What a great video- makes a change to see the car in action rather than hear someone droning on about the pros and cons and their opinions. My opinion is I wanted to be driving that car on that road! It reminded me of the opening scene of the original Italian job and car worship doesn't come much better than that! thank you.
Ferrari offered an upgraded infotainment head unit that came with this black trim. I wanted Apple CarPlay and it wasn’t available even with the upgrade so I had a Pioneer AVH 4400NEX installed with the new factory trim.
Depends. This is certainly more of a GT car, but if you want a faster transmission and likely higher reliability, as well as a hardtop convertible, it would be a good and affordable swap. Just don't expect it to feel as sporty as the 430.
Rob I’m looking at getting a 2011 or 2012. People for years have been saying that they don’t handle that well but this video seems to disagree with that. What is your experience?
@@ImGriffinP just get it and you won't regret, the sound is addictive and it handles amazing trust me. Mine is a 2014 with have the speciale package but I drove a 2012 and is awesome
@@ImGriffinP It's a GT car, so doesn't handle like a mid-engined 458, but it rides better and is a joy to drive on winding roads. The turn in is quick, there is a bit more body roll in corners, but it really grips. It depends on what you are looking for. If you want a track-day car, a 458 is a better choice. If you want a great GT to take on winding roads, or a trip down the coast, the California is great. It's surprisingly practical, and generally very reliable if you take proper care of it, and drive it regularly.

This is exactly the video I want to see about a Ferrari. Just a real driving video and hearing that incredible sound
The car sounds incredible and is a true Ferrari. I can fall asleep to this everyday.
Same

Le son du 4.3 😍 une véritable jouissance sonore!
C'est sur qu'il donne envie de travailler, pour se l'offrir dans quelques années :)
Sound of success!!!
WHAT A CAR !!!! Nice stuff.
You should be happy with this V8.
I could listen to this for hours.
Those downshifts are magical.
Awesome sounding Ferrari
really enjoyed that nice driving as well
Fantastic video - I want to upgrade my 2007 v8 vantage roadster to this. Have you got a special cover for the infotainment system fitted?

Sounds real nice. Stock exhaust?
Yes, totally stock. The car was in Sport mode for that drive.
Nice
Wow where did you mount the mic?
On the rear license plate with gaffer tape.
I currently have the f430
....been using it for the 5th year now....is it worth the upgrade to this? Mine is manufactured in 2008
Stick with the f430

I love mine, amazing ride. How many miles do you have?
Just over 15,000 miles. How about you?
