He's right, he can slide the 488 like he does in BMW M3, all he needed is turn couple degrees higher than the corner then use the throttle to control the slide, aside from Gen II SSC rear diff during corner entry, at corner exit, the F1-Trac traction control will cut power for longitudinal traction. It's very controllable especially the engine out-put is limited in 1st to 4th gear. This helps a lot in reducing turning radius while remaining effective amount of longitudinal traction for accelerate. The engine response is quick. the 488 is just 0. 1 sec slower from 2000-8000 rpm compared to 458's F136 in 3rd gear. That's very quick for turbocharged engines not to mention the turbo isn't at full boost from 1st to 4th due to traction.

Now the prancing horse as wings?
Btw this blue hue is hypnotizing and Ferrari is and always be the standard. Mclaren 650 is a great performer but not as beautiful and Lamborghini is great looking but no where the performer. But Ferrari, has the INTANGIBLE of being both beauty meets absolute performance!

If I had the money I'd buy a 458 over the 488, would save quite a bit of money and I think the performance/sound/appearance of the 458 would be more than enough to make me forget about any HP gains I could have had with the 488

You crazy dog why do you drive this fast on public roads? I mean what if there comes an Elephant out in the road? Take it to track where there is no wildlife.

a nip here a tuck there and change the air dams around a lil, strap turbos on it and the 458 becomes the 488. mmmmm unimpressive, and uninspiring

The voice over at the beginning sounded a bit muted for some reason. Needs to be more crisp and clear. Great video though what a beautiful car.

I wonder which magazine will actually get the balls to go against Ferrari's will and get the Comparison test done with Mclaren 650S.
