While it's difficult to do anything but praise a Ferrari supercar, an endorsement of the brand from one of the most talented and experienced professional drivers in the automotive industry still impresses us here at Boardwalk Ferrari. In a recent interview with Jalopnik auto blog, Ben Collins, former Top Gear Stig and James Bond stunt driver, named the Ferrari 458 Italia as his favorite supercar.
Clearly, Collins is a man who has sat in the seat of the world's best and most powerful cars and is therefore an excellent judge of what makes a vehicle truly great. Of the 458 Italia, he says, "You could drift the car sideways and balance an egg on the throttle pedal because its just so responsive and forgiving. You feel everything but the car isnt too stiff, so it moves with you - you feel the front dive under braking and lean towards the corner."1
Collins isn't the only person or group who has been singing the praises of this incredible vehicle as of late. It has been granted over 30 international awards during its relatively short lifespan and very recently was awarded the International Engine of the Year Awards when its V8 was voted "Best Performance Engine" as well as "Best Engine Above 4 Litres".
We'll leave the professional driving to Collins, who points out that many other cars feel numb in comparison to the 458 Italia, but we have a selection of Ferrari vehicles here at our Plano, TX showroom that are just waiting to impress you. Stop by today.
