F40s don't leak oil... they're sweating horsepower

The ultimate Ferrari in my opinion...just a bare-bones driving machine, the way it's meant to be.

I love how much work Tiff is having to do behind the wheel. The F40 looks like an absolute blast to drive. Agree with the top rated comment, Tiff Needell is the man.

F40, Greatest super car ever made. Ferrari hit the nail on the head when they made the F40.

Best car ever built by humans. Nothing can touch it, it is truly beyond comparison. To even try does this magnificent machine a disservice.

the F40 is one of the greatest cars ever made, period.

Based on F40 prices today, I'd say Tiff gave some pretty good investment advice there.

I remember when my dad bought me a Firrari F40 RC car when I was a kid :) good times :)

I prefer the F40 than today's Ferarri's line up.

The F40's rival wasn't the Countach, it had already been out for a few years, and I'm guessing Ferrari already knew it wasn't that good. The car the F40 had to beat was the Porsche 959.

Tiff should host the new top gear

Veyron? I will take an F40

This is the best supercar ever made.

Thanks Ing. MATERAZZI!!!!

Every supercar should be made like the Ferrari F40 or the McLaren F1. Manual transmission, lightweight, RWD, and no driver assists. Just a pure raw element of its own. They say that you shouldn't meet your heroes. But the F40 is different. It is one of the only cars that you will not be disappointed when you meet it or driven it.

By far the best super car!!

Oh fuck yes...Tiff in a 40. To be a passenger in this........she is wonderful.

Such a beautiful car the F40, if money was no object I'd have one over anything else. So thank you Enzo ☺️

The F40 revolutionized car design like nothing else in time. Both sides of the pond. So many newer people reviewing cars literally have no idea how much the F40 birthed the cars they're giving nothing but loves to.

There is no other car to date that makes me so excited

Nobody can sell the sense of speed and excitment like Tiff can, he's the most entertaining car driver/reviewer !

I like the fact that all comments are only love for this magnificent car.

Ferrari F40s rival was the first Lamborghini Diablo (before the VT, SV and GT) Ferrari F50s rival was the Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 Lamborghini Countach 5000qv's rival was the Ferrari Testarossa.

2023 revisiting Tiff and F40 ... legendary! 👍👍❤

Every petrolhead in the world must admire this car! what a machine

Safe to say every little boy (and grown man) back in the 80s had a poster of this car on his wall.

still good looking Ferrari in 2013... what a lagend!

Greatest SuperCar ever made. Enzo approved!

Best super car ever. Going for around £900.000

Tiff is such a great driver and such a sense of humour! :)

It's nice to see a real raker behind the wheel of this awesome car !

Best Ferrari Ever !!

Tiff on the F40: "In the 25 years since it came into the world there's never been a supercar so perfect". Also Tiff on the Mclaren F1: "The greatest car in the world".

Tiff is a true car presenter, knows how to drive and his facts :-)

The living Legend of Ferrari F40.

F40 is magnificent... But I think my favorite supercar ever is the McLaren F1

The ultimate! Was then and still is. The outrageous back wing works because it's actually an understatement of the car itself.

My dream car .. one day i will buy it.

Two great legends, Tiff and an F40.

£250K? You wont get one for less than £650K now, amazing how quickly these things are going up in value!

34 years and it's still the most testosterone-laden, ball-draggin, beauty in the entire lineup.

Will forever remain one of the sexiest thing on 4 wheels

But F40 is better than Diablo and Countach , plz don't be angry ......

I adore this car... maybe because it was made in '87, same as me

Bringing back the classics!

Tiff is the man. Proper driver, trusted opinion.

Thank you eng. Materazzi for this beautiful work of art, sad that no one knows him. He is the father of: f40, gto evoluzione, gto and lancia stratos. Also he worked at the bugatti factory in Modena for the eb110

7 years later, you're probably looking at £1,000,000

Tiff Needell my favorite car show host driving my favorite Ferrari.

I was 12 the first time I’ve seen an f40, she was in a petrol station in to a desolate countryside and I remember it was a large nice straight road for more than a mile long, empty...when she left, I was expecting a big sound but nothing... I was so disappointed about that... After a few hundred yards the driver was pushing the gas all the way down and the I heard her angry screaming for all that straight mile... the twin turbos was pushing the car like a jet! I never had another emotion like that in my life again... I never listened such a good music like that! She will stay into my heart for the rest of my life...

Clarkson burns tires off cars, Tiff DRIVES them! One requires talent, the other requires tires.

Never get tired of watching this. There's a nice interview by Davide Cironi to the man who designed this car, he also designed the stratos. A visionary who made miracles whenever short-minded CEO's decided to let him pursue his ideas without compromising. The f40 is so driver focused because only one mind designed it from rear to front bumper. The guy was also a turbo specialist at the time, he had a japanese firm custom build the turbo for the f40

The QV came out in 1985 and was at the end of its life cycle. A 288 Gto would be a fairer comparison which came out in 1984.

The last and the best of the real supercars.... After this the computercars came in..... the cars that everybody can drive....

I saw an F40 on the road in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. It is the only hypercar I have ever seen being driven.

F40 is the soul of Ferrari..

I remember having an F40 poster in my bedroom when everybody had Bros and New Kids On The Block ... The framed picture of a Countach is still there I think. Always loved them both. I will have them both eventually, although the running costs have made me think twice about the F40.

Absolutely have loved the F40 ever since I was a little kid and still do. Someday I shall get in one and have the biggest smile on my face. Got to love Tiff!! Still to this day no car is as raw and amazing in every way for it's year. What a machine! Perfection!

MONSTER F40

testament of the great work done by Ing. Nicola Materazzi who designed the car "from the front number plate to the rear number plate" and to thrill Enzo Ferrari rather than to please Fiat management. Although it could never compete against the money-no-object approach of the later McLaren F1, it still thrills drivers to this day thanks to its focus on agility and involvement. Grazie Ingegnere.

The Diablo is what I remember as a kid being the Lamborghini equivalent of the F40. 202mph for Diablo & 201mph for F40....

Tiff downshifting and nailing the apex in an F40.... it does not get better than that!

of the 27 thousand people who've watched this, I really doubt there is even one that will buy a f40.

Tiff is the reason I fell in love with Ferrari 11 years ago when the Enzo came out.

Way to stay on the cutting edge, Fifth Gear.

this car reminds me of an old school VHS rewinder shaped to look like the F40 back in the day lol

I've been a Ferrari fan since I was 8 years old. And If I have the money, F-40 is my #1 choice in cars. Then Ill buy the 458 speciale.

I LOVE the F40!

Universally acknowledged as the GOAT. It was actually Enzo’s son, Dino, who championed the lightweight, rear mid-engined V8 design over the front-engined V12 favored by his father. Sadly, he died of a muscular wasting disease at the age of 23. It is fitting, then, that the greatest Ferrari ever made bears witness to his influence.

2014 Nissan GTR topspeed = 196mph / 0-200kmh 11sec 1987 Ferrari F40 topspeed = 201mph / 0-200kmh 11sec. who is faster?

I'd even call the F40 the first true hypercar

The Ferrari F40 is the best-all-time-car or that is my opinion, yours?

This and enzo will always be the goats

80's Ferrari's simply stunning the f40 the best looking car of all time

Why compare the 2, when one is obviously so much older, and wasn't build for the same purpose as the F40. Please bring on the 9five9 we can never get enough of these 2 super Heros!

Still the best car ever ♥

i'm no car guy, but i've always thought F40 is the sexiest car i've ever seen... its so beautiful

Good advice back then, selling for over 1 mil US today. F40's DO NOT have rubber fuel cells, and do not need to be replaced every 10 years, shame on whoever told you this... Love your enthusiasm for the car, I feel the same way...

Incredible

It looks amazing.

My favorite of all cars in this world.

The F40 would be the stand out car amongst any modern supercars or Hypercars! It's a wonderful timeless design.

Tiff rocks!

I like F40 very much.

Fifth Gear is stuck in reverse without Tiff

This thing is beast

In love with taht car since 1984, still rather have the 288GTO i think

I believe this is everyone dream car. And if it's not, you haven't found out yet.

each video I see from Fifth Gear, I get how much it is better than Top Gear.

already has been proven in several tests around the world, this car yields over 600hps and go over 360km / h-225mp / h stock, not to mention the special versions that come to 900hps "then the F40 GTE Michelotto" really is an incredible car, and remembering that the weight ranges from 870kg to 1100kg, I hope one day to have one, today I am still in my Scuderia 2009 but maybe one day ...

Beautiful car 👌🚘

April 2020 and these are now £1m. I remember in the late '90s you could pick these up for around £130 - 150k.

If you had purchased one of these when the video aired, almost 12 years ago, even for absolute top dollar, you'd have quadrupled your 'investment' at the very least, some people have seen appreciation in the 8-12 x range.

The only cars that, are concidered works of art! Are F40 and Mclaren F1 i feel like these cars are the main representation of the entire make! What an amazing car that F40 is!!!

It's just beautiful

Sehr gute Vorfuehrvideos.

Some people have got about 600 hours by increasing the boost and with that power and its lightweight can only imagine.

The legend. The best car of the world ever!!!!

Shifting gears took quite some time in the f40

tiff, never been a supercar so raw, so driver focused and so perfect? what about the mclaren f1 that you later called the best supercar ever?
