Ferrari F40 LM

A Ferrari F40 LM being driven by former F1 driver Jacques Lafitte.
Turn up your volume and enjoy.

[@SrFairladyZ]

This is the best car video on all of the internet. The sound, the rawness of the suspension and grip, watching Jacques getting jarred around, and the way he pulls through the Turbo MEAT in those gears. Best ever, no doubt.

[@toddfrendell6837]

Yes, great in-car camera perspective shows him floating above and sinking into the seat...

[@zak4477]

I have been watching this video atleast once a week for 4 years... nothing will ever compare to the sounds this f40 produces.

[@OizO87]

nothing...

Zonda is nice, but it's no f40...

[@ES90344]

I still cannot get over how perfect that gear shift at 1:25 is. Probably one of the most perfect shifts in human history.

[@ognjentopic5631]

He basically paddle shifted 'er

One of the great drivers of alltime but completely annihilated by Keke Rosberg in 83 & 84 seasons as Williams teammates. Such is life but then again I'm finnish.

We don't need no pussy shift, just real drivers! #ManualOrDie

[@Finooo14]

It seems like a automatic dualclutch shift

[@jdahl1979]

14 years later and still the best car video. Gives me chills imagining myself driving and hearing it in person.

2:02 -- the greatest, most brutal and coolest unsynchronized downshift in human history! Does anyone else noticed how awesome this is 🤯

[@MrBlitskrieg]

F40 Lm , is the ultímate driver's car in my opinion.... And what a pleasure to see an former f1 pilot to take a run, driving like you should , the sound, the raw of the car , no assistance , no stability control , you are on just the feeling of the car and what is doing , and thats what driving is all About , i watch this video once a week at least

[@ninjafalco]

This is one of my favorite videos on KZbin. This car is so scary awesome!!!

[@MidniteLiquid]

The F40's did have straight-cut gears. They transmissions also featured dog engagement rings and they were unsynchronized, meaning that the drivers had to manually synchronize the gear changes by "double-clutching". Removing the synchronizers, using straight-cut gears, and utilizing dog engagement rings serves to strengthen the transmission allowing it to operate longer in the brutal conditions of endurance races; the purpose for which the car was built.

[@patrickmette7411]

[@Audi200quattro20v]

i saw this video 10 years ago....and now again....and it is still mindblowing! what a sound! ooooo my god, just want to drive the car in a sim race...i remember there was a mod in rfactor with incredible sound

[@Megistus13]

This video Literally brings joy to me. We need to keep manuals! Sure, SAT's might give us faster times around the track, but it's not about that! I'ts about the joy and thrill of the drive! Also when you take manual out of the equation, it also removes some of the skill..

[@Sam-kq6be]

Alot of the skill is removed

That sound...That gear shift at 1.24...

[@Jumbomasters]

omg i could listen to that sound rest of my life, simply beatiful!

[@davdaking]

how could you not like this? Best sounding engine I've ever heard

[@Juanknes]

I watched this on TV years before, when i lived in France, i was just a little kid, but i remember this sound, it was unforgettable. Obviously my father was recording it on the VCR ;-) . Great memories! Thanks for upload this!

[@Akatsuki2]

I cried during this.. angel's song...

[@ManualEnthusiasts]

Still sends chills down my spine and gives me goosebumps whenever I watch it. It must have been an absolutely spectacular experience for Lafitte to pilot this amazing machine. I can only hope one day to drive one of the 'lesser' Ferrari models myself, as I will never get the chance to be behind the wheel of the Legandary F40 LM.

[@XunoHa]

those downshifts at 2:03 though...

[@zak4477]

I'm so glad some people still appreciate a good down shift. I mean flawless downshift.

[@Skywalker079]

The greatest car video in entire internet and the best car ever built.

[@soundfx68]

Having watched this a few years ago, I have just spent about 3 hours trying to find it again! ...There is a lot of 'Ferrari' footage on KZbin. But this is my fave. THE SOUND.

[@CPT_SCORCH]

Beautiful noise from the engine and those twin turbos spooling up.

Like to hear the outdoor audio on that run. Thing sounds more like an 80's Formula 1 Turbo. The F40s were, and still are the PINNACLE of Ferrari!

[@keithrjackson]

I am going to listen to it AGAIN, such was my level of enjoyment.

[@monktoncrew]

Watched this a million times and that engine note still makes my hair stand on end.

[@jjlwis]

how many cameras? 6? amazing footage, and the SOUND! it's perfect! even close to 30 years later still the best sound in the world!

[@Swataia]

I love the sound of that engine and how the two turbos runs air to the intake. So beautiful.. :P If I ever had enough money to buy a Ferrari, it will be the F40 : )

This car is seriously quick !! It sounds like the ratio's are too close but the graphic shows otherwise. You can hear the tyres at the limit of their straight line adhesion as he accelerates on the straight's. Very quick. He's not even pushing that hard. Love it :)

[@mrlt1]

This gearbox is a blessing and a curse. A lot of kids of the 80's watched this when it aired in France in 1990 or so, and we do remember it.

Such an incredible car. I'm lucky enough to have seen a real F40, stunning machine.

[@LBC_squared]

every time he puts his foot on the accelerator you can hear the giant LEM turbo's spool up. its amazing. i would also definetly have a f40 instead of a enzo. Idk about a FXX. those are amazing.

bravo jacques tu manies la f40 lm avec brio et sans oubli le double debrayage ca c'est du pilotage et encore bravo et merci

[@Juanknes]

One little note about this drive, because in this video that doesn´t show, when i saw this on TV, before the drive, i remember they take this Ferrari from a museum, directly to the track, so the tuning of the engine is not the best, in this drive, this F40 LM was not correctly tuned for a race. However is still amazing to see!

[@JuergenGDB]

Before I watch forumula One, or other ALMS races.. I will play this video on my computer.... I have speakers throughout the house, and play it continuously for some time... The singing beauty of the Twin Turbo V8 echo beautifully as I prepare myself for a relaxing time of Racing..... This is when the Girlfriend goes shopping...

[@mrlt1]

this has to be one of the best if not best sounding cars ever.

[@electrolove87x]

[@juutuub0]

[@blaydrunner]

Amen. It's still the most DRIVER focused supercar. No BS...no electronic gadgets...no computer nannies...no paddle shift...NO RADIO...no power steering...no traction control...just 478HP pumped into the rear wheels...and a driver with ALOT of balls to drive it really fast!!!! Sexy and light carbon fiber body...on a race tuned chassis and engine. Pure...raw...unadulterated. God Bless the Ferrari F40!! If only I could afford one. =^)

[@theoldatlas]

Im curious that this f40 sounds different to other f40.This sounds like cross plane crankshaft. F40 has flat plane crankshaft, very different sound.

[@blaydrunner]

Nice double clutching!!! I'd LOVE to see a camera mounted in the footwell!!!

[@omgshad0w]

One word....GOOSEBUMPS!

[@joshua626]

This is in my top 5 ferrari's. The last one to be signed off on by the ole man and no excuses to beat the opponents on the track with. And did I mention that turbo.

[@Aforeafore]

F40 LM should have around 600hp, but it also depends by the turbo pressure. Anyway...the sound is amazing and the car...oh my God She (not it...) is a masterpiece! Grande Enzo, hai creato creato qualcosa di unico! ORGOGLIO FERRARI!!!

[@FabioDPA]

This car it's just insane!! Beatifull sound Love it

[@cerealpipe]

that is the best engine sound i've ever heard...

[@anthonyrb20]

favourite video of all time

[@Jeroen44]

don't forget this is not a regular F40, LM version goes 228 mph (367 kmh), and has 700 hp. if they made the Veyron in the 80s, it wouldn't even come close to this. plus, the F40 LM is a racing car, so the handling should also be great, in comparison to the big fat Veyron.

[@platini450]

the best ferrari ever...

[@KRBISSONNETTE]

That is what a real supercar should be like. Absolutely no electronic aids, H-pattern gearbox, racing harnesses, no radio or any unnecessary things. Just pure driving fun. I'd take this car anyday over the more modern supercars.
