00:03 - Hi, I'm Billy with Automobile Magazine
00:07 and we're gonna drive the Monza 3.6 Evo.
00:09 (upbeat music)
00:12 - What?
00:14 - My seat is like way far back.
00:16 - Yeah, you gotta--
00:16 - Here, turn it off, turn it off.
00:18 Let me--
00:18 - Okay, put the gear.
00:19 (upbeat music)
00:22 - Flick down?
00:26 - Yeah, flick down to lock it.
00:27 (upbeat music)
00:30 - So, first is here.
00:31 Ready to go?
00:35 - Yep.
00:36 (car engine revving)
00:39 - Oh my God.
00:53 This is what Ferraris are about.
00:56 It's just a gem.
00:57 The powertrain just feels so smooth
00:59 and the way that the power comes on is unbelievable.
01:04 It's just all feeling and sensation.
01:06 It's amazing.
01:07 - Yeah, there's just a lot of things to program into it
01:10 to make sure it does that.
01:10 It doesn't happen by accident, right?
01:12 Just by putting something in there.
01:14 It's all--
01:15 - Oh, it's like, it feels--
01:16 - In there.
01:17 - You know, feels like a million bucks.
01:19 - We're sure it's gonna cost a million bucks.
01:20 (laughing)
01:23 - Oh man.
01:25 - It rides really comfortably too.
01:27 - Yeah, 'cause the shocks, you know, adjustable height.
01:30 Kony shocks, which is Ferrari uses.
01:33 - AC feels nice.
01:36 - Yeah, and it has three settings too.
01:38 - These are great seats too.
01:39 You just sink right into them and they hold you in place.
01:42 I don't know, there's something about,
01:44 for maybe my generation, is like,
01:47 having a car that's drivable like this,
01:50 that's like the best of all,
01:52 the best of the old and the best of the new.
01:54 And putting all that together
01:56 is a really, really amazing thing.
01:58 - That's what I was trying to achieve.
02:00 I have a lot of my friends,
02:02 even for us, for our age, we love this,
02:06 or a little bit younger than us, love this look.
02:08 Cannot stand the unreliability
02:11 or the performance that we used to, right?
02:12 'Cause we have all these new cars that are the performance.
02:15 So we have to have at least somewhat of a performance,
02:17 somewhat reliability.
02:19 But we love the classic look.
02:22 And really, this is one of their best designs.
02:25 And now, of course, all the technology.
02:27 So it's really great.
02:28 - Yeah.
02:29 It really just puts it all together.
