Ferrari 458: the movie
Look at the Ferrari 458 Italia gallery
This is what we've been waiting for, two Ferrari 458 Italias battling it out in all their visual and aural glory.
It's the official Ferrari film of the 458, but you'll be pleased to discover that it's sans cheese, and high on coolness. A pleasant surprise from the Prancing Horse, usually the first ones to do something a little cringey.
Our Twitter feed has been high on excitable chat from you about this new Ferrari, and this movie only serves to raise the fever.
Filmed at the Mugello circuit and up in the Tuscan hills, the red and yellow 458s go toe-to-toe in a friendly challenge rather than an all-out fight, but it feels very cool and very Italian.
Seeing the cars move and hearing the 4.5-litre direct injection V8, using all of its 562bhp, is where it's at.
Check out our Frankfurt metal gallery for a real life static image of the 458 on Ferrari's stand, or just sit back and lose yourself in the video for three minutes.
You'll want to turn the volume up to 11...

Ow so they just put the official video on the web. And I was hoping that they will use it to film the last episode from the new upcoming series. Top Gear crew has been spotted trough Romania driving in a Ferrari a Lambo and also an Aston trough the "transfagarasan road". I was hoping they were driving 458 italia Lp560-2. On 22th september they will film a race between 3 supercars in some secret passages under the building of the Parliament in Bucharest. Ill try to make some photos.

I've got it on as background noise. I don't often like the looks of Ferraris and I'm not completely convinced by the looks of this one, but my god, the noise is epic.

Nice vid. Filmed at Mugello Circuit in Italy - owned by Ferrari, in the same way that Suzuka is owned by Honda - the excessive overtaking was for cinematic effect, and for some reason, about 1:55 in, the security camera was blinking o_0. Great cars though, but I'm a little undecided on the "face". I'm not sure it was a smart move to raise the edges of the bonnet.

Looks evil. I guess ferrari has really segregated hard core racers from those towards the slightly more luxurious kind. California for me.

The front end looks like a gorgeous -Japanese- car. But Italian? I don't see much soul in there. Dissapointed yet again. Guess I'll wait a few years for the next one and keep my fingers crossed. Last good-looker was the 360.

The panel gap between the boot and bumper is too noticeable.
