Chris Harris is back, boys and girls, with a whole bunch of great new full-length and FREE videos! No more of that DRIVE subscription nonsense. In one of the new videos he released Chris and his mate Mauro Calo test two of the hottest cars on the planet right now – it’s 458 Speciale v 991 GT3.

The venue for this test is the Angelsey track, which as we’ve been reminded by a reader is NOT in England, but Wales!

It was hard to focus on the cars after seeing Mauro’s shoes, but nevertheless, one would be amazed at the level of performance these cars deliver on the race track, which makes the fact that they are actually street legal a bit baffling. That Ferrari, especially, is dangerously lairy.
