What else are you going to do when you have a freshly restored $50,000,000+ ex-LeMans Ferrari around? Drive it all over a locked-down London of course. listen to that V12 shock



Ride eternal, shiny and chrome

Incredible sound and a beautiful car. Think I'll go for a drive in the morning. thumbs

That was cool but this is how you drive a Ferrari through a city shock https://player.vimeo.com/video/34039780?autoplay=1

Crank it up and when you watch it the second time see it you can count the number of red lights he drives wide open through tsk


(actually it was a Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 with a camera mounted to the front and a Ferrari 275 GTB dubbed in for engine sound.......funny how they dubbed in a few missed shifts drive laugh2)

^^^ Yup. One of the most beautiful sculptures of all time, to my eyes.
And a proper soundtrack to match.
Not sure I'd be comfortable on those narrow streets full of parked cars, but glad he was.

I think the best-sounding Ferrari V12 of all was the 333 in that Euro Shell commercial some years back.
But the nastiest, chainsaw-from-hell, pulse-quickening, 12-cylinder of all time is the Porsche 917.
Not to discredit the old Matra F1 V12, which sang a full octave above normal F1 cars of its era.

That 275 is pure artwork. I had a HUGE scale model of that car I built when I was a kid. 1/8th scale I believe.

The 250 GTO is probably one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

I would LOVE to take a ride,,,although the odds that will ever happen is quite slim

iagree There really isn't another car more beautiful than a Ferrari GTO and with the legendary durability of an endurance racer makes it a total package bow
