1989 Ferrari F40: My Twin-Turbocharged Lucky Charm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ธ.ค. 2018
- The F40 ranks among the most recognizable and beloved road cars ever produced, and so there is very little new left to say about the machine itself-we all know that it is a potent performer, a spartan go-kart powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 nestled up between tires of construction site proportions. But cars that attain levels of popularity like the F40 has don’t become any less special the more we fantasize about them, and though the spec sheet might be committed to the memories of many a supercar enthusiast, each example has its own story. In the case of Jasbir Dhillon, this F40 is woven into the fabric of his life beyond the excitement that it provides to the lucky soul in the driver’s seat. It’s a means to bond with his family, a link to his childhood and his past, and as something well beyond the definition of an inanimate object, it’s a piece of his being that he has plans to hold onto well into the future.

A person who looks F40 as Enzo's final masterpiece rather than an investment. He deserves it.
@Marco Yoo "final masterpiece", I would rather call it a engineering accomplishment at its finest
@@NickKnatterton. How about not being a dick...... And just say nothing. No one cares is your term is more grammatically correct.
@@thejohnson9204 Jesus, I think you're the one being a dick. He starts by offering, "I would" making it his preference not a correction by any means. You need to calm down.
Marco Yoo in 30 years he put less than 2700 miles on it. So he does see it as an investment.
Joel Schembri on an F40 it could go up to 1000 and people still wouldn’t reach it 😂😂
I absolutely love the fact that he actually drives, enjoys, and shares the F40 with his family rather than keeping it in the garage 24/7. I know too many people with cars not even half as amazing that won't let their family or children near it. That really kills the passion for a lot of people. This guys gets it!
A car is bought to be appreciated and used,and driven.
Not a 2 ton garage weight.
8:06 the car only has 17k miles. The car is 29 years old. Thats barely driven
That's what happens when you have millions and millions and millions😂
Exactly. This car was meant to be driven.
It is is one of those cars that you do not let everybody drive because it is rare thr parts are extremely expensive and as he states in the video , when the boost comes on you better make sure that the car is straight! Most people have absolutely no idea what it means to drive an old car with that much power
Maybe the best F40 video I’ve seen, such a passionate owner and to see it getting driven on some great roads too.
search Davide Cironi's video, it's also very beautiful
@@progamerbiancavilla9601 Cironi is the best auto "blogger". He gives a thorough insight of the cars he gets to drive!
What a fantastic man, I'm glad he owns that F40 but damn... His kids are lucky!
imagine kid of people he is exploiting to get rich enough to buy a F40 :)
I feel like Dr. Dhillon needs his own episode just to talk about himself lol. What an interesting person.
i agree 100%
His using of language is really something...
Jordan Wilbanks I agree! I love that he shares this beast with people just walking by as well.
VINWiki?
Agreed, what a gent! Agree with the VINWiki comment.
This guy really loves the cars he owns. If anyone deserves an F40...it's him.
if only he was american
Clint Burgamy agreed!
Well, Jasbir Dhillon's license plate says "Tennessee" and his English is better than many other Americans I've encountered. I think the point here is that this very fortunate gentleman owns a most admirable piece of art that just happens to be capable of a bit over 200 mph. He and his beautiful family appear to enjoy and appreciate it far more than most Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes owners I've crossed paths with over the last 30 years or so. A Ferrari owner who has to take the time to get the bugs off the front of his F40 is a enthusiast I'd enjoy spending time with!
Art Vandelay if only you didn't even exist
I'm Italian-Canadian and I don't give a shit where he's from...the man clearly has a passion and a deep knowledge for the car, more than many Americans so what does it matter? It's amazing how some small brains still can't look past cosmetics and superficial things. There's a love here that a lot of people can appreciate.
Damn. I was hoping this rich guy was a jerk so I could dislike him . . . but he's way too cool.
Lol
MediocreMan Indeed
I wanted to hate him but man I want to be his friend
@@JohnSmith-uy2jg Sissy
i don't understand the hate and judge on rich ppl.
Why have a negative conception on him without knowing him ???
'My kids love it because they feel it's legalised hooliganism' 😂 you can see his kids' expressions when they sit in the car, grinning from ear to ear. That's what it's all about, passing on the love and respect for these great machines.
Indeed thats a great parenting tip. Every good parent should buy an F40 and let their Kids around it , So they dont do drugs or spraypaint the neiborhood !
Well and truly spoken, good friend
I got goosebumps listening to the sound
A2 the JDM fan boy and tears 🤗
You can say that again.
The downshifts though... My God
I know the feeling
2:09 definitely goosebumps
Sure, a lot of collector car owners are in it for all the wrong reasons. Dr. Dhillon isn't one of them. He is knowledgable, passionate and personable. Thanks, Petrolicious for another memorable video. And long live the F40!
They've destroyed our hobby/passion, without a doubt.
He has a level of love like leno and very well spoken and knowledgeable as well
Brian Benefield Yes, time after time Petrolicious delivers the goods. These are the types of stories that fill one with the desire to go out and buy an old car, restore it with a family member and make some memories.
The monologue of Dr. Dhillon is absolutely mesmerizing. Really captures the spirit and essence of the car. Well done, sir. What a beautiful car.
I cant say enough just how beautifully this car has aged. Its truly timeless.
I agree, However, I have never seen one that looked right front on. Of the 4 I've seen in person ,they too sit a little crooked in the front . I guess they just remind me to much of a Fiero GT . The main front of course. The rest is all Ferrari.
Imo the greatest car that's ever been and if I had the choice of only 1 car this is what I would have every time
@@genehall8895 LMAO are you really comparing a Ferrari F40 to a Pontiac Fiero GT?
Seeing the children in the car was a nice touch. Well done!
they did $10,000 damage...
Igniting the passion for future car lovers. He set the bar really high with the F-40 though. Most of us just get a Volvo to play with at the best. :)
One of the most striking designs of the 80's. The F40 looks incredible to this day.
Though close up, they do look a little like they were built in a shed.
It is a beast! ;)
Them pop up headlights though!
F40, CGT, Rolex Daytona. This guy knows his stuff!
Where are these seemingly perfect roads? I want to drive my Ferrari across them. Windows down, radio off, and my face hurting from smiling. Where; where are they? What a great video. If I had to sum it all up in one word. Passion.
Apparently Tennessee, that's what his license plate said
Try living in IL .. land of the grid roads and any windy road has a 30mph limit (if u ever find one 40-50mph.. it’s as good as it gets here). I don’t drive a Ferrari (I’d prefer a Lotus Exige 260 or a 997.2 GT3 RS.. but the F40 is def my favorite of the prancing horses by a country mile. ).. but my little Veloster N loves roads like he was driving on but it’s so rare to experience. I’ll prob head down to Tennessee in the spring for a drive .. I know some guys that drive some roads down there that are heavenly
Nashville Tn
Specifically Leiper’s Fork.
Blessed to be able to drive these roads almost daily
Serra da arrábida in Portugal
@@haydenreece2482 more specifically, Natchez Trace Pkwy
To sum up this video;
Passion Honour Respect
Well said.
We saw Dr. Dhillon a while back with his awesome Jaguar XJR-15. Most enthusiasts are quite familiar with this car so at this point it's all about the car/owner story, and like the last video Dr. Dhillon's passion is immediately apparent. Not much else you can say about the F40 other than after all these years, it still excites me to see one and learn about another F40 owners experiences. Fantastic!
He was on Jay :Leno's garage with that XJR-15 also. The guy has amazing taste in cars, I think I remember seeing an XJ220 S in his garage as well.
Fully agree. And he speaks so eloquently about it; it's a joy to listen. To the F40 as well of course. I love these older supercars' sounds. So much better than the almost becoming generic endless crackles on the overruns of modern performance cars. It seems engineered into them whereas this just "happens" to sound awesome.
@@BurtSampson Yup. And he got Jackie Ickx to drive his car. I'm not sure it gets any better than that.
@@marcducheine9700 as awesome as the new cars are technologically, it's sad that they have to engineer exhaust sounds to get the car to sound good. In this car, and many others of the era, they just built a fabulous motor and the epic sound was just a fantastic byproduct of the engine. That's an era we won't ever see again.
I wanted to be the boy screaming "repost" but thanks for clarifying that it was another car. :D
It brought a tear to my eye when I saw how overjoyed his lovely kids were sitting in the car. Beautiful video
Wow! Incredible car, and awesome owner🙏🏻 Another fantastic video!
JR Garage ayeeeee lol
8:55 engine sounds under accelaration => TH-cam subtitles: [music]
well done TH-cam
*its true you know Morgan Freeman meme*
LOL
(Sees petrolicious notification with Ferrari F40 in the thumbnail)
**HEAVY BREATHING INTENSIFIES**
hahahaha sooo true
did u came haha
17004kms and climbing, that in itself is truly amazing. Hats off to you sir!
8:07
miles probably
Nevermind the speedo is in km/h
Most importantly what's the car chasing it
An acquaintance was Greg Whitten, one of the very early Microsoft employees he had nearly 10,000 km on his F40 at the time I was living in Washington, so probably 1993.
8:16 What a wonderful F40! Also beautiful Carrera GT.
There's nothing that warms my heart more than seeing someone enjoying his cars with his family. A truly beautiful example of an F40.
I follow him on instagram, he even takes time out of his busy schedule to respond to every single comment! Very cool cat!
*edit: I got teary eyed when he started talking about his family.
Could you please tell me his Instagram account username
thegame3216 I think Its jasdhillion67 or something along those lines
@tarnjot ojla found it, thanks mate 👍🏼
Man, I too got choked up when he mentioned his parents. What a nice relationship. Then to have your elderly mom see the passion in your eyes and give her genuine approval.. That says a lot about what Family can mean in one's life.
A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.
Nothing better than a car owner who knows, understands and respects the car.
Me: I learned to drive manual in a VW Bug
Owner's child: I learned to drive manual in an F40
:D
I learned to drive manual in a FIAT 500L 1971 ;)
I really love muffins
He has a XJR-15 as well. You can find a video on that here. Also he has a Carerra GT in the video. Man has excellent taste in cars. Not like every other TH-camr who gets a Hurracan or GTR. Truly a connoisseur.
I think I saw a Lagonda on the lift.
Who are you to decide who "deserves" to have the things they want to buy?
muffins are the best
i beg to differ, i hate stereotypes.
Didn't expect to be so moved by this video, but the way his family was incorporated was very touching.
I could never get tired of looking at that beautiful car. Dude, you have an awesome family. You're a lucky man.
This gentleman should have his own automotive TV show. He's a gifted storyteller and narrator.
Compared to another collector who frequents Leno's Garage (David Lee), Dr. Jas' narrative is so much more detailed and articulate. You can tell Jas is a truly passionate owner. Thank you for this beautiful piece Petrolicious!
Agreed 100%.
omg the smile on all the kids faces is worth as much as the car. i smile like they do when ever i see a legend like the f40.
His talking is perfect for meditation.
It brought tears to my eyes the way he described the day he got the F40. That was a mother-son moment right there. Mr. Dhillon, my hats off to you!
Jas, you have got to be the nicest guy in the car world. Watching you on these videos and on Instagram, makes me happy. Thank you.
Dennis Gump can u share us his ig pls?
I would put Jay Leno just next to him as well .
What's his IG?
@@Flysohighx21 instagram
That’s sikh bro!
I see what you did there...
My man!
Hahaha! 😂😂😂That’s so clever! 😂😂😂I bet he’s never heard that before. 👍👍👍Oh, man... you should copyright that. 🤪🤪🤪So hilarious! 😂😂😂I’m going to write that down to use it later. 😂😂😂I’m dying. 😂😂😂😂
Phil Meeks I bet everyone you talk to is constantly scanning the room for someone else to talk to.
Art Vandelay You stick to importing and exporting latex. I’ll handle the jokes.
Someone give this guy more cars so he can share them with us.
He already has quite an enviable collection, Cheers !!
Something tells me this man would rather earn them than have anything "given" to him. But I do agree that there needs to be more videos of the good Dr. and his cars.
He has a decent collection of supercars from the 90s and early 00s. Look the garage scene near the end you can see his Carrera GT and Jaguar XJR-15 beside the F40.
"It will bring you great fortune and great luck". What a beautiful story. The ownership experience as epic as the car. Well done Petrolicious!
The smiles in this video say everything. This guy has figured life out completely, I would love to meet him; the passion is palpable.
I'm in my early thirties and about to start a family with the woman I love. I've got a 6 spd 360 Modena in Nero Black and I've got an emotional attachment. I can't wait to bring my children into the world of Ferrari. Thank you Petrolicious. Thank you Ferrari. Thank you with all my heart.
Wait till she divorces you and takes your Ferrari and 50% of everything else. No need to deny it is inevitable.
@@fitnesspoint2006 yea on god be careful emperor it will happen
@@dylanbenker2043 Life goes on no matter what, keep your spirits up
Emperor Wish you all the very best, children are a gift and life changing (in the best way possible ). I’ll look forward to your stories as they get older and wish you many happy miles and smiles in your car 😄👍
@@jasdhillon6761 I will be sure to share when we cross paths in the future!
I must have watched this 20 times now .... still amazing
I come here for the cars as much as the beautiful cinematography. A guy wobbling about with his mobile phone does a massive disservice to the car and only serves to make everyone dizzy. So thank you again, Petrolicious, for the great vids.
The best petrolicious video to date. Now can you guys film Jasbir's Carrera GT?
Gajen Nad and the Aston Martin Lagonda, just for the sheer madness of the design!
Im bias to analog gauges
Agreed
I hate those displays in modern cars. Giant tablets on the dashboard. Give me some nice gauges.
Same
Look at the smiling faces of your beautiful children. Look at the respect you showed and still show your parents. You are worthy of this special car and worthy of all your success and happiness in life.
Brian Messemer Really kind of you Brian, wish you and yours all the very best in 2019 ! thank you
My pleasure. Since you read and responded, I'll risk saying more. In fact, your story about your mother hit me very personally. I just lost my own mother to cancer on November 25th, not yet 1 month ago. The respectful and heartfelt way you spoke about your mother, and shared the circumstances of her passing those many years ago, was very meaningful. Very kind of you to share such a personal story with us all on TH-cam. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family. @@jasdhillon6761
Brian Messemer Very sorry to hear that Brian, may she rest in peace 🙏🏾 . Nothing I can say could possibly assuage your grief. I will say that good parents live with you forever, in their teachings and wisdom. I find that my mum and dad “talk” to me in many ways still, at times of decision and especially when kids throw your a curveball !! I hope over time you find this to be true. Have a wonderful Christmas with family and all the very best to you in 2019
How to drive a F40 properly and also the engine is such an eargasm
The best ever imo. Next episode, that Carrera GT peeking in the garage.
One of the most inspirational car guys ever on this channel, I believe this was his 2nd time around here!
Thank you👍👍
Now that I’m nearly fifty years old, I still have yet to see an authentic F40. It’s on my bucket list. I had tears in my eyes the entire video. Thank you for sharing your treasure with us. Stay strong, Boston
Its SUCH a breath of fresh air to a see a rich guy who is grounded and humble and deserves and appreciates everything he has. Its sad for me to say this but I haven't seen a guy like that in literally years now....... Seriously
One of the best Ferraris ever
Best!
You're wrong... this IS the best Ferrari.
And the coolest dad award goes to....JAS!
Sir, you have a beautiful attitude toward life. Many blessings to you.
Forget about the car - what a lovely guy. And family. And story.
The best F40 video & story I've seen so far... well done and thank you!
"What's your daily drive?"
How to go from zero to hero in one sentence:
"A 1989..." (wait for recipient sigh) "Ferrari F40."
Bam!
I got something in my eye watching this, great video, great scenery to drive a car in, great guy. Saw this guy on Jay Lenos garage with a jaguar, seems all the cars he owns are analog drivers cars.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Thanks, now I remember where I saw this guy...the Jag!
6:45 I like how almost every Petrolicious car owner drives their cars with "heel and toe driving technique"
Cheers to you M. Dhillon. You explain the joy of car craftsmanship very well.
desert_jin Thank you ! Cheers to you and yours as well 👍
Daily driving a Ferrari F40 and sharing the experience with your loved ones and petrolheads alike. Life doesn't get much better than that.
Great story. Loved the part about how his mother was so supportive. My mother was like that and even today, long after she’s past away, her support for my ideas and passions keeps me inspired. My love for cars started with my mum buying a Mercedes 190 Cosworth back in the 80s. What a car, what a woman.
Johnny Winstone Great parents stay with you forever 👍 Must have been a lady of great taste to drive a Cossie 190 👌
Thanks Jas, she was a great lady. First week she had it we went for a 1000km drive (just her and me) to the South of France (I live in the UK). We got so much love in that car. Still wish I had it. She was also a great driver, dare I say it but put my dad to shame behind the wheel.
Those pictures of mom and dad were awesome. Dad was a great lookin guy.
The man epitomizes the car culture. He shares his passion. Great to see
How could 27 people give this a thumbs down🤷🏿♂️?! Unbelievable.
Jealous people who have no taste and no heart.
@@brunotulliani7483 So true! He is passionate about and drives his cars.
Probably they’re The Flat Earth Society members
Investors.
probably racists? i love how music and cars can transcend cultures and bring different types of people together
Seeing an F40 Petrolicious video was exciting enough, but seeing Dr. Dhillon back for an encore is a real treat. Please don’t stop inviting him back until you’ve covered his whole collection, or at least the Carrera GT!
This shows how far someone can go , who is well spoken and doesnt have an arrogant bone ,in his body. Has anyone else noticed that no one is even talking about the F40 ? Everyone is commenting about what a nice guy he is . Which I happen to totally agree with.
true automotive enthusiast...speaks with so much passion and love !
Mr Dhillion Sir thanks for sharing your passion and the interesting back story. Also to Petrolicious ...looking forward to more great content in 2019
kim jerreat Thanks Kim, glad you enjoyed it !
JasDhillon67 Mr. Dhillon, in case you haven’t seen it yet here is a subtitled(must be activated)interview of Materazzi in which he goes into detail on the birth of the F40 in which he also explains how the body too was essentially created by him and his staff and not by Pininfarina(whose proposal for the GTO Evoluzione had an awful CX...Materazzi’s words):they(Pinifarina) then changed minor things from the GTO Evoluzione for the F40.Cheers m.th-cam.com/video/AlX-kgJuzxU/w-d-xo.html
This guy knows and capture the essence of this car in a very personal, passionate way. Hats off for actually enjoying a masterpiece of a car.
This car will be worth far more than any amount of views this internet has to offer.
8:37 I love how happy is this little girl next to her father in his fabulous car
Lucky man, luckier car. If anyone ever deserved owning an F40 it is absolutely this gentleman here
CIKEDEES I deserve it too because I am 7 year old fanboy so that means I deserve it because I have a picture of a Ferrari on my closet so yeah I deserve it
Such technical knowledge is rarely matched with such poetry: the sound of that engine "like a cobra hissing behind you." That is a wonderfully spine-tingling way to describe it (and a phrase I am going to have to steal...).
I cannot find a better way to use a F40 that with your family, and see that this guy is sharing his passion with his kids, not only warms my heart, but also passes his legacy. I'm sure his kids will remember this car and their trips with the F40 way after his death, I cannot think a better way to be remembered by your loved ones than this.
Good narration, beautiful footage and a truly great story. 🙇🏻
Now THIS is a twin turbo Ferrari done right
This guy deserves to own this car. Every single fibre of it. He uses the car, as it was inteded to. And he worked hard to get that car. This guy makes me proud to be a car guy.
THE car. I've always thought this car is a metaphor of Italy and its treasures...good looking, passionate and a timeless masterpiece.
Speaks like he's reading a book- very eloquent.
seriously- wonder if any of that was scripted- very impressive.
Speaks from the heart.
Were is the "f*cking loved this video" button ?
A better question: Where is the "May this video BURN IN HELL!" button????
My fave, the F40. Happy Motoring!
Typical Petrolicious. Does not disappoint. The F40 was my favorite car as a kid, and to this day it still stands. What an incredible car.. Love!!!!!!!
The sounds, the wonderful owner, really up there as one of my favourites
I want to take a moment here to thank you Mr. Dhillon for sharing your experience with others (us).
I´m so glad there are still people around like you, that won´t seal beauties like this away in their vaults, thus giving normal people like me (us) the chance to maybe experience the look and sound of such a Masterpiece for real maybe once in a lifetime.
Cheers.
AnTrAxX Slingshots Thank you, that’s very kind of you !
The owner's story is equally fascinating as Ferrari F40 itself! 🔥
This gentlemen brought this car to cars and coffee in Nashville a few times. The video doesn’t do him justice. Such a kind, humble man. Thoroughly admired my M3 I had at the time, which obviously pales in comparison to his F40. But still, such a gentleman and a true enthusiast.
Great video Jas, beautiful F40, you're a true enthusiast that deserves to own one of these legends. I too lost my mother in October, she was a huge autosports fan and lover of sports cars, my first car was a 93 RX7 thanks to her when I graduated high school. She drove it around Calgary when she was 60 years old, got lots of funny looks, lots of waves and smiles, seeing an "old lady" driving what was back then a very fast car.
Nice to see someone driving a car that's meant to be driven!
Beautifully done. What a wonderfully humble, family focussed, passionate gentleman. A proper human being.
This is fabulous. Someone who clearly loves the car and every intricate detail of it.
What a great video. MR. Dhillon taught me more about the F40 than I knew before this video. Knowledge, enthusiasm and love not just for the car but the family. I can watch this video over and over again. He should make more videos. I really enjoyed this
Dr. Jas is such a legend! Ripping it in Brentwood TN with a F40, i aspire to be like him. Maybe one day i'll meet him !!
Brilliant. I honesty wish more people like this man and his family owned these types of cars. They are not for profit and to be hid in garages. They should be used to bring happiness, and be driven!
The best thing about this video is not this car. To me it is the amount of knowledge this man has about this car. It seemed like he was taking the audience through the entire design process of this vehicle. True Petrol head without any of the loudness that we see now a days. Refined and knowledgeable.
*The things I'd do I wouldn't be proud of for this car*
Along with 250GTO and 250LM.
Cette F40 est à mettre dans le top 20 des voiture marquantes.
Ce Monsieur à visiblement beaucoup de goût au vu de son garage avec un Porsche GT et une Aston Matin Lagonda.
Le parfait gentleman driver.
Merci Petrolicius 👍
Ludovic Bresson Merci Beaucoup ! My wife is originally from Montreal Ludovic, so i has her translate 😄👍
Stellar video for a stellar car. The way Jas tells his story is absolutely enthralling. He is so emotionally descriptive and passionate, he makes you feel like you are truly experiencing the car with him and he touches your heart along the way. Definitely a quality human being and a REAL car guy. Thanks for continuing to stoke my love for the special F40!
You can tell this guy is truly a great guy. I felt it when he talked about the relation the car and his mother had. Very powerful words of wisdom
