Hello everyone, I'm the lucky guy who drove the car for the test. In response to several inquiries: as the driver, it did NOT feel like the car had a governor or electronic speed limiter, nor was the car at redline, although it was very close. It felt to me like the car had reached the apex of its ability to push through the aerodynamic load at 212. Actually, if we round, it was 213. ;) BTW, Johnny Bohmer Proving grounds is the only facility I know of where we get to see regular, verified testing of supercars without a lot of nonsense and hype. This channel is one of the great treasures of YouTube.

I can't understand why this channel is underrated

[pauljr.harrington]

212mph, and finally on a 2.7 mile course.

[matzepizzaheld]

Really fast acceleration, it reached its top speed almost half way already

Amazing car. I absolutely love the Pista. And Ferrari is my favorite supercar brand. Well done, Ferrari!

[JeepZJdriver]

One of the best videos yet! Love the Pista

[duncanbleak]

This channel continues to outdo itself with fantasy cars both foreign and domestic.
Bravo!

[mayukhsharma]

What an amazing channel. Finally i can see all top cars topspeed which i have been searching for a long time. I even pressed the bell icon lol

[GMVKSA]

in the spec sheet at the start it says 'Front Engine' .. just to clarify to non-car ppl, its a mid-engine car.

[Michael_Michaels]

That looked like a speed limiter at 212 mph?...

[ystoiek]

200 mph in and around 30 seconds! Sure it's nice to drive a few laps around Speedvegas in a 488, but the nuerburgring is the only way one could really experience the exhilaration what this car has to offer!

[bkscottss]

Great video as place to find out what the true top speeds of these cars are....

[noahbirdrevolution]

That thing hits 120 while my car is still thinking about 60.

[standupp]

watch in full screen it's so satisfying

[taforth]

FYI - I can’t make out (on my phone) the car details and conditions that you provide near the beginning of the run - could you increase the text size maybe?

[patserrao]

Absolutely the speed limiter kicked in

[MarcSob]

212 on a American version, so a european model can make maybe 217 or even more in the same distance! Remembering that the European version is lighter and has less engine restrictions! Great content

[Troubleshooter]

BEAUTIFUL Pista! What I'd love to see now from the Prancing Horse would be the 812 Superfast! Whatcha think? Can do?

[baronhyatt]

Nice I'm not a Ferrari fan but that was nice and you can tell that the drag is slowing it down once you get to 212 it just stays there
