    458 Speciale drive

    So during september of this year I went to Italy for the Italian gp.

    Which was epic the turbo cars sound crazy in real life and compared to the old v8s they don't deafen you or just make a crazy loud noise.

    So after the gp I went to maranello where we saw two La Ferraris and got to drive the 458.

    This was such an amazing looking car. The brakes where just immense and the sound of the v8 all the way to 8.5k revs like a bawws.

    Got to take it down some back and hit the top end of 4th and a bit into 5th which is quite the speed in one of them. Ive driven a 355, a 599 gtb and a 360. But the 458 was just different level of fast my brain couldn't keep up with the rapidness of it all.

    And once the tyres got some heat into them they just worked so well the steering was perfect.

    And the controls on the wheel where easy to get used to. The car had fckk all mileage on it and had nice options too.

    Loved every min of it and have a cool vid of the drive sad I know but its cool to re watch for 30 mins it was well worth it and epic.

    I'll try and upload some pics later of the car.

    Also while in Italy we went on a tour of the Pagani factory tour which was one of the best experiences of my life crazy engineering and design details too.

    Also we did the Ducati factory which was brilliant wouldn't be too into bikes but the superbikes and moto gp bikes were great to see and the tour guides were very nice too.

    Yeh I reccomend it to anyone I did 30 mins for all the Ferraris I drove it's well worth it esp when you can get up to decent speed I was hitting 140mph in a 50 mph zone lol

    The La Ferrari was flying round the Ferrari test track the noise off it was insane.

    This was the Speciale I drove so 150kg lighter and more power than standard was crazy and the brakes were dangerous till they heated up lol
