Couldn't stop smiling while watching this video. The reason for the 1st gear being in a dog-leg position, is to have the 2nd and 3rd gear on a straight line, as they are the 2 most used gear on a race track. Thanks for the treat guys !

If you grew up in the era these car were produced this car was and still is the quintessential definition of a super car. Especially considering the cars of the day, this car was from a different galaxy. The F40 is an icon..the holy grail.

The reason that the F40 logo on the rear wing is on one side only is that Enzo Ferrari didn't want to see that logo going backwards as the car drove forwards. A stunning machine and beautifully proportioned work of automotive art. Happy New Year, chaps.

I've only seen one in person once, and oh what an experience it was! I was in the US before the release and driving on a major interstate not far outside of the New York Metropolitan area. There I was in my crappy rental car and this basically debaged Ferrari (latter identified as the F40) rolled by at modest speed. I was so memorized at the time I had to get a closer look. The driver realized I was attempting to sneak up on him and not simply pass. I turned to my right and looked him directly in the eye to wave and he disappeared with a down-shift and astronomical scream from high revs. I was satisfied from the brief glance I got that day. To top things off the driver looked really familiar and I just could not shake that. After a couple of weeks I realized that he looked like Enzo Ferrari. The internet was a space age fantasy at that time and I needed to round up as many photos of him that I could find in my collection of auto magazines. When I looked at one photo of him wearing what appeared to be those same dark glasses and matching overcoat the driver had I couldn't believe it. It must of been him taking this incredible machine out for a solo drive to enjoy. If it wasn't him I will still cherish the first glimpse of something that spectacular when most automobiles where incredibly boring and pathetic.

Absolutely stunning even after 3+ decades later. My all time favorite Ferrari!

[@marcuscopley6929]

Special special car for anyone born in late 60s to late 70s. I was fortunate to follow one around Loughborough and surrounding country side in late 89 for about an hr in my Newly acquired first car (1986 VW Scirocco GTS 1800) .The F40 was an incredible stunning car to follow huge rear tyres, wing, engine cover, exhausts and very red. once in a while I would hear this howl moments later it would disappear up the road rapidly, As any self respecting 17 year old car nut ,I used the force to keep up,the narrow winding country lanes helped my cause tremendously I felt like Jean Alesi for an hr. God knows what the guy driving it felt like,I suspect euphoria and bewilderment. Probably the most iconic Ferrari for our generation. Really enjoyed this vid and your channel this year .Happy and prosperous new year CGs

I know this is an old video but I had to comment , I like most of my age utterly love the F40 and I have a memory of when it was introduced , I went into my local Newspaper shop in 1987 during dinnertime at work , I was 17 , I saw it on the front cover of a magazine and I honestly don't remember which one it was , in the cellophane packet of the magazine was a cassette tape and it was of the test drive of the F40 , this was obviously way before the internet , I listened to it when I got home and it blew me away , the sounds of the car , the sheer excitement of the test driver describing his jaunt in it , the absolute thrill in his voice , I'll never forget it. Absolutely brilliant , Thank you for the video on this EPIC car.

Great job guys! Well worth your troubles likely the most insightful F40 video I've seen - definitely the funniest! I was a lad of about 20 when it came out, a favorite then/now & this just gave me a BOOST why! So much character quirks be damned. How to most effectively exit the car on hands sounds about right had me in stitches, & did you see that F40 exclusive wing shadow as Jason launched out on the Rd for his stint at the wheel???!!! Nothing else equals the F40. I got my sensory overload fill on my bday in '16 at the Daytona Ferrari Mondiali event where no less than 3 were for up-close viewing, plus (2) 288 GTO's & even the super rare 288 GTO EVO. Never thought I'd get so excited watching a car fire up as when they moved them to their "sleeping qtrs. I was a kid again! Hope you guys been able to attend one it was NUTS. Cheers!

Been waiting for this car to be covered! Iconic. I think I had the same posters as Jason in my younger years although the 288 poster was my favourite. My first F40 I saw was in 1991 and still remember the plate F40 WON ! How cool. You talk about the 0-60 but you have to remember your using a gated gear stick and manual clutch. With the mod cons of today how much quicker would / could it actually be?? Congrats on 20k subs but for you guys I suspect this will be just the tip of the iceberg

[@E92M3Guy]

Just epic and iconic in every way possible. My earliest memory of that car was seeing Nick Masons car (F40 NPG) I even remember the number plate i'am that sad , in 1988 at Donnington circuit in the far corner of the spectator car park ,with a huge crowd around it. The passenger footwell was full of empty crushed coke cans and empty packets of crisps scattered everywhere like a skip, unbelievable !!. Funnily enough I was watching some old jay leno's garage, ferrari episodes yesterday on yet another youtube wormhole , featuring David lee's F40 I did not realise that those IHI turbo's were designed and made in Japan !!! . Top work guys as always. 👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@daniel6323]

Fun fact: Enzo dubbed this car as his greatest achievement. Bear in mind he witnessed the 250 GTO.

[@AB-80X]

But that was at a time when Ferrari was at great turmoil, and at a time when old man Enzo was not at his sharpest. Not taking away from the F40, merely pointing out that what Enzo thought at that time, did not natter all that much. That being said, I still think it's one of the greatest Ferrari ever made.

[@RoverWaters]

Enzo sold the road car factory in 1969 pretty sure he didn't "dubbed this car as his greatest achievement"

[@gianlucapx]

@@RoverWaters The F40 was designed by eng. Nicola Materazzi under explicit request of Enzo Ferrari. He first was asked to design the engine of the 288 GTO. Then he was asked to design (in his spare time, because that couldn't take time to the road or the F1 division) the GTO Evoluzione for racing in group B. Materazzi designed the all car and Pininfarina did the body kit. This had a bad CX and so Materazzi designed a better body kit. When the test drivers tried the car, they were so impressed that Enzo Ferrari decided to make a road car of it, in limited edition. This final evolution was refined by Pininfarina and became the F40. After this project, Fiat decided to be more involved in the road division and Materazzi decided to leave. Then the 348 was made. So the F40 is the latest car designed and developed under the request and the control of Enzo Ferrari: Fiat had nothing to do with it. I don't know if Ferrari considered this to be his best car, but certainly was his last one.

[@RoverWaters]

@@gianlucapx Enzo had no decision power calm down simp, learn the history, FIAT called all the shots

What a way to end the year. Very good video. I would be surprised to find someone disliking this video. The intro was very good with the music. It would help to improve the video even more to have some slo-mo action whilst you describe some of the features or simply when you pan along the car. I think you should do more feature length videos of special cars, as it allows to deepen more into small details and provide some extra content than the regular ones. I know it’s extra work but the result is just epic. This is better than most car-related tv nowadays. If there was a fire and you have to save one car of your collection, I think this should be the one. It’s an icon. It’s the purest expression of what Ferrari represents.

I used to work at the ENRON building in London back in 1999, everyday one of the managers/workers whatever used his F40 everyday to drive to work. He’d park it right at the entrance of the underground car park, I was working for Pinical at the time installing Cat 5 cables. When I’d get a moment I would go down and look at the car some days, when viewed from the back you can literally see into every part of the car!! The shut lines were awful the paint was faded, I remember the cloth on the red buckets were faded from the sun and all the Perspex windows were cloudy. I bet the owner of this one spent a fortune getting it looking better than new!!

Live this story. I wonder if the ENRON car eventually got impounded/repossessed?

[@stevenwilson5737]

Probably, back then I think it was only worth 120k max, the brokers working there used to get brand new Carreras for bonuses! I also remember a nice red 348 in the car park it was for sale aswell 28k he wanted. Yeah it didn’t end well for ENRON.

[@cstavro]

it's a widow maker. Even pro drivers have a heck of a time controlling it in the rain.

[@emanemanrus5835]

@Chris Stavro light weight, a lot of HPs, RWD, no electronics... I can imagine, like every GT or supercar of her times. 911s were even worst in the same conditions.

[@TNPTVconnect]

The reason why F40 is only indented on the right hand side is because on the right hand side it looks like going forward, on the other side it would have loocked as if F40 was going backwards rather than forward. I think it was Enzo Ferrari himself who decided for that.

[@redspecialist9072]

A lot of F40s have been dynoed and have around 515 bhp

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Excellent news

[@dr.oliebol]

Also, the amount of horsepower is the MINIMUM. Most have around 40 more.

[@Maurice_Moss]

Cool, I also thought the 0-60 was in the late 3 second mark?

[@paull3179]

So much torque it spins the wheels pushing hard even at 40 to 60 mph. That can slow down the 0 to 60 unless the temps are high and the road dry. My tuned S4 spins the wheels too easily and I have to touch accelerator gently and push hard once it going 20 or 30 in cold temps.

I had one of these on my wall as a kid from athina loved this lads 👍🏼👏👏👏

[@mrheisenberg72]

I once had a sierra rs cosworth and tried to race a F40......i lost 😕

[@TheCarGuysTV]

mr Heisenberg 😀😂

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Was it an RS500 with 500bhp? :)

[@mrheisenberg72]

@@MagicAyrtonforever no,a standard 4x4 sapphire

[@verdeboyo]

Great joke!!!!

[@sonicstep]

Hmmn, you'd have stood a much better chance with Guy Martin's tuned Volvo 122S.

[@toivonencresto]

Greatest Car Ever.

[@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

You sold it? 😳 As Luke Skywalker said: NOOOOOOO! 😫

[@Fedotdotdot]

Great job guys. This is a masterpiece !

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thank you v much, D. Tudor

[@beijingbond]

It smokes a little when booted. Is that normal for an F40? Great video, guys :)

[@johanneswarn5488]

beijingbond standard for pretty much all heavily turbocharged cars

[@davecook3840]

All big turbo cars produce fuel smoke on boost. Some more than others.

[@Mike-jz8hr]

I dont know how to explain it, but i felt like i was driving along with u guys in the car. I got sort of carried away specially after a long day here in LA. and suprisingly Ferraris are Not even my first choice!!! Well done.i know too that u guys have sold it already, but still Ferrari needs to sponsor this video.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Mike Thank you for those kind words, Mike 👍

[@robertwilliams-gg1zq]

Merry Christmas Guys. I didn't appreciate the beauty of the F40 in the 80s. It has aged so well and become as thing of aggression and beauty

[@benaantje9365]

pffff this is the coolest car in the history of cars. What a machine and so happy to see that it gets driven and not stored in a garage like many.

[@Anthonyn2]

Such a shame the new owner has it in storage :( Not taxed since Feb 2019

[@alasdairkerr258]

Cars are best shared - between you and with us. Having a Sunday binge through the back catalogue, really enjoyable videos, thanks!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed it
