@TheCriticalAss7 жыл бұрын
I can't really find a more appropriate forum to tell my story than this, although probably noone is going to read it. But I have to get it out of my system. So let's begin. I was around 6 years old. Year 1994. My father got a scholarship for phd-students (he was an assistant professor teaching informatics back then) in northern Italy. He got a little apartment in Gallarate, near Milan. He spent several months there, and we went to visit him with my mom and my little brother, who was 4 at the time. So he doesn't remember much, and neither do I, but still, I conserved the essence of the place. I'm Hungarian by the way. So imagine: a 6 years old boy, from Eastern Europe, where 4 years ago was still socialism. I've arrived to northern Italy, the richest region of the country with the best looking cars the world has ever seen. We went by car. An old, Czechoslovakian stallion, the Skoda 105S. You can imagine the faces of the Italians overtaking us in Alfas on the highway. They were laughing so bad. And we had to stop occasionally to refill the cooling system with water from the rice fields, because the summer heat wasn't very merciful with the rear-engined car - the radiator was placed in the front, a major design flaw -, we had to turn up the heat to the maximum, and only the front windows were able to lower. This function for the rear ones was an optional extra. But nevertheless, we arrived, and although we were obviosly short on money (both of my parents were teachers back then. Imagine the average salary for an Eastern European high school teacher and an assistant professor...), we really enjoyed everything. One day, we've decided to visit Zürich in Switzerland. It was pretty close, so we went there by car. We parked it somewhere, and then we took a walk in the center. And there, between the old buildings, on a narrow street, a Ferrari 512 Testarossa turned into our direction. A red one, obviously. It was as wide as the street, we had to put our backs against the wall to let it pass. I really couldn't believe my eyes that something like that exists. Me, the little boy from the poor and undeveloped Eastern European country, where the streets are filled with Ladas, Skodas, Polski Fiats, two-stroke Trabants, occasionally a used Panda - so basically only shitty cars, and stopping to refill the cooling system with ricefield water is completely normal -, there I stand, and this magnificent, wide, flat, intimidatingly humming huge red beast goes by. I didn't have any base for comparison in my mind. The first time I saw a Ferrari in real life, and it was a 512 Testarossa. I've never seen one ever since. But this movie really brings me back there, because without any words, it communicates the whole package, the clean message of what this car is about. I still have difficulties to put in words, and obviously back then I had nothing but the feeling that I'm seeing something from another galaxy, but here's what I have: this car made me a fanatic petrolhead. This very car kindled that huge fire in my soul what cars mean to me today. I've always thought that the Countach is a more outrageous car, and honestly, it is. But this one is just pure, pure '80-s beauty, and the definition of THE supercar to me. And the starting point of a fantastic journey I'm still going on. Whoever reads this, thank you for wasting your time on my stupid little detour on memory lane here. A little kid from Hungary approves :)

TheCriticalAss ... cool story, I thought it would be about seeing Ferraris in Italy. The Testarossa is an icon and one of the top 10 cars in my opinion. A car collection would not be complete without a red-head, nor a Countach. I'd like to say that Ferrari has made more beautiful cars since the Testarossa, but nothing comes to mind. Isten veled.

Here in San Diego, several years ago in downtown at an historic car museum/dealership was selling a clean Testarossa in white (Totally "Miami Vice") that just had the $10k belt service done and only about 20k miles on it and they were selling it for $30k because they were cleaning house (it's a small place). I was going to buy it, but for some reason I backed out, and now they're going for like $100k+. Huge missed opportunity. This freakin' video had to remind me. Thanks Harris. Thanks.

Chris really caught the moment with his best "Crockett" face and cotton wardrobe. If you're not from the 80's, you didn't get any of it. It was one of the best vintage car reviews ever and not a single word was spoken! The Testarossa mostly came in red, the side vent styling was outlandish, and it leaned real heavy in the corners. You had to know what you were doing with this car or you would find yourself wrapped around a tree. The gated shifter and camel interior! This was the ultimate statement! It was a legend (inside and out)! I love the Testarossa! All you haters can F-Off! This car was the first supercar you could actually drive around in town. You would need to drive early in the morning or late at night in warm climates. The air conditioning couldn't keep up on a hot day. This was the car that revolutionised the "supercar" breed!!

However I must say that the 458 in all its versions- as I like the mid-V8's a bit more - did grew on me immensely... It got that aggressive predator look , what was missing for 30 years. give it a few years and maybe the 488 I can add to it as well..

The part that is tedious is disconnecting everything in the engine bay to access the engine mounts, because you can't just get at them from the bottom, you have to get at them from the top. Its not like a Honda where you can have it out in about an hour, it takes a long time yes. But its very doable.

@il_sassaroli5 жыл бұрын
Simply the best. I saw her once on the highway. Gorgeous as it advanced as if the road was all its own. On the side, the enjoyment of the 12 cylinders that stomps and becomes a ferocious melody ready to attack. From behind, the beautiful back that seems to eat the road. Something that makes you shiver, the certainty that if there is a car with a lot of soul and voice, it is the TR. Of Ferrari I have always dreamed of 12 cylinders, aspirated, boxer and flat. No 8 cylinders of Maranello, although performing and bad, can fight against this sound. Point. The rest is just commercial. Of course, cars like GTO, and F40 make a separate story. Always respectful. But the Testarossa series, except the M, I still consider it, the most exciting as bodywork, engine and driving.
@andrewlongfield31025 жыл бұрын
I think the most beautiful and desirable Ferrari's ever made were made in the fifties. If I could own just one, then it would be either a 250 Europa, a 340 America, or a 410 Super America. I think the market agrees with me too, as these are the cars that command the highest prices, other than the 250GTO, which is an anomaly in some ways. The earlier cars are rarer. While there were nearly fifty GTO's, the earlier cars were done in numbers like 8, or 15. Yes this makes them harder to get your hands on, and is one of the reasons there aren't many clips of them on youtube. I bet Chris Harris would drool to do a test on a 410. I like his 512 TR, they are a very good Ferrari, but nothing like the old hand built fifties cars. I have to say, i thoroughly approve of the way Chris exercises his cars properly. After all these were the top 'performance' cars of their respective era's, so it doesn't make sense to drive them sedately. I have a 73 Espada, and it's when you are pushing the car close to it's capability that the real essence of the car shines through.

Happens with a lot of cars honestly, always better in person. Nothing close to a Testarossa, but before I bought my 944T or my '85 Camaro, I thought they were ugly as hell. In person though, pretty badass.

Imagine if the 458 had a gated manual though, it would be just incredible
@zacharylagler2428 жыл бұрын
Agreed, the only Italian supercar maker that does manuals is pagani but they don't have that iconic sound or design.
@ScottZ3708 жыл бұрын
Zachary Lagler They don't do them any more sadly, well not a real manual but they do have that beautiful metal gear mechanism. Can you even buy a gated manual on any car for sale now? I really hope there is one out there.

I also love the last drive before hibernation Porsche video you did, its the vibe the fluff the atmosphere the cinematography and your personality all together, i almost don't even care about information on the cars (although those types are videos you do are great also) i just want vibe atmophere the stuff that makes me feel the energy of why anyone wold even want one of these beautiful vehicles.

Great filming. I loved the testarossa growing up. It's one of the most beautiful things ever designed.
@EduSanjuan7772 жыл бұрын
Funnily enough designed by FIAT not Pininfarina, and a lot of people in Ferrari didn't like the design including Enzo. The sales numbersproved them wrong though.

People on automotive show are always banging on about how ugly this thing looks. The only think I can say is they weren't 8 years old when this car was being built. I loved the way it looked then and I still do.
@dvamateur10 жыл бұрын
I was 10 years old when Testarossa came out. I didn't like it back then, it was too radical and new, at least on pictures. I much preferred 288 GTO which came out the same year. But the Testarossa quickly grew on me. The main things missing for me on the 512TR is the lack of characteristic Testarossa headrests and the amber/red tail lights looked better too than white/red. Still, this is THE most beautiful Ferrari. If so many people consider this ugly, I don't really know what to say...

At 1:52 We see Chris Harris channeling his inner Sonny Crockett.. Lol.. Pardon me what's you're name ? Johnson, Don Johnson.. Awesome short Chris but I think your narrative can sell everyone on pretty much any car.. Some people start watching your reviews about some cars with opinions formed, decision made thinking this fucking thing is dog shit with 4 tires & a steering wheel & nothing Chris Harris can say or show me will ever make me change my mind.. Cut to the last 10 seconds of your review & these same people are now thinking, Chris made some valid points it's actually not a bad little car.. Followed by the next thought DAMNIT !!! Why is he so likeable & a damn good driver too.. Your bread & butter Chris, I'm telling ya..

I just love this video! No, not video, short film. And every now and then i feel the need to re watch it and coment on it. This short film resonate so much with some part of me deep inside that while watching it i feel like what i would like to say to each take is: -"of course." Starting from the glimpses of the car as it is intoduced to the storyline, to when Chris Harris stops dress the correct outfit, until the very end, all i want to say is: -"of course."
