#Ferrari #458Vs488 #windowsmashing
This week TheCarGuys take the new Ferrari 488 GTB and test it versus Damianās 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 itās worth upgrading from a 430 to a 458, or whether itās 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, donāt hesitate to leave comments on this video, or hit us up on Instagram.
* Note ā performance figures quoted in the Top Trumps section of this video are based on TheCarGuysā 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 ā 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.

Heart says 458, brain says 488. Pocket says FIAT PUNTO 1998
-
Iām 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.
-
I like nearly everything more in the 458
-
The 458 is better looking, better sounding and better value. The 458 has already a classic smell š
-
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 š
-
And thatās the reason why Iām 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!
-
A 458 with 488 back would be perfect for me
-
488's paint color is stunning
-
I want a 458 but my bank account wants a bike
-
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!
-
I like the 488 GTB, it just looks so smart and beautiful.
-
feel sorry for the next generation - they'll be comparing the sound of electric motors ...
-
What a great comparison guy,I really enjoyed the video,have to say it was quite terrifying to see the window break
-
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!
-
Awesome guys. 458 all the way
-
I prefer the 458
-
Thank you so much for this review, I literally wanted to know exactly everything you talked about before making my purchase, well done, cheers!
-
The banter between you two Geezers is the best on You Tube. Your comparisons are incredibly good and real world detailed. Keep ĆØm coming.

0-60 of the 458 Italia is 3.3. The 458 Speciale was 3.0šš»
