Sold to collectors with the provison that were never raced. A friend saw one of the tubs when he was at the factory in the early 2000's..

Is so ugly that is beautiful! And its the BEST Ferrari ever made by performance. It was designed for group b which never raced in Le Mans, or mostly on circuits was a total beast. And the base for the F40 that mounted a detuned versión of this engine. Which in itself is a detuned versión of group C Lancia Ferrari LC2.Which is why F40 can be massaged to 650 or 700 hp pretty easily.

😮😮😮❤ amg

This is the true beast

That 0-60 stat is absolute bullcrap and I’m also a bit dubious about that dry weight figure

Thanks Mr Nicola Materazzi..

Man this ain’t Bugatti this was mythbusters.

Mercedes ruin it every time. 😅 They go too far.

Still my FAVORITE wingcar paint scheme.

Thanks for not speeding up the film like everyone else did. How on earth do those 2 fans create that much vaccum. We have giant vacuum pumps in series in the paper mill that can’t do that pressure how do 2 electric fans do it.

Driving by the Dealership, in a houston suburb, on a monday morning, in the backseat of my dad's station wagon, and seeing these on the car lot was jaw-dropping.

Baby F40

Worth Every penny Bobby is a legend. He won in more different car makes than anyone. This car is going to only go up in value.

That’s the ugliest f**king thing I’ve ever seen. 288 GTO is pure art but this is crap

but the f50gt had better performance than a 911 gt1 or even a f1 gt1 am i wrong ?

Those taillights look scary 🥶

“BBATHTUB”?🤣 RAT ROASTER BABY

Safety was secondary! Now safety ruined most of racing!

It's amazing what engineering can do when rules and budgets do not get in the way. AWESOME

I got that hemi except with the cross ram. I wish I had a Daytona to put it in

A dustbin with a very powerful engine for its day. Any hot rodder could make the same or better now. I know, it’s the history and the provenance that separate a 50k car from a 1.5 million car. But it’s still a very fast dustbin ?!

Talks about diablo gtr and continuously shows a stock countach.

I remember them. My favorite racer of All Time. Killed Cam Am though.

😲 nasty 🤔 that's a lot of bread 🍞 but I'd buy it if I had the 💰

ME TOO MY DREAM CAR ❤

Very cool

Given its power to weight, this would be a hyper car even today. They only made 3 complete cars, I'll assume it's the holy trinity then!

i will without a doubt own this car in the future. i love luigi chinetti's business and the history is amazing. unfortunately, i am on the west coast so i have never met mr. coates or seen him racing the car, but when i get the opportunity to own it i surely will not pass it up. i am very fortunate to have attended several vintage races in California throughout the years, and one day i will race this car at laguna seca! if you see him again please put in a good word haha

Hollow titanium screws to save weight. Serious!

I would love 💕 to buy this car ❤❤

I remember that race it was so cool to see Bobby run that fast back then Ford had the boss 429 in that race to

Still fast by today's standards. 🕶️

Bill Elliott smoked it not in a closed track test But RACE LAPS SMALL BLOCK 351 no freak nise stupid wing eat on that mopar

Sorry but 1,580 hp could not have happened. I know everyone says it but there is zero evidence and even less evidence that it ever raced with that kind of power. Ian Bamsey, not known for showing restraint in these matters*, wrote that on one occasion, the engine was in a test chamber and may have been putting out as much as 1,500 hp when it blew up. Remember too that this was 1973 and boost dials were not calibrated like they are today. So there’s no way to get any kind of precise idea of what it was producing when the knob was fully wound out. This engine was descended from the 908, which produced 350-375 hp from three litres and eight cylinders. With an extra four cylinders, the engine became the 912 and came out of the box at about 540 hp, which scales almost perfectly. Bored out to 4.9 litres, the normally aspirated 912 _might_ have made 620 but 600 is likely the top. This was the engine that powered the vast bulk of endurance racing 917s in 1970-71. For CanAm, it was eventually enlarged to 5.4 litres and turbocharged. The Eberspacher turbos came from truck engines and were probably sourced from some far flung arm of Roger Penske’s trucking empire. In any case, they were never designed with racing in mind. In 1973, the best F1 engines were making about 160 hp/litre. The old 908 was good for 125 hp/litre at best. If this figure is to be believed then it must have been making 292.59 hp/litre. Yes, it was turbocharged. Yes it was beefed up. But there are some things that could not be changed. The original 912 block was made up of two flat sixes with the power take off and the cooling fan in the middle. The cylinders were simply bolted on individually and it shared the same valve gear as the original. Because it was air cooled, it was necessarily less rigid than a conventional water cooled engine. Even allowing for beefing up, 292 hp per litre is an awful lot to ask of components that were designed for a maximum of 125. As power doubles, the internal stresses quadruple. So those components would have to be very much stronger indeed than their ancestors, which simultaneously increases rotating mass. But the biggest problem was the length of the engine. It was very long and this meant it suffered from flex. Flex will eventually lead to components not aligning properly and ultimately engine failure. And that harder you push it, the more likely that is to happen. Even if I accept the race figure of 1,100 hp - which I do - that still nearly 204 hp/litre. The normally quoted maximum in the day was 1,400 and that is nearly 260. At 1,580 hp, each cylinder would have to make 131.66 hp… from components that were originally designed for 46.9 hp per cylinder. Boost up to two atmospheres was also highly unlikely and 1.3-1.4 was far more likely. I don’t expect everyone to just believe me but an Adam Carolla interview with a Porsche engineer who was actually working on the engine referred to that figure. Again, the boost was not calibrated. The claims for this engine are simply implausible. *When the Sauber C9 did 400 km/h at Le Mans, Bamsey wrote that it did 410. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, he has stuck with this figure.

Didnt know about the duel shocks.

That engine is wild

And 1 4 bbl. carb! 👍

Its not a car..its an huge rc with a car moteur...any rc cars with big.moteurs can make a record on any track

Check out the flush back light for fast back air flow

I’ve met the owner of one and they all now go for $6.2M and only 8 we’re made

Thanks for the close up look at this amazing engine.

I would love to drive that.

I have that in forza, mine I think has the 6.2 out of the hellcat and the stock tires, spins a lot for the tires being as thick is possible🫥 even if it is like 800 horsepower

Now that's a fast moving room air filter if i ever saw one

Banning innovative technologies from "racing": is kind of like: "Johnnie, go out and play just don't have too much fun." Street cars are now cooler than race cars. F1, Indy, Formula E, WEC, NASCAR are essentially single design spec series. We have told the future Jim Hall, Colin Chapman, Bruce McLaren, Jack Brabham's to stay home and keep their mouth's shut.

Love this car

Two beasts,no way to reach it out....legend drivers i wasnt still born but if i remember well the daytona was drove to bobby isaac and the plymouth to richard petty?

It's worth mentioning that the V8 used at Le Mans is not the same V8 used during the FIA GT Championship. The LM used the M119 at Le Mans (as you mentioned in this clip), and both DNF'd. After Le Mans, Mercedes used the GT108B, which is a noticeably different engine if you listen to the engine notes. The Le Mans spec engine is much more bassy like the Sauber C9, while the FIA GT spec sounds like it has a flat plane crank, like a DTM spec engine.

I have the Aston Martin Vulcan in need for speed payback it sounds menacing
