Bored from lockdown? Race around in a 1962 Ferrari 250GTO

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

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

That was cool but this is how you drive a Ferrari through a city 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


(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 )

^^^ 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.

Truly a beautiful car!

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 one of my favorite cars of all time. Pure sex on wheels...

always wanted to build this.

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

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

Good stuff. This one here is considerably more lively:
