Ferrari 458 Chases McLaren MP4-12C in Tunnel

In what could be described as a case of Italy Vs. Britain, a Ferrari 458 chased a McLaren MP4-12C through a tunnel, offering some amazing audible acoustics to enjoy! It is always fun to watch formidable foes put the pedal down on their differences.

Don’t get jealous, there is no need! Rent a Ferrari 458 Italia in Chicago during the summers and experience the sheer power personally!

In the super short supercar clip above, you can hear the cars change gears as they zip through a tunnel. The tunnel works to amplify the engine sounds, which is cool.

McLaren and Ferrari are natural enemies and loved by the masses, so it is cool to see a bit of a face-off in public between the two. When it comes to the MP4-12C and the 458 Italia, however, both models suffered big trouble following release!  The Ferrari 458 fires burned up headlines for weeks, and McLaren was forced to cease production due to safety concerns.
