Ferrari Daytona v 599 GTO - The Sublime vs the Ridiculous

[@supercar.driver]

Which of these V12 dream machines would you take home? Let us know 👇

[@JangosGaragebrokendreams]

Great video love the Daytona still miss my 456gt

[@just_some_internet_guy]

599 GTO. Thanks to the supplier for letting his GTO run free!!

[@josephjewellers]

great video...hopefully more Ferrari videos soon..... Daytona my pick...

[@pauln0371]

365 everyday and twice on a Sunday..

[@BaruKz]

I reckon the Ferrari 365 Daytona it's always going to be a legend, but the not loved and controversial Ferrari 599 GTO is by far my favorite not only for bringing to the 599xx/ xxevo just really shows the real potential of this road homologation. The noise it's just fantastic the true V12 sound.

[@aviationlba747]

The 365 GTB/4 Daytona would be my choice, it is just timeless. However the 599 GTO is one of my favourite modern Ferraris.

[@Rosso456MGT]

My 599 is hands down the best all round Supercar I have owned - 30,000 + miles now and it can do it all...

[@siler7]

What are a few that are just beneath it? Specifically, I've always been curious about the 456.

[@2manycars713]

Well done lads 👍

[@supercar.driver]

Thank you for the opportunity you lovely man

[@gapyrodawg5181]

The 599GTO is one of my all-time favorite Ferrari's. Along with the 288GTO, F50, 355GTS, 458spyder, and 512TR. I'd definitely buy one now before the value starts to Sky Rocket!!!

[@supercar.driver]

For what they are they do feel undervalued and somewhat unloved. The best kept secret in the world of Ferrari

[@gapyrodawg5181]

@james bond doesn't Everything cost more in Australia??? I remember seeing something about Corvettes being like $250,000 or some sh💩t.

[@ferrari365]

Great video, so good to hear the exhausts as they actually sound.

[@supercar.driver]

You know it! Daytona was such a thrill up the top of the Rev range

[@pdcichosz]

That wail of 599 GTO! This is probably the closest a V12 gets to the sound of V10 F1 engines. I've heard it ('saw it' would be a massive overstatement as it zipped past me in split second) once, but I still remember the thrill, the chills, the visceral reaction. I would buy it even if it was flawed in every way. For the sound.

[@pauln0371]

What a pair of legend's. Just sublime pieces of automotive history..👍👍😍😍

[@muhammadfadil2515]

That Daytona beat Miura when its come to reach the speed limit, cause if you push Miura until its limit it'll fly, but if you push Daytona to the limit it'll be faster and faster

[@Carrera-gp9od]

I would love to have a drive in the 599 , however I would sell a kidney to own the Daytona ! It’s utterly gorgeous , sounds superb too , what a machine !

[@supercar.driver]

That’s a fair way of putting it. The Daytona was utterly sublime, would love to own one

599 gto is probably my favorite modern Ferrari under a £million, and as much as I like the Daytona, I've always preferred the 275 gtb

[@v8ssf]

Epic video again guys.. I have never heard you say you like a Ferrari before Jonty...

[@chrisreadman4282]

What a great watch.....thank you

Our pleasure!

[@hamishinglis493]

It is an age and personal experience thing. The 365GTB/4 please, I still have a huge soft spot for them. Excellent video, thank you.

[@supercar.driver]

Thanks for watching 🙌

[@johnforeman634]

One time I was having my 360 spider serviced, there was a Daytona sitting nearby. I asked my Ferrari mechanic what it was like to drive that one? He sounded very unimpressed and said it felt like you were driving a big buggy. As much as I love the design of older Ferrari’s, I’ll take the 599.

[@zzhughesd]

Oh ny gosh. The engine note. This is a very nice colour combo 599. Alloys standard but stance so much better than a red GTO. Looks like it has been alloys and skirts. Am I missing something. What are the holes around the headlight on the bumper. Puzzling me. Thanks

[@cheshirered9204]

Cat and Fiddle, Buxton. I like the standard 599 GTB. Has to be a modern classic and roughly 20% of GTO money. Incredible value.

[@cbca6567]

The Autocar test Ferrari Daytona in 1971 weighed 1765kg, more than the 1600kg quoted by Ferrari, not 1250kg as stated. The two valve engine and good low down torque provides the go! The original fibreglass Ferrari 308 GTB weighed 1300kg. The Daytona was a heavyweight, so heavier as tested in 1971 than the 599GT0 which weighed 1605kg.

[@goranblomqvist1482]

This is NOT ABOUT cars,THIS is TRUE love

[@alisonleaman333]

Point well made about the Daytona's stability at high speed. The heavy steering - which is a real pain at parking speeds - comes into its own from about 50 mph upwards. The other joy is that the car is so long-legged. Stick it in third and go from 30 to 100+ in no time at all.

[@minatormyth]

Have been waiting for this one to drop lads, thank you🤗 Jonty, I have never seen you so nervous driving that GTO😂 We live near some very nice roads up here dont we, dont know how we have never seen/met at the C&F mate. That's my stomping ground🤘 Love your work guys😎 Now I am of to watch it again😳😳

[@Jonty99]

We sure do! I think we did see you up there once and I tried to call you but couldn’t find your number at the time. You were in the 355. We’ll have to get them out for a blast together soon.

[@minatormyth]

@@Jonty99 that would be nice brother. Roll on summer🤘

[@supercar.driver]

We were filming the DB5 up there this summer and he passed us in the 355. We really should hook up in the new year 🙌

[@mattevans4377]

I'm leaning towards the Daytona. Purely to race another form of transport across Europe...

[@Sum_Ting_Wong]

You could do that in any modern GT to be honest. A £5000 Jaguar XK could do it better.

[@mattevans4377]

@@Sum_Ting_Wong Yes, but would it be as cool?

What a dream, driving these two amazing Ferraris. I would go for the Daytona, I just love it.

[@supercar.driver]

Thank you Tim

[@01stum]

Brilliant video

[@noelht1]

8:21 I know we are talking about a different era, and all the cars are much smaller than newer cars out today. But 1250 kg and calling it overweight by modern standards is absolutely outrageous. 1250 kg is nothing compared to even like a 458. Which will be much more. It’s absolutely zero compared to modern car standard. A Ford Fiesta would weigh more than that. Edit. I’ve just done some checking. 458 comes in curb weight at about 1500 kg. On the 599 GTO comes in at 1600 kg. 1250 is featherweight

[@davpkav1]

Another very engaging video Jonts.....now I see where the ghostly Daytona came from in the last video,...😎👏.....truly gorgeous, both equally stunning

[@supercar.driver]

Thanks for watching ✌️

[@CarlsModsClass]

Thats a really hard one to choose between the 599 GTO and a Daytona

[@ShogunHull]

I beg to differ slightly REGARDING THAT BLUE DAYTONA (I DROVE ONE OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR ONCE AND SCREAMED DOWN A BEVERLY HILLS STREET..IT WAS SO COOL..I WAS 19..I'M A *VERY GOOD DRIVER)... I think the draw back, for me at least, is the pop up headlights. I had a pretty,new firebird... and it had those type lights ... i barely bumped into a woman's car in front of me..on the clogged, crawling L.A. Freeway.. the Santa Monica Freeway..and we got out and looked...nothing on her bumper. BUT ONE OF MY LIGHTS *WOULDN'T POP BACK DOWN.* YAH. SO... I HAD TO GO THRU ALL THIS MUCK TO FIX IT. THERE WAS NO SCRATCH OR DENT ON EITHER OF OUR CARS. WE WERE GOING SO SLOW.... I BARELY TAPPED HER. ANYHOW...I WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER CAR WITH POP UP- HIDDEN LIGHTS. WHATA MESS. AND PLASTIC BUMPERS ARE BULLSHT. THEY ONLY DID THAT TO HAVE A HUGE AFTER MARKET TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BUMPER WHEREAS A STEEL BUMPER NEVER MAKE A DENT. SO.... I HATED THAT CHANGEOVER. IT STILL SUCKS. *BUT I DID ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO DRIVE THE DAYTONA.. REALLY GREAT WHEELS!!!* NOW...I *HAVE TO HAVE* A *GTC4 V12 LUSSO*

[@peterbuckley5467]

Some great roads around the Cat and Fiddle.

[@mattbindon]

Hi all, does anyone know which road it is with the new tarmac and silver crash barrier. Need to plan my next road trip and that looks amazing. I know it’s around the cat and fiddle but would love some details.

[@mike390099]

How is it that there is absolutely no traffic on the roads when they and Too Gear shoot these ? Do they close the roads off ?

[@sebastienrobert5179]

I love this old Daytona 365 the most iconic car back in day and the engine is a V12 and the price is insane better expensive than some brand new Ferrari! What a car

[@blaw11b]

The 365 GTB is a beautiful car with monster performance BUT, it was not the fastest production car of its time. That honor went to the 1969 Corvette Stingray L88 427. The factory claimed 430bhp, individual dyno's but at 550 bhp 0-100km at 4.5 sec 13.6 sec 1/4 mile and a top speed of 291 km( 181 mph). The Daytona ran 0-100km in 5.5 sec 1/4mile in 13.6 and a top speed of 280km( 174 mph).

[@2702simmo]

You’d need both. Simple You can’t compare cars from different eras Both excel in their own way The Daytona couldn’t compare to the 599 but a step in the Daytona would have sensations and feel the 599 couldn’t offer Love them both

[@ovenorway]

Anyone else skipped the 599, just to see the fabulous Daytona ?

[@Driftuner]

video games sounds evolved so much in the past years, that now a GTO sounds almost "fake" to my ears LOL

[@Fioravanti.80]

Wow, I thought the Daytona would weigh more than 1200kgs. The reports on the driving experience were that it felt heavy and cumbersone.

[@siler7]

Yeah, it's hard to imagine it being that light. I was very surprised.

[@matthewlange8616]

Daytona is more like 1500kg than the 1250kg dry Ferrari quoted.

[@ingocernohorsky]

Is that the same Daytona which Richard Hammond drove once in TopGear?

[@888mf4]

Nice content guys. Think I would buy an F12 for £160k and add an aftermarket exhaust.

[@imadtanouticonta]

Great car for the money.

[@susannedugas8219]

Given the nature of your retrospective look, it's absolutely amazing that the run-of-the-mill GTC4 Lusso runs so closely to the 599 GTO, even more so compared to the bread-and-butter 599 Fiorano. Given that the universe of Lusso builds is now closed, and with its pricing fallen like leaves in Fall, the Lusso V12 remains, in my obviously biased opinion, the best of the modern Ferrari.

[@paulthomson9014]

I think the lusso looks horrendous. I've heard it's a great car but I just hate it's looks and I feel the same way about every current ferrari to .

[@andrewlucas6214]

Having grown up in the 70’s, I loved the Daytona but, the boxer was always my favorite. Mid mounted flat twelve and bulging in arches was much more of an event than the pretty Daytona. As for modern Ferraris, the Enzo does the same as the boxer in appearance whereas the 599 at a glance could be a Toyota. The grey paint doesn’t help.

[@Diecastclassicist]

Great title!

[@Philcopson]

Daytona engines obviously got tuned in different ways/outputs by different owners/teams, but they were good for 184 down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans.

[@I999-g2s]

A classic Ferrari in blue - bliss

[@vibingwithvinyl]

I'd take that Daytona every time. I prefer older cars in general, and you could have a fun with the Daytona at much lower speeds than the 599.

[@supercar.driver]

The Daytona is GORGEOUS - but that 599 just screams! There is no sound like it.

[@chriskappert1365]

That magnificent Daytona , every day !

[@jonesjonz1]

Very nice video. I need that 599GTO my right foot requires it. Daytona never did it for me, always thought it was missing something visually. The 599 looks better than the Superfast to me, but I think the F12 looks better than both recent hyper GT's.

[@robertopiedimonte2078]

Thanks for the truth about Miura! Daytona along 275 and all 250 series including original GTO, 288 GTO and mighty F40 are my favorite Ferrari, but 599 and subsequent ones to this GTO are testament of elegant, sculpted power coming from Maranello, land of engines God (the one that hold an inverted piston full of Lambrusco, a discutibile wine loved in that area of Italy)!!! Modern Ferrari add to aesthetic aerodynamic function and minimize pollution to nothing plus introduce electronic to let you drive 3 times more power up to "thousand" horsepower, let me mention 458 between the others, always in Ferrari's personal way : as many collectors use to say Porsche and other automakers could be fast, fastest, but no one else car has a soul to connect to as a Ferrari have ! Hope they'll keep this attitude in the forthcoming production with a special eye on Purosangue!!! Freedom everyone!!! Bye

[@josephjewellers]

Wow 🤩

[@edoardodisetti4798]

Like the other video (330 2+2 and gtc4lusso) , this video is totally mesmerising. I own the Gtc4Lusso, but my dream is to get the 330....a real masterpiece.....And perhaps the Daytona for some crazy rides on my beloved Italian alps....Well, I should sell my Gtc4 Lusso.....and probably my house to get the funds for the 2 beauties......ok.....deal!!!!!!

[@fxmixer]

So the GTO is a better modern Ferrari than the TdF?

[@mm-vs1zt]

Imo, i'll still prefer the tdf over the 812 limited edition when it comes out, i guess the bloke has a bias for the GTO as i'd do for the tdf.

[@waynemarlow8157]

The Daytona! The GTO would be too fast for me; the 365 would be a hoot!

[@waynemarlow8157]

As a footnote. Someone please compare as Aston DBSv8 with a Daytona; same period and similar performance!

[@aw11man26]

Daytona all day every day. It is gorgeous and screams old school class, but in Spider form for me

[@simeonorive145]

The story I have heard about why the factory did not use the name "Daytona" was a young American journalist was leaked the news Enzo planned on naming it that and wrote about it before the release date sending Enzo into a fit and therefore it was not named the Daytona officialy. Although that could be a fable sounds about right to me though.

[@Stacky18]

The 599 was the most disappointing GTO for me. It lacked something I cant quite work out, it lacked some sort of magic or mystique for me. It just wasnt exotic looking for me. Slowly its starting to appeal to me but there is still a long way to go. Maybe in another 10 years I will grow to appreciate it

[@supercar.driver]

It’s already there for us! Up there with the best. It’s absolutely ballistic!

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!!!!!

They are both hard to get parts for. The Daytona is a little farm implement under the skin.In typical Italian Fashion , what you see is beautiful , what you don't see. A little crude. The Daytona is getting old I mean the Aluminum of that era decays from the inside out ask any Alfa owner with a porous cylinder head. All Factors , factored in I'd take the modern Ferrari. The Daytona was always a Dream Ferrari. It is better that way 50 years later.

[@onoriomacari3178]

Silly question. one u can use the other is a museum piece. If u had drive the daytona every day u would soon get fed up! unreliable, no power steering, service every 3000 miles. Its ok for a drive out but not for every day use.

1. Is that a Yorkshire accent? Trying to learn how to distinguish between British accents. 2. I've always thought the rear, interior, and sound of the Daytona were very nice, while the front is one of the least attractive ever put on a Ferrari. 3. Shocking to hear that the Daytona is only 1250 kilos. That 599 must be a nightmare in the city. 4. Is it just about as simple as, the 599 GTO is a GTB that can get on and off of meth at a moment's notice?
