#Ferrari #458Vs488 #windowsmashing
This week TheCarGuys take the new Ferrari 488 GTB and test it versus Damian’s long-term 458 Italia. Which is the better in terms of performance, noise, exterior looks, quality of interior and long-term ownership and value?
Many of you have asked whether it’s worth upgrading from a 430 to a 458, or whether it’s worth saving up for the new 488 instead of going for a used 458. Hopefully this video will answer many of your questions. But if you have more, don’t hesitate to leave comments on this video, or hit us up on Instagram.
* Note - performance figures quoted in the Top Trumps section of this video are based on TheCarGuys’ own cars and are not necessary those of Ferrari or any other organisation. It is also worth noting that we are comparing a 15k mile 458 Italiaversus an 800-mile 488 GTB. Neither cars have been modified in any way.
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.

SO WHAT SMASHED THE WINDOW?. We reckon it was a stone flicked up by the passing green Land Rover. Gravel driveways often get stuck between the tread of the tyres on big SUVs, and then are flung out when they accelerate on tarmac roads.
I think you're probably right. Flicked up a rock on its way by.
Crap dumb huge suv
I hope you are right. Other possibilities are far more worrying. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/he-couldve-killed-someone-idiot-13181610
I would strongly encourage fast frame dashcams to record all-around coverage of your beautiful cars. Being able to frame check for damning evidence and a number plate would be most satisfying. The mobius cameras are great for capturing side views and are very discrete for capturing 'supermarket car park rash' and vandalism incidents. USB power banks can enable several days of protection without killing your car battery.
or maybe the guy threw a hard aluminium oxide ceramic (spark plug) lol
Update: check out projectile which seems to become airborne as vehicle passes. Immediately prior to impact, you can see it has a blurry speck located at the rear of car guys head @18:49
Due respect, I don’t believe a stone the size of which would be lodged in a tire tread, traveling in a parallel path like that can impart enough force to make the window fail. The failure was obviously caused by stress on the window. What would cause that much stress? It seems to me to be one of three scenarios. First, and least likely, it could’ve resulted from a manufacturing defect in the glass itself. Secondly, could have resulted from improper mounting of the window. Perhaps the vehicle was worked on previously. Other than that it may have resulted from a projectile originating from a location perpendicular to the vehicle.
Heart says 458, brain says 488.

Always go with the heart
This honestly made me laugh out pretty good, thanks for that :)
Agree!
Ac3f no you killed it lol
Pussy says Aventador :-))))))))))
I’m gonna have to go with the 458. Just purchased one of those babies..it was the replica model car $9.99 in Target. Great buy definitely recommend.
Mike L i bought the 488 gtb. 20 bucks from costco
Mike L I went with the Laferarri instead. Definitely worth the extra 5 dollars. Got it at my local grocery store.
too funny man, hahahha
🤣
I bought a bunch of different exotics at Walmart ,I feel like Jay Leno!
The 458 is better looking, better sounding and better value. The 458 has already a classic smell 😍
So many variables, and you should also note that the 458 is depreciating. Better value is a direct function of usage and inflation.
And as a drivers car, the 488 is MILES better than the 458.
@@AB-80X But the interior is almost the same, and the speedometer is the same, well, the 458 italia originally would have a 370km/h speedometer, but they leaved it in 360km/h instead 370km/h, so the 458 would be faster than 488 GTB for 10km/h, I don't take account the want everyone call top speed, because top speed is only a speed record, isn't the max, the max is what gives you the speedometer, the 488 GTB is 360km/h and the 458 have the same, but originally gonna had a 370km/h speedometer, if you don't believe I will let here a link of some images official video of the 458 italia.
@@AB-80X I don't know what's the real top speed of the 488 GTB, but the real top speed of the 458 Italia is 339km/h (211mph).
Official video ua-cam.com/video/k9Br6f_BCVc/v-deo.html
@@playgt326 Best I ever personally saw in a 458 Italia was 335 on gps @ 8900 rpm. So far the best I've seen in a 488 Spider was 341 @ 7500 rpm. The Italia was definitely maxed, as we could pin it for about 4-5 minutes. The 488 may have had a kph or two left, but it was pretty much done at that speed. If a 458 runs 339 gps, that's definitely only in perfect conditions where the DA is low and temps are down.
I like nearly everything more in the 458
me too just looking at the price of them though, a bit over the top.
paul lunney predicted to only go up from here
Luca Rossi not if you ever drive it
@Luca Rossi Yea they made to many of them for it to be a collectible in the future
@@TheeKiddJordann i think im going to get one.
458 by far, I was driving it for about an hour in 2013 and I still have smile on my face. That acceleration from 120 to 220kmh and noise from the engine... my god...
WELL DONE GUYS 👏
Sir, do you have a super car ? 😁
I agree 458 is a better car, but a smile for almost 10 years? That sounds uncomfortable
@@andygreat423are u slow?
@@WPRO78 Don’t want to brag but I’m probably faster than you in every aspect son.
A 458 with 488 back would be perfect for me
No One:
No one: A 458 with 488 back would be for me

But with the 458 triple central exhaust

Pista: Exists
Me:"Hentai face"
@@madman2547 that would look sick, even better, a pista with triangle tri tip.
@@r8maksutovguy922 or even a 458 speciale with the 488 back 😍
488's paint color is stunning
It most certainly is. Rosso Fuoco
Don Limpio Mr. Clean, isda u?
And that’s the reason why I’m on my second 458. Had a 458 Italia, now in a Spider. Roof down in a tunnel, 3rd gear Race mode and just listen to that engine scream all the way up the Rev counter!
My dealer tried to tempt me with a Rosso Dino 488 GTB but no sale. Go with your heart and emotion. Leave the head for the tricky stuff!
Great review chaps, thanks!
Drove 458, mclaren 650 and huracan today at the track... 458 italia all day! It was just more fun!
The 458 Italia is one of the greatest fucking cars I've ever seen. Looks, sound, handling, character, you name it! It's all there! Super special car through and through.
I want a 458 but my bank account wants a bike
WHAT BIKE
4 wheel granny scooter
feel sorry for the next generation - they'll be comparing the sound of electric motors ...
I must have watched this at least 3-4 times over the last month. In my opinion I love the 458 and would have it over the 488. That being said, I do believe that these are two of the most beautiful cars on the road.....I will have one soon!
Good on you, Tim
F8 enters the chat
I like the 488 GTB, it just looks so smart and beautiful.
The 458 is such a beautiful design, aggressive yet subtle. A truly remarkable car that will no doubt go down as one of Ferrari's great production vehicles... and that engine note!
What a great comparison guy,I really enjoyed the video,have to say it was quite terrifying to see the window break
Thanks, Emba - it was pretty scary onboard
how did it break?
@@BETNCORT ,I'm confused too,I really don't know what kind of a projectile it could've been,judging from how the window fractured,it has to be a small stone
I prefer the 458
Me too, better desing, and better engine sound, if you wanna make it faster, just upgrade and changes parts by better parts, or mi better, changes the ferrari engine for a new Ferrari engine of the same series
Play GT i don’t get it. Why did Ferrari made the beautiful car’s successor look bad? Look, 488 is not a bad car in any means but in looks alone, the newer car looks ugly.
@@playgt326 Trust me, 458 don't need more power, it pulls like crazy and feels like a go cart, very responsive and twitchy, pure enjoyment...
0-60 of the 458 Italia is 3.3. The 458 Speciale was 3.0👍🏻
Ohnoneill1990 488 must be faster, I cannot believe the 3.0 they said
Official time is 3.3, that's true. But if you bothered to read the caption or the info in the description...
tesla roadster is 1.9
@@garyhsu5210 Tesla is shit
The 488 pista is 2.85
Thank you so much for this review, I literally wanted to know exactly everything you talked about before making my purchase, well done, cheers!
Awesome guys. 458 all the way
Cheers, Shaelin
Says the guy with a 488 pista profile pic
Gordon TheMan well the pista is the only good lookin 488. but Here was no pista
Says the guy with a 488 in his pp
I said this then realized what other people said ;-;
Who cares what he has in his profile pic? If I had a fighter jet as my picture it doesn't mean I want to actually purchase one to drive in the weekends.
absolutely fantastic video and review!!! thanks for sharing this 😃
Best video yet and looks professional. Maybe you were hit by an air gun pellet? Having seen that, I want to go get my side windows filmed so they don’t shatter in such a dramatic way. Fortunately you were not too distracted by it, didn’t panic and kept the car on the road - good job.
Another fantastic unbiased and humorous review. Great work..
Thank you so much
11:35 that gives me chills and tears that sounds beautiful
The banter between you two Geezers is the best on You Tube. Your comparisons are incredibly good and real world detailed. Keep èm coming.
Thanks, James
458 all the way! It’s the 308 of its era . Just love it and I’ve been fortunate enough to rag one around a track.
The 458 is a modern classic. The 488 isn't.
It's a damn Ferrari you can't lose either way!!! And they all become classics!!!
I really enjoyed that guys, thanks!
Great video....really like the format...hope to see more..!!!👍
488 looks better for me and the side openings are perfect for me
Then that's the one you should get
Yeah, just need the money for it.
Except the sound
See this guy has a brain
TheCarGuys.TV you also have a brain
That window breaking was scary, lucky you didn't crash!!
19:17 looks like you've broken into & stole it 😂😂
Amazing comparison! Thanks a lot for this video :)
I am late to the party and have been bingeing ‘The Car Guys’ really enjoyed that and subbed 👍
Thank you so much for this comparison! Been waiting for a detailed look at those two next to each other and pretty sure there aren't any on yt. Anyone who has driven and heard a 458 is so disappointed by the sound of the 488 that nobody really cares how much more torque you have because the 458 isn't that much slower and sounds like heaven. Pretty sure there will be a significant price difference between those two in 40 Years.
Thanks for the feedback, Godboy4 - glad you enjoyed it. Agree with everything you say here.
Great video guys
Thanks, Karl
I truly enjoyed your video! You guys are fun to watch and really talk about the things I want to hear and know about! Great Stuff!
Thank you very much 👍
Excellent video and informative comparison. Just enough humor to keep it fun. Well done, guys!
Just enough 👍
Great video chaps. Think I'm off to look for a 458 to join my F355.
Good man
458 for the banshee-ness. And that it's a Concorde car - end of an era.
It so totally is - you're right
And I'm a little sad about that. End of the line for the NA V8 Ferraris. The more I think about it, the more I think that 458 has to be a keeper. Decades-long legacy to uphold.
Nice video!! hope ull do comparison off 488 and Huracan like this video
Really great vid. Thee most comprehensive comparison of a Ferrari I've seen to date! 🤙
But unfortunately they were completely wrong regarding depreciation and plateau.
"Shall we have some beanage" How British...Love it
Great review! I have now made the decision for which car to go with. Only if I had money...
Thanks, Ryan - glad you liked it
Great video. Your passion, humor and wit really shines through.
Thanks, Justin
Stumbled across your channel looking for 458 videos. Absolutely insane channel! One of the best on UA-cam. Love the cars and chemistry!
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you to say
I love these guys reviews on these two Italian beast. “It’s like driving a brick isn’t it?”😆😂🤣
Can you please compare the 360 CS to the 458 Italia. They are roughly the same price right now (US) but in terms of technology, miles apart. Did I say please?
You did say please, Tom. This is possible but a bit one-sided and it only makes sense to compare it to the Speciale - that would be apples with apples
Great review, guys !
Thanks!
GUYS YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK PLEASE DO MORE LIKE THIS,REALLY EYE OPENING
THANKS, PETROSS - GLAD TO HAVE YOU WATCHING
I think the Ferrari 488 GTB look better, it is faster and handle better but the 458 Italia exhaust sounded so much better then the 488 GTB. It is a very a hard decision.
listen on youtube to novitec f1 rosso on a 458...they have a site and if you listen you will never ever consider a 488 again......
I would take the 458 every single time. Sound, looks, and plenty of performance.
superb content, please do more of those comparisons.
Now we will
Thank you Car Guys! What a great review! The stuff dreams are made of.
No problem, Francis - glad you liked it.
If I decide to sell my P-car I'll look for a 458. Love the looks since day one, and the sound, no turbo for me...
I've already found two local 458's and I'm not even looking!
Let us know how you get on, mariodesmo
Really enjoyed the video, the editing was well done! Also, I have to agree, the 458 wins my heart between the two.
Awesome vid guys
Great content thanks for sharing 🏁
You’re most welcome, Jarviz
I like the shape of the wheels on the 458 too. I always liked the the overall styling 458 over the 488. Not sure I like the white though. It has to be a red for me, that's a Ferrari. Especially if I can have just one.
First 2000 kms of my 458 have been better than I could have imagined. Still love the 488 but I enjoy the simpler lines of the 458
A few years ago, I had a window shatter on a 599 GTO just like that; and the car wasn’t even moving, just parked in the driveway. Very strange. Good video.
WOW i'm glad your ok great vlog as always Damian and Jason love both of 'em but not the Fez tax Lol thanks from Merseyside
Window is gonna break soon anxiety during the entire video 😅
458 for the naturally aspirated engine and the sound. Plus the 488 is so damn fast, I rather redline more often than to have to stop. I really don't think I need that power in my life. Around 500hp is perfect for me on any 3000 to 3500 ish pound car. Honestly anything over or around 350 on a 3000 pound car is fine with me.
What a pair of likeable chaps.
For a guy like me working in a warehouse, currently driving a £4,000 VW Passat I can only dream of these cars but these videos certainly give me a glimpse in to a dream world.
Like most I have a car at certain price points. After the M Sport estates, on to the 911’s, when I crack £100,000 in dream money it’s the 458.
I had five laps at Elvington in one as birthday presents, even though I’d guess I got to 60 in 10 seconds and barely hit 80mph it blew my mind to drive such an incredible car. For me as beautiful and classy as cars come.
Very nice video. Terrific job. How about a video with the 458 Aperta with these two? Also are you getting a 488 Pista? Cheers
I always preferred the 458, but after I drove the 488, it sure was 488 !! And I did not talk silly, the 488 in the real world is much faster 0-100km / h and in the top speed, in the gps, the 488 have already been seen arriving at 216mp / h, and one more great
Marcelo S Speed can't be all that matters my friend. Speed gets expensive quickly, unless you have access to a track. Most tracks are only open on the weekends. I wish you success and I hope you are able to enjoy one as an owner. Or the other. Good luck.
Who cares about speed when you have that glorious sound of 458! You buy sports cars for the engagement and sound
Marcelo S 488 has no sound=terrible
climate change and how rich fucks ruined the future. Electric car was invented before, but oil barons bought all patents for electric cars and here we are. World full of pollution and oil barons long gone replaced by oil sheiks and oil oli oligarchs...
Agree, 488 is much quicker in a straight line and on a roadcourse. 8mph more in the quarter mile, loads more torque. I am not sure where these guys get their data. Of course the 458 engine is better sounding and that means a lot, but it really is the only feature that is better unless you count price.
I liked your video!...I have owned 3 Ferrari's , two 458's and one 430 Spyder….I just bought the second 458 about 4 months ago and one of the main reason's was the sound
Thanks, John. Glad to have you with us. Send pics
I bought the 458 and the 430 when I came to CA, sold them and bought another 458 in 2017....Mostly rode the Repsol Honda motorcycle when I was in CA because the traffic is so bad
Wich color are they?
Did you manage to get pics of your imaginary Ferrari’s?
TheBookofEli exactly what I was thinking lmao
Great review guys. Good to hear some completely unbiased views.
Think you're right about the 2-tone paint work (well, the darker roof). Looks great.
Very enjoyable vlog...Damien your a very lucky man to have both and the rest of your fantastic garage. If I had the choice of these two it'd be the 458 the best modern Ferrari since the 355 and a far most evocative design, whereas the 488 appears more function over form. At this time, I don't think 458 prices will raise but remain firm around £160k+ for spiders and low mileage examples, whereas the 488 will depreciate further, mainly because of its Turbo engine which I don't think will experience a growth in appreciation (in collectiability terms) the way the 458 will do as time passes. But if the 488 is a car that your not going to hang onto and creates an avenue to a "Pista"...well then it's money well spent!
That window alone costs more than my existence 😂😂
Thank you, you have helped sway my decision as witch to purchase.
Brilliant video. One of the best I've seen on UA-cam in years. Results were as I expected. Lol @ radio station change. I would love to see you do the same thing with 458 vs. 2019 ZR1 Corvette. After decades of Ferrari lust, I must admit that the release of the ZR1 is now pulling me that direction.
Thanks OC, much appreciated. If we ever get hold of a ZR1 then we'll let you know.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! Awesome work! I been thinking of trading my 458 spyder for a 488.... you guys have just made my mind up to keep it!!!
Keep up the great content guys!!!
A pleasure, Jag - glad it helped
Great job guys! Especially appreciated by me, who 2 weeks ago bought his first ever Ferrari, a 2015 458 Spider! I have a few American sports cars (Vipers and Vettes) but I must admit this is a masterpiece - truly a piece of art. Glad I did not decide to go with the 488.
Congratulations, Jeff - really glad to have validated your recent glorious purchase
bullshit
UrAverageHustler Say what you mean
My opinion based upon having corvettes for 20+ years and Vipers for 10 years (still have several of each) is that my first and only Ferrari is (as stated in my initial post) - an amazing car. Intoxicating, exhilarating, breathtaking and undeniably different than any American sports car.
Poking around in your back catalogue waiting for new video today. The paint on the 458 is bloody lovely!
Great video really enjoyed it
Glad you did, Craig
I think the 458 is better on the whole, preferably without being attacked on country roads though haha. That must've been scary having the windows smash right next to you!
I do think that wireless keys are ok but I prefer a normal key. I don't like that wireless keys can be hacked to steal your car.
Personally i would go for the 458 in the same color scheme as your 488. That window scared the $h!t out of me. If it was a rock from the land rover i hope it didn’t damage the door paint aswell
Great vid chaps 👍
Great video chaps! You so deserve more subscribers! They will come :)
Thanks, John. Hopefully they will. Next stop - 10,000
458 or 488? I think I'll take the F430 Scuderia
That “something” looks like it was thrown from the vehicle passing you on the other side
Jealous people frowing stuff on people's cars
Well done. A great comparison video by people who know how to speak, drive, edit they're videos before they post . thank you
Great insightful review guys 😊
Cheers
458 for life I love that car and it’s my favorite out of the two
370km/h in the 458 italia and not 360km/h speedometer ua-cam.com/video/k9Br6f_BCVc/v-deo.html
I love both. And can't afford either. .by a long way. But I love the 458 a little more.
Great video, gives me a much better idea of which one I might prefer. I will need to drive both for myself but excellent comparison!
phenomenal video well done!
Thank you very much - it was a tough one to do, so much appreciated
The F458 looks better. The F488's body looks over designed and messy where as the F458 body looks cleaner. F458 interior, especially the dash looks better too. Engines with turbos can also fail so its great the F458 doesn't have one and is naturally aspirated. The engine/exahust noise on the F458 sounds heaps better then the F488. Unfortunately the F488 and the Corvette Z06 look similar which makes the F458 look more distinct.
Supremely good comparison and the reason why comparison reviews are the most informative for making a qualified decision. The side-by-side, split view was worth whatever effort it took to produce. Ah, the contrast stitching reflecting and distracting in the windshield (thx for repeatedly noting this in videos). Now, how about Ferrari California n/a vs T review? The power difference and numerical results are notably drastic YET it’d be interesting to hear about the impressions and simple fun factor.
his reaction at the window cracking LOL
Wow guys I absolutely loved your video... I this year bought my first 2015 458 spider I appreciate your videos tremendously....
Thank you - fantastic news and congratulations on your Fezza. Send us a picture on Instagram or Facebook - we would love to see it
I don't even know why I'm watching this since I would never be able to afford either of these beautiful cars.
It’s free to dream, and I was a dreamer once too
Why never? We're all one lucky break away. Just keep pushing G.
While I’m not the biggest fan of Ferrari’s mid engine v8 series of cars as a whole, I definitely like the 458 over the 488.
Good man
Excellent review...thanks guys. Just as an aside - how much was a new door glass?
About £700
Enjoyed the video and subscribed!
Thank you, Franco
458............plus in years to come these will be worth way more than the 488!
Dont think so.
Agreed.
With gamerscockpit
gamerscockpit nah.. the new 488 is a beast
I go for the 458 even though the 488 is FASTER on track.
Dont think i will ever see a more attractive car.
And,the economic benefits will be much greater with the 458 in the future,nudge nudge..
I drove a 488 on track but now wish I’d done the 458 - must do so next time! Great review guys.
Finally, the perfect car comparison video!! Not referring to the viewers as "guys" every 2 seconds, not doing burnouts and tunnel pulls, just giving the info in a perfectly digestible way. Thank you!!! I have to say though, it didn't help me decide , how can one choose between these 2 masterpieces?
Thanks, Kurt
Cool! I never knew the differences in looks between 458 and 488 until I saw this video!
