judging from the needle the acceleration will pin you to the seat. I am amazed at how hardcore the engine note is

Seems fast forward. That is much too fast for a Ferrari 459 and the note itself sounds too high pitched compared to any Ferrari V8 out there.

I believe it is the 430 Novitec.

Edit: that what others seem to be saying to.

whatever car that was, it was pretty sick!

it looks too fast to be real, but wow.
edit: if you go to ferrari's 458 italia website, and go to "sound" then u listen to "on board" its not the same sound as this video.

The Dash in the video does not match that of the 458.

Still enjoyable to watch, thanks.
