yes. its worth it because the possible profit of owning the new hypercar. it should be a privilege to be able to earn the chance to buy a car u can re-sell for 1-3 millions more even after 10 years. this is why it makes sense for Ferrari to reward its loyal customers. because so much demand for Ferraris in general. 3 year wait list atm. they are basically giving them a chance to make alot of money selling their cars even after owning it
@@Brian.Jones.310 all the cars tim has been buying in the last year or two are Ferraris. He has every model they now offer. The Ford's are just cheaper models that he doesn't mind putting Miles on. The dark horse ir older cars.. Have you been paying any attention at all except for the zenvo all expensive Ferraris. Not coincidence I think
I’m not gonna lie, this grew on me but it definitely shouldn’t be an 812 replacement. It should be its own standalone model because the 812 still looks very fresh.
I bought a brand new Mazda 3 this morning and I'm excited af to get it, I can't imagine the excitement for that kind of car ... Congrats Shmee ! From a very long time viewer
I still hold the opinion that you and 812 is a love story. It will certainly happen. Maybe on a random day you'd be casually looking at cars to buy on your laptop and you'd find an 812 that makes complete sense
@@cjvaans4484for him is an opportunity to get closer to the inner circle within Ferrari. More valuable to buy new and continue to develop the relationship. Get more exposure to events, reveals, and critically, allocations.
I think one more Ferrari and I feel the same. They’re all the same thing. While I’m not that impressed with Ferraris I expect Tim to have one. But this is getting boring
Go out from your cave and see the world, just because they don’t have a RU-vid channel doesn’t mean they don’t exist. There are Ferrari collectors out there that Shmee can’t even carry their jock straps and they plan to keep it that way.
No matter whether they launched at the same time or not, no matter if the numbers will be close, the Spider will depreciate a lot less than the coupé. All things considered, there are almost as many 812 GTS as there are Superfast. Remember that the GTS was on the production line for much longer. So I think the fear you originally had with the 812 depreciation, is something you still need to consider with this. But if a coupé is what you want, go with that . Just be mindful that this will be the more depreciating car and it might also affect what you are allocated in terms of VS cars in the future. Not by much, but Spiders do mean more typically.
@@mikestanley5919 Doesn't mean that he will be keeping all the existing Ferrari's once all the 3 arrives. Also, a Mustang GTD announcement is around the corner.
A nice kick in the (mechanical) balls for the Roma Spider and it's not even built yet. Why would you drive that when you have this with a front-engined V12? Mind you, we all know you're just buying these cars because you're after the LaFerrari successor...
The 12Cilindri customer deliveries still haven't started and Tim ordered the Spider variant which will take some time to build. So he will have time to drive the Roma Spider. Edit: Correction, he is ordering the 12Cilindri coupé.
Finally. Welcome to the club. The only way to really appreciate this is to have owned the 12 cyl cars starting with the TDF. That, was a disruptor and the GTS and Comp that followed took the game even further. No doubt this will move the goal post yet again but the journey deepens the appreciation of what ONLY Ferrari can do.
So Shmee currently has the 296, the SF90, the Purosangue, with the 12Cilindri and the SF90XX on order... I know it's been said before probably hundreds of times in the comments now but... someones aiming at getting an allocation for the next ferrari hypercar
Currently he own 3 Ferrari's, Roma Spider will make it 4. SF90 XX Stradale will replace the SF90 Stradale and once the 12Cilindri arrives he might sell the Roma Spider. There are more Ferrari customers that are ahead of Tim to get the F250 codenamed hypercar allocation.
@@archrodney I wasn't quite sure what he meant by that, as in whether it's an actual color/shade he hasn't had before or just a specific color code/name. If it was to be yellow I'd imagine he'd go with giallo triplo strato, as he frequently talks about how much he loves that color
@@Brian.Jones.310 but he is Gordon Ramsay... If I'm not mistaken, he has been a regular Ferrari customer for much longer than Shmee since he got an allocation for F12 TDF
Eh, it's his car, though. Just like Tim, I personally think the coupe looks better. It also objectively has more cargo space, meaning it's easier to use on road trips, which is what he's planning to do. There's always going to be tradeoffs with these kinds of decisions.
@@patrickbaratz7135 Im also a fan of the look of the Convertible... and it would be truly a miss if this Convertible has the rear window you can put down to here that glorious V12 scream
@@CaseyCollier he’s road tripped in car with a lot less trunk space so even the convertible would have plenty of of room. His car his decision I just don’t think it’s the best decision even more because it’s a road trip car not a track car like the sf90xx where a coupe makes more sense.
I am, & certainly many other viewer/subscribers would be, getting even closer to disowning your content now. You sucking up to furrari buying what is essentially recent garbage compared to glorious V8 & V12 of a few years ago is simply appalling. Losing respect for you.
I am noticing a pattern with you people, these type of comments are always made when the brand is Ferrari, meanwhile other brands like Porsche, Lamborghini, McLaren, Ford and many more also do the same to allocate a special car. He is still buying a V12 and V8 Ferrari, proper cars with proper engines instead of having to buy three EV's to get a special car! 🤦♂️
@@jordanbeltron5440 GTR isn't really that much special or it's limited in production. If you think about something along the lines of 2016-17 Ford GT, people did buy the 05 GT, plenty of Mustang's, Focus RS and F150's as per the advice of Ford dealers just for Ford to deny them an allocation. Or the more famous three Taycan's to get a GT3 RS, a 720S to get a Senna and my favourite, it's from 1988, a LM002 to get a 25th anniversary Countach.
@@supersharpblades5673 fail to see any relevance to my comment with your reply. Simply stating that Ferrari make you buy these 'lesser' cars in order to get an allocation for the top line cars. Guessing shmee wants a shot at the upcoming flagship car
Gorgeous!! This may be my favorite Ferrari release in a LONG time. Resembles the Daytona of the past in a subtle, yet recognizable way. Also, love that they used a NA V12 on this one.
In order to buy his Daytona Shmee has to buy this weird looking thing (looks like a souped up Civic), and the Roma Spider, and the SF90 Stradale, probably the weakest resale Ferrari since the California.
@@thatguy4noreason I think he said he got a spot. If not, it does seem he is going for the next hyper car. Most of his Ferraris are amongst the marque's weakest sellers and exactly the models Ferrari pushes to 'new' collectors. The video here claims he never saw the 12Cilindri before and he already ordered one - i.e. he had to.
@@yehoshuafeldman6047Daytona SP3 allocations closed two years ago and the upcoming hypercar allocations closed earlier this year. Tim isn't on the allocation list for both cars. Also, he had seen the 12Cilindri but not in person as the car was unveiled before Goodwood FOS and Tim has only ordered after looking at it.
I don’t have to see this car in person to appreciate its presence. It’s a Ferrari with the pedigree of its namesake. It’s a beautiful automobile but if you squint just the right way you’ll see a modern day Pontiac.
Tim, whilst I think the 296 is a beautiful shape, this car is the best looking IMHO the best looking Ferrari in decades. I think you will have ordered a yellow car, harking back to Daytona and Dino. A light colour will certainly accentuate the lines and the Daytona look. Enjoy the anticipation and the car.
Anyone spending on a brand means they are interested in the brand and their cars, Tim is interested in Ferrari's, so he's buying their cars. He also did the same with AMG and McLaren.
Tim I love you, congrats!! But this is Verde Toscana. Verde Volterra is one of the 5 Cavalcade exclusive colors and the colour of David Lee’s 812 Competizione Aperta which you also did a video on. Can’t wait to see your final spec!!
Imo most if not every front engined Ferrari before this had a cooler name, 575 Maranello, 599 GTB/GTO, F12 Berlinetta, 812 superfast Compare that to Ferrari 12Cilindiri.. Also the f12 was the best looking one they ever made imo
That colour against the tan leather is a stunning contrast, I’m not a spider guy over coupe but if I could ever own a car like this I’d choose the spider I think.
