WAS THIS A GOOD IDEA!? First 500 Miles in My Ferrari SF90 with Roof Box

Рет қаралды 171,410

Жыл бұрын

It's time to get on the road! My Ferrari SF90 Stradale is fully prepared and ready for a rather unusual adventure, but it's day 1 and that means the first 500 miles / 800kms to France. The question is, how well are these suction roof bars going to hold up with the box!?
The SF90 is an absolutely fantastic car to use for so many purposes, only let down by the lack of luggage space as a lot of the front area is used for the electric motors that support and bring it to 1,000hp. While that's absolutely a non-issue for daily driving as I do at home to and from @TheShmuseum, it does mean that if you want to go on a longer adventure, another plan is required. Given my former life working as a ski instructor... that means a roof box!
I bought a now discontinued Thule roof box from a Volvo dealership (a rebrand exercise for the same product) and a set of SeaSucker Monkey Bars, before getting the box itself painted into Blu Elettrico to match the car at Godleman's. Simultaneously, the tyres have been swapped over to a set of Michelin Pilot Alpin in case we happen to find some snow on our travels - which is certainly the objective.
The first day kicks off from the barn with a long leg ahead to take the Eurotunnel to France and make our way all the way down to Strasbourg, with the slight nerves of how well this roof contraption is going to hold up along the way. Let's find out how it goes!
Thanks for watching, Tim

You should always secure the luggage inside the roofbox. Thule boxes usually comes with straps and have anchoring points inside the box to secure the luggage. Even small and light bags can cause a lot of damage if the box opens up at high speed.

You should check out the roof boxes from Asphaltkind. They are designed for speeds over 130 kph and are built in a way that the aero ist disturbed as much. The best part ist that they are made from carbon or crop fiber and can be made to your liking when it comes to the colour

@Shmee150 Жыл бұрын

The shape is cool, but going fast isn't hugely beneficial if the weak point is how you attach to the car in the first place. Not so many supercars have dedicated roof bar mounting systems, but I'm quite happy with the result.

@Hansen710 Жыл бұрын

that will also make your car looks like Clark Griswold is on vacation in it. you might as well buy a vw buzz, your cool car will not look better with a box on top decides GLS is faster then a roofbox over that distance

@HxTurtle Жыл бұрын

@@Shmee150 well, shape of the box does matters, actually. exactly in combination with your concern. the most likely reason for the box to come off isn't due to sheer drag, caused by frontal area, alone, but change in wind direction behind. this causes _induced_ drag quickly exceeding _parasitic_ drag. and should that end up being lift (what your box looks like since the flow on top probably gonna stay attached, causing the air to bend downwards, which then isn't counteracted upon from beneath when the two streams meet behind the box), then you need to be even more worried. sub 50 mph, no bad shape ever gonna produce noticable forces. but above 80, things do change. cheers! 😄

@HxTurtle Жыл бұрын

and should you happen to read that: that's why going up- or downhill is what you really need to be careful about! in Europe, there's plenty of freeway stretches with an inclination. trust me, going either side is "problematic." it'd be a fallacy to think, going down on a descending slope is only going to add pressure on the mountings, therefore they'll be stronger/hold better. no, you also greatly increase drag, which can make your box fly off anyways.

@HxTurtle Жыл бұрын

@@Shmee150 and only now started to actually watch the video, lol. when you're worried (which is a very sensible thing to do), then you should also always make sure to completely stuff the box. imagine it's halfway filled, luggage happily resting at the rear section and you need to slam the breaks. weight will dynamically shift, yes. but when the luggage from inside the box hits the very front, you get and additional extra bunch, potentially capable of knocking your box off. just saying. cheers!

It looked ridiculous. I like how the SF90 looks with the storage box.
