@Davvy Jannes 14:46 The other reviewer Mark Hales talks about driving the F40 for the first time, mentions that time it was Nick Mason's Car. He nods his head, almost as if saying "like this time again"

All I know is that the F50 is Barry Treacys however this was filmed when it was still for sale at Dick Lovett so my best guess is both the F50 and F40 is from Dick Lovett
@jaeburbage15455 жыл бұрын
Davvy Jannes you’d think it would be a good selling method however Barry (the current owner) has actually paid for a deposit for the F50 before this was filmed and the dealer mentioned nothing of this filming, the battery cover was also missing as well as I believe the soft top or the hard top either or so it’s a bit shady on the dealers part especially with the price that was paid
@jaeburbage15455 жыл бұрын
Davvy Jannes no problem but it’s true a used car salesman will always be a used car salesman no matter the cost of the car, obviously nothing against these guys and Chris Harris as I’m positive they were completely un aware that the car was actually sold. But you’re right there’s always the down sides the more money they bigger the ups and the bigger the downs

I agree. Why buy a car and then not drive and enjoy it? I once bought a Fiat500 (the original) and I got the more powerful version with 850ccm. That same day my friend got a 750ccm, and we took them to the track (a forest macadam road), and just had fun. Both cars were totaled and completely dead after a few hours. But we had a great time. If I had only put it in a garage and not driven it at all. I could have doubled or even tripled my investment if I sold it today. I paid around 150 euros back then, hmmm... With some tough negotiations, I might have sold it for up to 700 euros for it today. You live and you learn. ;) :) ;)

Pretty obvious here, that most of the Americans, including Chris Harria, still have a lack of experience into the full amount of engine varieties, since they mostly deny anything smaller than R6 or V6 and are not that much into turbo engines. He was even curious about the manual transmission which is most likely standard in most non-american countrys. I would say his overall experience isn't high enough for "Top Gear".

@ianedmonds919110 жыл бұрын
But that turbo... I love that car but it has the wrong engine. I'd love to see a remastered version with a bigger engine but a titanium block V12 to keep the weight down. Either that or some future solution incorporating some of the Mclaren torque fill technology. Electric motor and lightweight batteries filling in the turbo lag. It's a legenedary car but it does suffer some well documented shortcomings that could be solved by modern technology. F40 remastered pls. All my opinions are not first hand - I formed them from reading and other videos. I don't stand myself up as an expert. These are just my opinions. Luv and peace.
@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN10 жыл бұрын
***** Nothing that you said is wrong, I wouldnt personally switch the V8 for a V12, it would unavoidably reduce the power to weight ratio on a car thats whole existence and character is based on the fact it weighs little more than a tonne. The twin turbo F120A engine is in my opinion an engineering milestone that belongs in a contemporary museum, 500BHP from 3 litres was and still is phenomenal. Ferraris finest moment outside motorsport. The torque fill that Mercedes and Renault pioneered for F1 and now in the P1 and 918 is fantastic technology but its like comparing a digital watch to an exquisite hand crafted analogue piece. The digital watch keeps time better and it has more modes and features but you cant fall in love with it like a mechanical watch with the clicks and the gears, its difficult to quantify. For a nurburgring time a modern car would be faster, but for the sheer pleasure of driving, thd sensation through the steering wheel, that mechanical relationship between man and machine, the RWD, the gated manual gearbox, I'd take the F40 every day :)
@IcyDeath919 жыл бұрын
the irony is of course is that that pretty much sums up the Corvettes, and you won't catch anybody praising a Corvette like that. Obviously the F40 is in a different league, but still, it seems that light vehicles, with powerful V8s, and a manual gearbox is a winning combination.

When he came back he had a f40 cos his buddies thiught it woukd be funny to modify his mr2 to look like a kitcar f40 needless to say, they must have been drinking alot while doing it, they did a tragic job. But the mr2 owner must have a good sense of humour, as he still drives it around to this day, I've seen him in it a few times haha.

In mid 90’s I saw an F40 on the dyno. It put 390hp to the wheels. They raised the boost a little and it put down 420. Because of this awesome Drive vid I dug up my VHS and posted the dyno run.

The F50 was the very first supercar I ever sat in. I was about 14 years old, around 1996 I guess. One was being sold at a Range Rover dealership. I sat in that thing, my ass literally felt like I was on the ground. I fell in love immediately, but was shocked how someone could drive sitting that low. To this day it is 1 of my all time favorite cars and one of the best looking IMO. I'm so glad Chris did this review to show how much of a masterpiece it really is. Unfortunately it's predecessor, the F40, is just the greatest car of all time. You can't knock the F50 for that. Idk one car in the 90's that was remotely close to it, except maybe the Jag XJ220, oh and the McLaren F1. But still to this day in 2019, no car is considered "better" than that F40. What an awesome video.

There simply aren't enough words to describe what these cars do to a man who grew up in the 80's and the dreams I've had about ever owning one. It must be pure heaven to actually own / drive them.

@vanduc996 Жыл бұрын
I'm with you mate, GTO is now and has been for quite awhile, my favourite car / Ferrari of all time. But it wasn't always that way. When I was a 12 year old kid when the F40 dropped I was absolutely blown away. It was just such pure race car, which to me was such pure Ferrari, because to me Ferrari was racing. The fact that the F40 was available to drive on the road was just outrageous! I started to turn on to the GTO in the late nineties, and the deal was really sealed with that amazing EVO article with the big four in'04 ish. But you know, as much as I love the GTO I also still love the F40. There's a purity and a brutality to it, kind of driving condensed to it's pure essentials, that I find so appealing. But then there's the raw beauty of the GTO that is just so beguiling! In essence I'm torn between the two. But I've decided that the GTO and the F40 are two facets of the same car, I now think of them as Jeckyl and Hyde elements of the same perfect Ferrari. One classy and beautiful, yet still potent and capable, the other hard, raw, unforgiving. I no longer feel need to choose between them, they're heads and tails, GTO and F40, of the same automotive coin
@protectandswerve Жыл бұрын
@@vanduc996 Well said Sir! Main reason for the GTO for me though is the looks. Since Magnum P.I. aired and the 308 body style grabbed my Soul for life, the 288 GTO is simply the best looking car man has ever made (to me). So since the performance isn't really relevant between the two for me (my modern cars will certain outperform), it's solely about looks and a bit about "in time period" performance. Both are amazing and I'd love to drive / own an F40 as well for a close 2nd place.

I've watched this video many times. Both the F40 and F50 are legendary cars in their own right. The F40 may be considered one of the greatest cars ever made but that doesn't mean the F50 is rubbish by comparison. The F40 does seem more fun to drive on a circuit and more balanced and that's why it's easier to like than the F50. I have loved the F50 since I played my first racing game, Need For Speed 2 but I love the F40 too.

I have to be honest. I want an f40 now. Screw the f430 and the 458. I love everything about these 90's cars. All the technology in the newer cars totally ruins them. I don't think I will ever own a modern sports car again. It's all about mechanical grip, its all about mechanical gear changing and its all about the mechanical turbo's. And that interior! Nothing but everything it should have. Great seats, great steering wheel nothing but important gauges. No drivers aids!! I've been wasting my time searching for a perfect sports car when all I needed to do was to look backwards in time. Also, Tuner cars the ultimate evil for all sports cars because they stand for everything that ruins legitimate super-cars.

Fuck tuner cars, I agree with you, I also agree that both the f40 and f50 are AMAZING cars, followed by Enzo that was an extraordinary aswell, I don't like the later Ferraris, but, there are two Ferraris that are amazing, 599GTO and F12 Berlinetta, both different cars than f40, that's true, less agile, heavier, but F12 has the ultimate V12 Aspirated engine, the ultimate (more skeptical and extraordinary) aerodynamics and gear changes that are practical zero. It's a shame to spit on all that science in the name of pleasure, F40 is an amazing car, but compared with the 250 GTO is exactly what is 458 is to F40. Most Ferraris are amazing cars, actually there are dozens of magnificent cars that you can drive or collect, it's a shame to be stuck in just one model of one brand.
