Watch Chris Harris drive the Ferrari 458 Spider like an idiot

Watch Chris Harris drive the Ferrari 458 Spider like an "idiot"Chris Harris gets to abuse his fair share of cars that we can only dream about driving, so why not add the Ferrari 458 Spider to that list. After somehow borrowing the keys to a Ferrari-owned 458 Spider, Harris spends about five minutes driving the 570-horsepower, open-air supercar like an "idiot" (his words, not ours).

In reality, its impressive to watch the $257,000 (base price) 458 Spider being drifted and pushed hard into every turn. Not surprisingly, the car handles the "bad behavior" very well, but what is amazing is how easy it is for Harris to talk to the camera despite the top being down and the engine being at full throttle almost the entire time.

This is a 250 horsepower Ferrari powered quad

we really should just shut up and let the absurdity of this contraption sink in for a spell, but the details of the Lazareth Wazuma V8F are just to insane to leave unmentioned. A 3.0-liter Ferrari V8 lies at the heart of the newest Lazareth Wazuma, and the 250-horsepower lump is bolted to a six-speed manual transmission sourced from a BMW M3.

A set of 12.8-inch Brembo brakes help bring the blur down from speed. All told, the V8F tips the scales at a relatively portly 1,433 pounds, which is still light enough to scare your underwear inside out given the power on tap.

If youre looking for the best way to kill yourself on four wheels, this is likely it, but dont expect the assisted suicide to come cheap. The Lazareth Wazuma V8F will set you back just under $261,000 at current conversion rates. What can we say? This kind of twisted engineering doesnt come for free.

Ferrari gave its approving, but since the new 599 GTB Fiorano was set to unveiling at the 2006 Gin Locomote Convey, they asked Zagato to slow their unveiling until Subverter dEste two months subsequent. The reaction to the 575 GTZ was so certain that Zagato put it into creation, albeit in extremely soft drawing. Exclusive six examples were prefab, with the prototypical two going to Mr. Hayashi - and this is one of them. Whereas the initial warning received a two-tone medal space job, this secondment representative was stained dishonourable with a unripe inside. And now it has originate onto the market. Though the one Bentley Continental GTZ eer improved newly went up for marketing, the possibility to get your safekeeping on an creative Zagato small edition as selective as this car is a rare one indeed. Its on agreement at Symbolic Locomote Car Set of La Jolla with rightful 2,800 miles on the time, though theres no asking cost recorded and it isnt street statutory in California. Review it out in the high-res simulacrum room for a fireman care.
