My first thought when i 1st saw it a few months ago in Louis video: Never ever would I’ve chosen to paint a F40 (!) in blue - but it looks great indeed and grew on me ever since. 288GTO, 512BBi and the F40 will always be my favourite Ferraris. Anyway: thanks for the nice interview/vid, your faces during the „testdrive“ said it all 😊

Reminds me of the experience I have behind the wheel of my 93 ZR-1 Corvette. Its such a raw, visceral feeling to pilot it down the road and around curves. The newer Corvettes baby their drivers too much. Also, the sound of the LT-5 is blissful. Hardly ever turn on the radio.

The best car ever made!! Amazing spec! The F40 and Especialy the LM version and the 87 models, are dreams!! Remembering that the first units made in 87 "around the first 20 to 25 units" what few people know is that they are stronger and lighter than those produced later! Great content as always!

I’ve never found F40s attractive until the first time I saw this on your channel with the past owner. The color changes everything. The lines look so much better than in red. It literally looks like a different design but just with paint. It looks amazing. So I guess you could say I at least like 1 F40.

That specific shade of blue is potentially my favorite color ever but weirdly, I don't think it suits the F40 as it does other cars, even other Ferrari's. But props to the owner. He seems like such a nice, and genuine guy, which is hard to come by in this tax bracket.

If he enjoys the way the F40 creeps up on boost, he should really try driving a Supra. A good 700-850hp Supra with a big turbo is like a freight train when it hits boost.

you know I gotta say I'm happy for the guy, and if he's looking for another car that offers that similar experence, just with a much smoother power delivery and tone, he should go look at a miura, like one of the early early P400's, mind you they are right basket cases, and really need to be sorted to drive right, and the speculators have sabotaged the market so you cant get fair value prices anymore, like the SV's tops should be going for what the P400 goes for, but their unique turbine smooth go carts, but you really have to look after them with battery disconnects and fire extinguishers given how experemental they were,
