The Most Iconic Ferrari: The F40 | The Big Thing with Magnus Walker - Ep 6

[@greengoat5654]

I think to me what makes the f40 cool looking is the fact that it looks like a fiberglass shell lowered over a tube chassis like a race car, the way the back end is

[@angelgjr1999]

It’s a legit race car. F40 is the best car of all time.

[@rkahil]

It is what it looks like

[@reidmortensen2629]

And yet you can CLEARLY see the 288 GTO under it if you look her in the midsection. Beautiful beautiful car

[@jeshkam]

No, it does not look that way at all.

[@greengoat5654]

@@jeshkam from the open rear end to plexi rear window, yes. It does.

[@KouneliSPL]

Minor correction for 5:10 - the 288 GTO Evoluzione wasn't made for Group B rallying, but for Group B circuit racing (similar regulations, different discipline), which unfortunately never took off. The same applies for the Porsche 959 and Jaguar XJ220.

[@Grnbaracuda]

But 959 won the Dakar and that's a big thing.

[@SavedbyHim]

Not so minor haha

[@steventhompson399]

Really? Group B circuit racing? I love the group b rally era and the cars, I've seen a bunch of KZbin videos about group b rally, but I don't think I remember hearing about group b circuit racing! Somehow I missed that....

[@KouneliSPL]

@@steventhompson399 It's really easy to miss, in part because people love to romanticize Group B rally so much to the point where any passing mention of any of the cars intended for road racing gets automatically attributed to rally. It's probably best to look for resources outside of KZbin if you want to learn about it in a bit more detail.

Thank you, Magnus. Your tribute to Mr. Ferrari was to the point.He was "The Big Thing" his whole life. The fact that he signed off on his F-40 does nothing to diminish his glory as a man and a car builder.

Enzo had no input on this car, he just gave hes blessing. In fact Enzo had no say in Ferrari road cars since 1969.

[@MarcSob22]

A curiosity, the first F40 made in 1987 "between 20 to 25 units" before the new traffic rules of 1988, had the same power as the 288 GTO EVO "over 650hp" and were even lighter around 1080kg than the F40 manufactured after 1988 onwards, it had a maximum speed above 370km/h and did the 0-100km/h in the 3s flat! And the F40 is a hypercar of the time! The 288 GTO is considered the first hypercar of the world! And the story that no one has ever been able to reach 201mp/h is a BIG LIE!! A test back in 1988 done in Germany actually reached almost 211mp/h with a customer car! The Americans love to repeat that lie, so you are not american do do the same! Great content , amazing edition!

[@Orcawhale1]

1. Those cars were special customers, who had requested more powerfull versions. Which would later form the basis for the LM and Competizione spec. 2. The 288 GTO is not a supercar, it's a homologation special, there's a difference. 3. The F40 is a supercar, not hypercar. 4. The customer car story count as anecdotal tale, by a biased person. (F40's designer). If your going to parrot the F40 designer interview. Atleast make sure you get the facts correct.

[@TenMillionYearProgram42]

Wasn’t doing 211 bro.

[@victorlgcarvalho]

I don't know if I have tears in my eyes or goosebumps on my skin... These car vídeos are really the big thing. Thank you.

[@pimpovic2]

Great to see this car again, but the video was a bit short and less emotional than the previous Porsche video. In that one, you could feel the love that Magnus has for Porsches. It made it through the screen and held your interest as the story unfolded. Here I was left wanting more story and more feeling. Both were cut short. I suspect the owner of the car put limitations on where the car could go, or how long you had to drive it.

[@knightwolf200612]

Awesome video, thanx Hagerty! The F40 is indeed THE most special, unique and desirable Ferrari of all times, and I'm confident that status won't be broken any time soon, not even after 2037 at it's 50th anniversary. Because the first can only be the first, and a first can never be done again. Even the rarer and also very special F50 can't keep up with the F40's status.

[@stevenwilliams1805]

Still my absolute favorite Ferrari. Especially when I explain the bare bones nature of it and people ask why would I want a car like that? Part of what makes something special is that lack of universal appeal.

[@2fast2nick]

[@HaHaThatIsFunny]

The 365 on Miami Vice wasn't actually a real Ferrari... It started it's life as a Corvette. The Testarossa was authentic however.

[@joebeus6886]

@@HaHaThatIsFunny Actually 365 GTS/4 Daytona spider was the REAL DEAL Ferrari in the first Pilot episode of Miami Vice !! FUN FACT: Enzo Ferrari donated two new Testarossa monospecchios to Miami Vice! But they STILL used 1972 De Tomaso Pantera with Testarossa body panels sometimes as Stunt Car and fixed camera on car !! Isn't that ironic!

I gotta say I love the Lancia more now, but this was right next to the Countach poster. This car is such a legend, love the f50 but not as much. The f40 is perfect enough said

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Beautiful car. I hope to see some of these on a trip to L.A. soon. Thank you Mr. Walker.

[@w1zard0f0z]

I was watching a live auction of a pristine one two weeks ago while at Retromobile in Paris, I knew it'd go for more than $2M, but it went even beyond $2,3M! There was a F50 too, that went for the double!!

[@TenMillionYearProgram42]

Double the F40?! That’s insane. The F40 is a legend; the F50 the sequel people say is ok if you’re a diehard… definitely would not expect it to fetch double what the F40 did. Maybe it’s a rarity thing? Ferrari kinda just ran with the F40, to the tune of around 1300 units. I think the F50 was limited to a few hundred. Certainly not the car the F40 was. F50 was sorta thought of as a”Big, ugly, vibrating piledriver of a thing,” to quote Jeremy Clarkson.

[@pasthuman]

It's for sure like the most iconic most desirable Ferrari. Classic styling...timeless racing design.

[@asjadmemoon]

The Legendry F40

[@titaniummechanism3214]

I've never driven a Ferrari, but just judging by the specs I think I'd like the F50 better than the F40. Its got the V12 and the magnificent sound that comes with that engine, but it still has a manual transmission and is probably more raw to drive than the comparatively modern and polished Enzo. And cars like the 250 GTO are out of the question, I'd be too scared of damaging them to enjoy driving them.

The three biggest posters I had on my bedroom wall in 1987 were Samantha Fox, Enterprise D, and the F-40. The Enterprise didn’t actually exist but at 15 I figured if I had the F-40 Samantha or at least a convincing doppelgänger would climb into it with me.

Magnus Walker is a great narrator, no question about it, and he has access to the best cars. This series would be at the top if commentary and music were balanced with pure driving sequences. For the best video about the f40, look at Davide Cironi's passionate one.

A legend reviewing a legend

[@AlexTrain5249]

There is footage of it apparently doing 200 MPH on the Autobahn but I know early speedometers can be quite optimistic. Hopefully somebody will be able to test that. I heard that the F40s we got in the USA were slightly more powerful but that’s because they were heavier with emissions junk. So maybe a US spec engine in a Euro spec F40 would likely be able to do 200 mph.

for sure the turbo F40 was a FIAT idea

[@TahoeRealm]

I wish Hagerty had given this one to Jason Cammisa. He’d have done a better job. The F40 deserves better and we deserve more detail and information. Also, scrap the jump cut edits - it’s a cheap crutch and so yesterday. With a car a beautiful as the F40 and an intelligent man like Magnus, they aren’t needed.

I don't know how close I ever was to one of them. When I was a teen I delivered papers and there was this family who had multiple Ferraris parked outside. They probably had a dealership I just remember them having a driveway that could hold three cars width wise and two cars lengthwise. There were always Ferraris there. But never an f40. In the same area I remember a lm002. It was one of the smaller houses in the neighborhood if not the smallest and parked in the middle of the driveway is a Rambo Lambo. I went to the LA Auto show the year the 959 was introduced they had a special whole section for it. I thought that was the car.
