One of the best looking cars ever made

[@sidvyas8549]

Even tho Enzo himself said the Jag E Type was the best looking ever made, one respectfully must disagree and point one in the direction of this gorgeous piece of art

[@michaelkmiec5842]

It’s defiantly a car that was probably made can’t deny that..but you know what I’d say my 2013 Prius can get the job done and we don’t want to mess up the climate any more right? This thing seems like a gas guzzler.

[@shanehnorman]

The best video I've ever seen of an SWB in action; I wish it had been twice as long.

[@Nemoticon]

The camera work DOES do the car justice, I agree. But if you want to see proper SWB action, look for Goodwood Revival where these cars are still raced today, against othres cars of the same era. Now THAT is classic action, in the heat of battle and they do it every year.

This is exactly why seeing machines that are supposed to be in motion, but are instead found lifeless and static, inside of a garage, barn or a museum is so heartbreaking.

This car is a masterpiece. The design is outrageous, to me this is better looking than a 250 GTO. A really good reason to get rich

[@IIIrandomIII]

OH MY GOD I subscribed just in case you put out videos like this. OH MY GOD. My heart is beating so fast.

[@soyounoat]

Whenever I see an automotive enthusiast make a video of their opportunity to drive a 250 SWB, each one gets that otherworldly glaze of giddiness as they row through the gears on a twisty road. These cars could be considered drugs.

[@Bamsebrakar2011]

280 hp doesn’t seem so much today, but was out of this world in a road car in the early sixties. And not least, it weighed only around 960 kg. Nothing compensates weight.

[@kiwi335d]

Thanks for the video of a fabulous Ferrari icon. Was looking forward to hearing the musical sound of the V12 engine climb through the revs, but the overlayed music in the video spoiled that a bit. I don’t mind a bit of filler music in performance car videos, but not during the moments where the beautiful sounding engine should take precedence over any introduced background sound. Just my thoughts, others might prefer to hear the added background music…

[@bhuppi13]

Man, I'd be so happy if they made such classy looking cars now.. And the grunt

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Most beautiful car in existence. Where do I give my kidney ?

[@achintyaaatreya]

Some may say that the GTO is the best 250 chassis based racecar but the the SWB holds the highest position in my regard.

[@67daltonknox]

The Angeles Crest in a 250 SWB - heaven. Odd that Enzo wept when he saw an E-Type.

[@Vincenzo-wn1or]

I know right! The e-type looks a little frumpy against the Ferraris of the day. I reckon Enzo was just trying to keep the Italian coach builders on their toes. 😎

[@matthijsgerretse3217]

I bet some journalist asked Enzo; "What car, that isn't a Ferrari, do you consider to be the most beautiful?" and he took the answer out of context.

[@Vincenzo-wn1or]

@@matthijsgerretse3217 that's a very plausible scenario. I loved how Enzo used to say you pay for the engine and get the body for free! The equivalent of saying "we'll throw in a Mona Lisa for free"?! Sublime art on wheels those Ferraris!

[@ovenorway]

The E-type is faster, has disc brakes and independent suspension. And it was a third of the price. The E-type's biggest problem is the volume of cars made. It would be a million dollar car it it was rare... Anyway back to the point. It is an urban myth that Enzo said the E-type was the most beautiful car ever made. What Enzo said was that the only thing wrong with the E-type was that it did not have a prancing horse on it. This is according to Norman Devis who was present at the time. But as Norman later said. Enzo didn't speak english and Norman didn't speak Italian, so who really know what the old man really said.....

[@karlj1717]

A Ferrari 250 GT SWB is about 7 million although if that one was a actual historical racer then I should imagine 30 million would be about the right price, nice to see someone actually using it for what it’s designed for.

jesus how is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! today we produce ipod with 4 wheels and we call this "progress", no comment

[@mikhailman]

Today's cars are: 1) Faster 2) MUCH safer 3) million times more fuel efficient 4) much more ergonomic 5) better produced 6) More stable on the road and nimble around corners I don't know what you're talking about, but there is a big progress made in automotive world. Probably all you're talking about it how the car looks. And yes, it is much easier to make a beautiful car like this Ferrari here when you don't have million regulations and safety restrictions to follow. Don't compare apples to oranges.

They Don't Make Em Like They Used To!

[@mattagnew206]

Great photography, good presenter, but for the love of God, you need to fade the music down so we can hear the car. This is a complaint I've read over and over on high quality car videos. Petrolicious gets this. There are also a couple of times where it sounds like more than one audio clip of the engine is playing. But keep making videos, I enjoyed this.
