Apparently it's one of HR. Owens Demos.

[Bunty Killa]

Well it does have that plate - 12HRO. Im sure the same car didnt have a black roof before

[doodles19]

Eugh, dry steering, bad gordon!

[Haliatus]

Yeah thats the HR Owen car nice roof wrap by the looks of it

[bromers2]

Nice in White but they sound a bit quiet.

[munch997]

It was a little louder in person than the video.
But 458 are loud on start-up then go quiet, then seem to have to be pushed a bit before the valves open...

[Durzel]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice the dry steering. Tsk!

What's dry steering? Turning the steering wheel without the car moving, scuffing the tyres?

Yep thats the one, it's not so much the tyres, dry steering really isn't good for your steering components in general. Stretches linkages and stuff if iirc.


I try, as a rule only to turn whilst moving, even be it at very very slow speeds.

I saw him hop into this car a couple of weeks ago outside claridges. Sounded quiet at first and then after about a second or so there was an almighty bark from the engine, very loud - sounded great!!

...just realised this video is when i actually saw him, it did sound much louder in real life - looked much better in the flesh too

Driving a white Ferrari is like licking a brown ahole. Tells you all you need to know about Gordon. Stopped going to 'his' restaurants years ago

Whats wrong with a white ferrari?? I was going to copy this same colour coding for my 458 next year. Now i've got doubts!!

[Original Poster]

Stunning combination.

[Conor D]

Is the black roof something that is specced through Ferrari themselves, or is it an aftermarket thing?
