@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

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

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

Probably Not A Chicken who's that guy???

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. ;) :) ;)

There's a guy in Japan who daily's a P1 lol

Not even talking to super and hyper cars. I had an Abarth 595 and it was my daily...and my dealership told me that most of their clients only used them for week-ends...

vedang patil Yes that's true.

No doubt, these cars are legends, but I'm totally not into Chris Harria. 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".

I have a soft spot for the F50 because it has a streamlined look to it and is so timeless looking. The Dodge Viper and Mazda RX-7 are other 90's cars that don't look that dated at all.

@@4zap7 He designed the engine, the chassis, the integrated rollbar the aerodynamics, the package options, the gearbox. Materazzi is not a designer is a legend, a man that put his genius in the Stratos, GTO, EB110 and Edonis without mentioning its contribution to the F1 Turbo advancement. Really it's not a common designer that "gives a guideline".

That's a cute story and all..but anyone familiar with the engineering and manufacturing process knows that's not how it all really went down..

Sho Nuff I suppose you are familiar with the design and manufacturing process of Ferrari

my favorite Ferrari is the Ferrari 458 Italia & speciale & F50 &550 marinelo & F40

+hexagon523 True that. Those F40 fanboys need to back down. The F50 is made out of F1 technology so it had to be a bette r car than the F40.

+hexagon523 So glad someone finally said it! The F50 is a brilliant car and just looks, sounds and is amazing! First time I saw one in real life it was next to an F40 and that just didn't have the same kind of presence as the F40. However I still love the F40 as any car guy would!

XJ220 as well

The f50 has weird styling.

Definitely the XJ220. It even handled better than the Mclaren F1 road cars and it held the lap record at the Ring for many years. 7 minutes 46 seconds may not seem as quick today, but the track was a bit longer then and not as quick as it is today.

John Staudt 1230kg is heavy? LaFerrari is 1350kg!

not heavy at all.

Definitely wait and see! If he is allowed to do his thing, Top Gear can be really good again. Albeit different. Clarkson and crew made one of my favorite TV shows ever, so it's big shoes to fill.

+Hammerhaus Kennel Lets not forget that the original crew is filming their own new show with Amazon Video. Some big shoes will have to be filled to replace Clarkson

F40 is still my ultimate dream car. Hasnt changed in 20 years of wanting one. Dont think it will.

***** Cars will be flying and teleportation will be mainstream before the magic of the F40 fades...

Deni Pallas Thx!!

@Mcryd I eventually did post it up on my KZfaq channel. The car was owned by John Carmack at the time (creator of Castle Wolfenstein and Doom etc).

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.

***** 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 :)

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.

The later year models of the F40 DID switch from the twin turbo V8 to a V12. So yea, you don't have to even do a swap if you find the correct year.

What are you talking about, F40's never had V12's

I dunno, he was pretty dumbfounded in the P1 review.

Hi

Nuno Bandeira lol 2019

30 years on and still the best car out there.

what are the other videos that are as good as this one? I couldn't find any better than this video.

the XJ220 was legendary in its own right. Props for that honorable mention that many sleep on

Jesus. Who would have ever thought a car could ever be such an appreciating asset back then and really, even now.

I bet future will reserve a special place for F12 Berlinetta, the same way those Ferrari's in this video! Berlinetta is a masterpiece and it can be a truly sport car without turbo or a supercharger.

McLaren F1's went for about 1mill then and now they go for over 10 million dollars.

F1's are going for 10+ times what the where new.

A few years ago you could get some 3 series Ferrari's fairly cheap, not anymore. I have a pile of "I wish I would have...."

288 GTO, F430, 588, and 330 P4 are also my favourite cars, Interceptor2500. 👍

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

@@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 completely agree with you about the looks of the GTO. So beautiful it literally makes me ache with desire if i look at one for any length of time. It’s got the perfect blend of Italian grace and beauty with Italian hot rod machismo

Right?! When he said 2013, I had to check the year this video was published. To hear what it was like in someone's hands in 89, then in 2013, it's clear it's still an epic car. Monkey is the best automotive journalist.

My cousin knows this guy in his town who has a Toyota mr2, he went on holiday, for a few weeks, and left the mr2 on his driveway! 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.
