#Ferrari488 #488GTB #CarCollection
Nine months ago TheCarGuys ordered a brand new Ferrari 488 GTB. And then forgot about it.
A few days before this video was created, the phone rang - it was Ferrari. The car was ready to be collected!
Find out TheCarGuys’ first impressions of this new V8 Ferrari are. Does it live up to expectations? What’s to like? What’s to hate? Will this be a keeper? And will this car lead to a 488 Pista?
Created by two ordinary guys with an obsession for cars, TheCarGuys.tv is a digital channel that celebrates everything automotive - supercars, classics, quirky, hidden gems and those in the TCG garage.

I was not sure about the 488 when i saw them first, but in your spec. i think it´s bang on, love that colour, the black roof and side skirts. It´s hard to convey the sound on recording, the 488 sounds a bit muted while the 458 screams up the rev range.
Awesome 😎

Very well chosen ! I’ve seen rosso fuoco on a 458, and it blew me away (in natural light), so this must be a very nice combination. Needless to say the 488 is a top machine. Enjoy !

Congratulations on a spectacular car. The only thing I can think of to improve it would be to use carbon finer hub caps (not yellow) and to paint your brake calipers black. Getting rid of the yellow would actually make the Fuoco paint pop as it’s not upstaged by the yellow. BTW, that whole yellow calipers thing is so overplayed, and it was never a good look to begin with. It makes elegant and sophisticated cars look like ghetto toys. Cherrio!

I got my 488 few weeks ago, I also have a Performante and I agree with the controls. There's a lot of lag, audio system is beyond awful and way too many screens. On the Performante everything is simple. They need to clean it up for the replacement.

Very nice spec!! Are you eligible to order the Pista now that you have ordered three brand new Ferrari's? Does their criteria change on who can order special limited models?! Health to enjoy and keep er between the hedges ✌️ 💪 🇬🇧 🍻

I just looked up the criteria, I'm not sure the reason you never answered my question, maybe you don't want to jinx your pista order... 1) have bought a 488 ✅ 2) own a F40, Enzo, etc ☑ 3) be part of ferrari racing ☒ 4) have the descresion of ferrari ☑ Looks like you should get your order in if not already placed!! 👍 🇬🇧

Hi, Jonathan. Yes this helped confirm my Pista order - which has now been upgraded to a Pista Spider
I'm not blown away by the noise still guys, but maybe it's just alot better in person. Bit of a boring question, but is there no run in process on new Ferraris? Also.. that surrounding area of the dealership looks INCREDIBLE.

Best spec and colour I’ve seen on a 488. I actually like this ... Graham T and I “argue” a lot about 458/488. I prefer the former - however, this spec 488 is rather special 👍

Is it true that Ferrari’s are already broken in so when you pick up you don’t have to worry about watching the revs for first thousand miles or so? Heard another youtuber say it...Cool video, love that contrasting roof!

As you were comparing this to the 458 give it a chance.......you forgot to mention the 458 is a lot prettier and more importantly sounds a lot better !
I have a touchscreen on my $25 K Subaru, and none of this keyless entry BS. But only 190bhp. Lol. In some of these expensive cars, technology gets in the way of function.
