Thank God we don't have to pay 8$ a month for these videos. Love this channel.

[@Halliday57]

Who has to pay 8$ a month to watch videos ?

[@GreatToastMigration]

Zach Halliday Subscribers of Drive+.

[@banddude121]

If you are going to try to criticize a company, at least get its pricing somewhat close. You are going to have pay for XCAR soon or you will see ads overrun their videos. You can't produce higher quality content than Drive without going bankrupt or making people give up something.

It does not matter if you like Lambo or Porsche, or Pagani... F40 is the most perfect, beautiful car ever created.

[@Tain950]

I agree, the F40 is my favorite car of all time.

[@ronitdebnath]

And you are a road biker as well? Canyon aeroad it seems? Me too I have a caad12. I too love cars and road bikes.

[@deanroddey2881]

I like Lamborghini and Porsche primarily, but the F40 is just stunningly beautiful.

[@robertoautore9252]

The Ferrari F-40, an iconic masterpiece, Scuderia Ferrari

[@viiviketomaki7284]

F40 is a really great looking car but the most beautiful of all time? I disagree. I don't think it quite stands on the level of something like Miura, Daytona or Elan S1. And perfect? Gordon Murray said of the F40 that he couldn't make a car like it because he didn't have anyone who could match the horrid welding of the F40. Still I think I the F40 is a fantastic and amazing car not because it's perfect and gorgeous but because of how raw and unhinged it is. It's a perfect book end to the 80s supercars, a decade defined by mad turbo charged death traps brought on by Group B. F40 channeled that spirit into this just insane boundary pushing super car.

[@alpinaB12coupe]

For most of the people, cars are just an easier way to get from A to B, but for petrolheads, they are lifestyle, passion and love. And Ferrari F40 is the one of the first cars i fell in love with, the shape of it, simplicity and engineering. Thanks Enzo for letting us to witness this masterpiece and MAYBE one day i will have a chance just to sit in it.

[@TheLuisfsm]

I'm proud to say, I have a F40. A 1/18 scale toy car...

[@JarrydJunkin]

though to be honest the video work and their camera gear is better.....

[@kraenk12]

Jarryd Junkin Drive's production is way below XCAR to be honest.

[@acidelicacidelia]

Lachmund petrolicious is the best when it comes to production quality.

[@kraenk12]

[@Elkins82ify]

The F40's exhaust note is demonic!!! Absolutely beautiful...manly tears.

[@Froseization]

Touching guy + mythical car + sublime production = perfect combination

[@eSysmanSuperYachts]

I could watch John Pogson talking all night. He can tell a story! Went to visit his premises last year and he gave us a tour of his garage. He runs a Ferrari specialist in the UK. Was full of F40s at the time. Totally down to earth bloke but hugely successful in his racing Career and his Ferrari business. Top video also, very well shot with epic sounds from F40 on track. Bravo.

[@Arthurzeiro]

The F40 doesn't sound turbocharged, it's incredible.

[@AC130SS]

This video brought tears in my eyes :') thank you

[@ghibli608]

I love the F40! That noise is just brilliant! Why can't modern turbo charged cars sound this way??? No "Active Sound Module" on these beauties!

[@jeffwill4923]

Emission standards, noise limits and the people over the engineers. Noble M600 and P1 actually have some of this F40 raw behavior.

[@ghibli608]

I was thinking more on the line of current BMW M-models for instance. Or even modern Jags for that matter. They all sound a bit like they're trying too hard to make the engines sound good, but are falling short when you hear the F40!

[@AddeJong]

What noise? ;) I only hear music.... one of the best soundtracks ever....

[@SkynetGeneral]

Königseggs have this sort of behaviour too! Best current biturbos.

[@nhskiier8239]

Holy moly, you guys out did yourselves with this video. I got shivers when he told that story about his race towards the end. And the visuals on this were spectacular! Brilliantly done XCAR! :)

[@robbie3068]

I got shivers the entire way. Cried a bit too! I love the car, but this man?! Yeah I wish I could ride in one of those cars with him and listen to his stories!

[@647killa]

I live for these anologue cars. I always get teary eyed seeing them now bcz i know that era and these cars will never come back.

[@SpacemanXC]

This is the best tribute to the F40 I've ever seen. Just beautiful. Well done!

[@Bahamuttiamat]

I sincerely adore passionate people talking about their passion. Truly memorizing. Thank you xcar

[@freespace303]

Absolutely incredible film. Probably one of the best car videos I've seen this year.

[@sunilsom5700]

I have watched it SO MANY TIMES, and I don't know why it moves me to tears EVERYTIME.

[@AndrejGobec]

That was a spectacular tribute to both the man and the car! Very nice!

[@Allen.Saylor]

The amount of passion shown through him, is the passion of racing a see in admiration. Such a touching, spooky, realization of self greatness is achieved through driving these cars. The F40 has always been a favorite of mine since I was very young, before I even knew much about it, and it's a car I was always keep close to my heart, not because of it's rarity or price tag, but because of it's heritage and analogous setup that made the car what it still is, in my opinion, the ultimate drivers car.

[@ingineous]

The last proper sports car Ferrari produced. The epitome of what a sports car should be.... an extension of the driver. It's a true driver's car. No stupid algorithms telling you what to do and A MANUAL TRANSMISSION! !!!! I'm sad that my children won't be able to truly enjoy driving in its purest form. But I swear ..I will buy cars like this one day to carryon the legacies of the true drivers of yesteryear. Very good vid xcar. .. enjoyed every minute of it!

[@Silverdeamon92]

Excellent presentation and ohhh that symphony of explosions and exhaust you can't have conducted a better orchestral performance. Keep up the good work guys.

[@THEIIVADER]

That opening scene gave me goosebumps, what a great car. Thanks for sharing this

[@michaeld2519]

I can feel the love coming from this man, and just seeing these cars go gets my heart racing. Enzo, no one will be able to replicate your formula, you did the world a solid.

Fantastic video, well done xcar team. My God that F40 is beautiful. Mechanically and visually. It truly is the best car ever made.

[@LemuelTaylor]

XCar, we love you. I have no words...

[@Kinghavs]

Truly the most beautiful car ever made.. Born in the 80's To me the word supercar meant the f40. Only the Mclaren is as special.

Boys at XCAR are producing what is so gorgeous and meaningful motoring history. Very special topic and to me simply amazing all around ?

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

8:10: the front/side view of the F40 has always been my fav. angle of looking at those lines, with the 2nd F40 behind it and the track, just a picture perfect shot.

[@jakeralston6217]

I see people all the time claim that the f40 is their favorite car, without knowing anything about it. I'm so glad this video came out for everyone to learn. Beautiful video Xcar.

[@manuelmiguelestrada8049]

Superbly filmed at Rockingham … this is the very best and humbly honestly placed segment on “THE” icon… Ferrari F40…very well done. Also see “Regalo di Natale “ with Enzo’s M . &. Miquele Alboreto…. The F40 no-4 lent to Alboreto there… it’s Enzo’s F40 or a car with the same mirror design as Mr. Ferrari …. His F40 did had A/c to start with… very special F40 in history of such Marque…
