This is the real Chris Harris that I remember, it doesn't feel like a TG video. Fantastic car.
Feels like a proper CHoC vid.
Nothing feels like a TG video anymore. And that's not something bad at all. CH is brilliant!
Henrik Johannessen thats good And bad the same time imo
He is great but old tg was Also unique
Why cant we have both :(
Agreed. This is what Chris was made to do. 'Rant on and on about technical details nobody cares about'. I need more of that stuff. I really do. I still watch old F40/F50, RS6/CLS, Huayra & co videos from time to time. I'm really happy Chris got into a place where he can show himself off to the world (Top Gear proper) then, between seasons, bugger off and do the proper stuff for the hardcore fans, and, judging from his videos, for himself.
Never stop doing that Chris, never stop.
@@Primoz.r You took the words.from my keypad!
Who else thinks Chris narrates to himself during his GT3 races?
Lol I would love to see and hear that commentary. Loved it when he raced the GT3 Bentley
When i was doing motorcross id sing in my head lol
Loot Box I'd probably do the same thing, honestly. Anyone else narrate themselves when they play video games?
Some times
probably yeah :)
Motortrend- "you would have to be suicidal to turn traction control off in this thing"
Chris Harris- "traction control off as usual for the pure experience"
That is why hes one of the best
Haven't watched Motor Trend vid after they left youtube, but CHOC is the best for sure
😂😂😂Summes up everything about Chris perfectly
And then he usually drifts the tires into clouds, but this time he kept it down.
jethro is a hero, jonny is a jester. jason is somewhere inbetween. don't care, chris harris videos still give me nostalgia and authenticity seldom found anywhere else for me.
Yeah. None of us are Chris Harris.
we need more Chris Harris on RUclips, he's the best in my book.
Far and away the best.
Absofuckinglutely
No nonsense... just facts. I love it.
Yup...get rid of everyone else...Chris hands down
i completely agree with him. driving such an amazingly fast car on the street instead of a track is like keeping a tiger in a cage so small it cant even stand upright: its simply a waste of potential, even if it still will look amazing.
A Chris Harris video where he can speak and react freely (without tv show scripts) is as good as car reviews get.
SO glad Chris Harris still does his proper reviews. Well done, Chris
Just a note about the tyres, while the Cup 2 isn't the stickiest dry weather tyre in the Michelin range now (the recently released Cup 2 R is ONLY OE on the 911 GT2 at the moment), it IS still a very sticky track tyre, and knowing how Ferrari like to tune their tyres, I would put money on the fact the Ferrari OE version of the Cup 2 used on this car is more like the Cup 2 R than the aftermarket Cup 2 we can buy. It will be crazy sticky.
I think the most interesting thing is that they haven't chosen the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R. But that might be only interesting to me.
Now, Ferrari, please lend me one for a test :D
Tyre Reviews will you test it with different sets of tyres?
@Farina Marcina Some of the recent ones have been quite good. But they sure did have a lot of bad ones through the years.
@@gwcrispi it's called English, for a reason.
Well the 488 Pista tire IS officially a Cup 2 R tire, they clearly state that, still not as extremely track focused as Trofeo R though. The reason they haven't done that is probably because Ferrari generally doesn't make cars that chase lap times, even though most often than not they end up with cars that beat the competition in that regard too, and 488 Pista is certainly that car. Beats the 911 GT2 RS, Huracan Performante and 720S (on Trofeo R) with ease.
@@derbigpr500 Interesting! The Cup 2 R was developed as a direct rival to the Trofeo R and while I've not done the test yet (planned for this year) I expect the Michelin to be as fast in the dry :)
Cancel the silly TV show, Chris Harris Drives is all I need cartainment wise.
no proper salary on youtube.
Peek top gear? Do you live under a rock?! 😂😂
New era Top Gear should Model itself after CHoC.
Make it like pre 2002 top gear and ditch the silly challenges (not that I hate them, but it doesn't feel the same now)
It's time for the Chris Harris Show.. we had Terry Wogan.. give us Chris.. with Henry, Graham Sutcliffe, Richard Meaden... forget the rest...
this car is amazing, had the chance to supertest it for MotorsportMag in Magny-Cours, with an astonishing laptime in the end
You drove it rather well.
Wanna trade jobs?
You mean the press car ferrari special... with a super remap that customers don't see 😂
Hopefully it's much better than the standard 488 which got wrecked on the Nordshcleife by a Camaro ZL1.
@TeacherToolkitDemo Triggered Porsche or McLaren fanboy? You got roasted by a superior car.
You dont even need to tell us what car. You just need to write 'Another Chris Harris video'.
Chris had some very interesting thoughts about the modern supercar industry in this video, food for thought indeed Mr Harris 🤔
Even a 911 gts is too fast. I watched the pov night drive 911t (370hp) video from autotopNL, he gave it some throttle, and he went from 70kmh to 130 within 2 seconds or so. Thats way too fast for public roads, and it probably wasnt even full throttle
@@maurizioarrivabene8182 I do believe that the car community at large has become desensitized to speed and power to some extent.
Great review as always. I think Mr Harris's point about speculators/flippers is rather pertinent... it should be against the law, in Italy at least, to just store a car of this nature and not to drive it as intended.
@@@error404blah Can't agree more, whether it's super saloons, sports cars or supercars... the latter of which blur the boundary to hypercar performance. Unfortunately, the advance of electric cars and further "driver" aids will only further desensitise the sense and thrill of speed.
@@error404blah i partly agree. The guys that scream for more power probably have never driven anything more than a 150hp car from their parents, or dont even have a license. I have never driven anything more than 275nm of torque. And thats plenty...figures of 700nm are just crazy
This is one magnificent Ferrari, that burble is immense, and the passion, a true car lover
I got a Ferrari 488 GTB Edition Thrustmaster T80 wheel.
Krazy Gamer i don‘t even have that🤷🏼♂️
It's not a great wheel but I think it's decent.
What do you mean?
Sure. I'll do that.
Hahaha thanks for the laugh :)
More of this please Top Gear.
I wonder what made them think that 720 is the perfect horsepower number for this 🤔 , Hmmmm....
Ishkaran Brar it's actually 711...
@@russellcoight1718 720 metric horsepower = 710 imperial horsepower (let's call it 711)
Surely it can't be because of the McLaren 720S, that would just be crazy
Ishkaran Brar copy the 720s
@@TheAllAroundMan That's what it appears to be
@2:42 this Ferrari is making Chris do the "italian hand" thing 😂😂😂
Magic. A car with a soul. Chris you nailed again. I've watched you from the days of Autocar in fact since your very first video review. Followed you through EVO Magazine etc When you review a car you do it so well you draw people in. You bring the love of cars out of people. Cars are an extension of my life. They raise the hair on the back of my neck. When I watch a video of this quality I just want to get in my car and drive. I know when I am driving because I have a smile on my face.
Looks so much better then the 720s, from a McLaren fan.
That's subjective . 720s looks better to me and the interior is just better , it just is
No no though the 720s may be fast on a straight line but Ferrari always wins on the looks department. 720 look alien like from front
A Memphis red 720s is one of the best looking cars on the market imo
So that being said there two different for some people to choose both (Im a McLaren fan And the 720s looks to good for me)
OK ferrari guy in disguise
The new ferrari 488 pista is such a sexy car
said all of the arabs and slavs in unison.........
The lap times this thing pulls are chaos. It’s destroying all its competitors
@Farina Marcina what does that make you, a 12 year old who can't except that people like other stuff, Lambo and Ferrari use to be behind in terms of performance, now both are finally catching up, how about you be happy about it and stop putting your fanboyish attitude in the way. There all great cars.
Farina Marcina I’m English and adore Ferrari
and in which comparisons did you actually see this? Here is one, where this is clearly not the case: www.roadandtrack.com/pcoty-2019/
Here is another one, where the Pista is again slower (than a 991 GT3RS this time) and the editors actually conclude, that the name Pista is misleading, since the car is not really a hardcore track biest: ruclips.net/video/CG7Cmv46avA/видео.html
So, Mr. Trump, check your facts!
LOOK NO BRAKES It depends on the track. If the Pista can use it‘s power is the main question. I saw a test lately (can‘t remember exactly which one, sorry. Some car of the year thing..) on a tighter circut, temperatures around 18degree celcius and the pista got smashed by a 991.2 GT3 RS. The GT3 could use all it‘s power while the Pista was drifting around... Like Chris said in the video: 50% throttle is enough to light it‘s rear tires. Must be a beast around Silverstone or Spa though.
@Can do Life The ferrari "press" car special
Perfect review! I love how he finds the perfect context for this car and does not talk from a VW Passat drivers perspective and says generic phrases like „it sticks to the road like glue“
This car is so advanced it almost removes the raw skill the driver needs normally to handle a platform with these figures, however Ferrari have excelled themselves and thrown everything they have learnt into this area it's utterly breathtakingly fast. I love it.
What makes Chris Harris amazing is that he makes me feel as if I’m with him on the passenger seat like genuinely makes me feel as if I drove the car the man is amazing on how he explains every bump he feels while driving I honestly can’t explain it but I’m sure everyone who watches his content can relate
Can't treat these cars as an "inanimate object". Note to Ferrari and Porsche on this. Most GT owners and track edition owners I know never track or even drive them hard. Bravo to McLaren and Lambo in making their Perfomante or LT (thinking 600LT) cars somewhat obtainable without owning many other of the brand or paying crazy amounts over sticker.
Look at this machine. It knows three things. Loudness, badassery, and face-shattering SPEED.
This video reminds me of the reviews that Chris and Neil used to do before Top Gear....awesome
Chris Harris drives needs to be the main video of this channel. Come on he is the best
Loving your work
Are you guys getting the Pista?
Yes, looking forward to it
Red is fast. 😁
Red is fast, white is class, and black is bad ass!
I wanna see Chris Harris reviewing four cyl fwd cars from the nineties and 00s. I just think him weighing in on the Celica GT-S vs. Integra GS-R vs. SRT-4 vs. Eclipse GS-T vs. Focus SVT would probably be the best thing on youtube.
I love the video! Thank you to Top Gear for allowing this video to happen. However, car review videos are so much better in 50-60fps. These vehicles move so quickly that it looks so choppy in 30fps. Please start filming in 50-60fps.
Minimum 60 fps plus 4k
Reason I hate turbo cars are because they Rev to very low RPM. But then comes Ferrari and shows me I know nothing having a turbo engine go up to 8k. Show me the 9k, and I am sold.
Then buy a 458 and turbo charge it
Turbos don't have to rev. High they have a turbo to make up for that
@@allensaunders449 but I love the sound of high Rev cars.
@@demonwares IKR!!!!!!!! the bugatti EB110 did a 3.5L V12 going to like 8,500 RPM with 4 turbos on it.............and it sounds mental...........
meanwhile the 488 speciale/720s/gt2 RS mostly sound like wet dog farts or nothing at all.........
Chris and Matt were the only reasons I still watch Top Gear. Will keep watching as long as Chris is presenting.
Just choked when I saw this video appear in my recommandations
chris harris just made my day!
This is pushing half a million pounds now! I remember the 360 CS was only about 130k the worlds gone mad!
You got a Ferrari FF yet chris? Love that car!!!
James Sheehy Chris had the FF ages ago check his review
I think he has a 599 GTB
@@petroa.9134 also sold that by now, he does own a 512tr
Mad indeed James, considering how incredible the 360CS was and still is, it’s the most fun I’ve had in a car and I was only the passenger, the CS sounds like no other Supercar and the sense of occasion due to the stripped out interior, shear grip of the thing and the big stripe down the middle makes you think you are Ayrton Senna, it is wonderful and the first Ferrari I would have bar none!
What’s everyone’s favourite ferrari?
I’m torn between F50 and Enzo personally! But love 360 cs and 575m so much 90’s baby haha
This is the closest it gets to the old "Chris Harris on Cars" videos which were so fresh and ingenious. I enjoy watching these new Chris Harris videos.
please keep chris & neil videos alive... true perfection
Please, of these reviews Chris. This was your vintage goodness, and the reason we all came to love watching you in the first place! Bravo! And well shot by Neil!
5:41 : That rear end is something else! Top video!
The best automotive journalist. Full stop. Thanks Chris!
*turns traction control off*
“Let’s see what happens”
Yeah, I wonder what’ll happen when Chris Harris turns traction control off on a 700+ hp Ferrari lol
Finally did it with the sf 90 ! 1000hp yes
This is a great day, Ferrari-488-pista and Chris Harris. Happiness ensues
Fun vid Chris! Question: How come you talk trash about Ferrari's Special Series cars and you gush like a skank when Mclaren and Porsche do it? Who cares how much they cost? You're not the one paying! Best to focus on how they perform relative to each other. Period. Thank God you decided to share the genius engineering and capability of this car. C'mon man, this car is THE current ROCK STAR! Not the 2RS nor the 600LT can come near it ;-)
Oh my God! I thought Christmas is over! Because of this video it's Christmas all over again! I love Chris Harris!
Less normally aspirated but it still sounds pretty much like any other turbocharged car. Actually, I’ve heard 4 pots that sound as good, which is not good for a Ferrari. Just Not the same, turbocharging is also one of the reasons that that power car be used, 1/3 throttle and the tyres light up out of bends, the only way to make cars like this tractable is alter the boost curve which sort of defeats the point, or make them all 4WD.
The SOUND is better than a 488 but 458 still have the greatest sounding V8😔😔😔
458 Speciale has the greatest sound V8 from Ferrari.But there are V8s from other companies that sound just as good or better !
430 scuderia even better!
miklu26 360 with Full Capristo is the best. Better than the Scud. Trust me, I owned a 2008 Scud with full Capristo on it. 360CS still sounds better. But my Scud sure sounded better that Pista or Speciale for that matter.
@@timmietz yeah....360 cs has a challenge engine(maybe)😍😍
Which is not as good as the V10 in The Lamborghini Huracan Performante
So in love with these videos. Chris Harris does the top tier car video of this time.
everybody knows chris's face when driving porsche...his face tells everything :)
98% of viewers will never be able to own a car like this. However, Chris Harris makes it very entertaining to watch.
I love Chris! He's so brutally honest.
Chris Harris and Carfection are my favorites here in the US
Proper Chris Harris video. Amazing. None of the new fake TG feel trying to copy the Clarkson era.
The more power you add to these supercars the harder it becomes to make them good drivers cars without charging millions! Thats why a gt3 rs is so good! Its balanced! It has around 550 horsepower!! every thing is matched!! All big companies are just chasing numbers as i guess numbers sell but are they great drivers cars????? I dont think so! And in modern cars if you are doing 120mph it feels slow!! It only feels fast at high end! Older cars are way more fun! They are more alive! Modern cars feel dead or lack feeling!! They need to dial back a little and concentrate on balancing and matching the drivetrain and suspension perfectly!! In this vid Chris says the engine is great but not all of the car! Everything has to be perfect! The 458 speciale will still be better than this pista! Less power less everything but it all works in sync! Just my opinion!!😎
Im not really into super/hyper cars, im more of a jdm person. But this, this is amazing
Is it faster than a McLaren 720s or 675LT
In track it is quicker than both. In a straight line I think its quicker than a 675LT, but slower than a 720S.
Remember that the 720s is not the track focussed version... that'll be the 750LT or whatever it'll be called ;-)
Simply the best bar non...
"greater negative torque" is a knob in engine tuning/calibration that can be turned up or down according to taste. You can easily just program the engine computer to cut the fuel, close the muffler valves (think Corvette exhaust valves which change to a deeper exhaust), maximize electric regen, downshift aggressively.
Chris Harris driving a Ferrari is always a must watch!
TG finally realized that all they need to do is throw money at Chris, and let him do his thing. He knows what hes doing, and his fans want more of HIM. Loved this video, felt so much like the Chris Harris on Cars we all love and miss.
Great video. Like the good old days of Chris Harris on cars.
We all miss those days!!!
Pista > Performanté
Let me fix that for you:
Pista
@@eventusvantos2770 ruclips.net/video/N2Opne_k3Og/видео.html sorry, pista is better
Eventus Vantos nahh nahhhhh. Pista big bro. Pista. I like the Performanté, though. But, the pista got it the 🏆
Pista is probably faster but the Performante wins on every other aspect.Sound,interior,steering wheel feedback and it's not much slower than the Pista.Probably the tyres are the reason !
Ilias G1 chill!!!! 🤚🏾
A friend of mine had a 458, he said it was fun but every track day it would have a bundle of lights appear on the dash. ie an IPC. Pretty, though. He now owns a GT3, which is solid as a rock. My 2CV however... Now there’s a car...
I like the honesty of these reviews, great driving and commentary as always...Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way!
I'm a simple man, I see Chris Harris talking about cars and i upvote.
Simply the best car reviewer in the world. This is Chris Harris at his best. People forget that top gear changed early 21st century to a program that was very attractive to house moms. Sure I laught and had fun watching top gear and ofcourse respect the old trio, but Chris is different. When it comes to cars, Chris is a giant leap ahead of the rest. respect! I think most guys dream of making the same sideways moves he does one handed.
how does the GT2RS gets all of its power down with traction control off then? -> German engineering ;)
different tyre and rear engine. Don't bring "this nation builds better cars than this", because the Pista or GT2RS are masterpieces of themselves.
And either Porsche or Ferrari ever claimed that their cars are better or not, because the have the respect for each of their products and have different range of customers.
Baller Lifestyle it gets all of its power down? So you telling me a GT2RS can get 100% grip on any road surface with 100% throttle from the get go?
Also, there's a little thing called downforce that plays a big role as well. Ferrari has a self-imposed design limitation in that they've promised to never use external spoilers for extra downforce (they view it as an unnecessary crutch). Meanwhile, the GT2RS and GT3RS have park benches installed over the rear of the car. Same thing with the Corvette ZR1, Huracan Performante, Viper ACR, etc. The amount of traction (and downforce) that Ferrari has squeezed out of the Pista's otherwise tame exterior is nothing short of amazing.
A big wing a better wheels? Genius
Joel Schembri
They all do limit it, the 488 GTB and 488 Pista even limit it all the way until gear 7. That’s the only gear where it produces max torque.
Chris: "I'm not sure that in 2018 people want to see supercars coming out roundabout sideways on the public highway"
Me: Um yes we do, yes pls
*McLaren 720s has left the chat*
Yes its out on front of this car
Allen Saunders it’s actually slower than the Pista check the lap times
The corner at 12:04... masterpiece.
You know it’s serious when Chris sais ‘Ferrari’ with the hand gesture. 2:42
Look what one can do at home with a turbocharged car. Now imagine a team of well qualified race engineers and practically unlimited funds. Harris is right again. This review was amazing that car is amazing too.
Chris always on point! Tha Neil filming is also something spectacular!
Chris just sent everyone with an investor hat on into a tailspin. lol
Fantastic video, the pista has to be one of the best looking cars ever made 🤤
will pick ferrari over any lambo and mClaren, most people don’t understand that the words “it’s a ferrari” is actually pretty good argument. These macs and lambos have good specs on paper, thus they have lots of immature fanboys. There’s lot more about cars than just numbers
"It's a Ferrari" is what Ferrari marketing wants you to believe so their customers feel special. I don't know where you are getting your fanboy statistics from, but in my experience its Mercedes and GTR fanboys that are the immature ones. And, if you want to talk about real life stuff, it seems most Ferrari and some lamborghini owners are usually snobs who think they are better than everyone else and only drive their cars like once a week.
@@tubbehht9236 quit generalizing. There are immature fanboys for almost any car company. You generalizing makes you the immature one.
"Its a Ferrari" is the very definition of badge whoring which is down right pathetic to do.
Its not just about the specs on paper. Its about the emotion and experience they give you behind the wheel. For me personally the performante and its naturally aspirated v10 truelly wins me over a twin turbo v8 in the 720s or 488 which has lost the 458's sweet character defining soun.
@@eventusvantos2770 true, but seriously have you seen the comments on Mercedes and GTR videos lol.
ruclips.net/video/N2Opne_k3Og/видео.html hahahha
Dear BBC, this video is going to be better than the coming series of Top Gear, and at a fraction of the price.
First at last!
You need to do another Porsche Ferrari comparison with Tiff. You two work so well together. I'd love a gt2rs vs. 488 pista video
Really great article on the engines characteristics.... apart from the sound thing, which can mostly be addressed by aftermarket items, they really are better than an NA... in a road car specifically torque is everything.
Not enough drifting for an otherwise superb Chris Harris video!
This man is the Shakespeare of car reviews! Period. This man is a journalist and a driver.
Chris Harris is still unmatched as a car journalist
I work for Euro Garages as a purchase ledger clerk, the boss of Euro Garages Zubair Issa got this 488 as a demo car. God damn this car is 1 sexy ass machine
This is what a REAL “CAR REVIEW” should look like.
What episode of top gear is this from? I thought he said "in the earlier technical part of the video" at one point. I'll happily pay to watch the full thing.
Can anyone else hear the rocks this car is scooping up as Chris drives it on the roads?
Chris is far better than the other two cause he is the only one who knows his stuff about cars. That's why the other two take the piss out of him
Really like these Chris Harris videos! Great production and Chris is very easy to watch and listen to as a whole! always great content, knowledgable as ever, Just like it used to be in the CHoC days.
Another entertaining and well balanced review by Chris. I have to imagine that the rarity compared to the 360 CS, 430 Scud and 458 Speciale could be heightened since the decision to allocate is via HQ and not dealer. I don't think anyone can deny any of the performance metrics. I hear the Fiorano lap time differential versus the LaFerrari is 1.5s. However, this is based on winter conditions for the Pista. So, would be super interesting to see how the Pista possibly eats into that differential in a summer time test. I completely agree with Chris' comment that Ferrari could of seriously implemented an upgrade in the interior which looks quite dated...even the existing interior of the 812 Superfast or GTC4 Lusso would of been an improvement!
This is the first mid engined Ferrari since the 360 Modena that i actually love how it looks.
Chris, you talked about the GT3 Touring in the past tense. How come? Was something lacking?
I wish for Christmass the old topgear back ❤️
Love the tow hook at 5:31 lol
I love this TG videos, just a suggestion, can you add english subtitles for people with hearing problems in your videos?
My favorite Ferrari models: F12, 458, 488, F8 Tributo, and the F40. This 488 Pista is absolutely stunning.
What about Daytona and 512 Berlinetta Boxer?
@@Virtuoso23 they are both nice cars also, for sure a showstopper if they are seen on local roads near me.
I just love these Neil Carey edited videos. Please come back CHOC !
The design on the pista is mega!
Chris is subliminally reminding us how epic and well balanced the 458 Speciale really was. Tons more power doesn't make a car great. It just makes it faster.
The 458 is still my favorite as well as the f430. They sound just absolutely beautiful! My best friend has a 360 with a custom titanium exhaust and its the most orgasmic sound on warth, it may not be rhe fastest thing but with the 6 speed manual gated shifter its just a joy to drive. But if i was gonna spend 250k I would get a 720s or a GT350 and an RS5 with cash leftover lol
