW

Do you guys want to open a Miami branch? I love your videos!

Hey guys great review! Do you have these numbers? 0-60mph? 60-0mph? How much faster is than the regular 458 around ferrari's test track?

What can we say just Astounding!

I like the black bit across the back. It makes the rear if the car seem less bloated

Massive massive machine. Just got one, perhaps not the fastest but the most fun I've ever had whilst driving a car!

All sports car videos must begin with a series of drifting sequences. ...this is what I've come to learn.

Something about this car is missing and looks incomplete I can't put a finger on it. The 360 Challenge Stradale and F430 Scuderia were far more pleasing to the eye imo

It's hard to make something as pretty as the standard 458 even prettier. I still think this is a very good looking car but it's just "different" looking than a standard one. I'm sure if we got to drive one of these we'd all be sold.

It's OVER 9000!!!

I just need to come up with the money for it. Not happening any time soon. I know some don't like the look, but I like it a lot. What's next? Maybe smaller displacement with turbo a la F40.

I somehow think that they first designed this car, then do downgraded it and sold it as regular 458

To me, it looks like the way the 458 family should be eventually!

If I had that much money for a car, that would be it. Everything else will feel to me like a compromise (especially the funny looking McLaren with the not so cool soundtrack or the heavy GTR with the Nissan badge)

ITS OVER 9000!!!!!

I love this Ferrari,for me the perfect Ferrari.Great handling and a lot of helps for enjoy the drive.

Praising all these traction gizmos on the new supercars to allow the car to stay on track & make them faster but they slated the GTR for years for having the same gizmos? I dont get it? Nice car though

pretty sweet machine

Beautiful car. Thanks for explaining the electronics. There is a downside to tech like this though. It makes the driver over confident of his/her abilities to handle such a car.

just wondering , how much horsepower 458 replacement will pack. based on comparison between 430 and 458 its about 70+ . is that mean we gonna have almost 700bhp in junior ferrari? its just ridiculous if that's the case .

Love the car despite not being a fan of the 458 but it's needs to be in silver with a baby blue stripe :D

I never thought I'd see the day, but Ferrari has COMPUTERIZED DRIFTING!!!

I want this thing so badly.

He said it makes more torque but the 398 ft lbs figure is the same amount as in the regular 458 or did he mean it's spread out through a larger band?

@Jinsun202

He meant the latter, but he said it incorrectly. If it had more torque everywhere then it would have more than 398lbft, so he may have meant that it has more torque over most of the rev range.

Jeremy clarkson, chris harris and steve sutcliffe have got to be the best top 3 car reviewers in the world.
