+Johny Piston never want to use that shit... i learned from a friend it's a bad idea when your wifes in the car and a... "friend" whos a girl calls you ;)
Shit. He is in 50 at 5k rpm in first.lol goes you never drove an gt car. When hes in second well over 100mph he hits third in these cars quite a bit. Pay attention. He says the gear hes in sometimes.
What makes this guy so much better than every other UA-cam car guy is that he can out drive every one of them, and he could care less about what anyone thinks. These other guys are putting around L.A. having no idea how to even shift a DSG and they care more about shows and who's seeing them drive down the road. This guy is out there alone just absolutely killing it. He wants to pass cafe bikes that are doing 120. He puts each car through its paces.. He's a great driver and he loves to drive. He does not care what anyone else thinks, he's in it for the experience.
I find myself agreeing with this more and more as time goes on. The Pista is something else but I don't think anything else comes close for the an all rounder at the money they are now.
The correction was spot on! As a scientist myself, I appreciate someone willing to admit they were wrong, in public. It didn't detract anything from the video either, IMO. AND we got some additional cool info about the car.
+Francis Arnaud I don't know exactly what max RPM ferrari sounds like, but I'll take Matt's word for it when he talks about taking it to 8000 in the video.
the redline difference is of a 1000rpms. 8000rpm's for the 488 9000 for the 458. not a huge difference though. the sound is different because of different engine designs.
Might just be my favorite one take yet. In this video, you seem much more casual and relaxed, even compared to some of your other one takes. It could be do to the fact that you've had time to get comfortable with the car, that the car is just so good, or that you don't have to worry about holding a conversation with a passenger, but I like it a lot. This longer, more casual form of video is really great when the car itself is so damn cool. Keep it up, man.
Driving a supercar at speed is very easy. Driving some crazy tuner car at speed is much different. There's always some component, some weak link somewhere, that keeps the car from feeling as comfortable at speed.
Gotta understand that theres always going to be people whining and complaining about something. It's 2016 and people are still whining that 911s are liquid cooled. Ok yes, the 488 doesn't sound as good as a 458, but it still sounds pretty damn good and its a better car in just about every other way. Also keep in mind, the 288 GTO and F40 were TT v8s, and those are considered by many to be the best cars to ever be assembled by the firm, so this is by no means sacrilege.
The 288 and F40 had turbos yes but for different purposes. They were for adding hp to small engines for bug power. Not fuel efficiency like the 488 is.
Clayton Cortina There is unfortunately no defeating regulations anymore. Ferrari did it for as long as they could and sadly I see lamborghini eventually going that direction as well.
+Dantheman yep. The damn Euro market and regulations. Well at least the 458 is going to only appreciate in value now. Especially the Speciale and Aperta versions
These are the best car reviews I've seen on You Tube and I've seen a zillion of them including probably every Jay Leno's Garage. This guy doesn't waste your time like some others and he knows how to drive really well. I think I read somewhere yesterday that there's no more smoking tire and that makes me sad. I'd rather have read there's no more something else other than this guy. Thanks for producing videos without fluff. I wish you well in future endeavors.
Matt Farah, I just want to congratulate you on the success of TheSmokingTire channel lately. I've been subscribed since this first kicked off and I'm glad I stuck around. Your content is very enjoyable to watch and I feel it is still not even at its peak yet. Keep up the great work! Also, I do miss you on the /Drive channel!
+MegaSturrup i cried, when i was informed the end of the naturally aspirated 4.5l v8 in the 458 and that they'll implement the new 4.0l biturbo v8 in the new 488gtb. I mean ferrari could have been waiting with that downsizing shit.
I remember an engineer talking about how they alleviated most the of turbo noise in the induction sound to punctuate the engine note. I think they did a fine job!
That motorcyclist was a d*ck for not letting him by on the two lane. Great vid. Thorough review and explanation of almost every aspect of the car. Thanks, thumbs up and subscribed.
Dude - you have no apologizes to make, you are driving real cars or real roads under real conditions. I love it, I don't watch all the videos...but ones like this with the Ferrari 488 or any Mustang video and I will be watching. I know you are having fun all the time, thanks so much for doing this!!
Great video and review! I loved that you really drove the car and put it through its paces. I've once driven the Ferrari California in Italy and was really impressed with the performance. But the 488 is a lot faster. I can only imagine the thrill of driving that car. Must be exhilarating!
Magnificent video Matt.. of a Magnificent car... on some fricking amazing roads! The roads are so amazing I had to get them into a Sim Racing game. The game is Assetto Corsa... The track is called L.A. Canyons :) A big big thank you for showing me these roads Matt!
I absolutely love this guys critque, this is my favourite car its just so useable and its looks are so much better that the 458 which is a great looking car itself, those intercooler inlets are so gorgeous and that power band just wow.
This seems like one of those amazing cars that goes so fast that you go into a corner thinking holy shit I'm going too fast but then brakes easily slow you down and the turn in is beautiful and the rush of excitement you get from making the turn not just okay but beautifully is overwhelming. I'm usually an American car guy but this thing looks awesome and I agree it seems way under priced.
I swear, I hope Matt Farrah never stops making these videos. These are so much more informative and more fun to watch than pretty much any other reviewer out there.
Great stuff. I also love what they've done with the engine settings, not having full performance in every gear but getting it gradually as you shift up. They say that makes it feel like a N/A engine.
Keys to flying under the radar is knowing your environment, knowing the type of people that will drive the same road, and looking ahead as far as you can. Sometimes on coming traffic signal what's ahead. If you see a biker tap their helmet slow down.
I guess I'm just paranoid about cops on backroads from bad luck episodes several years back. I normally don't drive hard unless there's no one else on the road and I can physically see that there's not a cop sitting around a corner or something. Maybe once I get away from a cdl career I won't be as paranoid.
Superb video as always, Matt. I love the way these one-takes are so natural feeling, and lacking in bullshit (cinematic bullshit, presentation bullshit, bullshit bullshit etc.). You and Chris Harris are the absolute top two car reviewers.
Matt, I feel the same way about the 458 Spider; I've driven several of them, every time an event. The buttons on the steering wheel at first seems like madness, but once you get your head around it and start to drive FAST, it becomes so intuitive that other cars just pale by comparison. Simply the best car ever built that sells under $1m.
Ah yes a production car with a 3L V10 that revs to a casual 19,000 RPM. I'm sure that won't have a warranty longer than 15 hours as the engines that made that great sound lasted a race weekend and that was it. There's also the fact that Ferrari has never used a V10 in their road cars and only made a V10 in their Formula 1 cars because of the regulations in Formula 1 at the time. With the way emissions standards are now you will never see another new naturally aspirated and non-hybrid Ferrari ever again. It's sad, but it's the only reality.
The Ferrari FXX with its V12 sounded very similar to a V10 F1 car, even though it's engine was not able to rev 18,000rpm. I guess all Ferraris can't sound exactly the same for model variation. Most people who can actually afford a Ferrari probably do not want an excessively loud exhaust sound anyway.
Great review! Love the passion and excitement while you were driving. I laughed myself as I watched you laugh when you hit the throttle. I hope to one day get the chance to drive one myself. Looks like an insane amount of fun! Cheers!
Wow awesome car! Good on you Matt for keeping a cool head on the road. No one cuts you slack when you're driving a prancing horse. Nowadays a lot of cars out pace some bikes and everyone's got to keep a cool head so we all can play and go home for dinner when we're done.
Hey, we just bought the 488 gtb in Australia, comes in march 2018. loved the video and literally can not wait to get it. The people who talk about picking the 458 over the 488 have no idea how good this car is... top video mate, sub'd!
Variety makes me a fan . Hadn't thought of this car in a while and here Matt's taking us for a ride. Sit back, push the troubles away, it's gonna be a good day tater
+U2 Guitar Tutorials most force-inducted engines doesn't sound as good as a naturally aspirated ones, but a little tweak on the exhaust system would solve the problem just fine. take GTR for instance, V6 turbo, powerful & efficient, sounds great when paired with the right aftermarket exhaust and tuned properly.
thanks to the owner for letting you drive their car. What a beauty. I like watching your videos along with Chris Harris' because you see the racing potential versus street enjoyment. very different. enjoyed. thx
I love the 488 so much!! It's such a gorgeous car. Oh by the way I'm pretty happy to see the CT app ad in the beginning of the video!! I've been in CT for about 2 years now :)
I just don't understand why he doesn't pass the slow moving cars on the left lane. I mean, he's already breaking the law by going over the speed limit. What is he afraid of?
+Swagg S There's no proof that he's speeding. The speedometer is never clearly visible. Passing over the double-yellow would literally be filming incriminating evidence of himself. Also, a dick move.
+canonphoto it's whatever the jealousy would by insane and all he could do was block Matt, but more importantly he wanted to piss of a Ferrari owner but all he ended up doing was stopping the crazy cool biker from chasing Matt so he kinda fucked over his own team
I had the pleasure of driving a 2017 488 gtb in Nero Daytona metallic and yes she is imazing to drive. She's coming home soon and will be sitting next to my 1199S panagali . Can't wait, thanks for the vid.
The one downside to having such a crazy capable car is that your never get to see it's full potential on the road. Even with Matt driving it relatively hard the car sounds like it's working at like 30% of it's capacity. Is it better to drive a slower car fast, or drive a fast car slow?
+DCassidy42 How is that a downside? You're a fucking idiot if you're seeing the full potential of a Miata on a public road, so how is a Ferrari any different?
+koopatroopa187 Taking a car to it's limits is inherently satisfying and kind of the intention of having a sports car, no?. Not being able to do that kind of defeats the purpose of having something with such high limits. It's like owning a ford raptor and the most action it will see is a pothole. If you aren't using something to within 60% of it's potential what's the point? The Ferrari is amazing don't get me wrong, but you really need to get on a track to truly appreciate the car.
I absolutely love the small moment of tranquility before it comes on cam during launch, it's like "dump, 0.23 seconds of normal acceleration, and then LUDICROUS SPEED ENGAGE!!!!!!" and it looks like it is positively thrilling.
Also let us admit that the 488 does a quarter mile in 10.9 and from launch you accelerated unabashedly for like 9 seconds. Were you doing something near the neighborhood of 13 miles an hour in under 10 seconds? That shit looked so damn fun.
Matt how does it compare to the 458 Italia according to you? I've driven one and to me it was the most perfect car ever. Can't believe this beats it. :P
The 488 anyone can buy (not limited) the 675LT is a limited edition limited to 500. Hence the price difference. They are trading way above their list price as well. I'm sure the depreciation on the 488 will be high.
You're lucky Matt. I got to sit in one back in October and fell in love. Usually I can write off exotics as unobtainable, but the 488 is a car I HAVE to drive at some point.
Car throttle was good, then they launched the app and all the 10 year olds got it. Now its just a load of skyline and gtr pictures. Shame. That being said, this was an excellent one take, pretty cool car.
+Ryan Robinson No doubt, hell even a normal 458 when considering some aspects, but the 488 is clearly faster. Just wish the 488 had the same scream the 458 had!
Well jell! Thankyou for the video, beautiful view, sound deadening is positive. Correct about international licence upgrade necessaries. But needs to become more affordable for the gripes of common electronics...if only I could afford one but the experience provided is a good insight.

It’s amazing how he pushes these car fast while staying under the 50MPH speed limit
Shit. He is in 50 at 5k rpm in first.lol goes you never drove an gt car. When hes in second well over 100mph he hits third in these cars quite a bit. Pay attention. He says the gear hes in sometimes.
I always obey the speed limits in weekend country driving with a 911 or S4. I try to keep it under 3 times the limit.
@@johnanthony5931 went right over your head didnt it?
John Anthony lol second wont hit 100 in any of these cars 😂

"One of the best cars I've ever driven"...already sold coming from someone with as much seat time as yourself. Beautiful car.
I find myself agreeing with this more and more as time goes on. The Pista is something else but I don't think anything else comes close for the an all rounder at the money they are now.
"Everybody should buy these."
Ayy lmao. That's the spirit!
This was a treat to watch! Can't wait to get our hands on one!
Love you guy's systems for the gtr... But ferraris are already perfect.
+RJ Echols I'd have to disagree. Most modern Ferraris can be improved by certain exhausts.
+RJ Echols Doesn't hurt to give it a go. You might be pleasantly surprised!
well if you prove me wrong then i'll buy one for my 488 ;) lol jk i'm broke
The correction was spot on! As a scientist myself, I appreciate someone willing to admit they were wrong, in public. It didn't detract anything from the video either, IMO. AND we got some additional cool info about the car.
Wait. You’re something of a scientist yourself?
The sound feels like a 458 that hasn't been pushed all the way to its max rpm
+Francis Arnaud I don't know exactly what max RPM ferrari sounds like, but I'll take Matt's word for it when he talks about taking it to 8000 in the video.
That's because of the turbo chargers. They take some of the noise away, as well as not revving as high
the redline difference is of a 1000rpms. 8000rpm's for the 488 9000 for the 458. not a huge difference though. the sound is different because of different engine designs.

Fire Blade its called a flat plane crank. doesnt sound like a conventional v8 because of that

exactly why people hate bikes

Variety makes me a fan . Hadn't thought of this car in a while and here Matt's taking us for a ride. Sit back, push the troubles away, it's gonna be a good day tater
Amazing car, but doesn't sound as great as the 458. Much more muted.
Can't argue with performance though.
+U2 Guitar Tutorials most force-inducted engines doesn't sound as good as a naturally aspirated ones, but a little tweak on the exhaust system would solve the problem just fine. take GTR for instance, V6 turbo, powerful & efficient, sounds great when paired with the right aftermarket exhaust and tuned properly.
+Alvin Cornelius
But neither the 488 or GTR will sound as good as the 458.
bighands69 couldn't agree more. I saw one in person back in singapore, hearing it start up, cold, gave me the best eargasm I've ever had
Huh, you like cars too? Sweet
thanks to the owner for letting you drive their car. What a beauty. I like watching your videos along with Chris Harris' because you see the racing potential versus street enjoyment. very different. enjoyed. thx
Not sure, but I think I got the impression you liked that car.
I love the 488 so much!! It's such a gorgeous car. Oh by the way I'm pretty happy to see the CT app ad in the beginning of the video!! I've been in CT for about 2 years now :)
Btw this is a car on my list of I NEED to own it one day!! Or at least a 458 :)
Fastest 18 minutes of my life. That sir was an epic drive. Thank you!
Thank-you for this!!! Came home from a shitty day at work and this totally put a smile on my face...well that and a bottle of wine.
How was the air conditioning?
OVERTAKEN.......... One Take first if i'm not mistaken !!!!!!! Well done Mr Motorcycle>>>
He Knows what the double yellows are there for
More one takes on Hyper cars please! Also I know you may be trying, but could you get an Agera R or some koenigsegg, Please.
awesome video... so glad Matt is getting support to drive the hell out of cool cars.
I just don't understand why he doesn't pass the slow moving cars on the left lane. I mean, he's already breaking the law by going over the speed limit. What is he afraid of?
Good point.
+Swagg S There's no proof that he's speeding. The speedometer is never clearly visible. Passing over the double-yellow would literally be filming incriminating evidence of himself. Also, a dick move.
+Colin Rose that bike blocking off that left double lane was sure a dick move!
+canonphoto it's whatever the jealousy would by insane and all he could do was block Matt, but more importantly he wanted to piss of a Ferrari owner but all he ended up doing was stopping the crazy cool biker from chasing Matt so he kinda fucked over his own team
That douche in the left lane is a typical clover
I had the pleasure of driving a 2017 488 gtb in Nero Daytona metallic and yes she is imazing to drive. She's coming home soon and will be sitting next to my 1199S panagali . Can't wait, thanks for the vid.
The one downside to having such a crazy capable car is that your never get to see it's full potential on the road. Even with Matt driving it relatively hard the car sounds like it's working at like 30% of it's capacity. Is it better to drive a slower car fast, or drive a fast car slow?
exactly! but I guess it's the acceleration
Only poor people believe this
+jlopez1017d it's not difficult to afford a 400+HP sports car theses days.
+DCassidy42 How is that a downside? You're a fucking idiot if you're seeing the full potential of a Miata on a public road, so how is a Ferrari any different?
+koopatroopa187 Taking a car to it's limits is inherently satisfying and kind of the intention of having a sports car, no?. Not being able to do that kind of defeats the purpose of having something with such high limits. It's like owning a ford raptor and the most action it will see is a pothole. If you aren't using something to within 60% of it's potential what's the point? The Ferrari is amazing don't get me wrong, but you really need to get on a track to truly appreciate the car.
Great video! Thanks for showing me what else I will never have.
bikers ruining everything like always
I absolutely love the small moment of tranquility before it comes on cam during launch, it's like "dump, 0.23 seconds of normal acceleration, and then LUDICROUS SPEED ENGAGE!!!!!!" and it looks like it is positively thrilling.
Also let us admit that the 488 does a quarter mile in 10.9 and from launch you accelerated unabashedly for like 9 seconds. Were you doing something near the neighborhood of 13 miles an hour in under 10 seconds? That shit looked so damn fun.
+Riley Hughes car and driver recorded a 10.5 in this very car ;)
+TheSmokingTire legendary!!! hahaha that is incredibly cool, thanks for the data
matt, what car stayed with you the most after all these one takes?
I loved Matt's Public Service Announcement on the sticker price.
How does it compare to the supercharged Huracan?
+Themayseffect I was thinking the same thing.
Brilliant to watch this driving footage on beautiful roads Matt thank you
Matt how does it compare to the 458 Italia according to you? I've driven one and to me it was the most perfect car ever. Can't believe this beats it. :P
The 458 was perfect when I drove it. This is better.
+Max Power What?
+Max Power It says 458 Italia in his comment? Besides, you don't need to call it by it's full name, everyone knows what a 458 is.
+Max Power You're such a tool
+Max Power "People from Phoenix are called Phoenicians."
Insane camera clarity on these recent vids Matt, very impressed!
I need my clutch with da gear stick. Paddle shifters are bs to me...
Edgy...
You wouldn't want a stick in this..
+Heel Toe they got lambo& porshe in stick
+Heel Toe why it be bad ass so it's slower ok it's not a drag car. You would just have to GASP! Drive the car I know crazy
+Kartel #1Fan You haven't been able to get a Lamborghini with a stick for years now.
I have to say Mr. Matt I love your videos. You are such a delight to watch. Keep up the good work!
The 488 anyone can buy (not limited) the 675LT is a limited edition limited to 500. Hence the price difference. They are trading way above their list price as well. I'm sure the depreciation on the 488 will be high.
You're lucky Matt. I got to sit in one back in October and fell in love. Usually I can write off exotics as unobtainable, but the 488 is a car I HAVE to drive at some point.
Car throttle was good, then they launched the app and all the 10 year olds got it. Now its just a load of skyline and gtr pictures. Shame.
That being said, this was an excellent one take, pretty cool car.
I would take 458 speciale over this any day
Same
+Ryan Robinson No doubt, hell even a normal 458 when considering some aspects, but the 488 is clearly faster. Just wish the 488 had the same scream the 458 had!
+Ryan Robinson fuck that. i'd get a 488 and a 991 GT3 for the same price.
+Ryan Robinson 100%
+Ryan Robinson I'd take an F-type and some play money
Well jell! Thankyou for the video, beautiful view, sound deadening is positive. Correct about international licence upgrade necessaries. But needs to become more affordable for the gripes of common electronics...if only I could afford one but the experience provided is a good insight.
The carbon itself costs 10 times as much as my car lol
+2013GTRNate lol my car was 7500$
