I get one in the next life, what a sweet sound

What a glorious noise! On par with a Huey startup.

The mechanicalness of this car is glorious , even in the video you can experience it to some degree to drive it must be awesome . Put you good headphones on for a treat . The big power at 5500 rpm to 7000 rpm them change up , hell yeah I guess the owner does not want to take it up to 7700 rpm i dont blame him .. great video

God that is a thing of beauty.

THE SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a proper drive video. Showing all aspects of the car driving. Well done.

Magnificent car. Speed not as important as how the car makes you feel.

Always loved this car.

car sounds great. makes me want a 308 gtb as my first ferrari someday since the 6 speed 355's have jumped in price a ton.

I could have bought one of these just like this 20 years a go a with an excellent service history which I know is authentic my brother is the Service Manager at the local Ferrari Dealer that sold it when new. It was being traded in on a newer model and it could be bought for 25K. to make matters worse I could have bought it then no problem. What would Magnum think.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU, Switzerland and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party and Gretas FFF movement gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now these green heroes want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute to punish customers...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions- and smoke crime.... :-( :-(((

Yes, but your wifes Acura is a souless Honda built Japanese box. This coming from a hardcore Japanese car fan. This car is instanly recognizable as a Ferrari. Your Acura could be mistaken for any type of modern day box. This car keeps you alert with all the stuff you have to do to drive it. The Acura comes with stuff like lane departure and blind spot detection warning buzzers for WHEN not if you fall asleep at the wheel.
