Why would Ferrari’s test drivers waste their time trundling around the streets of Maranello in the non-road-legal 458 Challenge, the racer-boy version of the 458 Italia? Because it hadn’t yet passed the the crucial test of hypercar performance found at 3:17 in this video. Next up, the “asshole test.”

I thought the squealing brakes were also pretty obnoxious. And I can't wait to put a wiggly row of white LEDs inside my headlights. Schweet!
Interesting. Autocar got taken out in a new prototype Mclaren supercar and made the comment that they liked the sound of the Mclaren because after a year of driving, it would not start to annoy you by being overly intrusive, unlike the new ferrari they said....
I thought the all important test for us was seeing the parked PT Cruiser in Maranello.
aHahaha, American V8s seem so LAME......
