Chris Harris - Quick Steer | The Ferrari F50 | Living Up to The F40? 

Harris.. that beard is HORRENDOUS! It’s unkempt and it makes you look 15 years older than you are. Get rid of it!! Now!!

You are forgiven, good sir. Keep up the stellar work.

Bro only 12yr old and Ferrari merch owners care.

Tsk Tsk Monkey. Now you owe me a F50

@HarrisMonkey - always good to see you behind the wheel, especially when it's ones of the best cars ever. We need a 20 min video of this.

Oh God that was 10 years ago !

I hope your mom are healthy today🤞

That wasn't 10 years ago surely!!!!!!

​@@ebbs0000it was, man how the days are long and the years are short.

No way that was 10 yrs ago

Great video that was

@@BangAverageRider Yup. Its saved next to Chris, Marino and the nut case thats Tiff Needell driving the holy trinity.

Wonder if CH will have a different outlook on the F50 as time has passed... looking fwd to this

​@@neillaw9867near those, in my list, is Tiff vs Sutcliff in the MP4-12C and the Huayra.

Same here. I watch that f40/f50 video randomly time to time.

Exactly. After that it all went downhill fast

You took words out of my mouth... I was born in 2000, and for me the 90s and early 2000s were the Greatest Era of automotive world. I grew up with Lamborghini Murcielago, Diablo GTR, First Gen Viper, McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, Porsche carrera GT, Pagani Zonda F, Bugatti Veyron... Not to mention Original top gear show and the Beautiful age of Formula 1. Along with racing games like Need for speed. IT WAS THE GOLDEN AGE. Now it's just.... "Better" in a practical way, but there are no emotions

same..I had a copy of Motor Trend or Car and Driver with a Yellow F50 on the cover. I stared at that car for hours.

Same.. Need for speed 2 made me fall in love with this car

Same. That Shell commercial from the 90's made the F50 my favorite super car even today.

All of my friends said the f40 was better. What did we know, we only drove hondas and Pontiacs?I always thought this one was the best. The look, the sound. Of all the Ferrari, this is the one for me.

Same had 3 F50 toy models

We're glad you enjoyed it!

Read that article more than once. Just one of the best car stories ever put on paper.

If you think about it from a driver's perspective, it's just a given. An amazing old school Ferrari V12, lightweight chassis, pure and analog, engine mounted as a stress member so you can *feel* the revs, targa roof panels so you can *hear* all of that exhaust, spiritual evolution of the near-perfect F40 with a better engine and better overall build and finish. Plus some fitted luggage so it has the ability to do a weekend trip or something. The 288 and F40 I love so much but they're compromised and no where near as visceral. The Enzo I love but it's full of dated tech and has a let down of a gearbox.

​@@Emira_75 F40 nowhere near as visceral as the F50? Com'on man, I'll give you the other stuff, but not that.

@@overbuiltlimited Turbos really do muffle the drama..

I hope you're doing better now pal

Keep strong, my friend.

Hope you make it through bruv

I hope things are feeling better, little by little.

Just watched the vid. Lol

We're glad you enjoyed it!

We're glad you enjoyed it!

Came here to say the same thing. A little bit too much talking while at 2k rpm and not at much higher. You can't ignore the value of the car though...

He has stuck it to cars that are for sale. Never trashed a car that's for sale but if he feels like saying something, he will. He is Chris Harris.

We've got a more coming up from Chris giving it the 'big one'. Stay tuned.

Same. Plus it looks way better imho. Even that lateral black line/recess is fantastic, Not to mention how the wing flows into the bodywork.

F40 is overrated, that is why u and i liked F50. Actually, mostly status conscious people or newrichs who didn't know wealth, class, taste and cars liked F40.

Looks for me won me over as kid back in 1989 when I discovered the F40

@@ALPacinoGuy I wouldn't say the f40 is overrated - it's still a great generational car. It's moreso that the f50 is underrated.

@@ALPacinoGuyand the award for the most pretentious comment goes to you!! Ironic as you’ve tried to target the only people who like the F40 as being pretentious and unknowledgeable!

F50 GT is even more impressive

Got to admit the same, except I still think it’s ugly. This has to be one of the worst looking Ferraris imo.

​@@nintendive, the F40 and the F50 are some of the most polarizing designs Ferrari has ever made. For me, the F40 is the ugliest (thanks to its depressed looking 'face'), and the F50 is one of the prettiest.

@@flyingphoenix113 man check your eyes wtf the f40 is literally the perfect design lol

@@lucasocanto58you cray, the f50 way better looking, f40 isn’t ugly imo but if someone thinks so I also don’t disagree

You thought it was ugly because you're a media fan boy. Only now that the media says it's not ugly, you change your opinion. Try thinking for yourself.

It’s an advertisement not a video

Watch the bit at the end of the video

They should bring in the guys from Throttle House.

We couldn't agree more!

Yes! It was even featured on the cover of the game. So Iconic

Same here bro. NFS II is the game that injected me with Car Love

F50 was my first scale model, NFS hot pursuit 2 made me love McLaren F1, and just growing up in early 2000s made me adore Porsche carrera GT. These 3 are my favorite cars of all time ❤

f50 is too ugly

Agreed. Much more

The F40 was lighter, but like you said less refined. The F50 is more aerodynamic and more rigid, thats why they were able to make it Targa.

We're glad you enjoyed it!

For me cars went to shit after 2010s

So Proud South Africa had a hand in that wonderful 3 seater

The only brand I compare to Ferrari is Alfa Romeo by the way they dominate in races, after so many years I can accept Porsche (even if they cook same burger from decades) or understand Bugatti's hypercars cause her heritage, I can derail with Corvette an american (cheap) myth, but I can't tollerate McLaren, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg and the others just for (supposed) performance without any background !!! When persons have ideas and values BMW learned the hard way with M1. Countach was a fantastic poster car that in real life try to fly the front end after 230 Km/h like did it before the Miura, so pushed to the limit no match fore Ferrari Daytona or BB, not to mention that they descend from farming equipment as Jonh Deere...

@@robertopiedimonte2078 Mclaren? Performance without background??? The founder raced in formula 1 in the 60s and then made his own team. It's one of the most successful teams in Formula 1 history! They then used their knowledge to build arguably the defining hypercar that held the top speed record for nearly 2 decades, until a car with almost twice the horsepower came along to brute-force it. (oh, and it was originally styled as a Seat prototype race car, look it up!) Lamborghini? Enzo wouldn't sell him a ferrari, so he made his own! The Muira and Countach are some of the most iconic cars around. It's very existence is a middle finger to Ferrari, which I kinda love...and that V12 is legendary, especially in LP640 guise in the Murcielago! Alfa are very much a shadow of their former selves. Anyone who still idolises them is stuck in the past. Ever since the 80s, they've struggled to produce decent cars. They may have the odd flash-in-the-pan moment of brilliance (Giulia QV, 8C competizione, 156 GTA, 164 QV etc) but their hey-day is long gone. They haven't competed in motorsport for decades (their current F1 outfit doesn't count as it's just a badging and commercial exercise with Sauber)

Same, F50 is more special car.

F40 looks better, inside and out, but the F50 is the better car.

​@@boostav no it doesn't. F50 look better and the interior didn't aged like the F40.

F50-GT1 >

I think it's perfect. The thing nobody talks about with the F1 is that it's quite understeery thanks to how much power it has. The car had more power than its 90's tires could handle, so McLaren softened the rear suspension to make the car more manageable (and in so doing, unfortunately, ruining the handling balance). The F50 has the perfect balance of power and grip. It could be a bit lighter, yes, but otherwise, it's perfect.

@@flyingphoenix113 that's the reason why I said I'd have one over a 40. It's just not how the supercar game was played. Really, it still isn't. Who's got the biggest "knob"? If the 50 had matched the size and weight of the F1, along with being properly pretty, there would have been no question as to it status.

​@@flyingphoenix113imagine the trouser painting you'd make after experiencing some unexpected understeer in an F1 at their prices

@@R03333, I think that's why they're rarely driven hard unless it's on a track with lots of runoff. It's just too valuable to risk an accident. That said, the mixture of sudden onset understeer and snap oversteer have mated quite a few F1s with the nearest compatible tree. 😬

topspeed is only for bragging rights. the feel on the road and the theatre is what really matters. hardly anyone hits topspeed in these sort of cars

@@briangriffith3985 Yeah but when your a teenager bragging rights mean a lot. Especially when Mclaren and Lamborghini fans wind you up about it

@@hugoagogo9435 yes true. then later in life you perspective change. when i was small i loved the Diablo from the first time i saw it. nobody does supercar like lambo

F50 is also more rigid and has room for larger tires. The car just has more potential.

Yes.. please explain how a "few adjustments" can extract an extra 200hp+ from a relatively small NA 4.7 L motor? How would you do it?

​@@papa_pttwin turbo

@@papa_pt Camshaft, pistons, forced induction. But it would cost $20k

@@ByronWWW yup...small adjustments lol
