Aggressively beautiful. I couldn't have said it better Damian. Another fantastic video. The Pista is a masterclass in car design. The in-house team at Maranello under the direction of Flavio Manzoni knocked it out of the park with the Pista and haven't matched it since. I genuinely wonder if they will ever surpass it, because the F8, SF90 and 296 GTB are all lovely cars, but (for me) fall short of what they achieved with the Pista. I bought a Pista because (in my humble subjective opinion) it's one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. The swooping nose that perfectly intersects with the S-duct, the rear design and stance, the lines, those lines!, the proportions, my god those proportions!, the aggression, and most importantly of all - the beauty. This thing is a masterpiece of drama, theatre and elegance. To me, it's the most breathtaking Ferrari in the past 30 years. The 458 still looks sublime, but the extra drama and 'winky fizz' in the Pista pips it to the post for me. Sure, I wish it had the ferocious top end sound of the 458 Speciale and the lighter responsive steering, but to me the Pista is a more attractive design and I was willing to trade in those acoustics and imperfections for the emotional heart-wrenching visual oomph I personally get from the design. And my goodness does it shift. Imperfectly perfect. What a car!
Love how you specced your Pista, Damian. Very elegant and classy and with your unique stamp on it. Such a beautiful horse. Wishing you many more glorious miles . Great vid.
It's a beautiful car Damian, but as a non-turbo fan, the 458 Speciale will always be my favourite. 😍 Totally agree about the stupid stop / start: this has NO PLACE in any high performance car. Great vid once again, my friend! 👍🏻
I saw this at Wilton in September 2021, and thanked the man himself, this does work, and stunning in the metal. All that attention to specification has created a work of art. Awesome Damian - thank you again for the entertainment and attention to detail in this fascinating series. Always a privilege to park in the gravelled square at Wilton, I had earlier in the year at the Classic meet with one of my stable.
Your outfit and car are colour matching. Nice one! You are the most easy going and humble Ferrari owner on RUclips. You clearly enjoy having fun and don’t take trivial things too seriously. Enjoy in great health!
Phrases like “just look at it “ and “pinch myself” is key to why I enjoy this channel ,true passion and an absence of arrogance normally associated with these beautiful cars👍🏻
What a fabulous video. I love these detailed reviews of Ferraris in this series. Eyes glued to the screen for the whole of the video. You certainly have a lovely spec Pista Spider. Keep up the good work. Andy. 🚗👍
Oh man, it is so good to see that you guys still produce new content. I wasn't much on youtube last few years, last video I watched was when yellow TDF lest the garage. Keep up the good work! 🍺🍺
Damian. You were so brave on configuration , presumed you’d gone mildly wrong. Choc trim. Gold wheels. I was wrong. I love it. What a grower. Remember the old vids on this car so well. What is it with Gold wheels. We should hate them. They work so well under right body.
Damian your content and presentation of your cars is absolutely brilliant, I’ve recommended many of my friends to your channel. Long May it continue and you are truly worthy and genuine and deserve all what you have achieved. All the best my friend, Lee
The Pista is my current dream car, especially after COVID since the Lexus LFA become unaffordable for me. There are a couple specific specs that I have seen on Insta that I want the most though, mainly the Verde Kers and Viola Hong Kong specs. What I appreciate the most about Damian is that he's a harsh truths guy - very little if anything exists that is truly flawless, and calling out those errors or annoyances is key to describing the overall experience.
You’re so good at putting across the essence of a car Can you drive a 16M and review for your series I was lucky to daily one here in LA for approx a year in 2010 ( sold it for a 458 ) but it’s still one of the all time best drivers cars I’ve owned . Love to get your in depth review ( the sound is unbelievable along with the brutal single clutch shift at speed )
Great video and a stunning chocolate-centred car, Damian. Always a pleasure to see (and hear) it on your channel. Enjoyed watching this video whilst waiting for the TSS race to start at the Singapore F1! Wearing my Beans T-shirt too, obviously! Cheers!
Damian, thanks so much for sharing this gorgeous beast again! It is definitely a keeper (one I wish I had instead of my F8 Spider) and may be one of the last of it's kind.
Big fan of the spec of your Pista. Forgot about the start stop disable button...how rude! Hearing about the feeling it's weight when driving is a sad reality of twin turbos and inter-coolers...all just for 0.2 seconds faster than the Speciale seems a bit backwards to me, especially sacrificing that sound. Really appreciate your guys work on these insightful videos and most of all your brutal honesty about everything! Just watched Jay Leno's Garage video on the 1016 industries wide-bodied kit and learned something about the 488 Pista S-duct (cracking issue?)...crazy timing to see this video next.
Thank you for another great video to mark the start of the weekend. Enjoyable review - but the real question is how does it compare to the Aperta? You have us some hints,(as a Speciale owner) I would like to hear the “head to head”. Great spec that you have, amazing interior, I am quite jealous.
Scintillating, sexy, sooo fast and super exclusive, the 488 Pista Spider is at the top of the food chain. Our Damian has hit yet another home run with this car and video. Having just run a few hot, (tepid, actually,) laps in a 488 EVO, I can attest to the shock and awe factor this car has in spades. I still prefer an ‘80’s car, but I do respect how far technology has advanced things. Keep ‘em coming, Damian! We enjoy immensely.
Love the spec Damian looks bloody marvellous. So how many Ferrari's have you done so far? I hope there are still a lot more to come, loving this series. Cheers 🍻
I’ve said it before..but it’s so worth repeating..this is a beautiful spec..possibly the best along with that baby blue spec that bloke in Exotic Car hacks had on his
Damien, your frustration with the stop start is shared by many many people who cannot afford a Ferrari as well. I cannot tell you how many times I have been caught off guard pulling across traffic and suddenly realizing the Audi has engine is not running. In a car with a quiet engine, the only way I can tell if it is running is the rev counter, and that is the last thing I am looking at when trying to get through Toronto traffic. Also have to turn it off everytime. Irritating. Love the Pista though.
Excellent ,very thorough video. I think u sold me on the speciale, thank you. The italia will do for now. The pista is such a nice looking car tho I was tempted many times to move into forced induction
I can't understand why Ferrari would insert that blade of plastic across the dash and not make it a carbon option, which would no doubt add an extra grand into the Ferrari coffers, great video as usual!
Love the spec. I remember watching you go thru the process and thinking it wouldn't be my choice. But now it's really grown on me. The gold wheels are gorgeous and the chocolato interior pure genius. But £10k fur the shields! Did they resurrect Caravaggio fur the paint job?? Rocking that understated PP.
It should definitely NOT feel heavy in the steering. It should feel super light and easy, more so than a 488 and 458. If it feels heavy, then it more than likely has way too much toe out. I did a lot of testing with mine, and when we tested it with 30 minutes out on each side i.e. ½ degree out per side it made an old Porsche feel light by comparison. Let me share these numbers with you. They are slightly off from factory, but they are better and very similar to what Ferrari also uses for Corsa Pilota cars. With this setup, I can run 1.18 times cont. n Paul Ricard. * = degreees. ' = minutes. All numbers are per side. Front camber: -1*44' Front toe: -7' Front caster: Leave as is. It will more than likely be fine. Rear camber: -1*52' Rear toe: +14' These numbers are perfectly fine for the street and will retain very good tyre wear characteristics. The car will also work great on tracks such as Brands Hatch and Silverstone for a track day. Just make sure you keep an eye on the tyre temps. Run them hot in the 2.2 bar squared range. If you see them go above 2.4, get in and adjust. As soon as they get too high, temps spike and the pressure goes off the charts, and then grip is gone. You can also use this for normal road driving. Rather than trying to make it work with whatever Ferrari says in the manual, just go and drive the car like you normally would for about 30 minutes. Set fronts to 2.2 bars and rears for 2.1 hot. I assume that you run on MPSC2's. Reality is that many Ferraris come off the factory with abysmal alignment. Way off from factory spec. My regular 488 was all over the place for example. Had over 1.5 degrees of camber difference in the rear from side to side, and that to the opposite direction of the crown in the road. My Pista coupe had toe in on one rear wheel and toe out on the other. Just a disaster. Now I always take a new car directly to an alignment on day one, and I've yet to get one that was right, even my 812 Comp was off. EDIT!: Just realized that I had written -1 degree and 42 minutes for rear camber. That should have been -1 degree 52 minutes.
I do agree with you that the spec of your car is fantastic! That being said the overall exterior design of the 488/F8, whether standard or Pista or Spider, just does not work for me at all. Far too busy, especially when contrasted with the 458.. The Speciale is where it's at for me when it comes to modern v8s. Definitely looking forward to THAT video! Hopefully standard Speciale rather than Aperta
Enjoyed that, lovely spec although I'm not a carbon fan so may have looked at what was standard. Agree re the noise, not as good as what some others produce. The state of the inside of those exhaust pipes mister, have you not heard of Autosol? 😄
Thanks for sharing this interesting real-world perspective. TBH I hated the spec. when you first revealed it online, but after seeing the car in person at Donington, I think you absolutely nailed it! I think the car is a reasonable investment proposition, but will never deliver the same all encompassing experience your NA 458 Speciale Aperta undoubtedly does... or FTR your Boxster Spyder (if only considering your convertibles). Personally, would sell and invest in something quite different to your current collection that really gets the adrenaline and dopamine flowing... YOLO. Ford Gt 40? Ariel Nomad? BAC Mono?
Well done with the spec. Great looking car and an interesting review but I do have a problem with the video. It made me jealous! 😂 Whilst I am unlikely to ever own a Pista at least I have managed to get a ride in one. Thanks to Ray of the mighty CSC👍
Sensational car, spec is wonderful, love to know which is the more exciting car between your 675 LT McLaren OR THIS ?? Come on own up ? Great content 👍
Stunning spec , just need a straight pipe to be perfect! Before I preferred the Speciale, but after I drove a friend's 488 Pista with a straight pipe, I fell in love with the car, driving at the limit with everything OFF, it's one of the most fun cars ever made! And about the maximum speed, several tests with gps have already proven that it exceeds 217mp/h easy! And the sound of the turbos with that exhaust is amazing!! Regarding the car's steering and brakes, yours must have something wrong, because there's nothing on the market that comes close to the feel of driving at 488 Pista, the steering precision, the brakes' sharpness, and I work with sports cars at almost 15 years, already driving almost everything you can imagine! Or are you just not used to more direct cars, because I feel like driving a 488 Challenge when I drive a 488 Pista! Regarding the sound, as I said before, you need a straight pipe! And the sound is muffled by Euro 5 laws and not the Turbos fault!
One more thing in favour of the Pista vs Speciale….you can use it more. I find the Speciale is so loud inside that after a while it gets a bit wearing whereas the Pista doesnt. But otherwise I agree, Pista feels a serious piece of kit, Speciale feels more playful.
At 22:25 you see that white grease on your side window which most Porsches have and also my 458 Spider. I can't find a solution to it. Did you solve that problem and got rid of it?
Love the spec and love the channel! Serious question Damian: I have a Patek Philippe 5270R with the bracelet and black face. What's your opinion on trading it in for the new platinum version with a green face?
I love seeing this car! Regarding the stop/start - With all the after market tuning firms we have here, why cant one of them (just one of them) create a permanent Stop/start switch. Whenever this is triggered in my daily driver I'm instantly transported to a very younger me in a stalling car with poorly tuned Carbs. All this does is give petrolheads heart attacks at T Junctions and roundabouts.

You should get more recognition for your spec on this model - it’s to die for. Instant classic!
The Ferrai Pista is the nicest design. It is beautiful.
Aggressively beautiful. I couldn't have said it better Damian. Another fantastic video.

It's a beautiful car Damian, but as a non-turbo fan, the 458 Speciale will always be my favourite. 😍 Totally agree about the stupid stop / start: this has NO PLACE in any high performance car. Great vid once again, my friend! 👍🏻
Can you bypass the switch!?
@@michaelkempton937 I was wondering that too? Maybe a fuse removal is needed... 😉
I owned a new 458 back in 2013,luved that car,I now own a pista,the power delivery is so much better than a 458.

I was lucky to daily one here in LA for approx a year in 2010 ( sold it for a 458 ) but it’s still one of the all time best drivers cars I’ve owned .
Love to get your in depth review ( the sound is unbelievable along with the brutal single clutch shift at speed )
Great video. Love the drive every Ferrari series. Would be pretty cool to have a running ranking of where you'd put each ferrari in the series.
I’m considering that
The more I see this car the more beautiful it is. I would love to see it in person to see if it's as gobsmaking as on film. What a car! Great vid !
I had a good look at the interior spec when you were parked up at the FoS last year and it's a masterpiece. Good work sir!
👍🏻👍🏻
I love that color combination of that car.. The gold brings that grey out!! Pinaferreri Designs are timeless.
Another great video Damian.
And I admire your honesty in regards to the Pista Spider’s flaws.
Great video and a stunning chocolate-centred car, Damian. Always a pleasure to see (and hear) it on your channel. Enjoyed watching this video whilst waiting for the TSS race to start at the Singapore F1! Wearing my Beans T-shirt too, obviously! Cheers!

Beautiful spec Damien, you are a man of impeccable taste! I do like that launch spec with white and blue strip very much too🙂
So love that Ferrari! Great upload as per the norm!

Simply gorgeous car! Beautiful, elegant, sporty WOW
Bravo. I love that I had to look up what "Fnaar, Fnaar" means, used in a couple of episodes at this point. Here's to 90k subs by next week, gents.
👍🏻👍🏻
Damian that's my favorite in your collection u speced it perfect chocolata & grigio EXCELLENT COMBO👌🏽
beautiful color choices! This should have been uploaded in 4k to better appreciate the beauty 😼
This is one of the best specs ever. Well done Damian!
Amazing spec, Damian. Bravo 🎉 👏
Great video thank you. Do you prefer driving this over the 675LT?
I’ve said it before..but it’s so worth repeating..this is a beautiful spec..possibly the best along with that baby blue spec that bloke in Exotic Car hacks had on his
What an absolute peach ... interior is proper lush ... 👍👍👍
Damien, your frustration with the stop start is shared by many many people who cannot afford a Ferrari as well. I cannot tell you how many times I have been caught off guard pulling across traffic and suddenly realizing the Audi has engine is not running. In a car with a quiet engine, the only way I can tell if it is running is the rev counter, and that is the last thing I am looking at when trying to get through Toronto traffic. Also have to turn it off everytime. Irritating. Love the Pista though.
Great video, surprised you have not put a cherished plate on this one yet!
Good point
Honest review thanks.Hope you can conjour up a 16M for some extra raw fizz in the sound department etc
Excellent ,very thorough video. I think u sold me on the speciale, thank you. The italia will do for now. The pista is such a nice looking car tho I was tempted many times to move into forced induction
I would always go Speciale over Pista
What a lovely car. Inspired bit of spec'ing. I can see why you're pleased.
I can't understand why Ferrari would insert that blade of plastic across the dash and not make it a carbon option, which would no doubt add an extra grand into the Ferrari coffers, great video as usual!
Love the spec. I remember watching you go thru the process and thinking it wouldn't be my choice. But now it's really grown on me. The gold wheels are gorgeous and the chocolato interior pure genius. But £10k fur the shields! Did they resurrect Caravaggio fur the paint job??
Rocking that understated PP.
Amazing spec on the pista.....interior is stunning 😍
I think your Pista is beautiful with its color combination, so I found a picture of your car that I have as my desktop background on my computer.
That's actually hilarious about the color spec. Its a stunning color Combination.
Love that car Damien, well done sir 🏆

It’s my one of my favourite supercars.I have a blue pista piloti.
Nice!
Love the spec D, I would only change two little things, agree/disagree?, 1. Yellow centre caps, 2. Stripe on the windscreen surround, 😄.
Love the spec and love the channel!
Serious question Damian: I have a Patek Philippe 5270R with the bracelet and black face. What's your opinion on trading it in for the new platinum version with a green face?
You did surpass yourself on the spec, it is absolutely stunning, second only to your 458 speciale aperta for me,
Cannot wait for your best, frank and upright examination of a 288 GTO, !! :-)
Neither can I
I love seeing this car! Regarding the stop/start - With all the after market tuning firms we have here, why cant one of them (just one of them) create a permanent Stop/start switch.

All this does is give petrolheads heart attacks at T Junctions and roundabouts.
your outfit matches the car beautifully
