Joey O'Brien : agreed...also Harry from Harry's Garage is great doing down to earth car reviews

Tiff Needell is another good one. Would love to see a showdown between the 2 lol

@@LuisMendez-ki5bm they did do it a couple of times

@@rohitchowdary27 really? I'm gonna look for it. Thanks!

Lol: Clever😂😂👌

That's what I was thinking with my rx7

Old but gold

made my day 😊 thx

How is a turbo a "gimmick"? Think you need to look up the definition.

he was referring to an imported car.....

Blah blah blah..go replace the fart can on your civic

yes now the zombies woke up and see that gear change in 00.1 is good on paper but when they brake and all do its a 5000-20.000 euro fix on this cars..better raise the idle on a manual😂

robert gorham Shaddup

@@mayamanign 😂😂😂😂 lol..shut cup..lol

Rohan Scott I don’t know. Have you heard Madonna shreiking against President Trump at the pussy hat parade?

Any V12 Ferrari sounds fantastic

the rs also doubled in value

What's so impressive? My Ferrari clutch went at 23k miles...that's pathetically low for a modern clutch and i hardly did hard launches.

His gt3 rs 4.0 was worth more then the 599 so it was cheap in relative terms

Luckily in europe prices are more agreeable!

Have a look at the description, the Porsche was on finance apparently. And I imagine so is this Ferrari.

sauberbeast And that matters because?

dlhussain81 Uh because there is a difference buying a car outright and buying it on finance..

me too, I just bought one in the same exact colour!

Lol muscle car? This looks like a supra

u mean chic not luxery

Perhaps more lucrative (as he well deserves), but not "better". *cough-top gear-cough*

If you want to read why Chris will probably not be invited to drive a factory Ferrari you should search "How Ferrari Spins" for his Jalopnik article. Well written & cheeky but I do not think Maranello was all too amused...

Well said papapetad!!!

+okumonux because those who can actually afford to buy a ferrari dont give a rat's ass about stick. they just show off. And the real car nuts like me can just dream of having one.

Manual 599's go for 300.000 euros min

+Novac Emil If he had kept the GT3 RS 4.0 he could get like $500k for it now.

Make that 500K+. Crazy values of manual 599s...

sadly, Ferrari's image and mantra of late has changed from driving experience and soul to F1 and technology. i can only imagine a limited edition run of F12's with a gated stick. they would sell out in minutes but sadly, probably to collectors, not proper car nuts.

Watch his Joe Rogan podcast, he couldn't afford the 4.0's £1000 a month payments anymore so he had to sell it. Then a few months later he suddenly had the money from new jobs and thought he had always wanted the 599 so why not. He said he was annoyed with how the 4.0's price had shot up but he still made a good profit. He also said he views cars as experiences to own, so he's done the 4.0 and it was all about what was next.

He owned a 993 GT2 in the passed, one sold recently for £1.8m so i think he regrets selling that quite alot...

S Miller £1000 a month doesn't seem that crazy, that's only 20k USD/year. Every one of my seven siblings including me could afford those payments. What was the 4.0's msrp for them to be that low, unless he just got a 10 year finance plan or something.

Eli Vahaba Exactly, that is why I said 20k USD instead of 12k usd. I was adjusting for the difference in value of the GBP and USD.

Tim Tursonoff In hind site he should have gone through the effort to get a manual 599 because the values today on those are astronomical.

muscle car?

Do want

@random panda on the internet what's that supposed to.mean?

@random panda on the internet Clarkson is not in Top Gear anymore but he seems to be still one of the best, same for Chris.

***** I don't know where you live, but that's literally the exact opposite of the perception I've gotten and heard my entire life. To the point where I've literally heard women point at guys in Porsches (on multiple occasions) and say something to the effect of, "that guy must have a tiny penis."

***** You kind of proved the opposite. Ferraris are taken seriously, Porsche are common, and look like feet.

mechmat12345 I used to point and laugh every time I saw a Porsche, now I just think it's ugly. I've seen a few comments about a Porsche looking like a foot! LOL a foot!

In Italy where the car is made it's not seen as such. Typically you'll see the older gray haired man cruising through the countryside. Let's not let the punks who buy the cars to compensate for any insecurities ruin the cars, because it's not the manufacturer's fault and not in their control who buys the cars. I'm well travelled and have family in Germany and Italy, having spent considerable amounts of time in both countries. You don't see many spoiled rich kids in either country driving these cars as commonly as it is seen in America. I've been in the US for many years now. To some, the ones who are quick to judge and criticize, the young man or any many for that matter with a Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, and the like are seen as rich spoiled snobs who are just insecure. Yes there are owners like that but that shouldn't ruin the reputation of the respective makers or the drivers who legitimately drive the cars for the amazing experience they offer and can appreciate them for what they are. As it's said, let's not let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch. In this video Chris is enjoying the car the way it should be. He has acknowledged on multiple occasions the car is not practical for use in say London for example. But at the end of the day it's his money, his preference, and ultimately his choice. He and nobody else who makes purchases is not the least bit hurting any one of us. I think we have more important matters in society that are worthy of bitching about.

Dude that car is pretty much a v12 supra

Two cents*

@@pakruojezieds6065 🤣

Ian Townsend Everyone would if he has the extra money ;-)

You cant denied the Italian origin with this big ass

Than*

I see what you did there

+Hub By :D

Doug reference. Awesome.

Zzzzzzzzzzz just a foot looking Porsche...

Johnny Vigilante LOL@!

Indeed.

Well when you get to make that decision, let us know. Otherwise... lol.

Why not? I'm sure the 599 is a better all-rounder.

RS Bro LOL

At the end of the day, it's a boring Porsche. Nobody takes notice of someone owning a Porsche, but a Ferrari they do.

Josh Sullivan Absolutely correct.

And there I go thinking I have a nice car in my 11 Accord coupe lol😉

I drive a 328i as well and I know exactly how you feel XD

328 guys can joke about it. now talk to a 335 guy and they have a harder time with it.

A bmw straight 6 is one of life’s great pleasures. I own 2. Just rent a Korean 4 cylinder car. You’ll come running back to the e90.

no this life! read up how to make money

lol

+LeonRFpoa that quite a while ago, i believe 2years or so. he said ferrari unfairly prepaire their cars before journo's drive them so they give better reviews than the cars they actually sell. which is true, and not only for ferrari but multiple cars.

what on earth is a Costa?

Brady Lillington itz a car u numnut

Maybe if you spoke English instead of Chav i might be able to understand you.

English please.

HAHA! your spelling is so bad there's a 'Translate' button. Real inventive insult there! I'm so offended! :O

Jealous over Chris... they want him to only own their Porsche brand, to validated that trench foot looking junk. We are both better looking than Porsche.

"Real men..." You wouldn't know...

You know what's really fucking annoying? What's really fucking annoying is people not starting sentences properly, usually beginning "that moment when..."! Artful, what job do you do to "make bank"?

Sometimes when you want to taste the best in life money comes second. Be it a nice suit you feel good in or a Ferrari that every time you sit in and rev that engine makes all the worries go away and you feeling like a king.

bezor Ta I completely understand that. But seeing as he is someone who drives Ferraris often despite his "ban", it doesn't seem like a good idea to buy something he cannot afford.

Sal sean ahahahah make bank.

Da Ca He sure is!

It's a tasteful Ferrari, not a boring one.

He wanted a real super car and as good as Porsche is, it's no Ferrari. And this one is not for young drivers looking only for racing but rather a comfy GT for mature buyers and longer drives.

Porsches look more boring

Look more closely,

Porsches look like flattened Beetles.

Chris needs to re-adjust his thinking ... in the video he worries about putting miles on the car and ruining it's resale value ... when he should be thinking about driving the wheels off it for the next 500,000 miles and having the highest mileage supercar in the world. I know if I owned it I'd drive it everywhere for any reason.
