    Couldn't stop smiling while watching this video. The reason for the 1st gear being in a dog-leg position, is to have the 2nd and 3rd gear on a straight line, as they are the 2 most used gear on a race track. Thanks for the treat guys !

    I've only seen one in person once, and oh what an experience it was! I was in the US before the release and driving on a major interstate not far outside of the New York Metropolitan area. There I was in my crappy rental car and this basically debaged Ferrari (latter identified as the F40) rolled by at modest speed. I was so memorized at the time I had to get a closer look. The driver realized I was attempting to sneak up on him and not simply pass. I turned to my right and looked him directly in the eye to wave and he disappeared with a down-shift and astronomical scream from high revs. I was satisfied from the brief glance I got that day. To top things off the driver looked really familiar and I just could not shake that. After a couple of weeks I realized that he looked like Enzo Ferrari. The internet was a space age fantasy at that time and I needed to round up as many photos of him that I could find in my collection of auto magazines. When I looked at one photo of him wearing what appeared to be those same dark glasses and matching overcoat the driver had I couldn't believe it. It must of been him taking this incredible machine out for a solo drive to enjoy. If it wasn't him I will still cherish the first glimpse of something that spectacular when most automobiles where incredibly boring and pathetic.

    Special special car for anyone born in late 60s to late 70s. I was fortunate to follow one around Loughborough and surrounding country side in late 89 for about an hr in my Newly acquired first car (1986 VW Scirocco GTS 1800) .The F40 was an incredible stunning car to follow huge rear tyres, wing, engine cover, exhausts and very red. once in a while I would hear this howl moments later it would disappear up the road rapidly, As any self respecting 17 year old car nut ,I used the force to keep up,the narrow winding country lanes helped my cause tremendously I felt like Jean Alesi for an hr. God knows what the guy driving it felt like,I suspect euphoria and bewilderment. Probably the most iconic Ferrari for our generation. Really enjoyed this vid and your channel this year .Happy and prosperous new year CGs

Absolutely brilliant , Thank you for the video on this EPIC car.

    What a way to end the year. Very good video. I would be surprised to find someone disliking this video. The intro was very good with the music. It would help to improve the video even more to have some slo-mo action whilst you describe some of the features or simply when you pan along the car. I think you should do more feature length videos of special cars, as it allows to deepen more into small details and provide some extra content than the regular ones. I know it’s extra work but the result is just epic. This is better than most car-related tv nowadays. If there was a fire and you have to save one car of your collection, I think this should be the one. It’s an icon. It’s the purest expression of what Ferrari represents.

The passenger footwell was full of empty crushed coke cans and empty packets of crisps scattered everywhere like a skip, unbelievable !!. Funnily enough I was watching some old jay leno's garage, ferrari episodes yesterday on yet another youtube wormhole , featuring David lee's F40 I did not realise that those IHI turbo's were designed and made in Japan !!! .

Not taking away from the F40, merely pointing out that what Enzo thought at that time, did not natter all that much. That being said, I still think it's one of the greatest Ferrari ever made.

    @@roverwaters3875 The F40 was designed by eng. Nicola Materazzi under explicit request of Enzo Ferrari. He first was asked to design the engine of the 288 GTO. Then he was asked to design (in his spare time, because that couldn't take time to the road or the F1 division) the GTO Evoluzione for racing in group B. Materazzi designed the all car and Pininfarina did the body kit. This had a bad CX and so Materazzi designed a better body kit. When the test drivers tried the car, they were so impressed that Enzo Ferrari decided to make a road car of it, in limited edition. This final evolution was refined by Pininfarina and became the F40. After this project, Fiat decided to be more involved in the road division and Materazzi decided to leave. Then the 348 was made. So the F40 is the latest car designed and developed under the request and the control of Enzo Ferrari: Fiat had nothing to do with it. I don't know if Ferrari considered this to be his best car, but certainly was his last one.

    Great job guys! Well worth your troubles likely the most insightful F40 video I've seen - definitely the funniest! I was a lad of about 20 when it came out, a favorite then/now & this just gave me a BOOST why! So much character quirks be damned. How to most effectively exit the car on hands sounds about right had me in stitches, & did you see that F40 exclusive wing shadow as Jason launched out on the Rd for his stint at the wheel???!!! Nothing else equals the F40. I got my sensory overload fill on my bday in '16 at the Daytona Ferrari Mondiali event where no less than 3 were for up-close viewing, plus (2) 288 GTO's & even the super rare 288 GTO EVO. Never thought I'd get so excited watching a car fire up as when they moved them to their "sleeping qtrs. I was a kid again! Hope you guys been able to attend one it was NUTS. Cheers!

    So much torque it spins the wheels pushing hard even at 40 to 60 mph. That can slow down the 0 to 60 unless the temps are high and the road dry. My tuned S4 spins the wheels too easily and I have to touch accelerator gently and push hard once it going 20 or 30 in cold temps.

    For starters at least, those cars wouldn't do that w/the street tires they came with. The F40 could break 200 Mph bone stock right off the showroom floor on original tires. And if you were to wage bets on which could hold that spd longest without blowing up, my $$$ would be on the F40. I won't even touch which one's faster on a road course! 😋
