Swapping My F12 TDF for A Ferrari F40!?

This is the Ferrari F40 a definitive supercar! It was the last road car signed off by Enzo Ferrari himself and it signalled the beginning of the 200mph era for the marque. The F40 is powered by a phenomenal 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine - developing in excess of 478bhp from a car weighing just over 1100kg.
Please give @FerrariSevenoaks a follow on Instagram as a thanks for arranging this amazing car for us!

F40 every single time. Yes, the TDF has a symphonic V12 mated to a incredible gearbox, but the F40 is old school at its absolute best. Four wheels, two seats, a gated manual gearbox, and a glorious Twin Turbo V8. Forever a legend 🤘

[@Ssg-mx7vz]

You need to bring back the Modern Classics series

[@alexanderchadwick5346]

This is more special than the TDF. In a TDF you're driving a Ferrari; in an F40 you're driving an F40.

[@QuickScopingPerk]

Damn perfectly said

[@redchristy]

Touché

[@cobrown308]

Real talk

[@ryand4533]

That feels backwards a TDF is a TDF but the F40 is Ferrari! Ferrari was always about the racing more than the street cars. It is the most Ferrari street car they ever produced. Outside of that you have to be in the FXX program to get the race car experience.

[@Joeblogsvlogs]

Thats a very good way of wording it! Perfectly worded

[@moggis71]

The F 40 of course!!! Iconic like no one else. The ultimate man machine

F40 - just so that one day you can say you owned one. F12tdf - stunning stunning car - but the chances of owning one again if you wanted vs the F40.... ? Do it !

[@dannyh5937]

That F40 is so gorgeous and when I see the F40 and F50 together I want to cry. My childhood was dedicated to cutting out all the pictures I could of those cars from the Dupont Registry.

[@mpicanza4491]

F40. Will you ever get bored of driving it? I know I wouldn’t.

[@BasedHadrian]

Only an F50 or Carrera GT could make the F40 seem boring.

[@andrelima5124]

It might not have the crazy loud V12 soundtrack BUT the F40 is THE Ferrari's ultimate supercar, the way it stances, the wheels, the insanely agressive design for it's time, the driving focused cabin, the unusual turbocharged engine to be fitted in a supercar at the time.....just genius stuff by the maranello people !

[@elmuerko]

YES! I'm sorry, the TDF is epic but the F40 is a different level, it's the poster on the wall of millions of children, it's styling is incredible, timeless, iconic. I've watched 2 minutes of the video but I was typing this before the video started playing. Do it! DO IT!!!

[@welloilbeefhooked4984]

In the other two videos you spent arround 10 min each. In this one 17 min. Thats your answer. Emotion, feeling, sense of ocations, a true legend. If your can aford it, is a must. Great content @mrjww, the best for far¡¡¡¡ greatings from spain¡¡¡

[@focusgreg4136]

Can’t beat that sound of the turbo and definitely a good choice you have made 😎

[@boldst6]

The camera angle from behind you, looking at the road though the eyes of a backseat passenger was fantastic! Thank you for experience

[@MarcSob22]

The best car ever made for sure! Interesting fact, the first 15 or 20 F40 made in 1987 had more than 650hps and less than 1100kg, and has the maximum speed above 370km / h, before passing the transit rules at the time! They say that Ferrari hides this fact not to depreciate the other F40 manufactured later, knowing that these manufactured first are rarer and faster! Great content as always mate!

[@RO5AN]

Source?!

[@bajo8743]

WOW

[@calibri1182]

Not true. There were 650 bhp Ferrari cars before the F40. Those were the prototypes called GTO Evoluzione. Only 5 were built.

[@allsort12]

Thanks for sharing these drives, especially the F40 which was an icon for me growing up in the 80's. Very special ...

[@soliver206]

I sat thru every commercial and didn’t skip anything for you James. That’s how much I love this series. Wish a 288GTO could have been part of the day.

I think James now knows why the F40 is known as the greatest drivers car ever made. There are & will be quicker cars made. But there will never be another car that will be like this again.. F40 every day of the week. Could never get bored of driving a F40 everyday.

[@targaflorio3239]

As the late, great Ferrari F1 driver, Michele Alboreto said “it’s a race car that can be used for the road”. Fantastic video this one. Loving the Ferrari content and your thoughts on driving these.

A tubi exhaust F40 , # Dream !! :)

[@animal355]

As cool and iconic the F40 is, I’d rather own the TDF, it's a lot more usable in the sense of road use and for road trips. The dream would to own both and purely use the F40 for track days. And revving the life out of that V8 Turbo.

F40 is one of the most iconic and coolest cars ever made but, I personally beleive TDF is the greatest car of modern era. You should keep the TDF as its my dream car. Its the all round capability of TDF without any compromises, which facinates me. I hope that you will be able to own the TDF, F40 and Carrera GT at the same time. That would be a dream life. Lot of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

[@johanwejedaldesign]

I seen a few of these on car shows and Ferrari events and such things, but the coolest F40 sighting for me was when one was coming the opposite direction in traffic on normal roads outside of Trollhättan in Sweden, some time in the late 90:ies. And it had Dutch number plates! Imagine driving an F40 from Holland to Sweden and back! What a hero! I was 13 when it was launched and remember the fuzz it made from the car mags at the time, even the weird prototype (the 288 GTO Evoluzione) that proseeded it. Btw, The F40 was my fifth 1:18 scale model, that I got in 1989. I feel SO old now.

[@myselfandeye3884]

That's the car that's on top of my list of favorite cars. This car to me is just perfect.

[@robt8620]

I have owned a XJ220 and driven an F40.. my vote is for the F40, more expensive to buy but a simpler car so probably less expensive to maintain

[@SandyCow]

Proper analogue car, I’m 18 and drive an old mgb, nothing in comparison but has the same dainty non power steering and the same raw throttle response from the twin carbs, I hope one day to have that feeling matched by one of these in such a visceral but obviously far more dramatic way

[@erichakanson7010]

The F40 is of course a motoring icon. A dream for any enthusiasts. Unfortunately we sometimes have to be practical. You'd probably continue to get a lot more use out of the TDF than an F40. Just ask Sam. As beautiful as his legendary blue F40 is, he doesn't seem to use it very often.

James, you drive with your left foot on the brake?! haha Anyway fantastic series, been following all of these videos, loved them!!! Also, F40 anyday :)

[@details78]

Recently heard the F40 engine described by a Ferrari mechanic as just like two turbo charged motorbikes sitting side by side. Small displacement. But light enough and powerful enough to be just outrageous. When I think about the sound of this car now that statement kind of makes sense.

[@marcjudge680]

Iconic cars. 250 gto F40, Enzo and la Ferarri. The rest are fantastic. So do you want to own an Iconic piece of Ferarri history. If you have the opportunity then 💯 absolutely. Unfortunately the roads around Sevenoaks you could not explore the F40. Fantastic mini series of the F40 to the Enzo. Great that Ferarri Sevenoaks has given us the viewing. Push the button on the F40 . Bravo James 👏

So which one would you have James, money no object?

F40 or TDF, what a question, that’s a video you need to make James having experienced them both. Us mere mortals can only base our decision on their looks and what we’ve heard about them.

Totally agree about the sound of the turbo charged engine maybe the smaller displacement engines sound and rev better than their modern day behemoths lol love the F40 great series 👍

[@recca7]

kind of hard to choose when I haven't driven either of them and I've only seen one of those in my lifetime :( it is hard though because i mean for sheer enjoyment it's gotta be the F40, but i would want to drive it a lot lot and the TDF is better for everyday use with its creature comforts. Sometimes you don't always want to be at the edge of your seat all tensed and some what stressed. It can be taxing especially driving around those UK tight roads yikes. Choosing between these two is not something I would want to decide on, but it's definitely a problem I wish I had :(

[@dannyd7714]

There is NOTHING more awesome than an F-40. Not a McLaren F1, not a Bugatti Chiron, not a Koenigsegg, nothing. This is the greatest car ever made.

[@antiochiaadtaurum3786]

It has a 120 litre fuel tank, and can get 33mpg on an open road. Ultimatespecs also says 29mpg in the city, which seems cap beyond cap. Could it be that lean on fuel? I'm forgetting how light it is, considering it's motor

Of ALL the modern Ferrari’s, the TDF is probably my favourite, but to swap a TDF for a F40 is a very difficult choice as the F40 along with 288GTO are my favourite classic Ferrari’s. I’d have to toss a coin to decide but I know with either, I would not be disappointed.

Of the three, which one would you have in your garage? I don't think I could chose between a TDF or an F40 to be honest except you already have a TDF so I'd likely keep that. Pretty sure it will have a similar cult status in 20 years as the F40. And to be fair I really like Sam Moore's F40 in that blue. Thank you for the videos.

[@hetdave8379]

You didn't do a justice to Enzo and F50 by not placing the camera by Dashboard view like you have in this video.....That Camera Angle leads us to a whole new experience of virtually drive the car🙏👍❤️ Obviously i am liking F40 video more than previous two video but you should have done it that way....."
