    For me the sound is everything in sports cars that is why I have never liked McLaren cars they feel dull and Ferraris have become like McLaren so yes Ferrari lost its soul. those cars are insanely fast so it doesn't matter if there is a 150 or 200 horsepower difference and performance is something appreciated on the track by experts not normal people who buy Ferraris to enjoy the drive in the city.

      its almost like they took the easier path to getting more horsepower out of the car by adding the turbos. The other way would probably increase the engine capacity into "bull" territory.

      This is spot on! For me the pinnacle of Ferrari was the 458, the last naturally-aspirated V8. Twin turbo engines don’t sound the same as a full throttle naturally aspirated V8. What’s really sad is the day when everyone has an electric car with engine sounds artificially piped in to remind us of better times. Yikes.

    I haven't had the privilege of driving an F8 but I love my 458 because I feel totally in control at all times I've driven cars that are overpowered and always was afraid I was going to die in them I would love to put my foot to the floor and know that I have it under control at all times so for that reason I'll probably Enjoy my 458 for quite a long time.

Thanks for the excellent comparison.

    The 458 is better keeping stock or maybe just modding the exhaust. The turbo cars 488 to f8 and beyond is screaming to get modded with bigger turbos, exhaust and tune like the gintani 488. They're both different kinds of fun. I would love to be blessed owning both of them one day.

    I would take the 458 for sure. The sound bugs me on the F8. Much Faster? Yes but emotion? Not so much without the roar. Plus like you say, the 458 looks like the car came out in 2021. I think the design of it will last still for a long time.

    I think preferences are also dependent upon where you are driving as well. Out West, where roads are straighter and the consequences of making a mistake are less, you can utilize more of the power in the F8. Where I drive, in the mountains of the Blue Ridge, the F8 would not be as much fun as a car you can utilize more of the HP, like the 458. I've had more fun driving cars where I can utilize nearly all of the HP and handling the car can give than in cars where there was so much power, you have to short shift it. Even my F430 has more power than the roads I drive can really handle, but its nowhere near an F8.
    Lastly, geography can shape the sound envelope even more. In the Blue Ridge, you get an enclosed envelope of trees, bushes, leaves etc that dramatically increases sound volume on a car compared to where you were driving. While I like the looks of the F8 the best, Pista even more, the 430 and 458 are designed more for my environment than the F8 and the 430 over the 458 in the Blue Ridge. The 458 will be my next car, but it will end there for me.
    Nice fair and balanced review, but I did notice that up and until the rolling race, you did seem to be having more fun in the F8, judging by your facial expressions.

    I seriously tend to agree with this.
    One of the reasons why I went backwards and bought a visceral Ferrari f430.
    Too much refinement is ruining everything.
    As well as the cost for such refinement.
    Car makers don't know when to stop It's like putting extra brush strokes on the Mona Lisa It's not necessary.
    I like many others by cars for the visceral feeling and if this is your cup of tea more power to you.
    We have a GTR with twin turbos pretty much all we need and it's all wheel drive.
    All the other vehicles are for the experience. 👍

    Most people can’t manage 400hp, and still talking about more HP and performance in the F8. The real deal here is the soul and passion that a 458 has and the F8 Don’t. Not only because of the sound and feel, but because of the perfection of the design of Pininfarina with this and the F12, their real last Ferraris.

I was impressed when I saw it on drag times destroying the Lamborghini. Speed is not everything there is no comparison to the sound drama the naturally aspirated engine has. After all the Ferrari 458 as fast enough where are you going to be driving it so fast unless you’re on the track. I’ll take the 458 with Capristo exhaust any day

    IMO no, Turbo's have not killed the V8 Ferrari. Ferrari has been forced to adapt to the market. Change is good. One of the most iconic Ferraris is a Turbo car, the F40. Now with Turbo cars, Ferrari can compete on performance against the competition. Competition has helped Ferrari bring higher hp V8 cars to market that are uniquely Ferrari. The NSX helped bring about the F355 and the 360/430. The McLarens and other competitors helped bring about the 458 and 488/F8. Soon I believe, if you don't have hybrid power you won't be competing at the top. I also think new noise regulations has muted all cars more than the switch to Turbos. Just add a quality exhaust to most any car and the sound is back. For some the F8 is more of a challenge to drive fast, that is a good thing. However, they person that isn't going to push the F8 anyway and make it move around still gets the car they can drive too. The entry level Ferrari has always been a used Ferrari for some. Now, they are just more expensive than ever and way faster. LOL

    Half the point of these exotic cars is the sound and looks. You can find the same level of performance in a cheaper car, so its about how the car makes you feel. The Ferrari 458 is probably a better exotic car because it sounds louder/raw and is fast enough. I would also bet in the long term the 458 will be more desirable as a classic car as well.

    458 vs 488 would've been a better comparison for the turbo transition and i believe the marketplace has made its decision. 458 bumps right up to 488 prices even though 488 is newer. i predict as the F8 ages it will also drop to 458 prices and when both cars are past 20 years age the 458 will be the more expensive and desirable car.

    Captain Obvious here: the F8 performance in impressive, while the 458 sound is better. I'm thinking a good exhaust on the F8 might bridge part of that gap for a lot less than the required performance mods to the 458. Then again, it's like the Jennifer Aniston/Angelina Jolie comparison and we all want to be Brad Pitt.....

    I would say side intakes are major design difference! Also a homage to 308.

    Cool vid Dan:)
    To each their own.
    The difference is massive imo. There is so much scuttle shake in the 458 that it ruins the experience. Both the 488 and F8 Spider are much better in this regard.
    The steering is better in the F8. Both have way too much understeer, but the feel of the F8 is vastly improved.
    Rattles and squeaks. To different cars with the F8 on a different level.
    Brakes in the 458 lacks cooling, badly. By comparison the 458 brakes feel wooden. The F8 brakes still need a proper track pad for track work, but overall they are much better. Both still lack a proper feel of modulation.
    Design is obviously personal. To me the 458 has grown pretty stale and I can see why Luca wanted an in-house design studio.
    To me sound is secondary. J'm in it for the drive, not the sound and attention. If I want sound, my 812 GTS has that in spades seeing it has sports cats and a GPF delete.
    To each their own. I think the 458 is rather overhyped and both successors are better and more fun cars.

    This may not appear to be popular, but I happened to buy my wife a 2023 Ferrari F8 Spider for her birthday last year. She was beyond surprised as it was completely unexpected. She loves the car and especially the drop top. The car is near perfection!
    I agree that the glove box button location was not well thought out.
    I can deal with the sound myself. My wife is another story. The handling does make up for it. The fact that she is hotter than the F8 works for me.
    Throughout our 40 years of marriage, I have bought her many cars, jewelry, clothing, and so on. She was beyond appreciative of each and every gift over the years. At the end of the day, it's all just stuff. What she has given to me is priceless! Our 40 years together, her love, friendship unwaving support & faithfulness, our 7 children and now 5 grandchildren all our money could have never bought this. Sorry, it's getting late at 1:30 am. Great video!
    To all, I am the most blessed man alive!!!!

    I'm a little tired of hearing how beautiful the sound of the 458 is. Too many people make a big deal about the last aspirated engine and it's sound. You drive a car, you don't listen to it like a radio... I test drove the GTS V12 with the top down and fell in love with that sound. If the sound is what you're looking for, buy a V12... not a V8! You go all the way... There are plenty of muscle cars that make a lot of noise and don't move...You can also buy exhaust pipes that have a better sound... I, personally find it obnoxious.... I had a 458 and it lagged at the start. It was kind of fast... but when I received my F8 Tributo, I didn't miss my 458 at all. It's so much faster... It's two generation after... I don't understand all these guys on UA-cam saying the 458 is the most beautiful Ferrari ever... When I first saw the 488, I thought it was more beautiful than the 458... They improved the design of the car... Then the F8 came out and they managed to improve the looks again. It's wider in the back and lower and updated. This is what they do... They don't make them uglier... They spend hours and hours to improve things... not make them worse... The 458 is old and there is nothing wrong with old... It's just that it isn't old enough. Old cars are beautiful when they are classic cars... The 458 isn't old enough... It's "passe' "... or "outdated"...for now... in another 10 years, at least....LOL... it was amazing when it came out, for sure.... and it will be a classic... but for now, in 2022, it's old news...old technology.... and slower than these cars coming out today...

      Thomas, I feel what you are laying down, but it's not always about better. I always tell all my friends the following: the 458 is like a hot ex-girlfriend that would do everything for you and ruins it for all the rest who came afterwards. Yes, the F8 is very fast and don't get me wrong, I love it; however, it lacks the rumbles and grumbles that the 458 still has and is quite numb/disconnected from the road. I would probably get rid of my F8 before I ever thought about getting rid of my 458.

      @@freddaniali Fair enough... what ever tickles your goat. I just received my new 2022 F8 Spider and I really really don't miss my 458 that I had years ago... Apparently they stopped making the F8... Now we will all have to switch to hybrids with smaller engines, if you want a new Ferrari. The fat sound will soon be a thing of the past...

    Turbo charging is not new to Ferrari,this is because the legendary Ferrari F40 was also turbo charged and downsized at the time.

    I've notice the same thing with Koenigsegg, I prefer the basic 2011 Agera because the RS and 1:One are just rocket ships trying to leave the planet, after a certain threshold of power you can't drive it on the road anymore. This is also why LaFerrari is my least favorite flagship Ferrari.
    Ironically Bugatti is the complete opposite, they've tamed 1,500 horsepower into a beautifully pleasant package. Above 700HP you need 4WD.

    Leather ! = I have a theory about Ferrari interiors & shrinking leather especially - the dash, seats etc.
    Italy has some very hot regions also, so I dont think that the issue is just heat per se.
    My Ferrari & most in UK are fine on leather. But ! many states in USA west coast & Midwest at least are super DRY as well as hot sometimes.
    I have been all over & some places, summer & winter are incredibly dry - there is no moisture in the air - you get some massive static shocks getting out of your car - and this is what I reckon does for Italian leather - not just the sunshine - its the lack of moisture. Just my 2 cents !

    Well I know which one you like. I like the 458 coupe lines and sound more than the F8 or 488. I don't care about the info system. I don't have it in my 2006 civic. The turbo diminished Ferrari and a Ferrari EV will destroy the company as it is doing to Jaguar.
