Ferrari F355 GTS - The Sound of the 90s | Supercar Driver 

This is a very well made video of a superb car.

Half the power and 10x the sound...oh god that noise gives me goosebumps

1 - The cinematography is sublime 2 - The car is everything 3 - The sound is symphonic 4 - A brilliant summary of what these cars are about I’ve stopped going to ‘car meets’ as people veer towards ‘what’s the most expensive’ or, full of people who’ve all the money but no taste (ie - new Lamborghinis in fluorescent colours and equally awful interiors etc etc) my F355 sits quietly in the corner I’m not a rich guy - I’ve saved long and hard for my car. I don’t have a big garage, so my wife’s stuff shares the space - lots of stuff stored in front of it, to the side of it and even the lighter stuff on top of it. It takes me 30 - 40mins to get my car out - so when I do, it’s because I miss driving it and all the hard work makes it that lil bit sweeter 😎

My brother, a wealthy self-made man, had one in bright yellow. Used to go shopping to Tesco with his husky on the seat beside him. Glorious, glorious car.

Wedge with the perfect amount of slight curve. Thank you, Pininfarina.

Im a simple man, I see F355 I press like!

The 355 has been my favourite car ever since I was a teenager, I still drop my jaw and gasp every time I see one, be it on TV, in a magazine or in the flesh, the best looking car I've ever seen to date. Thanks for sharing 👍

These 5 valve per cylinder cars have a unique sound. Let's not forget why the f355 was such a success though, it was down to two things, firstly how disappointing the 348 was, but more importantly, how the 1990 NSX massively showed up Ferrari. Honda forced Ferrari to pull their finger out.

The sound it makes is absolutely gorgeous!

I remember the Performance Car mag review of this machine when it came out. The headline was: 'Ferrari's £84,000 Bargain'. Just one of the prettiest and most glorious cars of all time.

This era of Ferrari, and for their part, the Porsche 930 editions, to me were the pinnacle, and have yet to be surpassed in beauty and design.

If my mother, had played the sound of this car continually before I was born? I'd be a 3X formula 1 champion by now!

I remember the original test video of the 355 by Jeremy Clarkson on top gear. He described it as the best car he had ever driven at the time and subsequently went out and bought one. I’ve loved it ever since. It’s an incredibly simple, beautiful design. Thanks for the brilliant video.

Damn this Ferrari may be the best sounding road Ferrari of all time!

What a wonderful Sound!!! Thanks a Lot for This Video.

Even now, this and the F40 are still my favorites. Great video!

Best sounding car, EVER!

Yes!!!! Love my 355 🥰🥰🥰🥰

That first clip made me go- that IS the sound of the nineties

Great car. I hired a 355 for a weekend trip to Dorset in the early 2000s and loved it. More engaging that the modern equivalent and sounds so much better than any turbo charged motor.

5:10 - heaven to my ears, thank me later.

355 becoming the perfect car for UK roads exactly as you said, don't need more than 400bhp! always loved these.

This and the F40 are perfection! Who cares if it’s not as fast as the new ones, must be 10 times more fun.

Three things come to mind after enjoying this great video: 1) well done! 2) that Blu Pozzi livery is stunning 3) I wish journalists would stop bashing the F1 gearbox and the 348. It’s getting really old. I currently own a ‘92 348ts, a ‘94 F355 GTS (manual) and a ‘98 355 spider (F1). I love them all equally because they all offer a different driving experience.

What a dream. The best looking car made in my lifetime. The first Ferrari I ever had a ride in and the first one on my list...in this spec too. Utterly perfect. If the ownership/maintenance wasn’t so expensive, it would be in the garage already!

F355, 275GTB, 575 M, F40... beautiful cars, nice sounds :perfect Ferrari.

Agree with JayEmm really cool filming, and that sound, Wowzer!! 👍👍

Sending out my best wishes to Matt, Jonty and all your filming crew. You have done it again guys!

Damn that sound gave me goosebumps throughout the video. Great job guys!

In love with this car

I love mine, even with OEM exhaust/manifolds: it is quieter, more subtle, but still, you can hear the howl and the scream. The steering is feel-some enough for me, because the chassis dynamics is so good.

One of the best sounding V8 Ferraris ever

Man that sounds UH-MAY-ZING!!! 🔥

Fantastic, what a sound. And the lines are so simple, just gorgeous.

MY EARS FEEL BLESSED. THANKS MATE

That does sound bloody good😎

The best sounding car in the world

Folk will be on Piston heads tonight....nicely done Matt👍😎🏎

This is EASILY one of the best sounding exhausts we sell. Mega video lads!

MY DREAM CAR

MY TRUE DREAM CAR...will buy this over a 360,430,458 or any other models ABOVE.

Best sounding car ever made

Ferrari f355 looks and sounds amazing. My favourite all time car👍

B E A U T Y! What a magnificent and pure sound from that V8! N/A forever!

The most beautiful car in the world

When this car is running, it sounds amazing!

Yep,half the power and half of the good looks!!😊

I remember a spirited drive behind a 355 Spider in my Boxster S back in 2006 over the Moors by Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire. What a sound and view. Great classic modern day Ferrari..

It’s amazing what can be achieved on a production budget nowhere near a major broadcaster. This video is slick as hell, really well done!

Pop up headlights really need to comeback.

My teenage poster car! Still looks and sounds beautiful! Great cinematography & review 👏

Everything about this video is amazing, I'll immediatelly re-watch it again! Well done!

Thanks for another cracking video Matt. What a sound that thing makes!!!! 😜

What other 90s icons would you like to see featured on the channel? 👇

One day I hope I'll own one of these, my absolute favourite car of all time, that sound oh my god

Back in 2000 I had the good fortune to hoon a 355 and a 360 round Thruxton. Both great car's. The 355 is way prettier but the 360 was just on a different planet to drive. I've still got the video somewhere 👍👍

Another lovely video. I remember seeing movie The rock with Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage? That car chase with Ferrari 355 and Hummer H1 is epic!

Queen of hearts ♥️

Absolutely amazing, thanks for the channel.

OMG. That noise.

Oh how I love the 355 😍 Nice one Matt. 👍

Great job on this review. Very well done. This sounds so amazing. Definitely the right exhaust choice. Gated manuals are truly special.

Ferrari 355 + Synthwave = Pure Happiness

Such an elegant car. I reckon the GTS is the best one to get too. And blue with cream. This is a lovely example. Love the simplicity inside & out, the steering wheel & gearknob are gorgeously inviting.

The most beautiful Ferrari ever made. And the second most beautiful car ever made. IMO

Half the power yes but also half the weight and it does look exciting

Excellent video! I had high expectations and you guys delivered.

Beautiful is an understatement.

Love this ride.

Still one of my favourite cars of all time. Utterly superb video. Thanks

Best sound ever goosebumps all the way

Best looking and sounding Ferrari ever made

Even with the stock exhaust this is the best V8 sounding engine ever

As of now I have an expression of happiness on my face :) That sound is awesome :) Thank you for sharing the video :) And thank you for remembering this car :)

Such a great sound

The 355 is glorious! And the sound of that thing is on par with anything I've ever heard. The 355 and the 458 are my all time favorites of the rear engine V8 Ferraris. The 488 and the F8 are faster and are amazing machines no doubt. However from my perspective they don't hold a candle to the 355 or the 458 in either looks or engines. I'll take the free revving naturally aspirated engines in the 355 and 458 over the turbo engines in the 488 and F8 any day. And in the looks department there is no comparison. The 355 and 458 have a timeless beauty and elegance that the busier styling of the 488 and F8 can never compare to. Those cars have presence but so do the 355 and 458, while also being absolutely gorgeous at the same time.

I don't know about anyone else young like me who genuinely has the biggest smile when I see cars like this and the whole time watching this video I was having a mental breakdown over how good it sounds. This is a proper ferrari, not just exciting because its fast and has 1000hp, but because how it sounds and how it is to drive. I don't want one of these...I need one. Thank you for making this video.

You do a great job of filtering out the noise from fast cars. I think everyone has started to appreciate the experience of cars like this. Well done.

Perfection, just perfection. Great video.

I only have lovely and beautiful memories of my father's red F355 GTS mk1 with red top. So smooth, so sleek. I remember turning it on in the garage just to keep the engine clean... 💞 Good old days!

I loved my F355 F1 Spider. Looking forward to picking up a 6spd GTB sometime in the future.

Beautiful machine. That sound 😮👌

Even today, it is a beautiful Ferrari!!!

Hell yeah, this is stunning work! I'm glad I came across this channel, because you really get it, and you have the talent to communicate that.

I would have loved to have heard that in Winnats Pass.

I think that sounds even more glorious than the 458 I drove a year ago and thats saying something. A true classic.

Driving to the countryside in a Ferrari...absolute pleasure!!!congrats great video!!!

We're right where a generation will be born into a world without automotive drama like this, its fading, don't get me wrong performance and speed remain...but soul and drama, a high revving Ferrari exhaust it's going out of vogue...how incredibly sad. I have a 2000 360 and as it ticks up in value it's tempting to let go, but the sounds it makes (mine has full performance exhaust), the way it feels in the hands, the joy of knowing the entire point of the car is to produce goose bumps every single time you drive it, and it does, it's a magical thing (mine being a bit further down the road of tech than 355). Just magic, it's impossible to understand until you've driven one, in my case owned one.

The F355 and the Lexus LFA, are the best sounding cars.

Have always loved the 355 just something about it 👌👌👌

In my opinion the nicest Ferrari ever made and with a manual it’s my bucket list car

I’ll own one of these in 2 years 🥹🥹🥹

I think I may have suffered 70% hearing loss as a result of this video. But it's worth it for that sound.

Great review. The F355 is very special. One of the greatest, the feel, the noise. I've run one for over 12 years. A keeper.

Great video! Loved it!

I like my original steering wheel, it is style of the 90s. No probs at all since 14 years of owning my beloved F355 GTS. The momo is like a foreign body.

The 355 was the mandated Ferrari. The gulf in performance and technology between the NSX and the 348 was prodigious. It should be called the Luca. Easily the shrillist-sounding powerplant ever made. When it came out the stat sheet was mind-boggling. A functioning F1 box is still a nice diversion.

Great video, and the car is utterly glorious! More desirable to me than an F8 (or anything else modern) could ever be!

Once saw two of these racing each other as they left a Brands hatch meeting. They really do sound like this when they're going for it ! Absolutely gorgeous ! How many other cars sounds would still be in your consciousness some twenty odd years later ?!

I have owned three Ferraris, a 308 GTS QV, (121,000 trouble fee miles of thrashing) a 355 B (11,000 miles of thrashing in 11 months) and a 550 GTB (112,000 miles of thrashing in 12 years). Ultimately they all had strengths and weaknesses but the 355 had the worst weaknesses of the three unfortunately,. Firstly it had a terribly over servoed steering with a school bus ratio of 3.5 which should have been 2 0, it had massively over-servoed brakes (for USA starlets in high heels) that prevented spirited heel and toe, the ugliest steering wheel since the Austin Allegro and terrible acoustic management in its cabin which caused so much background noise that it actually drowned out engine noise unless you were driving continuously at 140 mph which sadly meant Germany only if you were going to keep your licence. That said, I wished now that I had simply modified all of those faults "out" and kept it because it could have been the best of the three with a (actually quite) a bit of work. Ultimately though (and only real drivers will relate to this) the replacement of a Five speed box with a Six speed was a terrible decision even if it added a bit of (never used unless you live in Germany) top speed. A five speed gated box with a dog leg first is the ultimate sex toy of real performance driving, and it is the mark of a real driver to know why. If you don't, then you certainly ain't one.
