Ferrari 458 Italia - Chris Harris

One of our favorite auto journalists from the UK, Chris Harris, recently e-mailed us and included two videos of his experience of test-driving the new Ferrari 458 Italia. How did he like it? Well, we’ll let him tell in the two videos posted after the jump.

    I think the the 458 italia is the best supercar since the enzo, the looks are otherworldly while the rpms that they get out of a v-8 are outstanding. The interior is also outstanding and set up like a supercars should be, almost reinventing the way a dashboard should be, having the driver totally focused on the road. It is just one more great automobile to come out of Marenello, and I am really looking forward to the new version of the enzo. I just don't know how they are going to out do the existing version.
  • It's a nice car, but again something with a limited market for those with long deserted roads to travel on and wide pocketbooks.

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't his idea/business. I heard that he was sacked from the job at Drivers Republic. To be honest sounds like he's short on cash, resorting to desperate measures. Surely if his content is good and informative, in this current age, people will share it. Think someone is struggling if their having to send it around them selves !!! :P
