Ferrari 599 GTO vs Lamborghini Murcielago SV [Ultimate V12 Test Drive]

[@bentleyspotter]

Those SV's driving up and down Sloan Street back in 2008 or so(mainly that matte purple one) really changed my whole outlook on cars. To this day, the SV holds such a warm spot in my heart. Thanks for the content, Sam.

[@seenthroughglass]

They just look and sound so cool! For me, much prefer it to the Aventador

[@tunes4life]

@@seenthroughglass Yeah me too,even though if i had the money,i would have both SVs,alongside the Countach SV and Diablo SV, and Centenario. and a few other cars like Bugatti EB 110, Jaguar XJ220 (reworked on), the old Land Rover Defender 110, and the blue carbon Swiss Mclaren 688 HS. #DreamGarage

[@OntarioSupercars]

That was summer 2010 with the matte purple one, matte pink one, Baby blue (blu Cepheus) one, red one, yellow one, and a few others. There also was a cinque roadster and other HyperCars knocking about. That was London in its prime

[@LaGantoise]

Paul is watching this video with tear in his eyes. He even peed a little when you said you wanted a Murcielago.

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha. I’ve been trolling him ever since I filmed the video

NA V12s should be collectible like crazy by merit of their sound alone.

Kind of agree with you there

Only a matter of time I reckon

[@andrelima5124]

I think they already are

[@Andino.]

They already are

[@KevinVDM]

The SV has "aged" so well 😍

[@sneaky_krait7271]

That Murci V12 is the best sounding engine of all time in my opinion. It has both a singing high pitch and a deep growl!

[@seenthroughglass]

The sound of the downshifts was just incredible

[@jryalls]

Wait until you here the Aston Martin Valkyrie.

[@rj7449]

Look up murcielago r-sv GT1, you'll love it even more

[@jay1462]

Yes the Murci does sound really good, but maybe you forget LFA🧐

[@tmboz18]

Sneaky_Krait have you ever heard the 599 with the “brilliant exhaust” setup? I think it comes close to the SV but the SV is just orgasmic.

[@adriabaquer2306]

I think the fact you said:" I love this Lamborghini and I want one" is gonna come back at you for the rest of your existence. Paul Wallace won't stop remiding you every single day you said that!!!

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha. I know. What have I got myself into. Oh no

[@rj7449]

And he didn't even drive one with a proper straight pipe exhaust 🙃

[@leeallcock6996]

Sam get paul wallace's lambo

[@halldorarni22]

They actually only made 186 SV's as the factory had to make room for the Aventador production line

[@ryanpowell3757]

Crazy to think that they couldn't sell them then and now they are so sought after

[@lpdandi12]

Exactly. But they still numbered them randomly so you can find a car with a badge saying 325/350 haha

[@kev199369]

Daniel Viliam Mazáč that’s so Italy hahahah

[@-LK34-]

Lmao they made close to 400🤣🤣

[@faisalleeds]

How many were in right hand drive? Can't have been that many

[@venaautos]

The GTO is a better car, but I would still take the Murcielago SV over it

[@seenthroughglass]

I think you've summed it up perfectly

[@rj7449]

Yep after I heard the lp 670 r-sv GT1 the murci is my favorite v12 supercar from that era

[@zakelwe]

The Murci is a 1% car which is what a supercar should be. And also an Athena poster car, if you see see one on the road they look so wide and low, especially in black or dark grey. Also the standard 640 looks so wedge shaped without all the stupid over styled add ons of the Huracan or Aventador. Gallardo and Murci ... both perfect wedge shaped dream cars. They have their faults, but have a charm because of that. The Italian TVR to the Ferrari....

[@NickBoiler4]

Seen Through Glass did you just say you’d take a Lambo over a Ferrari? Lol great video

[@skywalk3x]

Better is subjective, in this subject the lambo all day

[@alex91062]

The Murci SV is such a special car. There's a reason Evo magazine took it on that modern classics test along with the likes of a CGT, F1, Zonda and F40 etc. My favourite Lambo of all time and I'd choose it in a heartbeat over that 599!

[@TractControlOff]

The final real "analog" supercar.

[@richieduck67]

More stellar content from STG.

[@seenthroughglass]

Very kind, thank you!

[@peanutboys1]

That SV in red 😍and that sound!

[@seenthroughglass]

So so cool!

[@gabrieldelolmomartinez240]

Cold starts everywhere. My two favorite V12s of all time. I love the lambo but my heart says Ferrari.

I was so tempted to watch on my phone the minute this video dropped; extremely glad I waited the extra days to watch on a tv after I had run out of movies. The quality and style of your videos surpasses any other auto youtuber.

[@EmptyPocketsXotics]

Definitely hit a soft spot for me considering that 1995-2005 era was also very special to me growing up. These two were a couple of my favorites, so this was filed under "My Favorite YT Videos." Made my heart (and ears) melt, thank you...

As you said in your latest BTG video, this is definitely (on of) your best videos! I absolutely pissed myself when you went: “EEEE, BOOM! *screaming inaudible italian* whilst the Ferrari is like: wehwehwehhhhh la mille miglia and then we’ll have sum spaghettiiii”

[@jannohuberts4]

The two best sounding v12's ever!

[@seenthroughglass]

Think you might be right

[@reset1101]

Pagani Zonda: Am I a joke to you? And I will probably miss more V12 powered glorious cars. But yeah, they are awesome :)

[@Sube-Tube]

Mercedes made better v12s

[@nickholbrook3454]

Almost any 50's to 70's era V12 has these beaten on noise - especially those with 1 choke per cylibder The induction noise on multi carb applications adds so much to the mix that modern stuff simply doesn't often have. Best sounding V12 btw is probably McLaren F1 (with ITB's making a similar noise to carbs)

[@Sube-Tube]

@@nickholbrook3454 yeah, but those are so expensive

[@embakubmotoring]

Sam, you've dethroned Tim, your my favourite KZbinr now, simply because I relate to u more😂. Great Video.

[@seenthroughglass]

Ha, thats very kind, but plenty of time to watch us both

[@cinemenico]

@@seenthroughglass Cool thing to say! Passion for cars unites us all! We're all nuts! Playing favourites with KZbinrs is like picking between two legend of cars. Can't go wrong either way! In a sense that really comes down to comparing apples to oranges. But not putting them up against eachother and nitpick what's wrong with one or the other, just enjoying them for what each is about!

[@ticnatz]

The GTO has been my favorite car since the beginning. I will make an exception to the Wiesmann....any Wiesmann, but that is another matter.

I love this intro. There was no need for any music, and you nailed it. Bravo!

[@msl-sf3rl]

This is a brilliant video. Your presentation is excellent and the filming and editing are the best I’ve seen in your content (2003 Grigio Avlon Manual Murcielago - (which you judged at 2018 City Concours) and 2013 Grigio Telesto Aventador owner). Of course you love the Murcielago...it was great seeing a Ferrari enthusiast become transfixed by the Murcielago experience but you need to experience a manual car...well done and keep the good work.

How come nobody is talking about that intro?!?!?! Come on! I had to rewind it 4 times before I watched the rest! 🔥🔥🔥

The GTO is like the grown up, well dressed brother where the SV is basically the younger brother that the older brother wishes he was. The SV will always be king in my books. Much more of a "supercar".

Man! That’s a hard one. The lines on the GTO are incredible and timeless. The SOUND the engine makes is otherworldly. New car for you Sam

[@CorentinPecnard]

I remember back in the days reading tons of articles comparing those two, with no possible conclusion, and dreaming of that sight. I'm really happy to see it happen here ! I don't know which one I'd choose, I'd say that I need to drive them back to back to know, but I'm sure it wouldn't help. I think it's the kind of comparison where your pick would change everyday, it is so insane, the two cars are brilliant but so different, yet so close on some points, it's really a hard pick. Well, guess you need both ! Amazing video Sam, I can't wait to see what else you have in store to keep us occupied during those hard times, and I hope you'll be able (we'll be able !) to go out again for a drive any time soon, once this madness is over ! (btw watching you struggle to start up the Lamborghini is one of my new favorite things :') )
