MotorTranscript
00:00 G'day, I'm Paul. So we normally focus on new cars, but we were given the opportunity to check out like 20 million dollars worth of Ferraris.
00:08 These aren't just brand new Ferraris all parked next to each other. These are some of the most important Ferraris in Ferrari's history.
00:14 So today I'm going to take you on a bit of a walk around here, give you some of the key highlights of these cars.
00:19 These include the 288 GTO, the F40, the F50, the Enzo and the LaFerrari as well.
00:25 I just don't know any place you're going to see this kind of metal parked next to each other in one place.
00:29 So it is pretty exciting. I won't be able to drive any, but I'll run you through some of the key highlights.
00:34 Now if you haven't done so already, please make sure you subscribe to the channel and press the bell icon
00:38 so you can find out whenever we do fun stuff like this. Let's get started.
00:41 Okay, so where are we? What are we doing here? So this is the Ferrari dealership in Melbourne,
00:46 and this week is Grand Prix week in Melbourne. It's at Albert Park.
00:50 I live just around the corner from it, so it's always an exciting part of the year.
00:53 So we'll start here with the 288 GTO. So this was a homologation of the 308 GTB.
00:58 They built 272 of these. When this was new, it was priced at around $100,000,
01:04 which is crazy because now it's worth like $5 million plus. It is really quite an amazing car.
01:11 So what makes this so special is the engine. It's a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8.
01:18 It has a five-speed manual, just under 300 kilowatts of power, almost 500 newton-metres of torque.
01:24 To put those numbers into perspective, that's around as much as you're getting out of something like a Ford Ranger Raptor today,
01:29 and this was the supercar of its time in 1984. It'll do 0-100 in 4.9 seconds,
01:35 well it did when it was new, and had a top speed of 305 kilometres an hour.
01:41 So just in terms of weight, it had a dry weight of about 1,500 kilos, and the cool thing was,
01:45 cool at the time, you could actually adjust the suspension. So if you were going race driving,
01:51 you could then lower it, if you were driving it on the road, you could also raise it as well.
01:54 So you had a little bit of versatility there. It has like this beadlock set up here on the wheels,
01:59 and it'll be interesting as we progress forward throughout the generations of Ferraris to look at the brakes,
02:04 because the brakes here, they're pretty big for a 1980s car, but they get positively enormous
02:10 as we work our way down the Ferrari range and get to the faster stuff.
02:14 You can even see some aero elements here as well down the side. You've got this little scoop down the bottom here,
02:18 and then up the top there as well, a little bit of cooling for the engine too.
02:21 So it is a remarkable looking car here in person, and you can just imagine when this thing fires up how incredible it must sound.
02:29 Okay, F40, I think everyone had a picture of these up on their wall. This is still like a dream car for me.
02:34 It looks incredible here in person. It's actually pretty surprising how small these are.
02:38 You look at them in pictures and you think these are enormous cars, but if you look at me standing here,
02:43 it sort of just goes up to my hip there, so pretty cool. This was built to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary.
02:49 It was the last car personally signed off by Enzo Ferrari. When it was new, it had a price tag of about $600,000.
02:56 Now, you think about that at the time, that was a lot of money. So this was in the '80s, '87,
03:00 so it was a lot of money to be charging for a car like this, but people were willing to pay for it,
03:05 and they ended up selling a lot of them. They were going to cap the build at 400 of them,
03:10 except that didn't really happen. They ended up making something like 1,300 in total,
03:14 including a stack that went to the States as well. Today, these will cost you around $2 million,
03:19 if not more, depending on the condition. They also had different variants of these as well,
03:23 so depending on which one you land on, the price will just keep going up.
03:26 So it also uses a twin-turbocharged V8. This is a 2.9-litre, five-speed manual.
03:32 It makes just over 350 kilowatts of power. The US spec was slightly more powerful.
03:36 It makes just under 600 newton-metres of torque. In terms of weight, 1,254 kilos for EU spec.
03:43 The US one was heavier. It actually has some pretty cool features around it as well that I'll run you through in a sec,
03:48 but can you just imagine manhandling this thing up to 100 k's an hour from a standstill,
03:53 and a top speed of 321 kilometres an hour.
03:56 Now, we were talking about brakes before, so you can see here the big step up from the 288.
04:00 So you have cross-drill brakes here. These are a Brembo brake as well.
04:03 Similar wheel design as well to the 288, so you have those studs around the outside and that star pattern in the centre there.
04:10 I love these tyres too. These look like period-correct tyres, so a Pirelli P Zero.
04:14 These were specially developed for the car because it had to be able to do this incredible speed,
04:18 and you can see here the Ferrari logo on the side there, which is pretty unreal.
04:22 Another fun fact as well, these actually came out of the factory with a lot of weight reduction,
04:27 so it meant plastic windows, even though the back is still plastic.
04:30 Earlier versions of the car also had sliding windows there as well.
04:33 They then later fitted rolling down windows, which is what this particular car has here,
04:37 and they removed a lot of the creature comforts that you had in regular Ferraris at the time
04:42 to just give it as much performance as possible.
04:44 You can see a lot of that aero work here as well for cooling, so you've got cooling ducts here, here and down here as well.
04:51 Really is quite a remarkable design, and it just looks so cool here in person.
04:55 Okay, F50. So you fast forward about 10 years and you get to this.
04:59 Just having a look at this next to the F40, it is significantly bigger, especially at the rear,
05:04 and that's because I had to mount an enormous engine that I'll run you through in just a second.
05:08 So I only built 349 of these, so these were a whole lot rarer than the F40 was.
05:12 In addition to that, these are more expensive too, $700,000 price tag.
05:16 If you're buying one today, it is also more expensive because it is rarer.
05:19 They have a price tag of over $5 million today, so it is a very expensive piece of Ferrari history.
05:26 They've actually used Formula 1 technology here for the engine as well, which is what makes this so special.
05:31 So the engine went from a turbocharged V8 to a naturally aspirated V12.
05:36 This is a 4.7-litre. Went from a five-speed manual to a six-speed manual.
05:40 382 kilowatts of power, just under 500 newton-metres of torque.
05:45 In terms of the weight, 1,230 kilos, so incredibly light for a car that uses a naturally aspirated V12.
05:52 Did 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds and had a top speed of just over 300 kilometres an hour.
05:58 So some of the cooling elements are amazing.
06:00 So you've got these big ducts down the front here that pull all the air through to keep it cool.
06:05 And if we come around to the brakes here, you can see again they've gone bigger once more.
06:09 So not only do you have a bigger diameter there, they're cross-drilled.
06:13 Still a Brembo brake, but they've moved away from that studded design
06:16 and just gone with this sort of more simpler looking finish.
06:19 It is just incredible to see this car in person and just also incredible to see how far forward the passenger cab is.
06:25 So basically the seats end here and the rest is just engine.
06:30 So naturally aspirated V12.
06:32 The other thing I love as well, if you come around to the back with me, Sean,
06:35 have a look at this, with the light coming down on top of the car through that sort of plastic rear,
06:40 you can actually just see all of your engine components in the back here as well.
06:44 So it is just an amazing looking design and, yeah,
06:48 for the mid-90s this was the bee's knees when it came to supercars.
06:52 Okay, so early 2000s, this is the Ferrari Enzo. It was named after Enzo Ferrari.
06:57 This was one step further in terms of F1 technology.
07:01 So it used a carbon body and a whole stack of F1 aero tech as well.
07:05 This was priced at a million dollars when it was new.
07:07 So you can see the prices got slightly more expensive as they realised
07:11 that people were willing to actually pay this kind of money.
07:13 They ended up producing about 400 of these and the price today is about $4 million.
07:17 So it has definitely crept up there.
07:19 And in terms of size as well, this again retains that sort of wider rear on it
07:24 because once more you are trying to fit an enormous V12 engine under the back there.
07:28 So that is pretty cool.
07:29 So this uses a 6-litre naturally aspirated V12, makes just under 500 kilowatts of power,
07:34 a little under 700 Newton metres of torque.
07:37 And this went from a manual transmission to a six-speed automated manual transmission.
07:42 So it was kind of a manual transmission that was controlled by the car.
07:46 Weighed just under 1500 kilos, it did 0-60mph in 3.14 seconds.
07:51 And this really went to town on top speed as well.
07:53 The top speed of 350 kilometres an hour.
07:56 So Active Aero, in the front here you can actually see this whole front end is designed
08:01 to just pull the car down as much as humanly possible at speed.
08:04 Same story at the rear, it is all about just giving as much downforce as you possibly can.
08:09 That means that at 200 kilometres an hour, this was providing over 3000 Newton metres of downforce.
08:14 When you went up to 300 kilometres an hour, it was doubling that amount of downforce.
08:18 So over 7000 Newton metres of downforce on the car as it carves through the air.
08:23 So it is pretty incredible stuff.
08:26 I also love the way the doors work on these as well.
08:28 So it is just really a cool piece of history for Ferrari in the early 2000s.
08:33 So fast forward another 10 years to 2013 and you have this, it's the LaFerrari.
08:37 It was the last kind of supercar that Ferrari built.
08:40 There is actually another one coming in 2026, it hasn't been confirmed yet.
08:43 But we know that it's in the works.
08:45 This was the first full hybrid from Ferrari.
08:47 So you can see there it actually has a plug for you to charge this because it actually
08:51 has like a KERS system that I'll run you through in just a second.
08:54 This actually looks, I don't know, it's longer than the Enzo, but it still is incredibly large.
09:00 It has these cool doors that open upwards as well.
09:03 It is just an absolute masterpiece with stacks of aero around here as well that I'll show you in a second.
09:08 In terms of price, these were expensive and they still are expensive.
09:11 They were over $2 million when they were new.
09:13 It was the invitation only to buy one and today you're going to be paying upwards of
09:16 $4 million if you do want to get your hands on one.
09:19 So under the rear it uses a 6.3 litre naturally aspirated V12.
09:23 But the big difference here is that it has that KERS system.
09:26 So it produces 588 kilowatts of power and 700 newton metres of torque just from your
09:31 naturally aspirated V12.
09:33 But the KERS system adds an additional 120 kilowatts and that produces a total system
09:38 output of 708 kilowatts and 900 newton metres of torque.
09:43 It also went from an automated manual through to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
09:48 It is also slightly heavier than the Enzo.
09:51 It comes in at 1585 kilos whereas the Enzo was 1480.
09:55 And this also has a slightly higher top speed as well of 352 k's an hour.
09:59 But most importantly it'll get from 0 to 100 in just 2.6 seconds.
10:04 That is phenomenally quick.
10:06 Don't you think the car just looks so tidy next to me?
10:08 It is kind of comical.
10:10 It would be very hard to get in and out of.
10:12 But have a look at this aero.
10:13 So down the front here you have all of the cooling elements.
10:16 So this helps provide cooling for the electric system and also the internal combustion engine.
10:21 But as you look down the front here, all of this empty space here is designed to create
10:24 as much downforce as possible.
10:26 So when this is carving through the air at 300 k's an hour, you want to be pulling it
10:30 to the ground as much as you can.
10:31 I love the wing mirrors.
10:32 Look at those.
10:33 They're all the way to the side so you can not only see down the back of the car, so
10:36 again you can reduce the amount of resistance the car has when it pushes through the air.
10:40 If we have a look at the brakes, these went up another level altogether.
10:43 Have a look at the size of these things.
10:45 So the amount of face you have on that rotor is enormous.
10:49 So cross drilled there as well, carbon ceramic, Brembo caliper there too.
10:53 And look at these wheels.
10:54 They look absolutely beautiful.
10:55 So I reckon this is probably the best looking wheel out of the bunch.
10:57 It is just nice and thin and just beautifully designed there.
11:00 Have a look at this as well.
11:01 You've got some more aero down the side here.
11:03 In fact, most of that door is actually there for the sake of that aero so that you can
11:08 cool the vehicle as much as possible.
11:10 So when you do open it, you're actually having to step into the centre of the car there to
11:13 drive it, which is why these wing mirrors have to stick out so much.
11:16 And then have a look at the engine under the back here.
11:18 Look at that.
11:19 That is just a work of art as well.
11:20 So they've deliberately made this so you can actually see it from the outside and just
11:23 get the most out of that beautiful stripe down the centre there, the carbon lid on it
11:28 as well.
11:29 It is really just a beautiful sight to see.
11:31 Same story down the back here as well.
11:32 You have these open sections that allow you to see the back part of the engine.
11:36 All of these orange sections are high-voltage cables, so you know if you're in an accident,
11:41 the firefighters know what to cut.
11:42 And then more active aero down the back here as well.
11:44 You can see these flaps can go up and down to adjust the aero as required.
11:48 So pretty remarkable looking design.
11:50 So that has been a look at over $20 million worth of Ferraris, which is pretty awesome.
11:57 And we're looking forward to seeing the F1 in Melbourne again this year.
12:00 So let me know in the comments section below, which one would you take?
12:02 If money was no object, you can only take one.
12:05 Let me know which one you're going to drive home in and which one you want to keep for
12:09 the rest of your life.
12:10 For me, it's going to be the F40, because I just reckon it is absolutely unreal.
