That’s not true about Enzo wanting V12’s. Hagerty just did a piece on this.

[@user-in7hz1nu8l]

In my opinion Hagerty is the best of the best

[@HyperbolicMind]

Let's see your 296 GTS review then

[@mufflejoy]

It is simply not accurate that Ferrari only wanted V12 engines and that was why Dino was created. A BBC program should get their history lessons in order.

[@blademanx]

BBC??? This is channel 5. German owned!

[@316CactusJack]

No plato no party

[@Photoandcargeek]

And once more this fake story of Dino the cheaper brand with an engine that didn't deserve to be in a Ferrari... Dino was created in honour of his son (nicknamed Dino) who died prematurely and his father. It was not to go down market. Enzo repeatedly mentioned how the death of his beloved son changed his life.

I miss Vicki😕

[@borregoayudando1481]

VBH isnt on 5th gear anymore? her and Tiff emote "i drool for cars" so well, those were the days with that duo

[@zingystardust4082]

Same here, I miss the sheer joy she displayed and the sense of fun while driving. You knew she loved what she was doing. She does have her own YT channel, The Car Girl. Long live VB-H.

[@itsomarz9337]

We want vicky plz

[@alhemmings8554]

Wide like most boxer formats? A boxer is horizontally opposed by nature, plus this V6's cylinder banks share crank pins. A boxer it is not. It is a 120° V6. Vicki, Tiff or Jason would not have overlooked this.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

It's a crackingly gorgeous looking motor. But probably just outside my budget. _But only by a mere £275+ thousand depending on extras!_

[@MarcSob22]

Really love the 296!! Amazing gorgeous machine!!

[@Athithan_2000]

I don’t think he would be proud, I think he would be furious that Ferrari has to change to please everyone!

[@AqueleDoHonda]

Wow that Ferrari sound is amazing ... Here in brazil ive only saw 3 Ferrari 2 458 yellow and a 350 . one of the 458 was in the highway and I was going leave him to dust with my 2000 Civic lx non vtec. But i didn't wanted to shame him 😅

[@senseicorey9979]

You're a nice guy!

[@baoquoc3710]

just a nice question, how much horsepower you are outputting now?

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

Definitely growing on me this car, but it needs a straight pipe and a 50% discount :)

and the removal of the EV shit part.

[@roberthiggins6401]

Why does the sound need to be piped into the cabin? I cannot understand the reason car manufacturers do this with cars because of a car sounds good you'll hear it, if it has to go through a speaker system it's going to be altered.

[@vokstar]

Noise restrictions outside of the car is part of it.

[@user-io4sr7vg1v]

There is some compromise but this is a more natural way of transmitting sound as opposed to via speakers.

[@malthus101]

Ugh, are they doing that on this car? It just went from bad to worse!

[@ifredtandy]

The content is great, but the video quality is very poor.

[@johnfrench7452]

All this review seems to say is "Ferrari expensive compared to other cars. Also complex and different." So along with the factual errors about the lineage, a bit disappointing.

[@XennialGuy]

Curvaceous, beautiful accents, a real looker. ...and the car is not bad either.

[@f.ludovico3105]

Why didn't they let Vicki review it? She's a far better driver than Grace, who clearly wasn't even trying to push the car to the limit.

[@patrickdgarez86]

Maybe we should give Grace a chance, no? Not sure if you are aware but she is a bike racer and, as far as I can tell, this is the first time Fifth Gear has thrown her the keys to the likes of a Ferrari. I am willing to allow her some time to evolve in this role. Vicky has been handling cars at this level for 2 decades. I doubt that her early career was full of oversteers etc on a 250K pound machine. The new generation is upon us, allow them a little room to grow.

[@danmayberry1185]

Auto journalists do what they're allowed, and Ferrari would be pretty heavy handed.

[@f.ludovico3105]

@@danmayberry1185 I bet if Vicki, Jason, Sid, or Karun was driving that car, the rear tyres would’ve been smoking all the time.

[@AB-80X]

Push that car to the limit? Really? That car is absolutely insanely fast.

[@falconflockfoundation3348]

where are Nike NBC and the other sponsors, they will lose business with this decision. America adores Catlin Clark and we demand she be part of the Olympic team 🇺🇸

[@villagesautodetail]

There was a car? ❤

[@timmietz]

Wait, where is Vicki!!??

[@vokstar]

What a mind boggling bad review this is.

[@ziggyjinx]

Not as good looking as the 458

[@senseicorey9979]

I'm not sure any car ever has or will look that good again.

[@AB-80X]

458 looks dated by now. The 296 is a nice fresh car to look at. The 458 was simply too "clean".

[@constantinnicolae9850]

Exhaust sound is edited.

[@gentnextdoor]

Wrong about the Enzo story and Ferrari won LeMan 8 weeks ago. Otherwise decent review

[@seinsmeld13]

Great review. Thanks.🥶

[@nielsdorhout058]

Where did Vicky go?

[@Rusty-GB]

I guess i'll have to wait for a proper review by someone else. One that doesnt spout a number of false stories about Enzo Ferrari , one that shows the car being driven properly and one that doesnt endanger cyclists by overtaking them on a bend. Looks like a good car. Just a very poor review.

[@AB-80X]

Yeah. But seeing that the order books are now closed, there's no point anyway.

[@jgatls]

But the whole V12 and V6 as sub brand just ISN’T true. You’d think they could do a basic bit of research….

Meh, too expensive and niggly but rotating the tyres will be expensive too as the wheels are handed, I prefer the lovely VBH to do the girl testing, although this one is very nice, just not got that VBH squeal.
