Flying To AUSTRALIA To Drive A FERRARI SF90!

[@adam69_]

Sam, I just want to say how much I appreciate you. I have fallen out of love with most of the car guys here on yt, because their content today looks like a massive business operation with very little passion. But you man, you have made such a massive progress since the 4C days. Every video is an adventure, doesn’t matter if you shoot it in London or halfway across the globe. I can feel all the emotions and excitement a car gives through you. Can’t wait for your GT3 videos. Really man, you absolutely kick ass when so many others fall short. Love the channel, love the podcast. I hope you’ll never lose this passion. Stay awesome and enjoy your time in Australia.

And the more common London to Sydney (or vice versa) is at least 21 hours + a two hour stop-over! Still beats sailing in a wooden boat with small-pox for 9 months though.

[@TechInTheCar]

It’s great that there is a direct flight from the U.K. to Perth on Qantas but choosing Qatar via Doha isn’t a bad choice. Qatar are excellent. However Sam could have flown business class if he took it from Europe for less and took a short flight across as U.K. airport taxes make it cheaper to fly business from Europe than economy from London. That’s my travel tip.

[@jd32k]

Flights are the best . The longer the better. They're like mini holidays on your way to your holiday

I'm not particularly into cars so no idea why I'm seeing your video but you seem like a cool guy and it's definitely a pleasant surprise to see a KZbinr who goes to Australia go to Perth and WA in general, usually they go to the other side of the country so it was really cool seeing someone look around the city I was born in and spent a large part of my life and enjoying it so much, also kind of weird recognising the background for once lol No idea what your talking about most of the time with the cars BC as I said, I don't really know anything about them, but good to see you having fun even if I don't understand it lol, have fun in Oz mate (:

Viola Hong Kong seems to suit modern Ferraris really well. There's an 812 Comp in Viola Hong Kong with Giallo Modena accents which was recently delivered to Delhi, India. What a gorgeous spec. The damn paint supposedly costs as much as a highly specced BMW M4! Also, coincidentally a friend's uncle has a 488 Pista specced similar to that 812 GTS. The only difference being his Azzurro La Plata in matte from factory. Looks gorgeous under the sun. It's supposedly the only Pista in the world to have that spec.

If you are buying an sf90 it’s basically a daily driver well an extremely expensive one. But like you said the 458s and 812s are much better drivers and more usable in terms of on road speeds. The sf90 makes sense if you can afford to use it kind of as a daily as shmee does, that said I would rather have a 296 still hybrid and dailyable but a little less to worry about.

[@pauln0371]

The SF90 upgrade is coming later this year and I believe they have addressed some of the issues that owners are complaining about. P.S it'll have even more power to boot from a bigger battery. No doubt it'll be using all 3 motors at full chat rather than just the rear motor on the current car..

[@jameswillard1]

It’s realistically not going to address the issues that owners have as it will be an even faster and even less usable version

@@blueman5924 in the US as well. My local Ferrari dealer told me that apparently many of the owners (much like Sam in the video) find the car to be a virtual land jet but not the type of car that engages the driver but unlike many Ferrari models it does not have exceptional resale as a result of the number of used ones available and that they have taken many in for under original MSRP, which isn’t something mant Ferrari owners are used to experiencing……losing money that quickly 😳

I think the SF90 as a platform will make sense when the “speciale” version comes out. Monstrous power but tightened up and turned into a track weapon. They should make it a track toy like the 992 gt3rs to the extent that on the road it’s bad because it’s not its environment. The current SF90 is already overkill on the road yet it’s not the best option on track because it’s not the “speciale”.
