The Ferrari 458 Speciale is claimed – by its maker – to be the most fun mid-engined V8 Ferrari ever. And that’s some claim if you look back through the firm’s catalogue. This latest incarnation of the 458, the most focussed yet, costs £208,000, makes 597bhp, revs to 9000rpm and weighs 90kg less than the standard car. It also has a new manettino setting that allows the driver to go sideways with the ESP still engaged. It is, by any stretch, a truly great supercar. But can it deliver on the promise of being more fun than an F40? Steve Sutcliffe finds out.

On this episode of Wide Open Throttle, the Motor Trend crew chats with the head of AMG, Tobias Moers. They talk about everything from the ludicrous G63 AMG 6×6 super truck to the 4 cylinder compact CLA45 AMG as well as AMG’s race spec Black Series line. We also prod him about the much-rumored 911-fighter from AMG.
