That was super helpful, thank you! Fast forward a number of years, and you're right -- the Ferrari F8 changed the front spoiler and added way more down force -- similar to the Pista. I love the doors and speed of the McLaren, I love the looks and the slightly better comforts (I'm tall) in the 488. Either one seems fantastic. So.....I just bought the 488 and am awaiting delivery! Thanks guys!

Nicely done Mark 😀650S for me. I prefer the sound, it's better and less tiresome when you need it to be, it's more comfortable and the possibility of being off boost means a 650S can easily top 30mpg meaning it's the true modern supercar, good to the environment, quiet, comfortable and faster than anything else. The 488 is holding on to the past and does not move anything forward, it's not a game changer like the McLaren.

Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't be so harsh on the Ferrari. The engine develops 661bhp and is very seamless. the aero is also very clever which means no need for a large rear spoiler. I personally prefer the ride of the McLaren and the feeling of the turbo lag, before it takes off.

I can't speak for the 650S but I traded in my McLaren 12C for a 488 and while I can't explain the science; I can say that I'm very very very very happy with that upgrade (oh yes, I used the u word) and maybe the 12C is a very different car from the 650S (I'm sure it is) but I love the Ferrari 488. Again, not having driven the 650S, so take it with a huge grain of salt. I will give some talking points in terms of reliability. The 12C, on my first day with the car, in the rain, had the wiper motor fail (they issued a recall only good in some states) and it had constant squeaks from the frunk. The carbon fiber in the car had all discolored from just a few sunny days beating down on it, and the trim is not covered by the McLaren warranty. Speaking of warranty, the McLaren warranty explicitly forbids driving the car on a track (it voids the warranty). It's a race car. It needs to be on the track. It deserves to be on the track. But me, a poor boy from a poor family, couldn't wrap my head around tracking it. The frunk also had some frunk seal issues which allowed moisture to get in. The fit and finish just wasn't as good, IMHO, as the Ferrari. Also, the Iris system in the McLaren (the center console stereo/nav/thing) constantly flickered, doesn't support Apple CarPlay, and... is a running joke amongst McLaren owners because if you try to do a call and have something in the nav or on bluetooth, you're basically going to have to pick because the system requires constant resetting. And yes, the 488 does come with Apple CarPlay and while it's a tiny point... It's nice to have that convenience you get from a Honda Civic. ;-)

The McLaren for me . I prefer the looks noise and the fact that it isn’t an Italian red car (the obvious choice).

488 for me but then I am biased as I own one

i just bought a 488. What does the turbo button do?

Both lovely cars, but one will break down more often than Britney Spears. Lovely vid!

Quite nice the AP watch men

McLaren cuz the Ferrari is too common, you seen them everywhere. also the way the mclaren doors open are so cool so mclaren for me.

Prefer the McLaren especially with their supercar doors

Awesome video....#FERRARI

Amazing video. The sound and quality are both fantastic. I come from HK. I own a 458 Italia and glad to know that the 488 feels like an NA engine which I always prefer in terms of the seamlessly power and better engine sound. I do agree with you that the front of 488 is not aggressive enough but I am not a fan of the rear look of McLaren but it always has an aggressive front look. One thing I would like to know is the riding feel of the least aggressive driving mode of the two cars since most of the time I drive gently (I always switch on the bumpy road mode of my 458) I hope you could compare the 458 speciale to the Lambo LP610-4 or even the new Huracan Performante. Again, thank you so much for the great video :)

Welcome to my KZread channel. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Both cars have good suspension. The Ferrari has the bumpy road setting which is good and the McLaren has the sophisticated independent hydraulic suspension which is one of the main reasons I bought the car.

Hard not pick Ferrari over any car , but for a track car I would reluctantly have to take the McLaren .one thing you must keek in mind that at this stage there are people that are not “ Car guys “ that unfortunately have a lot of say on how this cars are sold to costumers , one result is reason they are using turbocharged engine , they have to , McLaren on the other hand wants to use a turbo engine , anyone can build a 600 hp turbo engine , but take the turbos away and who do you have ? , not many left in the ring. It’s a shame the Ferrari will not produce aspirated V12s anymore .

seats? 675LT?

I currently own a 650S Spyder...Lamborghini Huracan coupe prior to the Mclaren and a Ferrari 458 coupe prior to the Huracan. The 650S is the better track car on both Road Atlanta and the Daytona Rolex course. The Mclaren is so precise, predictable, AND forgiving. You can just drive the hell out of it, throw it into the apex, and out you fly under full power!

@@ryanwaugh1 that's not how this works. You compare by ratio. There are waaay fewer McLarens that exist compared to Ferrari. They've been pumping out road cars forever and McLaren only really got involved with the 12c late 2011. People would rather a Ferrari because they know what it is. Any ill informed person that doesn't know much about cars would say they'd choose a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Rolls-Royce because those are names that pretty much everyone knows. On the other hand, McLaren is a company that's just starting out and doesn't have much popularity due to it only being made recently. I'd take a McLaren over a Ferrari any day but because McLaren pumps out new models all the time to grow their consumer market their cars depreciate rapidly as a result. If you're looking for a car that retains value and can expect the money back you've spent choose Ferrari. However, if you're only interested in pure performance and ambitious prestige choose McLaren.

why do you have LT seats in your Mclaren?

@888mf4

Hi Harry. I had a cervical disc replacement in April 2017 and after I bought the car I didn't find the standard seats comfortable. So I sourced some full carbon 675LT seats. I find them extremely comfortable and they are much lighter than the standard seats. I will have the seats re-trimmed soon and remove the 675LT logo.

I'm confused, Elliot said the roadholding was night and day in favor of the Ferrari in the video footage then at the end seems like he is saying handling and change of direction is best with Mclaren but Ferrari is more emotional. 🤔 Also, curious if you guys did any rolling drag races between them, because although he doesn't come out and say so, Elliot seems to give us the impression the 488 is faster, however, although extremely close, in published 1/4 mile figures for the two the 650S is usually a tenth or two better with a very slight MPH gain on it as well.

@888mf4

Having had a McLaren (albeit the 12C) and now having the Ferrari 488; I can't speak to the 650S but I can say that the Ferrari is a much much more fun car to drive. Ironically, from a looks perspective, the 12C got a lot more attention, more photos taken by people, the car was an attention getter. The rear end and it's Blinky locky lights were fantastic and that big dynamic wing were very fun. The 488, in contrast, doesn't attract much attention. I picked the McLaren 12C over my old Ferrari 458 and while the car is technically better, in almost every single way, I ended up trading in the 12C on a 488 and going back to Ferrari. I have never been a Ferrari fan boy but I will say that there were quality issues at McLaren that will keep me nervous about going back and getting another McLaren anytime soon. Those included navigation failure, wiper motor failure (in the rain), fit and finish squeaks, suspension lifter lockout (failed on hot days). I have never had a single issue with either the 458 or 488. They are rock solid in terms of quality. Just sharing my experience but I agree that the McLaren is a great looking car and technically brilliant.

CarCulture . . . is biased as am I. At least I am realistic. McLaren built hyper-cars to compete with Ferrari and Lamborghini. MARQUEE BRANDS - Ferrari and Porsche are the two Marquee brands which Lamborghini has joined and Bigatti dropped of yaers ago. The De Thomaso . HYPERCARS - McLaren, the Bugatti, Zonda etc . . . are specifically engineered to be really fast. You take them out and go really fast on a race track . . . and . . . that's all they do. Ferrari and Porsche are driveable cars. Lamborghini has slowly merged into the Porsche and Ferrari marquee market as most models, can be driven every day. McLaren takes ALL your focus and concentration to avoid smashing so you are forced to head to a race track or open highway/motorway. I have spoken to one McLaren owner and he was embarrassed as . . . males aged 18 to 26 raved about the car, speed and how he could afford it and rudely, how much money does he make? He told me at that time, he was changing it to a Ferrari 430 as the 458,488 V12 Berlinetta's did not exist at that time. I was stunned . . .

Both are great cars - you like peaches or nectarines? I cannot decide, so I eat both!
