This Is Why You Should Buy a Ferrari 458 Right NOW! | STUDIO MOTORS

This week on Studio Motors, we review the Ferrari 458 and answer the question as to why the Ferrari 458 is going up in price. Let us know what you think in the comment!

The Ferrari 458 was a game changer when it was released. The 458, which replaced the Ferrari F430, took such huge leaps forward that it's still unreal comparing the F430 to the 458. The F430 replaced the Ferrari 360 which is where this story starts.

The Ferrari 360 was the very first all-aluminum space frame chassis vehicle Ferrari had ever made for the public. It was a strong partnership with American based Aluminum titan, Alcoa. The Ferrari 360 was larger than the Ferrari F355 it replaced, but was still 25% lighter, and 40% stronger than the steel chassis vehicles Ferrari used to make. The 360 was the beginning of all-aluminum space frame chassis for Ferrari.

The F430 took what the 360 accomplished and improved on it drastically in the power and performance department, while using the same Alcoa developed chassis from the Ferrari 360. Although the roofline, the windows, and the doors were directly from the 360, the Ferrari F430 looked significantly different. And the new design improved the aerodynamics and drag coefficient over the 360.

It's now 2010 and Ferrari blows the world away with the Ferrari 458 italia. The 458 was brand new from the ground up. Ferrari and Alcoa had experimented and figured out the all-aluminum chassis game and were ready to push that envelope as far as they could with the Ferrari 458 italia. The car was a HUGE departure from the 360 and the F430. The engine, the design, the sound, and that feel... so good it hurt! Watch the full episode to see the Ferrari 458 in all it's glory and our answer to why it's going up in price now.

My dream car!! I will work hard and buy this in the next 5 years.

I just bought my 4th 458 (1st 2 were coupes, 3rd was Spyder). Why would you keep going back to it you might ask? I keep thinking there's something better out there and I start to miss the 458. I'm hoping I keep this new one for the rest of my life but I've learned from experience to never say never 😊. IMHO the 458 will go down as one of the best cars to ever come out of Maranello.

Drove a 458 on a track back in 2013. What a car! It does everything really well plus I can fit in it (I’m 6’ 4”) very comfortably.

The only advantage of a 458 Italia (=Coupé) is that it has a slightyly stiffer chassis and that the engine can be seen both from the inside through a review window and from outside through a kind of "shopping window". Even if you buy for the Spider that Capristo hood with a window in it, it is not more than a bull's eye with almost no view on the engine because the engine is more forward, hidden under the hood of the retractable hardtop.

But the Spider doesn't wiggle and wobble, it is rigid enough to enjoy hard driving. And you get the sound unfiltered. In sunshine through the complete open roof, in cloudy weather through the rear window that can be rolled down. So you can get over the loss of the view on the engine. That's why I bought a 458 Spider and not an Italia.

The 458 has always been my favorite. I love the passion you have for it! Cant wait to have my own

[HanhNguyen-rpxj]

It took me 6 months to find mine. 2015 tdf blue spider with 6000 miles. Got it in 2020. Now, it has 13, 000. Debated a long time between 458 and 488. I think I made the right choice.

[twlsted]

F*cking dope 458 Ferrari. I'm impressed how you get these beautiful cars. Studio Motors is the real deal.

[robsonrissotrainer]

I'm glad I have a 458 spider, will keep it forever

[turnnburn]

love it, that's why I got one a year ago, can't stop driving it! It is all a supercar is supposed to be.

[ray]

Well said. You really nailed it. I've been saying all this about the 458 Italia vs. the 488, etc. for almost two years now and everyone used to think I was crazy...

[packapr]

You seem like you’ve been doing this for years just talking to people on YouTube. Amazing quality and props to the camera man they killed it!!

[BENNETTTAKESALL]

The price of these has gone through the roof in the last year, I think it has to do with the engine being naturally aspirated.

[christopheranderson]

I purchased one a year ago for the reasons stated, plus it has risen $25k in value. Win win!! However is really too fast for the road - is really more at home on a track.

[robinstreets]

Drove one on a track day I got as a gift, absolutely awesome!

[CarPassionChannel]
