Fifth Gear – Ferrari 458 Spider Full Test Review (S20E04)

Vicki drives stunning 458 Spider
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Right before the start of the race weekend of the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, Fernando Alonso wanted to try the new 458 Spider, which will be presented at the IAA Frankfurt next Tuesday. The Scuderia Ferrari driver enjoyed the potential of the 8-cylinder mid-rear engine from the Prancing Horse – with hard top and fitted with the same most advanced technological content as the multi-awarded 458 Italia and now available in an “en plein air” version – on the roads around Maranello. Alonso was extremely satisfied with the perfect combination of high performance, exceptional handling and the engine sound the 458 Spider is able to deliver.

  6. sbryant7 - December 7th, 2011 at 12:32 am

    I prefer the 430 spider over this but hardtops 458 all the way.

    My ears got fucking orgasm!

    since the coupe is very close to the spider version, and costs 25 grand less, i don’t see why poor people like me should buy a spider… if you have LOTS of money, go ahead..

  9. MultiTopgearfan - December 7th, 2011 at 1:40 am

    looks like another member of the Fifth Gear team has fallen in love with the 458… job done for Ferrari…

  10. MultiTopgearfan - December 7th, 2011 at 1:52 am

    want one so badly…

    i hate when a guy actually saying that women can’t do a review about “manly” things like cars or motorcycles. of course i’m a man but i’m fully in respect with women, i mean, if they really wanna do a review, they must be at a certain level with guys.

    I bet some of these trolls can’t even drift their Mustang and now they started to mock a lady in a Ferrari ? Now say, would you prefer the guy in Autocar.co.uk or this woman in FifthGear ?

    Wow Nice Presentation …. expressions are original … nice presentation appreciating you

  13. unclepic1 - December 7th, 2011 at 2:37 am

  14. 1Darkxx - December 7th, 2011 at 3:21 am

  15. RicardoSS85 - December 7th, 2011 at 4:10 am

    3:47 – 4:03! If there was any doubt this woman is a proper petrol head, there it is!

  16. MotherFuckerJ0nez - December 7th, 2011 at 4:40 am

  17. king601 - December 7th, 2011 at 5:20 am

  18. keevre - December 7th, 2011 at 5:53 am

    @MrSergiopog AWD. lol

  19. Pavog5gt - December 7th, 2011 at 5:54 am

    By the time the video was about to end, I realized myself I had one of the biggest, most foolish and rewarding smiles in my life, wish I could drive that beast.

    Theres no car brand in the world that generates more passion in people than Ferrari.

  21. chrispdogg - December 7th, 2011 at 7:49 am

    THE FERRARI 458 SPIDER IS THE PINNACLE OF MAN’S EXISTENCE ;)

  22. Antom1234 - December 7th, 2011 at 7:51 am

    Lmaoo at this point when all these automakers are putting out phenomenally quick and handling cars…who gives a fuck about how much quicker car x is than car y. They are all pretty damn fast. They all wield MUCH more speed than any of us could fully utilize anyway. GTR’s 458s are all just apples vs oranges.

  23. umadbrow - December 7th, 2011 at 8:09 am

    @Tinashindi

    Yeah youre right, when their favorite supercar gets beaten so hard they turn to other excuses like soul and shit

  24. Tinashindi - December 7th, 2011 at 8:10 am

    @umadbrow no doubt the 458 is a great car but there are too many badge snobs out there.in dynamic terms the GTR is superior but supposedly has no “soul” lol.this abstract soul is the default reason why a ferrari will never lose a group test.the funny thing is soul talk never existed back in the days when Ferrari were unchallenged dynamically.

  25. Tinashindi - December 7th, 2011 at 8:27 am

    @PrickityPrick soul talk is nonsense

  26. EDDKREW - December 7th, 2011 at 9:19 am

  27. lascaossos - December 7th, 2011 at 10:11 am

    for f1 drivers like alonso the 458 is a transport, he’s so acostumated to f1 that the experience of driving fast cars like the 458 is fun to him just not as godly for us mortals.

    this man has born in car seat

  29. ilikezappa - December 7th, 2011 at 11:03 am

    Alonso tried to blackmail Ron Dennis. He is evil

  30. socketoutlet - December 7th, 2011 at 11:06 am

    Alonso is fast as usual..till he saw a vettle redbull car,haha

  31. trevisfat - December 7th, 2011 at 11:54 am

    best car advert ive seen in a while

  32. KGNiquette01 - December 7th, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    I love this car, and I’ve always been partial to Ferrari. I believe Ferrari builds the absolute best cars on the roads. But IMO nothing is more beautiful than a 599 or 599xx…incredibly beautiful machines.

  33. jpzhouutube - December 7th, 2011 at 1:04 pm

    great car indeed, but how many of us actually can afford a car like this? get a Ferrari kit, that is way to go:

  41. Raybanmonster - December 7th, 2011 at 5:40 pm

    Perfect Supercar. Just Perfect. but no not in yellow. Its either gloss black, white silver (pref esp when it matches the wheels), or gunmetal grey.

  50. ralph4eva - December 7th, 2011 at 9:06 pm

    compared to his F1 car it must’ve been slow as hell, that explains why he looks so bored and non-enthusiastic
