This is the best car video on all of the internet. The sound, the rawness of the suspension and grip, watching Jacques getting jarred around, and the way he pulls through the Turbo MEAT in those gears. Best ever, no doubt.
One of the great drivers of alltime but completely annihilated by Keke Rosberg in 83 & 84 seasons as Williams teammates. Such is life but then again I'm finnish.
Must have been over 15years since I’ve watched this video the first time. Every once in a while I come back, words can’t describe my feelings when I watch this. PERFECTION!
These old F1 drivers were the absolute best! Unsynchronized transmission, brutal snap power when the turbos spool up... wow! What a fantastic machine and an equally fantastic driver.
mocassins et supercar ! la classe absolue ! le style ! le son... tout est au delà de l'imaginable... cette video me donnera encore des frissons pendant des decennies...
F40 Lm , is the ultímate driver's car in my opinion.... And what a pleasure to see an former f1 pilot to take a run, driving like you should , the sound, the raw of the car , no assistance , no stability control , you are on just the feeling of the car and what is doing , and thats what driving is all About , i watch this video once a week at least
i saw this video 10 years ago....and now again....and it is still mindblowing! what a sound! ooooo my god, just want to drive the car in a sim race...i remember there was a mod in rfactor with incredible sound
This video Literally brings joy to me. We need to keep manuals! Sure, SAT's might give us faster times around the track, but it's not about that! I'ts about the joy and thrill of the drive! Also when you take manual out of the equation, it also removes some of the skill..
TO DIE FOR!!!! That sound gave me goosebumps on the back of my neck and made my stomach go all squiggly, what I'd give to have a drive or ride in one of those, GREAT VID!
I watched this on TV years before, when i lived in France, i was just a little kid, but i remember this sound, it was unforgettable. Obviously my father was recording it on the VCR ;-) . Great memories! Thanks for upload this!
The F40's did have straight-cut gears. They transmissions also featured dog engagement rings and they were unsynchronized, meaning that the drivers had to manually synchronize the gear changes by "double-clutching". Removing the synchronizers, using straight-cut gears, and utilizing dog engagement rings serves to strengthen the transmission allowing it to operate longer in the brutal conditions of endurance races; the purpose for which the car was built.
Still sends chills down my spine and gives me goosebumps whenever I watch it. It must have been an absolutely spectacular experience for Lafitte to pilot this amazing machine. I can only hope one day to drive one of the 'lesser' Ferrari models myself, as I will never get the chance to be behind the wheel of the Legandary F40 LM.

Having watched this a few years ago, I have just spent about 3 hours trying to find it again! ...There is a lot of 'Ferrari' footage on TH-cam. But this is my fave. THE SOUND.
I love the sound of that engine and how the two turbos runs air to the intake. So beautiful.. :P If I ever had enough money to buy a Ferrari, it will be the F40 : )
@carlosb1, ok thanks a bunch for this one wow ,i am a huge fan of the F4O and this is a awesome in car video of it .Thanks for posting ,man i am deaf from ccranking it up lol.
This car is seriously quick !! It sounds like the ratio's are too close but the graphic shows otherwise. You can hear the tyres at the limit of their straight line adhesion as he accelerates on the straight's. Very quick. He's not even pushing that hard. Love it :)
the first example of "road F1"!!! totally insane! and above all no ASR, no TSC, no other fuckin electronic control only feet, hands and heart! you can hear the LM breathing, living you can feel every single part of HER!! Thanks guys for this video! like Swataia said, if I had money to buy a Ferrari, it will be the F40!! 5 stars video!
Track used is named "Mas du clos", a very nice track of a famous french Ferrari owner (has owned till around 60 old Ferraris...). Track is really nice (nice/fast/slow curves).
Amen. It's still the most DRIVER focused supercar. No BS...no electronic gadgets...no computer nannies...no paddle shift...NO RADIO...no power steering...no traction control...just 478HP pumped into the rear wheels...and a driver with ALOT of balls to drive it really fast!!!! Sexy and light carbon fiber body...on a race tuned chassis and engine. Pure...raw...unadulterated. God Bless the Ferrari F40!! If only I could afford one. =^)
every time he puts his foot on the accelerator you can hear the giant LEM turbo's spool up. its amazing. i would also definetly have a f40 instead of a enzo. Idk about a FXX. those are amazing.
Before I watch forumula One, or other ALMS races.. I will play this video on my computer.... I have speakers throughout the house, and play it continuously for some time... The singing beauty of the Twin Turbo V8 echo beautifully as I prepare myself for a relaxing time of Racing..... This is when the Girlfriend goes shopping...
THE TRACK is called Mas du Clos (I dug it up from an earlier comment but he actually says it at the beginning if you listen carefully [or actually know French :P]).
Nah he knows the pattern he was just taking it easy and showing the car's character. At 1:25 he shifts the car the same way the guys who race this car do it.
I just said it a short while ago,it`s sound from inside the engine bay.the whistle that picks up as the car speeds is the straight cut gearbox indeed and the vibrating issue is due to the fact that the car is very powerfull so it looses traction when it bounces on the track each time it gets the oportunity due to improper rebound settings to the suspension system.
One little note about this drive, because in this video that doesn´t show, when i saw this on TV, before the drive, i remember they take this Ferrari from a museum, directly to the track, so the tuning of the engine is not the best, in this drive, this F40 LM was not correctly tuned for a race. However is still amazing to see!
F40 LM should have around 600hp, but it also depends by the turbo pressure. Anyway...the sound is amazing and the car...oh my God She (not it...) is a masterpiece! Grande Enzo, hai creato creato qualcosa di unico! ORGOGLIO FERRARI!!!
Hello everyone. I moments ago just uploaded an edited montage of my personal favorite automotive sounds ever recorded -- this footage included in there. So, feel free to give it a view/listen at your convenience if you all are at all curious. Thanks.
Absolutely awesome and awe-inspiring. At full chat, it brings tears to the eyes....not a supercar in the world (past or present) that can match that kind of raw, metallic, thrashy yet glorious noise. So many of today's turbo-charged performance cars just sound lame in comparison- the turbo noises drowning-out and smoothing the engine and exhaust notes, e.g. latest twin scroll turbo BMW M5.
I have been watching this video atleast once a week for 4 years... nothing will ever compare to the sounds this f40 produces.
nothing...
zonda
Zonda is nice, but it's no f40...
MATRA 650 with Henri Pescarolo at Le Mans is absolutely orgasmic too!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Yes, great in-car camera perspective shows him floating above and sinking into the seat...
I still cannot get over how perfect that gear shift at 1:25 is. Probably one of the most perfect shifts in human history.
He basically paddle shifted 'er
One of the great drivers of alltime but completely annihilated by Keke Rosberg in 83 & 84 seasons as Williams teammates. Such is life but then again I'm finnish.
We don't need no pussy shift, just real drivers! #ManualOrDie
It seems like a automatic dualclutch shift
@Randy Savage are you really😂
definitely the pornest car video on youtube. i'm still watching it after 12 years.
+Flavio Marino This one's a strong competitor-late Georg Plasa in his BMW 134 Judd V8:th-cam.com/video/cyqJxXolico/w-d-xo.html
14 years later and still the best car video. Gives me chills imagining myself driving and hearing it in person.
2:02 -- the greatest, most brutal and coolest unsynchronized downshift in human history! Does anyone else noticed how awesome this is 🤯
Chefs kiss my friend
Must have been over 15years since I’ve watched this video the first time. Every once in a while I come back, words can’t describe my feelings when I watch this. PERFECTION!
The greatest shift in the history of mankind 1:25
Jacques Laffitte ....
Its a lag of the video
Hahahahaha. Just a perfect gear slam.
Jacques Laffitte, perfect shifting, it's what he did for a living.
@@GolDAce-mx4zu Um... what the fuck are you talking about...?
One of the best sounds from a car ever! OMG that F40 LM sounds so so sweet!!!!
OH GOD, THE SOUND, THE GLORIOUS SOUND
These old F1 drivers were the absolute best! Unsynchronized transmission, brutal snap power when the turbos spool up... wow! What a fantastic machine and an equally fantastic driver.
A fantastic driver needs a fantastic car !

Also Ayrton on Nsx has mocassini... F1 drivers needs sensitive foot 😊
@@meetrasurrik6982 it's called Turbo. A famous french tv show.
Brings tears to your eyes that a car could sound so good. God is inside that exhaust.
1:55 and 2:15
OMG ! Je ne me lasse pas... Combien de fois j'ai regardé /écouté ça !
I was a kid in 1980, sent a letter, and he replied. A fun loving, happy guy, huge champion. See him. Lovr him....

16 years....here is a reply =)
Un pur moment de bonheur et d'explosion mécanique: Grand merci à Jacques...et à Dominique pour cette vidéo d'anthologie!
Le grand moment de mon enfance. Cultissime à l'époque !
I watched this on TV years before, when i lived in France, i was just a little kid, but i remember this sound, it was unforgettable. Obviously my father was recording it on the VCR ;-) . Great memories! Thanks for upload this!
i could watch it all day long also... There's just something magical in this engine sound. Probably the best one on earth
The greatest car video in entire internet and the best car ever built.
i could listen to that sound all day, thanks for the post!
Laffite to Ferrari engineers: "fuck the helmet I raced F1 in the seventies bitches".
That sound...That gear shift at 1.24...

omg i could listen to that sound rest of my life, simply beatiful!
I cried during this.. angel's song...
Beautiful noise from the engine and those twin turbos spooling up.
how could you not like this? Best sounding engine I've ever heard
Pardon me, I need to go change my pants.
LOL
I never get bored of watching this. Awesome
Still sends chills down my spine and gives me goosebumps whenever I watch it.

I am going to listen to it AGAIN, such was my level of enjoyment.
Watched this a million times and that engine note still makes my hair stand on end.
Punaize les frissons de dingue !! Un des plus beaux son que j'ai jamais entendu
Having watched this a few years ago, I have just spent about 3 hours trying to find it again! ...There is a lot of 'Ferrari' footage on TH-cam. But this is my fave. THE SOUND.
La meilleure vidéo, avec la meilleure voiture et bien sur un pilote d'exception.
1992 : BROADCASTED ON M6.
2006 : UPLOADED ON TH-cam.
15 YEARS LATER : GONNA WATCH THIS.
those downshifts at 2:03 though...
I'm so glad some people still appreciate a good down shift. I mean flawless downshift.
Like to hear the outdoor audio on that run. Thing sounds more like an 80's Formula 1 Turbo. The F40s were, and still are the PINNACLE of Ferrari!
how many cameras? 6? amazing footage, and the SOUND! it's perfect! even close to 30 years later still the best sound in the world!
This is the best Ferrari video on youtube. I would do ANYTHING to drive this car..
That exhaust note is just quivering with tenacity!
I love the sound of that engine and how the two turbos runs air to the intake. So beautiful.. :P
If I ever had enough money to buy a Ferrari, it will be the F40 : )
the engine sound ... i fall in love
Im curious that this f40 sounds different to other f40.This sounds like cross plane crankshaft. F40 has flat plane crankshaft, very different sound.
ah ah lafitte is dress like he's gonna buy some milk at supermarket on sunday morning "darling, i'm back in 13.269 s" !!!
I GET GOOSE BUMPS EVERYTIME I LISTEN AND WATCH THIS VID ...... TO HEAR THAT HELLISH 8 AND THOZ TWIN TURBS .... ITS SIMPLY AN EARGASM
Easily the nicest exhaust note I've ever heard👂❤
This gearbox is a blessing and a curse. A lot of kids of the 80's watched this when it aired in France in 1990 or so, and we do remember it.
As much as i live for the sound of the American muscle car v8, You just can't get much better than this! The primal screem!
Non-synchronized gear box with no electronic aids make this car a very challenge for many drivers. A PURE dream car :-)
Je m'en lasse pas juste magnifique💪💪💪💪💪
Grazie Jacques e Pierre
Racing version of THE dream car is our paradise on heart
I just had an eargasm!! Awesome sound!

Gotta be one of the best vids. I love how he's in his casual clothes, a joy ride....
the first example of "road F1"!!! totally insane!

i get goosebumps every time

There is nothing else in the world that sounds this good
Oh My God, one of the best Engine Sound on planet earth!
Such an incredible car. I'm lucky enough to have seen a real F40, stunning machine.
When he figured out the shifting pattern,boy did he shift that beast like a champ
Nah he knows the pattern he was just taking it easy and showing the car's character. At 1:25 he shifts the car the same way the guys who race this car do it.

hear those turbos spooling, awesome

good car
and fantastic sound
absolutely right;) Thought the quality sucked, but damn this is a great vid

"Some" of this car's tech maybe outdated, but man performance wise it can still hold its own with any supercar present or past.
