Absolutely in total agreement with you. Awesome level of details which make the "car" something which is an alive masterpiece. Excuse my English is this is not exactly the way British will understand it, but sounds purely what I wanted to say to me. Cheers and please continue that way. I'd love to have the same with a Pagani Zonda F or Cinque, but might be challenging isn't it? Mechanically. Ed, a French car and true mechanics enthusiast
Now, THIS, is a walkthrough. This guy has a superb media manner and should do this for every Ferrari! This is like a Doctorate-level Top Gear.....Fantastic.
The F50 is probably the greatest Ferrari. Super rare, looks beautiful and it’s probably fast as hell. I also like the F40 but there is something I can’t name in the F50 that makes it better in my opinion. Absolutely gorgeous car.
I sat in one of these at a dealer back in '97, seeing it in person really solidifies it, it's like the biggest car ever when you see it up close. And as amazing as the F50 is, it's still not my dream car, I just got my dream car, a 2011 mercedes benz SL550, because it's a reality, the F50 is not a car anyone will ever own, it's at rothschild money now.
It makes me so happy that you've used one of those to go to le mans and stuck random bags of clothes wedged in the front trunk. Thank you for that story!
Love to see a user's guide on, Porsche 959 Sport, Jaguar XJ220 S, your Miura, Ferrari 288 GTO, Ferrari Daytona, Bugatti EB110, Ruf Porsche, Lamborghini Jalpa/Silhouette, Ferrari 512TR.
Don't forget the f 50 gt 1 that they only built 3 of and were never raced. Not to mention the the new owners of these cars had to sign a contract stating they were not to be raced
Agree with all of these esp the 959, XJ220, AND EB110 and I'd add the Enzo and La Ferrari to complete the Ferrari halo models. The Carrera GT would be a great insight too assuming you've not covered it in the past
Seriously James, I have now watched every episode and I can’t get enough of your voice and the images you guys present. You managed to bring the F50 to another level, the right level!
I think it's the opposite actually, it's filmed in almost just one big take. My compliments go to the gentleman in the video explaining all the details the whole time
Incredibly informative and beautifully crafted video, as always. Loved that closing shot from *inside* the engine bay underway as well - that’s some proper eye candy.
Finally A users guide for my F50! When I bought it I was clueless to how everything worked. But now I know. Next time I load up FH5 ill know how to brighten the instrument cluster 😆
Now that is what I call unique content! What a treat, thank you. This was my childhood poster car, so a bit biased but I really like it. Congrats on selling 6 of these in 2021, must be a record..
Exceptional quality video, informative, beautiful and entertaining. The subtle but very high quality production along with the knowledge from the presenter just make the video enjoyable to watch.
1 of my all time favorite dream vehicles. Thanks for giving us a proper walk thru! Unfortunately I'll never be able to own such a thing. Just admire from afar. :-(
Great video. I especially have liked the green lighting on the two nested very large dials in the instrument cluster. Something about the design is very appealing, with the hint of yellow and red at the top of the rev range.
So glad I've covered this off just in case I decide to buy an F50. Great video and I think I feel prepared for the inevitable time I need a torch in an F50.
These videos are phenomenal and to think these are just the cars you actually show us, there's probably dozens of iconic rare cars we don't get to see. And very informative, I had no idea all F50s could be converted relatively easily to roadsters.
Having just completed my sixth viewing of this fabulous users guide, (mind you, the video came out two days ago,) I am still very impressed with the level of knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm Mr. Cottingham displays. I study all of the Ferrari Supercars in great length and detail, and I am still learning these legendary cars. Mr. Cottingham is a top ‘Professor.’ Impressive as well that a family run company continues to do things the way it should be. Naturally, I would love to see a users guide about the 288 GTO and the F40. The Ferrari Enzo and the LaFerrari would be equally as fascinating, but the manual transmission cars seem to have more ‘personality’ in some way. As always, very well done videos. Mille Grazie!
Thank you for this great video. To see the working suspension was mind blowing! Greetings from Augsburg, Germany. I'm interested in all sports cars, Carrera GT, 918, F40, Enzo, P1, LaFerrari, XJ220, 288 GTO, whatever is currently in the workshop and is too expensive for me!
Really love the elegant nerdiness on display in these user's guides! I'd be quite interested to see something similar going through the roof removal process, if you're looking for suggestions! Simply excellent content on this channel.
These videos are absolutely amazing.. please continue doing this in the first place! But if I may give a suggestion: maybe do a user guide for the Enzo + MC12 and the holy trinity? (P1, LaFerrari, Porsche 918)
Excellent video. Thanks for producing it. It really is amazing that people looked down upon this car for a time. It has aged beautifully, and the styling is so clean compared to modern Ferraris.
Great video - it’s the most detailed and up close experience that most of us will ever get to an F50. Beautiful car, it must be such a blast to drive - assuming any of the collectors who own them ever do that. In my mind Ferrari has a reputation for maintenance money pit designs; as if they just don’t care, it’s someone else’s problem. This attitude is in distinct contrast with Porsche. Until the 991s, you didn’t have to take the back end of the car apart to service the engine. My guess is, that servicing a modern Porsche is still significantly less expensive than servicing a Ferrari.
It depends: Carrera GT has a carbon fiber clutch that really tends to fail, and is tremendously expensive to be replaced. Other Porsches look more reliable and "affordable".
Great video, really enjoyed that I'm sure everyone would like to see a similar video on the other four in the supercar series, but can we please please start with the GTO?
Thank you so much for this video, as it has been very hard to find any information on forums for diy fixes for my F50. Every time I go up to my local O'Reily's they never seem to have any parts in stock. /sarcasm great video dude
Great videos. It gives the vast majority of people watching these videos, that will never have the chance to own one of these gorgeous cars, some experience in ownership.
