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 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.
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.
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.

@@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.
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!
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 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!
@@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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
loved the video. by the way guys, there is a hidden rocker switch mounted behind both sides of the steering wheel -- the one on the RIGHT (in a LHD car) changes the radio station -- go feel for it!
Did you try the rocker buttons (up and down) flanking that center button behind the right arm of the steering wheel? in a U.S. car, it tunes the radio station up and down, respectively. May not be like that across the pond though!
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.
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.
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.
I’ve been considering trading my 458 up to a 488, but the weaker sound of the 488 was a big concern . I watched many UA-cam videos but this one was the best, and gave me a lot of other points I didn’t consider, like the turbo lag. I’m holding onto my 458 for a bit longer I think. Well done. Thank you FR: a friend in the the USA. Edit 2022… I bought a F8! Love it. Thinking about getting an IPE exhaust
Great video. I also live in New Forest. I agree the 458 is, overall, a better car, but i still love to own the 488 for some reason. It cuts through the Forest corners like a knife. Keep up the great work. 👍
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.
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?
Well, I doubt it, as long as it rolls on road legal tyres, there are simply physical limitations... so an acceleration below 2.5s to 62mph is unlikely, no matter what engine you put into the car.
Smashing video guys, great comparison that I've not seen done before in such detail. Also great to see that you didn't do a clickbait video...facepalm thumbnail and "my Ferrari is destroyed" title etc like erm certain youtubers, you know who I mean. P.s Bullet proof glass for the Pista it is then!.
Thanks, Adam. We're too old for clickbait :). This is our first really big comparison, but I'm sure it won't be the last. It was a bit old 'mutha' to complete, but hopefully everyone will enjoy it.
cool video😊👍👍and glad you weren't injured by the shattered glass...I had driver side glass explode in my face too a few years back..but it wasn't a stone.it was a motorcycle helmet..a poor bloke decided it would be wise to run a red light..
Hell no if you get a 488 with a 458 engine your car is going to be slower the 488 is way faster than the 458 the only thing that could make sense is the other way around if you love the 458 look and change the engine to get the 488 so your car is faster but honestly the 458 is a gorgeous car but looking at it now it aged pretty quickly looking the aventador look not that old compare to that the best is still the laferrari but for his price the 488 is better
I actually have to say I prefer the looks of the 488. However what this video showed me was that the 458 features a more thought-out and intricate aero and overall design. More work has gone into it which really surprised me.
That’s because Ferrari kind of became a sell out after 2015. Pushing out new vehicles too quickly & making them with not much thought. Not too bothered anymore, all about how much money they can make.
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!
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
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.
Sorry but all you need is to watch at 6:46... N/A wins all the time as such a car is all about the experience...Thx for the review, good things as always.
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.
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.
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.

Poking around in your back catalogue waiting for new video today. The paint on the 458 is bloody lovely!
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
Great review I’m for the 458 n/a is the way to go so much less to go wrong and the fantastic sound track make it a easy decision.
Really enjoyed the video, the editing was well done! Also, I have to agree, the 458 wins my heart between the two.
Really detailed awesome comparison vid guys. I like the look of the 458 more surprisingly. Obv both are incredibly stunning
Thanks for watching!
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
Great video. Your passion, humor and wit really shines through.
Thanks, Justin
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.
Stunning video to show the power looks and driving experience of ferrari babies...loved it👍
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.
I’ve been considering trading my 458 up to a 488, but the weaker sound of the 488 was a big concern . I watched many UA-cam videos but this one was the best, and gave me a lot of other points I didn’t consider, like the turbo lag. I’m holding onto my 458 for a bit longer I think. Well done. Thank you FR: a friend in the the USA. Edit 2022… I bought a F8! Love it. Thinking about getting an IPE exhaust
Thank you for your kind words, pyrootchnich. Glad to have been of service.
How's the F8?
@@jafooli Love it. Superior in every way to the 458 except in exhaust note.
Which is not insignificant!
F8s are great. Which Color did you choose?
@@2TP22 Tour de France blue. And I like it because it’s somewhat understated but still pops in the sunlight 😎
Great review, guys !
Thanks!
Great video guys
Thanks, Karl
Great video. I also live in New Forest. I agree the 458 is, overall, a better car, but i still love to own the 488 for some reason. It cuts through the Forest corners like a knife. Keep up the great work. 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Why do you think the 458 is overall a better car? On so many levels it is far behind the 488.
I love these guys reviews on these two Italian beast. “It’s like driving a brick isn’t it?”😆😂🤣
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.
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
Holy cow! Well held together with the window smashing!
Thanks
In ten years time, both will be regarded as slow. Only one will have the last great Ferrari drivetrain though. The 488 will be worthless.
Well, I doubt it, as long as it rolls on road legal tyres, there are simply physical limitations... so an acceleration below 2.5s to 62mph is unlikely, no matter what engine you put into the car.
No one cares about 0-60, but 50-150 could easily halve in 10 years time.
phenomenal video well done!
Thank you very much - it was a tough one to do, so much appreciated
Window is gonna break soon anxiety during the entire video 😅
Smashing video guys, great comparison that I've not seen done before in such detail. Also great to see that you didn't do a clickbait video...facepalm thumbnail and "my Ferrari is destroyed" title etc like erm certain youtubers, you know who I mean. P.s Bullet proof glass for the Pista it is then!.
Thanks, Adam. We're too old for clickbait :). This is our first really big comparison, but I'm sure it won't be the last. It was a bit old 'mutha' to complete, but hopefully everyone will enjoy 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.
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
Enjoyed the video and subscribed!
Thank you, Franco
Just closed on a 2013 458 Spider. Thanks for the review....I told you I cancelled the 488 order.
Incredible. Enjoy the Spider - it's an awesome car
458!
cool video😊👍👍and glad you weren't injured by the shattered glass...I had driver side glass explode in my face too a few years back..but it wasn't a stone.it was a motorcycle helmet..a poor bloke decided it would be wise to run a red light..
If I can have the engine of 458 transferred to the body of 488 that would be the dream ferrari
I agree !
Hell no if you get a 488 with a 458 engine your car is going to be slower the 488 is way faster than the 458 the only thing that could make sense is the other way around if you love the 458 look and change the engine to get the 488 so your car is faster but honestly the 458 is a gorgeous car but looking at it now it aged pretty quickly looking the aventador look not that old compare to that the best is still the laferrari but for his price the 488 is better
Nabil El Maniaa - The only thing that could slow your comment down would be punctuation
Nah...the 488 is wickedly faster and much prettier than a 458!!!
This is my favorite channel right now. Thanks for making me happy. 458 4life
Thank you very much - glad to be of service
I actually have to say I prefer the looks of the 488.
However what this video showed me was that the 458 features a more thought-out and intricate aero and overall design. More work has gone into it which really surprised me.
That’s because Ferrari kind of became a sell out after 2015. Pushing out new vehicles too quickly & making them with not much thought. Not too bothered anymore, all about how much money they can make.
@@Pcash246 same as everything seemingly
Great video really enjoyed it
Glad you did, Craig
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!
Truly great video guys! loved it... and agree on all counts 🤘
👍🏻👍🏻
That window alone costs more than my existence 😂😂
Thank you for this video. It actually helped my decision to buy a 2015 458.
You’re very welcome
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
I really enjoyed that guys, thanks!
I love both. And can't afford either. .by a long way. But I love the 458 a little more.
Excellent review...thanks guys. Just as an aside - how much was a new door glass?
About £700
A wonderfully unbiased entertaining review. Two great cars even though one key looks like a bar of soap. I just wish I could afford any Ferrari.
Thanks, Lawrence - glad you liked it
unbiased?
As in there's no incentive for us to like or dislike either of them, so it's completely down to personal choice
Was lucky enough to go in a 458 spyder recently and I was blown away, can’t imagine what the 488 feels like. Great video👍
Thanks, Joe
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.
Very nice video. Terrific job. How about a video with the 458 Aperta with these two? Also are you getting a 488 Pista? Cheers
Sorry but all you need is to watch at 6:46... N/A wins all the time as such a car is all about the experience...Thx for the review, good things as always.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It's all about the noise :)
TheMpamMpam yeah that sound is horrendous
There are radio controls on the backside of the steering wheel (in front of paddles). One side is volume & other changes stations.
That “something” looks like it was thrown from the vehicle passing you on the other side
Jealous people frowing stuff on people's cars
Best comparison video ever. How much to fix the window?
I think it was about £800
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.
Think you're right about the 2-tone paint work (well, the darker roof). Looks great.
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.
