Why The Ferrari 250 SWB Revival Is Worth £800k! | GTO Engineering

[@timhackh]

Forget about those modern supercars... All a real enthusiast needs is a classic Ferrari!

[@weaselman24]

Yes. A car where skill counts.

[@pedrom5919]

Or a classic Porsche.

[@KUROSHURA]

Those are the only V12 Ferraris worth getting in my perspective. The modern ones are too powerful, too big and too fast to be enjoyed on the road.

[@Ebbhead2424]

This is is not a classic. It´s a modern replica.

[@lewisevans3451]

That Ferrari is amazing everyone needs one if it wasn't 800k

[@karlhurn]

Great to see someone genuinely enjoying a car so much they forget what to say. Nice one Sam! 👍

[@joetremblay8892]

I owned a comp. 1960 SWB in the 70's (#1807) and used it for my daily driver in LA. It had an engine out of a 1958 Testarossa!

The most beautiful front engined car ever built (mid engined = Muira). More desirable than anything built in the last 50 years. Simpy sublime.... as your reaction demonstrates!

[@alcam100]

This review and your reaction is exactly as I hoped it would be. Sublime.

[@titolynch]

I had the same exact reaction. You just can’t explain it, you are just wowed.

[@RavenValkyrie]

Man who ever owns this car is so lucky to afford it, IT SOUNDS SO GOOD, and the experience of driving such a barebone machine must be unparalleled compared to a modern supercar.

[@Sonic-Boom]

I’ve driven past this place a hundred times, just wish I had the money to go in!

[@sammooresphoto]

To go in is free.... go have a look!

Jesus.....! I could feel the torque through my iPad! So jealous that you got to “aim” that thing down public roads. Great vid!

You need this and an Eagle and a Porsche 550

[@MarcSob22]

The most gorgeous GT ever made!!

[@joshn.5625]

Marcelo S it is stunning but sits at #2 for me, right behind the 300SL Gullwing.

[@titolynch]

Josh Nisker maybe, but the driving experience is far far mor amazing on the SWB for me. So the hole package is far better with the SWB (for me of corse)

[@tifosiman68]

I agree. The SWB Ferraris are my favorite.

[@joshn.5625]

@@titolynch I’ve never driven either, so I’ll take your word for it!

[@titolynch]

Josh Nisker The SWB competizione is the best car i’ve driven...period. I have the amazing luck of being able to drive many many cars, but no car has ever transmitted su much and felt so right as the SWB. But the 300SL is a stunning car, beautiful. Did you know there are some very special 300SLs that where restomoded by AMG and Mercedes Benz with a modern engine inside with 400hp, and A/C. Not very engaging when you drive them but they become very very usable, almost a daily driver.

[@truthseeker8483]

The giggling was funny! Awesome car..amazing that they can recreate it ..must be some wonderful engineering going on in that beautiful GTO building....thanks for the review Sam

250SWB! My favourite car of all time, though not quite as pretty as the 300SL Gullwing in my view.

[@SHIREDRIFT]

Cor, doesn't she sing! Love it. And with all these continuations you can actually use and enjoy them to their full potential without being in a constant state of worry and anxiety about breaking 60 year old - unavailable components!

[@sammooresphoto]

100%

[@johnireland1629]

Wonderful video. It expresses why I turned in my leased 2017 high tech modern Alfa Giulia sedan and bought a 20 year old 911. Not on the same level as this 250 SWB, but well within the same spirit and fun factor. Modern technology in cars turns us into automotive couch potatoes.

[@Houthiandtheblowfish]

Colombo 3.5 liter v12 is just heaven

[@ghibli608]

I had goosebumps during the entire driving part. That sound ! A-MA-ZIng !

Thanks for this video mate! As car people we could feel every bit of the emotions you were trying to convey, and that engine... oh my god!

What a great video - As genuine cars have gone beyond dream money, if I had a mere 800K for a car, this would be the top of my list! No doubt! I think you liked that more than the F8!

[@randomsurfer3963]

Amazing car. You should have gone to that location with your F40, imagine the two of them together..

You tried hard Sam, but, there are no words for these kind of experience’s, the best that life has to offer in vehicle terms. I am the same, especially on really fast motorcycles, there are no words..........thanks for videos like this, GTO Engineering are exceptional at what they do and long may it continue, they are magicians to be able to recreate such engineering art and poetry..........wish very much to be able to afford a 250 SWB, in black with cognac leather, competition spec !

[@paulanstey3562]

I am sooooooo jealous. Come on lotto. How can they badge this a Ferrari? I guess they start with an old Ferrari do they? But you seemed to indicate the car was a new build. If they have Ferrari approval then it elevates this car somewhat more. I really hate you right now. How come others have so much fun and I'm stuck in a shopping trolley. Great vid and I love your response to the car. Pure unadulterated joy. :)

[@_rubberbandit3697]

It’s what’s known as ‘a tool car’. It’s built completely of Ferrari parts, it just didn’t roll off the Ferrari factory floor. Ferrari actually buy parts from GTO Engineering for fixing and servicing classic Ferraris

[@recalcitrant_recidivist9278]

I watched this twice, fucking hell....

[@iwshfg6]

Wow probably the best looking car of all time,I would buy it for sure if i had the money

[@kenburke9145]

Those specialist lightweight car makers seriously need to look at this type of retro design work with a modern engine unit and that WOULD sell.

[@sammooresphoto]

absolutely, GTO are making a modern car to basically that formula now but it won't be the same as Ferrari doing it.

[@robertmarr8991]

I really love this car and this modern build by GTO Engineering, but what about Ferrari and its lawyers? They usually don't love "replicas" o other kind of reproduction.

[@beatspacek3479]

M8, I was absolutely cracking up with laughter and joy with yu there Sam!!! Sometimes there is too much talk when there is absolutely no need and this clip would be right up there in that regard. Those first few cackles killed me LOL 😂 Now to the car and in particular that engine and gearbox. Just wow!! 250 SWB always been one of my faves and after watching this I’m wondering how I can make a few mill sos I can get my self down to GTO and order me one pronto..!! I reckon if they ever need to do any marketing they only need ur clip Sam!! Because of yu, thousands more are aching to own this machine. Another thing, I’ve seen recently that they are recreating the Aston DB5 007 editions. Those are going for a kool 5mill or there abouts. To my mind it makes this Fezza look like an absolute bargain. If I had the choice between the two with the 250 a similar price to the Aston, I’d still choose the 250. With it at a fraction of the DB5 sticker, it’s a no brainer! Great work sam and all hale GTO engineering :)))
