The production quality of this - the cinematography, the voiceover, the background score - is INSANE!!! What a beautiful car and what a beautiful video.

[@keithjackson4985]

Agreed.

Yes sir ,so much work goes into these vids there like small hollywood productions ,camera angles ,pan shots ,music score and well presented by henry ...great stuff

[@JonnySantoroRS]

Absolutely epic video, the music, the soundtrack, the car, Henry voice, that's just PERFECTION. True petrolhead, true car lovers, have to share this Passion. What an underestimated channel this is..... Thumbs up for Henry Catchpole!

I agree! These videos have unique atmosphere what makes them so great.

[@alexlosy5]

I could watch your videos ALL. DAY. LONG. Production is next level and as for Henry - a voice I could listen to for days.

[@simonmurfin1910]

Paddle shifters clicked with me when I spent a day at the Jonathan Palmer motorsport day. Quite a few of the track cars had paddle shifters and on track they worked so well and with my years of motorbike experience I took to the sequential nature immediately. A day driving Radicals also showed how good they can be when pressing on

[@sutats]

I love the wail of a spirited Ferrari going through the woods in the morning.

[@mspooner22]

The Gilles Villeneuve story was fascinating I had no idea about that. As a Canadian too even cooler knowing how much Enzo trusted his opinion.

[@ThePilotGear]

same here!

[@neildavies43]

I'd heard a variation on that story: that Gilles had found the gearbox too easy to use. He felt it eroded the skill of driving and, if everybody had it, it would have reduced the advantage his skills gave him over his other competitors.

[@BrightsideMedia]

Does anyone else think it's funny how the term 'flappy paddles' caught on so well?

[@pistonburner6448]

More like tragic. None of the SHIFT PADDLES I've used have ever been flappy. If they'd be flappy then they'd be impossible to operate or something would be broken. That word describes them so poorly overall, I've never thought of my shift work or the functioning of an electro-hydraulically or electrically (?) actuated manual gearbox to be anything like "flappy". They are shift paddles. And the gearbox system is semi-automatic, or automated manual, or nowadays double clutch. Could be actuated by buttons, and most non-gearheads don't even shift themselves but just leave in on automatic, so the paddles themselves don't describe the gearbox itself.

[@DontPanicDear]

@@pistonburner6448 I’m fine with it, as it’s just light hearted vernacular 🤓 There are loads of examples like this though….. “Driving Stick” always makes me wince by the same measure. It’s a manual gear lever, and a manual gearbox. Nobody is driving stick 🙄

[@psalmco2425]

I'm not sure but wasn't it Clarkson who first called them that? Or did he just popularise the use of the term?

[@DontPanicDear]

@@psalmco2425 I think it was him yes 👍🏻

[@pistonburner6448]

@@psalmco2425 I'm pretty sure that's correct. And it's typical of Clarkson.

[@shogun2215]

Shame this car sounds boring as hell.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Can't lie, I don't enjoy this sound. I'd be happy if it was electric. It sounds like its being choked to within an inch of it's life. Just put it out of it's misery already, the only decent sounding turbo V8 of this gen was the Pista. The rest don't do it for me tbh.

The paddle shifting introduction made the hairs of my arms stand up! Beautiful cinematography and editing, though we've come to expect nothing less from Carfection! Thank you God for this wonderful channel, Henry and all those involved.

[@tonkaturbodiesel]

The people/teams that spent countless hours and lost sleep at night on those paddles, the switch mechanism, the programming, the positioning and integration etc will no doubt put this video on their resume and Harry as a referee. Well done to those normally unsung legends. 1% makes a difference if every one of the 100 required are done as well as each other

Henry Catchpole is the most eloquently spoken automobile presenter I've ever seen. Always professional & knowledgeable. i love his reviews.

[@johnsim3722]

Mansell the first to use paddle shift in F1? I didn't even know that, and I thought I was pretty informed with F1. Great video once again, the very best of all on KZbin and TV.

[@urock12201]

These videos are just mesmerizing. Beautiful words, cinematography, cars, noise, scenery. It's all there in spades. Absolutely top work as usual, guys!

[@cglphotographyni4826]

Cinematography, presentation and personality. Just brilliant! One of the most underrated car channels on youtube.

[@Saif0412]

The Ferrari Dual clutch, BMW M DCT and Porsches PDK are the best paddleshifts, fastest gearboxes available 👌 Even like the WOT savage shifts from the single clutch transmissions, 😬 Great video Carfection,

[@GrotrianSeiler]

So many years in, and I’m still on the fence about these paddle shifters. But there is no question Henry is one of my favorite editors, wonderful sarcasm and all. Perfect.

[@DontPanicDear]

I’m the same. I find them great driven flat out. Also when driving dead slow, or in traffic. Everything else in between (95% of my driving) they are less good, often annoying and get boring quite quickly 🤓

[@_audacerider3838]

You guys are reaching new levels of excellence with Ur content!! Hats off to the whole team involved!!

[@michaelhughes3302]

I'm a manual guy thru and thru. I take pride in having earned my license in a manual car. Something of a rarity even in 1989 North America. Recently, I heard a new BMW chase itself up the road, a dual clutch box. And I was absolutely amazed at how fast that monster went through the gears. Click, click... Click. And away it went!

[@tamasszabo8824]

New BMWs have gone from DCTs to torque-converter automatics.

[@ABthatMan_]

One of the best cars ever!

[@memememine1]

If you want the engagement of playing with your drivetrain and engine get a manual. If you care most of all about getting your car to perfectly enter and exit the corner it is so much more fun to drive a paddle shift for all the reasons Henry mentioned. For how fast even slower cars are a manual is simply far too slow. The ability to do a flurry of downshifts while left foot braking and with the car loaded perfectly entering a corner is a conpeltey unique and incredible experience. Also with modern manuals stupid long gears it is more rewarding to accelerate with tightly spaced automatic gears.

[@4g5y]

Absolutely amazing! Need 4K streaming to do justice to this piece. And Ferrari paddle shifts? Just as gorgeous!!

[@casey2732]

I was privileged to drive 458 and it was epic... Gear shifts were incredible

[@R8andGT3Fan]

I'm a manual fan, but watching recent videos of the 992 GT3 and Huracán STO (both NA marvels) made some kind of "click" on me...this video reinforces that.

[@mrp887]

The videography is award winning , Very much enjoyed watching Thank you x

[@So_Much_Juice_12]

Went from a PDK Cayman S to a manual Spyder... And many times I miss my old one. They aren't better or worse. Just different.

[@bpowick]

Anyone else find it incredible that we actually got a review about a whole car simply by Henry talking about it’s gearbox?

[@g1598]

[@idin1976]

[@abmonkey33]

Its odd isn't it. Some people arrive here by accident but the majority are here because we're bonafide car / driving enthusiasts. The odd thing is though, I'd give up the driving seat just to have Henry chauffeur me around the British Isles in a variety of top sports cars whilst he narrates our travels with his knowledge about cars and all the while knowing I'm safely wrapped in his driving skill. Carfection, what a great channel. 👍🏻🚙. Keep it up guys n gals.

[@sjon996]

Carfection is my daily dose of history combined with a great host and beautiful scenery.

[@obsidian....]

2:55 That's so true... Worrying about 💰 shifting your car, in an attempt to get more engine breaking, is very prevalent with a manual (mainly due to when you have the time to accomplish the downshift). That's not saying it's better, but some times an automatic just fit certain situations better

[@paulredding5864]

Totally. Been saying the same for years, who needs a gear lever. The 2003 RS6 I had, with the stick in manual it would hold the gears until you changed them on the paddles, brilliant for entering corners with balance

Agree. It’s incredible. The only thing lacking in the F8 is the sound. I own one and then sold the f12 because it seemed slow, bulky and high off the ground. Also selling Portofino because it is so far behind F8 performance. Wonder what 296 will feel like with 60% more Rigid frame. Please review that car ASAP. Thanks for all the hard work. Really value your comments.

[@pirdah1336]

Can you kindly comment on why Ferrari is sticking with an aluminum body and not carbon fiber like Mcclaren. Short of reliability which is a big deal mcclaren chassis and hydronic steering are amazing. Best in class.
