I speak some italian, I understood almost everything, except one of the parts I really wanted to get. Can anybody translate what the difetti della 458 are?

 

I saw this review a while back but didn't post it as it is in Italian... I will watch it again and translate.
What part of which video is it that you wanted me to translate?

 

I think this is a repost. I saw this somewhere here before.

 

The part in which they talk about the negative bits of the 458

 

I know... but which one of the 2 video is it? so make it easier for me to find pls

 

Second video at 6:20

 

Ferrari: Pluses: it's perfect, explosive motor, formula one tranny, easy to drive at its limits...negatives: Are you joking? they go into what type of driver the car is good for and they say a racer....too bad the video ends but the first gent just gets out the words that he prefers the Ferrari...

I just skipped through the second video but best brakes, best lateral grip (and its easy to achieve it) and the highest top speed? WOW.

The 458 don't play lol......Car and Driver called it a racing car and these guys basically say the same thing.

 

Thank you very much!!

 

Maybe the wheels sports vs standard don't make a big different?

This one comes with standard.

 

It's not shown on the video but the 458 wins every competition against the other cars.....apart from circuit lap time where the Lambo wins :-( It depends obviously a lot on the tyres (i think the Lambo has cup tyres which are much more grippy), size of wheels and the type of circuit that worked better for the Lambo

 

I think it has to do a lot with the type of circuit. I was very shocked to see it didn´t win the circuit part in which I thought it would trash the others. And basically, if it brakes better, accelerates better, has a higher top speed, higher lateral acceleration, how could the lambo beat it?

It was a tighter circuit where traction out of corners is crucial. The Lambo's AWD helps it there, tires could be a big factor too.
