Well thanks for letting me know. Didn't know he'd passed till now.

Whoever reading this one day you will own a FERRARI........

40 years as a Ferrari mechanic and hands down the 288 is my favorite car for the street. The 288 is so much fun, very forgiving and easy to drive. Having thousands of mile of seat time in 288's is one of my fondest memories, the only complain would be that the seat gets uncomfortable after a couple hours. Love these cars so much, seeing one brings back so many good times...

Harry Metcalfe recently had a go at a 288 GTO as well and deeply regreted not buying one back when he had the chance in the 2003-2005 era. He bought a Zonda instead and got to be on Horacios inner circle list, but today he regrets not owning a 288 GTO and cannot afford one today.

Alain is a great presenter and the 288 GTO is a magical machine. I never thought I'd see someone flogging a GTO on damp roads in the fog. I'll bet when the drone operator saw that last shot, a tear came to his eye. Such a wonderful video in every way.

After the VbD series, I grew to appreciate the details, the engineering, and most of all the histories of models and makes, the quirks... Good to see he's still doing these drives and sharing his sentiments.

No exotic engine sounded this menacing. The best Ferrari ever, and I love that this was filmed on a gray day, because that makes the paint pop.

The sound of the engine travels up the spine like a first kiss. What a great car, thanks for taking us for a ride.

Missing Alain's great automotive contributions. Thanks for featuring him! It's uncanny that the turbos don't stifle the sound of that V8, but instead it has an outrageously great exhaust sound. It almost sounds like that was the sound chosen for Petrolicious' opening.

@goognamgoognw6637

3 жыл бұрын

Honestly as a NA V8 owner, no turbo can match a naturally aspirated induction in sound, not even a GT0 288. The turbo changes the exotic rocket sound into more of an oversized tin can sound, although the V8 helps saving it. Today the V8 are replaced with puny i6 or V6 and the sound just sucks.

The 288 GTO has been my dream car since it was new ... and now this road is my dream trip too!

That closing shot, pure beauty.

Fantastic video - thank you for posting this. Wonderful to see Alain de Cadenet again! The Victory by Design series with AdC still stands the test of time as a highlight for car nuts. Kudos to the owner of this 288GTO for allowing it to be driven, and in bad weather no less.

To my eyes the most beautiful car ever built.

Wow the Evo 288 GTO 2000 lbs and 650 HP = a monster and 225 mph Very impressed they took one of these gems out in funky weather. I always enjoy Alain's commentary his voice and knowledge is the best. Thank you this is so cool.

FANTASTIC! I miss Victory By Design, easily one of the best car shows ever. Looking great Alain, God Bless.

What a majestic ending... the magnificent beast... and the echoes of its roars rumbling through the mountains...

What an absolutely stunning automobile. The thing dreams are made of.

It's great to see Alain de Cadenet again. This was a wonderful episode.

There is a millionaire guy from my hometown that owned a bunch of McDonald's restaurants that bought one of these--the 288 GTO. I saw it on the road a few times tooling about town--quite a sight driving down the city's main row where nothing more exotic than a Cadillac regularly had been. He also bought one of the first modern Studebaker Avantis that came off the line in Youngstown Ohio. I could only watch in awe and did not try to catch this thing that was so exotic in my anemic little Iron Duke Chevrolet Monza. It was fun to see. I have also seen a 512 Berlinetta up close also, owned by this little Italian man who was a mortician in my hometown--he was a motorhead who still owned his first car, a T-bucket hotrod with an Olds engine and an Offy intake--straight 1950s. I wish that 288 GTO was still around.

Alain de Cadenet could review a blender and I would watch the whole thing. Also, what a car. I don’t know what I like more, the exterior, interior, or the sound.

I know I will never own a 250 GTO, but with some good wealth management/growth I may be able to swing a 288 GTO in a few years. That is my target Halo Ferrari (a guy who owns a '09 430 Scud and a '19 488 Spider).
