Ferrari 365 GT4 BB driven | evo ICONS

[@horsepower523]

The 365 GT4 BB and the 512 BB are both so stunning and amazing machines. That guy who bought this beauty is a very lucky person indeed.

[@RoverWaters]

The 365 BB was the first Ferrari supercar

[@mattthompson9096]

No one will believe me, but my dad owns one of the 387 units ever made of the 365 GT4 BB. His is a 1975 and spent some time in Japan before he purchased in 1980. Glad to see the value going up after he had full restoration done in 2014!

[@ubercooper]

Was not expecting to see this on a track. This is fantastic! Thank you EVO!

[@clairebannister4749]

I'm so glad you managed to find one of these. A more raucous uncivilised version of the later 512BB - I remember seeing a road test for this at the time and loving the little pull down sunvisors! It was the bogs dollocks at the time. I was later lucky enough to own a carb 308GTB - can't believe how stupid I was to sell it. The crackle from those carbs with the drivers' window cranked a couple of inches was sublime (Rhd version)

[@kook4u]

This car is so mechanical. What a wonderful era of Ferraris.

[@Arayig1982]

Cars tend to be machines, yes.

[@mattthompson9096]

My pops bought one in 1980 and it's still the best sounding car I've ever heard.

Henry, I LOVE your Omega Speedmaster on that nato, just oozes class, and I'd expect nothing less from you sir!

[@LuisCardoso-bo8yx]

Also noticed it! Great choice!

[@EliteRock]

I was quite taken by the Countach as a teenager, but later realised that I was rather gauche (and so, dare I say it, was the Countach). The BB is a far better-looking car, and a more timeless, classic design.

[@MrMister1227]

I love how they keep these cars looking out the showroom, id take these old mint cars over any new one!

[@ianmason2003]

+MrMister1227 You better have a ton of money for maintenance. Ferrari didn't really get the whole "reliability" thing until Honda showed the world a supercar didn't need to be fickle.

I’ll give any car the benefit of the doubt, but there’s a difference between a car looking good and a car being mechanically as pristine.

[@paullytle1904]

I read your comment before I watched the clip🤣. You’re right lolm

[@karlmilton6688]

I am not normally a nostalgist but the boxer is still my favourite car , it is totally outclassed by modern Ferraris but , for me it retains that indefinable something that has lasted with me these many years , the harsh bark of the flat twelve , the side profile and the rear end view all have lasted as a desirable enticement to buyers of classic Ferraris and this car is indeed a great classic.

[@scottieray]

Good commentary on the high-profile tires. Plus, those tires just look RIGHT on these cars. The suspension would not cope with low-profile tires. I know you lose some accuracy in steering with high-profile tires, but I just put a set on my MINI Cooper S and it really works for the car. But my MINI is a bulldog compared to that 365 GT4 BB.....beautiful car.

[@XaviSpit]

OMG... What a car; one of my favourites Cavallino.

[@mro9466]

That shaking in the steering wheel :p

[@LogiForce86]

+M RO Yeah, this Ferrari needs some work for sure. 1. Straightening of all rims to remove vibration in the steeringwheel and butt. 2. Rebalance the wheels after straightening. 3. Do a proper wheel alignment and re-center the steering wheel. Also something about that exhaust note bugs me. Especially during the cold start it sounded a bit weird.

[@yiorgospapadopoulos3795]

Great review!!!!!! Did anyone else noticed Henry's hand vibrating while holding the steering wheel? I really wonder how it is to drive a car like this...

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

+Γιώργος Παπαδόπουλος Wheel balancing or wheel issue perhaps..

[@moonkef]

I love the special journalist seatbelt 0:26

[@th3b0untyhunter]

great video & an amazing car love the italian spec indicators - much more modern than the big orange panels in most of the BB's

[@ernodios]

It's funny how I bought this Ferrari and a Lamborghini Countach in Gran Turismo 6 the day before this video was released. I had dreamt of those cars

[@ernodios]

and I mean actually dreaming, while sleeping

[@timgosling6189]

Henry is lucky that the car he got to drive has a big steering wheel spacer fitted. This gives a much better chance of achieving a comfortable driving position. The standard wheel is so close to the top of the instrument cowl that the leather there is often covered in nicks from fingernails! What a pure shape these cars were though. Lovely!

[@grarehikes]

As a fairly tall chap, I appreciate Henry’s vids as for one thing, I never need to ask myself the question “great car, but would I fit?”. He’s 6ft 5

[@Josue0322]

loved it! Had to google the difference between boxer amd flat. grat job!

[@luigicornelio7510]

BB actually stands for Berlinetta Bialbero (twin cam), I'm sure Ferrari knew the difference between a boxer and a flat engine.

[@RoverWaters]

Owners manual contradicts you 😉😉 it stands for berlinetta boxer

[@ClaytonMacleod]

Could hear every word that time! YAY! Thank you! Also, really enjoyed the video, too, so thanks for that as well!

[@charlieajaib2339]

[@moego3385]

So in 1973-1974 Ferrari offered the 365 GT4 BB, the Dino 246 GT, and the "Daytona" (along with the more obscure 365 GT4 2+2)! My God, what a lineup!

A Flat 12 in a mid-engine small car like that, about the length of a Ford Focus. Can it get any better than this? Not even mentionning the looks.

[@Mr18000rpm]

Ferrari 365GT4 BB's were sold in Canada but not in the USA. I remember seeing the first one in the showroom of Yonge-Steeles Motors. It was white with predominantly red seats. The price was $41,000 Cdn!

[@FieldTestedSemenKun]

I think I stopped caring about Ferraris when the F40 ended its run... Classic Ferraris are amazing

[@twentysheds___5967]

"Done less than 9000km" my arse. Jay Leno is right in the reasons he gives for not owning a Ferrari.

[@truantray]

It is a strange behavior of Ferrari owners, on average they drive 1000km a year or less and keep the cars under 2 years. Small wonder the motors were designed for major service every few years.

[@cdb5001]

Great review by Mr Catchpole. Isn't it odd the more "advanced" new cars get,the more car nuts long for the cars of yesterday. That "it" factor's been designed out of them now.

[@paulw.9669]

Most modern sports cars look more like advanced kitchen appliances than anything else, with their over-abundance of ugly, geometric, details breaking up the lines of the car. The BB, and the Lamborghini Miura, that it was a response to, are just svelte with the barest of design details that complement the look of the cars rather than distract from them.

[@Loozas92]

i love the exhuast pipes ont the 365gt4 bb. like 6 machine gun abrrels sticking out the back

[@ganoostermoppy4325]

The 'count-ash', because so many burnt out!

[@michaelduncan79]

I have loved these cars since day one. Still a trully magnificent looking car.

[@rollotomassi4815]

Hate to say this Mr. Catchpole but the Ferrari 250 LM (which should have been called the 275 LM) was the first mid-engined road car Ferrari made.

[@Maurice_Moss]

That was a racing car though, I know some where homoligated for the road aswell. But the 365 was designed as a road car, I think that was the point he was making.

[@gentnextdoor]

Errr The ‘LM’ stand for LeMans which errrr means it was a race car. Not your finest moment Rollo

[@paulthorpe766]

Nice review Henry - should have bought my mates one in 93 for £65k Doh!!!....normally I don't give a chuff about colour but this should be returned to Giallo.... as the most beguiling factors of a 512BB is the two tone nature of the car eg colour on 2/3 of top of car and black lower third - in black/ black the rear of the car looks undernourished!!

[@veereshsangolliV12]

what a lovely lovely noise!

[@Kneedragon1962]

I believe those early BB cars were quite lovely to drive at medium speed, but they became a bit of a handful if you tried to push them. As mentioned, the engine was on top of the gearbox, which was not ideal, and like the Countach, manufacturers hadn't quite worked out what the suspension and alignment settings should be yet... Correct 'normal' front engine dynamics was pretty well understood, but getting a mid engine to work right was a bit of a new thing...

[@papa_pt]

Yeah it's weird since mid engined cars dominated the racing scene and they must have figured out the handling over there

[@bo2web]

[@Sleepy.Time.]

back when sports cars where unique and different from each other

[@v_alexiadis]

Ha, I had no idea this Ferrari existed. Initially I thought it was the 512 and I found those two extra tail lights and exhaust pipes very odd.

[@damieg82]

+ianiva I'm right there with you, never knew this existed. Talk about an automotive unicorn. Any idea what the differences between a 180 degree V engine and a boxer engine are? I know BB always stood for Berlinetta Boxer so i just assumed it was a boxer engine, but he made sure to say it's not one but rather a 180 (flat) V12

[@TwskiTV]

+damieg82 goo.gl/75L1VJ Left: 180º V6 (flat-6); Right: 6-cyl Boxer

[@styx85]

+damieg82 Basically in a boxer engine each pair of pistons operate "in phase", so the opposing cylinders ignite simultaneously. In a 180° V engine each pair of pistons share a crankpin, so they fire "out of phase" with each other (when one goes up, the other goes down).

[@ffcracker]

Same here

[@HenryDavidFloyd]

+damieg82 Boxer has every single piston with its own connection to the crankshaft, in an alternate fashion, meaning opposing cylinders fire simultaneously, "boxing" each other like fists. 180 degree V, each pair of opposing pistons shares a single connection to the crankshaft, so they are always moving in opposite directions, not "boxing" each other.

[@anonharingenamn]

What about the Ferrari 250 LM?

[@fiors73]

BB stands not for Berlinetta Boxer (neither for Brigitte Bardot). BB stands for Berlinetta Bialbero (see Mauro Forghieri in Davide Cironi interview).

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

The magic of old Ferraris: To me they lost it somewhere during the 1980s or 1990s. Probably the death of Enzo Ferrari and the arrival of electronics played a role in that.

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

[@Aristocrafied]

[@armatian]

Being low and having low cg, while simultaneously having tall tires and healthy clearance means its more capable and enjoyable around most roads where comparable hp/lb modern cars will make you sweat.

[@johnvaclik1094]

the boxer vs 180 degrees V engine topic at 3:13 I do not understand.

[@RoverWaters]

a 180 degree V engine does not exist only 180 degree flat engine 😉😉

[@truantray]

The reasons why the car never sold in the US had nothing to do with Enzo. FIAT was running the road car division with zero input from EF from 1970. The marketing connection of this car was to the 312 F1 motor, and no one in the US cared about F1 in the 70s.

[@BubbaSmurft]

@@claudiomarangone614 Heyya Claudio, thanks but I'm sure we all know that wing, as in wing mirror is a fender. BTW, sayin' British English is the same as saying 930 turbo (911 turbo turbo), it's redundant as they invented it. 'yank English as a descriptor is good though 'cause that tells us it's not real English. What I was sayin' is that they called them wing mirrors yet there were no mirrors on their wings.

Yes

[@vnitto]

In my opinion that thing looks like the odometer has been rolled back, look at the wear on the pedals, especially the accelerator. Way more than 9000km of wear.

[@cjones7854]

If just the accelerator is worn than it could be from the owner starting up the car and revving it few times once a week or something. That would keep the car running without putting miles on it. I would guess you're right if the brake pedal shows wear though.

[@altern8ive]

www.google.co.uk/search?q=What's+the+difference+between+a+boxer+and+180+degree+V+engine

[@KiberneticTiger]

Shape. Boxer is as the name suggests basically a square box while a V is obviously in the shape of the letter 'V'. 180 just means its rotated

[@inkno701]

altern8ive Thanks haha! So all it means is boxer engines have a separate crank journal for each piston versus flat V have two pistons per crank journal.

[@inkno701]

CyberTigerCro You should read altern8ive's link

[@HenryDavidFloyd]

+CyberTigerCro Nope, you actually got it completely wrong. 180 degree V engines are shaped exactly like boxers, with all of the cylinders lying flat (180 degrees apart from each other). The difference is more technical: a boxer has every single piston with its own connection to the crankshaft, in an alternate fashion, meaning opposing cylinders fire simultaneously, "boxing" each other like fists. 180 degree V, each pair of opposing pistons shares a single connection to the crankshaft, so they are always moving in opposite directions, not "boxing" each other.

[@paulelverstone8677]

Glorious. Through the years and through various models I think that bodyline, from nose and over the front wing up to the B pillar and to the tail is one of the loveliest lines in automotive history. Lets just say that the 348 was something of a disappointment...

[@austinmoore4358]

But can he drive 55?

[@trisbuckley409]

With the Dino being a six cylinder and V8 coming down the line, the switch to a liter and engine number nomenclature makes perfect sense. 512 is a five liter 12. 246 is a 2.4 liter 6. Makes perfect sense Henry :) Also, in the real world, not what journalists said, the 512 is a better car than the 365 as one would expect from a car that has evolved from the 365 much like a 355 is better than the 348.

It is numbered 31 out of a batch of 71 (R) hand cars that were produced. The former U.K. owner had this Testarossa a Garage "show queen."

[@3Storms]

It's called a mid-engine car but it's not. Lift up the hood and see for yourself. It's sitting right on the real wheels n the back 1/3 of the car's length. It's so far back in the overall length of the car that they had to extend the front end to balance it out so it doesn't handle weird.
