I don't think I can overstate how much I would rather have this than 99% of the exotic cars being made today. This car is a masterpiece.

The 458 is one of few cars that are truly timeless.

6:58 I could listen to that all day, every day. Music to my ears.

Man you’ve been driving some fire cars.

When I was a teen, my dad and I went to go look at the new models at a Ferrari dealership while on vacation. A brand representative, knowing full well we had no real intent (or means) to make a purchase, let me start up the white 458 Spider on the second floor. It was such a small occasion, and a commonplace one for those who have the access, but the memory still remains vivid 10 years on. Glad to see 458 has only gotten better with age.

The 458 is the only Ferrari I've ever dreamed of owning. What a motor

It’s amazing that this was only one generation on from the F430. The tech and capability of this is world’s apart from the 430. Also, you’re right, how is this a “slow” supercar now?? The car world is madness.

This came out 2009, but if it was released today, I don’t think anybody would be mad. The design aged beautifully. That naturally aspirated v8 with the 9000rpm redline is a gem.

Probably the best engine sound ever.

The high watermark for Ferrari V8- the 458 and 458 Speciale. God bless natural aspiration.

I firmly believe the 458 was the last of the truly driver-focused normal Ferrari, obviously excluding the Pista and such cars. With the noise and the perfect amount of power, the 458 remains one of the best cars I have driven to date, period. Great video again Tom!

This is my favorite Ferrari ever. Gorgeous looks, high-revving naturally aspirated V8 with enough power to enjoy without killing yourself, paired to a great DCT gearbox. And that sound. Oh my

Perfect to watch in class for my project

458 Italia is hands down my favorite modern Ferrari.

The design is so modern, looks on par with contemporaries from 10 years later. Like you mentioned not 2 minutes in to the video. This is a great design, and a great car. And a great video bringing it all together.

The 458 has aged so well. My favorite modern Ferrari because it has it all: looks, performance, character, sound, involvement.

The sound!!! Holy shit. 10 years on and it's still IT. Why bother with the new ones?!??! This was the 458 POV video I needed in my life. I need a trust fund, ugh.

The 458 Speciale is my dream modern Ferrari sports car, a quick and smooth DCT with a high revving NA V8.

I would still have this over their latest and more powerful models. That sound is the best. Great gearbox, and more than powerful enough.

12:01 that is such a great point. I feel like in the search of "perfection" and 0-60s, the modern supercar is slowly losing its soul.

The 458 is the ultimate dream car for me. No, it doesn't have the screaming Lamborghini v12. No, it isn't as fast as a stock c8 Corvette to 60. What it does have though is unarguable, incredible beauty. An NA v8 that sings to you with every rev and redline. A gearbox that allows you to be the musician in a high pitched, violent, screaming orchestra as you delicately work your way through the gears. A design that is so timeless, it will look good from every angle, every time, forever. This car is the ultimate v8 supercar, and for me, it always will be

458 is a legend, and IMO the best modern Ferrari you can buy.

Last V8 NA.....Meraviglioso.........Greatings from Italy, great video.....

Someone is having loads of car fun these days. Thanks for sharing. and You're right, this Ferrari is beautiful and sounds great.

The 458 has aged incredibly gracefully. By no means the car looks like 2009. And the noise it makes is just biblical!

When I first saw the 458 on the front of Forza I was in love and that sound!!!!

Was working for Ferrari when these were debuted. There were days when I got to drive 8 of these lol

Immediately looks up Ferrari 458 for sale 😂. That engine sounds so good to this day!

The 458 and the f12 were the last, and best Ferrari's to date. The two final Pininfarina master pieces.

Aside from the navigation software, this car hasn't aged a day since it came out 15 years ago. Both the exterior and the interior look completely modern, even better than modern. It's timeless.

Probably the most beautiful modern supercar ever made. An instant classic.

One of the best car Ferrari ever made. Future classic. Incredible.

Such a cool sound. It's nice to see that you're getting to review cars such as these.

Those downshifts sound so beautiful

2011 still looks like it just came out, ages so well!!

in my opinion (as an Italian living in the motor valley), this is the best sounding Ferrari EVER.

Still remember the day I saw this thing for the first time. It was one of those generational cars that grabbed your attention like no other, a special one, loved by all and will always be remembered for how close to perfect it was. I'd say this is the greatest ferrari ever, the complete package!

One of the most beautiful cars ever made and one of the best car sounds ever😍😍

The most Ferrari looking Ferrari ever especially that front end and the headlights 😅😊

I hear that engine and envision Eau Rouge, Monaco, Silverstone and more. Just amazing.

This is my dream car, you’re so lucky to have had the chance to enjoy this beautiful car.

agree 100% which is why I picked one up last year, I cannot stop driving it, it is sooo fun

This car really blew me away when it was released, I was always a huge fan of the unique triple exhaust tips

Bro ferrari sounds are so beautiful

One of my favorite cars of all time! You're getting some really cool cars nowadays Tedward!

the 458’s will always keep their value. don’t get me wrong, cars like the taycan and gemera are great cars, but the tech and styling will age them. the 458 will look and feel great for a long while

Amazing how modern and beautiful this thing still looks 10 years later

I'll take this over the much faster, sonically deficient turbo-charged current crap! that naturally aspirated V8 is a joy to listen to!

beautiful. I sat in a 488 spider (670hp) a few weeks ago and i was about to shit my pants, i cant imagine this...

Man i fucking love this channel. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't stop making content. You are the god of car content.

Probably my favorite supercar

Such a killer machine! To me, too much about driving is hoping strangers don't do something stupid. I'd be way scared driving this around!

can't believe this car is 10 years old. Time fly. It looks just as modern as it is today.

I'm absolutely in love with the video and the car, you sparked my love for the 458 again after many years of being kinda bored of it. The condition on the video seems insane, such a beauty and possibly a dream spec for a more daily chill car instead a weekend/track toy (in that case I'd prefer the alcantara racing seats). Thank you so much for the video, loved every single second of it.

To me this has to be the best selling Ferrari ever, cause every time a person refers to the brand this comes to mind most of the time🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is literally the exact car that I want. Everything about it.

Gotta say, I currently drive a Model 3. But I could listen to this beautiful noise all day long. Dream car material 😍

Amazing Sound. Really so sweet. Also do enjoy seeing the new england roads.

12 years old and it still looks from the future

absolutely beautiful... such a perfect silhouette, sound... everything

The Ferrari I'd want to own and drive every day would be a manual F430. The last gated manual Ferrari, mid engine, modern tech without super intrusive systems. But I'm just a simple man who wants to row his own gears. Objectively, I think the 458 is the best mid-engine Ferrari of all time (besides their limited run cars like Enzo, LaFerrari etc). Prettier than what came before and after, a piece of art. That engine is what makes these cars, the fact that you have to wind it out and just ring it by it's neck to get the most of it, while being rewarded by the best V8 sound of all time... It's just something you don't get in modern Ferraris. And the torque isn't so stupidly high that you'll breath on the throttle and have it step out from under you like the Turbo cars. You have to be delibrate to get that power, it's not just there when you don't expect it. You work for it, and it works for you. I've driven one of these on track, just 3 laps, but it was the second most confidence inspiring vehicle I've ever driven on track (1st was 911 991 GT3). Both high revving, NA cars, which I don't think is coincidence. Instant torque at 2000RPM that modern turbo cars have is great for racing light to light, but I don't think it's more fun. Unlike the GT3, the 458 inspires passion at any speed. It just feels special, at 200MPH or at idle, race track or parking lot. I used to think Ferrari was a brand for people to just show off, to LOOK like they loved cars. Driving this car is what changed that opinion. Exquisite automobile. (Incidentally, I drove a Gallardo the same day and it wasn't anywhere close to as fun and nimble as this)

Idk y but I love the looks of the 458 over the 488

I opened this just after driving this in my dream. Man that was so real. That day is coming to me.

Nice review buddy. I was never a Ferrari fan until I drove one of these on track. This was back before i had any skills developed but i could still tell this car was special. The engine and chassis are just so approachable and rewarding. Fast forward to now its still in my opinion the best modern day “super car”.

this car is so wonderful that i didn't even know it was cloudy, gray and crappy out until you said it. That's how much brighter this car makes your day. :)

Great video and commentary Thank you for sharing. Car sounds incredible

I had a chance to rent one of these outside of Maranello for 20 minutes, while the hairy-chested Italian man next to me kept taunting me to go faster. Top 5 moments in my life. The sound...my god the sound.

Your videos never fail to capture the joy of a spirited drive.

You keep improving your content man! Love it!

Hell of an intro!!

I was fortunate to drive one of these on the streets of Maranello. At the time, the 430 Scuderia blew me away, but the 458 was so smooth and refined in comparison. Two very different cars but wonderful in their own way. I’ll never forget driving either of them.

Out of all the Ferrari's this one has such an amazing sounding engine.

This is, in my eyes, the ultimate Ferrari. It's got an awesome screaming NA V8, a beautiful and elegant design that is unmatched by Ferrari today, and what seems to be essentially the ideal balance of tech and raw performance.

The vision of that engine under glass is amazing! The 458 may be the most collectible Ferrari EVER!

Teddwarddd you’re so lucky. Love the 458. Been wanting this car for a long time..

The only modern supercars/super sportscars that remind me of how supercars like the 458 were are the Huracán EVO RWD, 992 GT3, or a C7 Corvette Grand Sport. Lightweight, not too powerful, and amazing performance without too much compromise.

Timeless as it gets. It's stunning and still amazing that this design is over 10 years old

I remember Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the 458 from 2010. Have been a fan ever since.

Great car. It looks fantastic, it sounds fantastic ! What's not to love ? Thank you for sharing.

the exit 45B at 5:25 is such a nice touch

Was waiting for this one for some time!

You are living the dream dude. And I’m here for it.

Watching you drive roads I know is so awesome

You make excellent points, ones I've been saying as well myself. We sold our GTR last year and picked up a 2020 Lotus Evora when looking for a new high performance car, just for these very reasons ...you can actually enjoy sub 600 HP cars and in our case a 400 ish HP Lotus, where as the 700hp and higher cars we test drove, were essentially useless on public roads. The gearbox in the 718 manual we drove was useless as well, as you're in getting arrested territory in 2nd gear...like you said, what are you supposed to do with that? If I was going to pick any Ferrari, I'd take a 458 too.

Those trumpet FIAMM horns are what I love about 80's exotic cars. Ever since Cannonball Run I've wanted a set.

Track day today, mclaren 650s, huracan and the 458 italia. I want the 458... now i need to get saving!

The best modern ferrari ever !

Tedward you give honest opinions and reactions. I appreciate it as a car lover. Thank you 🙏🏽

Great Review 👍 and magical sound 👌

What a car and what a video! Drove a 458 on a track day and I was amazing how easy it was to drive around at normal speeds (to get on track and off track). Yet the performance and drama of that engine is amazing! Totally agree on the looks too, 10 years old that car still looks modern. My dream super car for sure, maybe not in red though! Would draw too much attention for me.

When I was 4 this was my dream car!!

10 years old and still looks modern

I’m so glad you’re doing a review on this.

You’ve got some savage blinker game. It shows integrity.

Great start to my day! 🔥🔥

EXCELLENT SIMPLIFISTIC DESIGN WITH EXCILARATING ATMOSPHERIC SOUND

Thanks for the review!! A really great look at a great car!

i didn't look at the title and couldnt believe this wasn't a brand new car until you mentioned it was a 2011. Amazingly modern looking but in the best way

What a great video and vibe. I dream in having one of those, one day I will enjoy it

All I know is I applaud you for driving this on Boston roads. I'm terrified of potholes in my hatchback, can't imagine in this
