#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.

That's how an adult specs out a Ferrari. Pay attention young ones.
Thanks, John - it might be conventional but it works
love it, these collection videos are great !, really nice to hear what you don't like as well as what you do, refreshing to hear. The only thing missing was the other chap saying he doesn't like the colour and the usual banter ! ;), great stuff Damian thanks for posting.
Very nice Damian!
Another fantastic video Damian! Love the spec, and has really made the 488 better in my eyes! See you soon :)
Cheers, Josh
Absolutely love the spec and a great video too!
Cheers Mr F
🙏 thanks for the review
Great vid again living the dream enjoy sir
Thanks, Blue Sky
A lovely car thank you for showing it
You’re most welcome, ilostmymind47
Beautiful car, great video and amusing commentary 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much my friend
Great video
Such a nice spec! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing more videos about the 488!
Thanks, Will. I’m sure there will be many more
Magnificent red paint, i think the best shade of red in the ferrari catalogue and it matches very well with the black roof. Aaaaaaa really jealous! Congratulations!
Thanks Matteo - I agree it’s a special colour - and I’m a sucker for a contrasting roof
What about Rosso Monza. It looks pretty similar
great review!
Thanks, Ken
Beautiful, must be an amazing feeling to collect a brand new, ordered Ferrari, well done you.
Thank you, it is one of those rare wonderful experiences in motoring
What a car and what a spec! Congrats
Cheers, dude
Great video of a lovely car. Really cool seeing you pick it up from Lyndhurst too. A lovely little village with an awesome dealership.
Thanks, Lemon
I love watching people collect cars like this, it must be such an amazing experience to actually drive a new Ferrari away from the showroom. 👍
Fabulous machine!
Very nice and congratulations on your purchase. I am considering this car myself and really enjoyed your video to help me make my decision, so thanks for a good video.
No problem, Lee - glad you liked it. Full review to follow
Love the new car! What a great colour! Good job man!
Thanks, Dave - always great to hear
Wow....that 488 is Gorgeous!!
Great first review of the 488!!! Looking forward to your follow-up reviews. I am on the verge of putting in an order for the 488 Spider.
Thanks, based on my time in the 488 so far you won’t regret it
Beautiful spec!!! One of my favourite cars.
Thank you very much, Kixn Za . Should be a lot of fun
This channel will blow
Will blow? So it doesn't blow already? Thanks
I don't understand the whole turbo noise argument. Listen to an RB26, 1JZ/2JZ, 13B rotary any old school group B rally car they all sound insane.
It is a good point
Perfect spec . Nice review
Cheers, Martin - glad you enjoyed it
Love the paintwork - it’s so deep and rich, Can we have more videos on this car please!
Oh go on then
Awesome 😎
👍👍
Turbo Action 😎👍🏻
A brilliant review of a car thats growing on me. I can't afford the payments on my current car but these videos give me a little hope in life. Thank you.
Thanks, James
That spec is very special, great choice👍
Cheers, Joe
Definitely the best looking 488 ever!!
Gis-a-go mister !
Perfect spec!! That paint makes it!
Lovely colour 488
Great video, I am seriously considering one of these
Hope it helps
TheCarGuys.TV The tech inside which you describe puts me off if I am honest in terms of Sat Nav and Radio. I did a Pilota driving course about 18 months ago in the 488 and 812
11:36 haha!! thank you. new expression.
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 !
Thanks for your kind words, Stefan. It’s certainly a more alluring car than I expected.
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.
I’ve ordered the same car . Same color but I’ve gone for gold wheels . I should be getting my car early August . I can not wait , thanks for the review it’s made me more existed than ever 👍
One day I will have the courage to order gold wheels. Sir, I salute you
So true about the keys. Preach it!
Preach it has now become our favourite phrase. Look out for it in a future vid
God that car is fast. Lyndhurst to Broadway in one second!
Not the spec I would go but congrats on the new car.
Great video but I just wondered what made you go for the GTB over the Spider? Shorter delivery time?
Thanks, Richard. Two reasons - I fancied the stiffer coupe, and the lead time was shorter. That sealed the deal
Absolutely beautiful spec
Thanks my friend
Damian: TOP REVIEW!!
Thanks - glad you liked it
TheCarGuys.TV
I drove the 488 last Friday and thought 100% the same about your points ;)
I Love It 💯 Congratulations 🌝
Trying to get rid of my AMG GTC right now for 488ing😉
Great to hear you enjoyed the 488 and that our vid helped.
You can’t get rid of your AMG - you’re called AMG Life!!!!!
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!
Good tips, thanks
Wow he has been waiting for 9 whole months... Man hard life you must have 🤣. But lets be honest here the car is beautiful 😎
He goes back on most these points in the 458 comparison video
Note the words “first drive” and “comparison”
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 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.
True dat
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 👍
Cheers, Lee. I prefer the looks and noise if the 458, but you can’t deny the overall development of the platform
Agree Damian. I'm out with Graham tomo, so i'm sure we will "debate" the merits of both!
I just watched people drive ferrari cars. Because I'll never get to that level. Unless I win the lottery. 😂 😂 😂
A day most of us can only dream of - thanks for sharing it with us !
You’re most welcome
you can get it mate not today but some day keep focusing on your business ventures,just use TheCarGuys as motivation
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.
New Forest, where I grew up. I think he may have driven down my road as it's only 2 miles from Lyndhurst. House prices are a bit mental because it's a national park these days.
Lovely! So you won't be needing that Carrera T any more -I have a garage space!
You’re first on the list, Kram 😀
Thanks!
Imo, if you choose the Black roof you should have the Side sills in color too
Yes they are
TheCarGuys.TV Sorry I meant shouldnt, yes its personal preference but like this the car looks even more smaller imo. But specs aside if I see and get this for real I would take it in a second!
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!
Lama 67 I think nearly all manufacturers put each engine and transmission through their paces on a bench (not in the car itself) to ensure they actually work, so theoretically speaking the cars are already run in
Yes there’s no real running in procedure, but I like to take it easy for the first 500-1000 miles
And they did actually stott it off the door as they pulled it out for you! No damage?
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 !
Awesome car I would of gone for a blue spider but can't afford one anyway lol.. congrats
Daniel Thomas I also like blue I think TDF Blue is real nice on the 488!! 💪 👍 🍻 ✌️
I think the subscriber numbers will increase drastically during the rest of 2022.
Who knows?
@@TheCarGuysTV ridiculous if it does not. By the way, I am the guy that was hoping you would come to Chicago pre covid . I offered to provide professional photography at no charge. Maybe some day. Oh...and I just contracted covid 2 days ago !!
@@tomingrassiaimages8776 Unlucky, Tom. Get well soon.
Fantastic ferrari. Hope you get great pleasure out of it. Lovely example 👍
Thanks, Stephen
Damien-Would you still rate your 458 over this ? And will you ever part with the 458
Yes I would and no I wouldn’t 👍
Did he scrape the front coming out the door? Bit of a crunch noise.
I think it was something else that just sounded like a scrape
Def hit the glass door on the rear wheelarch.....the guy even checks the door as soon as the car is clear
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.
How can i earn money for that car?
how many layers of paint again?
3
ah right, how many again?
Just be careful :)
For all things you listed here & given current price. Makes this by far my top choice for a Ferrari above the 458. Also 100% with infotainment - although to be fair to the prancing horse. they are all shocking. and well said on keys!!
Damian.....got to say you didn't look like a guy who was stoked to be picking up such a car....not sure you would have ever bought it other than the ludicrous procedure of buying cars you dont really want to get a car you actually do ...ha the perils of being rich....fair play it looks like a beauty but its clear it didn't set you on fire...
No run in period?
Daan Farrazijn I didn’t really push it, but it’s pretty much run in pre-delivery
I'm not bothered about the radio selector on the 488. Who listens to the radio in a Ferrari? Never even wondered why there was one in there.
Slow clap
Get it wraped, before the dings come
Wise advice
Will you be getting the 488 Pista?
I would say there’s a strong possibility
TheCarGuys.TV did you bought the 488 to get the chance to order a Pista? ;)
luis lopes That would be telling... 😀
Dear Santa...
Wonder why they didn’t order wider doors on the building🤣
Mail probably a listed building so the doors were probably as big as they could make them whilst remaining sympathetic to the original design/look.
Yep that’s completely right - but they make it hard for themselves by parking the car on an angle inside
Why? It’s old.
What do the car guys do for a living? besides buying a lot of cars that is?!
Jason works in IT and Damian is currently look to invest in businesses having sold his last one
TheCarGuys.TV cool. Well done on your success and I like the videos. The understated style (compared to the "carbro" vlogger gang) is great.
Oi m8, ya got a loicense for this video?
What’s a loicense?
Just a joke from some "circles". Government asks for licenses for everything and now with EU's proposal article 13, for everything you post online.
Why are you copying Jeremy Clarkson?
When you’ve grown up watching him, it’s hard for some of his influence to not rub off
DAMN SEXY
The first owner and reviewer were its said it sounds nice??? Sorry don't believe you.
The evidence is on the video but a full review will follow to explore it in more detail
TheCarGuys.TV yeah great looking car but Aston Martin and other super car companys have still kept a good sound with their turbocharged cars. It's sounds nowhere near as good as the 458.
hippie shake I don’t think anyone expected it to sound as good as a 458, but the fact that it sounds any good at all is a win, surely?
Way too much you, way too little car. Take a few lessons from Nick Murray.
Thanks for the feedback, Colm - always useful and we love self-improvement. I wasn’t aware of Nick, so thanks for that tip. If I’m being honest I don’t see a huge difference as the styles seem v similar, but I’ll make sure we get more car in in the future.
The sidescirt is the cars weakest point.
Not especially attractive..
Sorry, but the ferrari 488 gtb is a really ugly model.
Steady on
Im not a hater, but i really dont link the design of the 488gtb. Ferrari makes amazing cars, but this model is in my opinion not amazing. But maybe im a bit spoiled, an it is a nice car, what makes you like his car?
Think I watched this round the wrong way I've got identical 458 to you and agreed better all round!! In this you prefer this one ? Guess you were carried away as it was new lol !! Luv your videos though !!
