Even tho Enzo himself said the Jag E Type was the best looking ever made, one respectfully must disagree and point one in the direction of this gorgeous piece of art
It’s defiantly a car that was probably made can’t deny that..but you know what I’d say my 2013 Prius can get the job done and we don’t want to mess up the climate any more right? This thing seems like a gas guzzler.
This is simply perfection. There isn’t any other word that could describe this masterpiece, just « Perfect ». Ferrari will always be an icon no matter what they come out with these days...
My dad owned one when I was a teenager. He let me drive it on the way back from L.A. on I 5 for an hour. Unforgettable. It was a perfect car. Almost too beautiful for words.
The camera work DOES do the car justice, I agree. But if you want to see proper SWB action, look for Goodwood Revival where these cars are still raced today, against othres cars of the same era. Now THAT is classic action, in the heat of battle and they do it every year.
Goosebumps. A few years back I drove a 348 at a race track for a few laps. It was heavy to steer and the clutch was stiff. But that was at low speed. When I opened it up, I couldn't believe the seemingly limitless power and the way it screamed louder and louder behind my head. As the man says, it's sensory overload. The perfection of the ride and roll, with an engine that seems alive. Painfully beautiful.
This is exactly why seeing machines that are supposed to be in motion, but are instead found lifeless and static, inside of a garage, barn or a museum is so heartbreaking.
Believe it or not. Someday in the not too far future this will be one of the first cars that will be produced new!! A classic is a classic for this reason. You can´t make it better. And in all times people will have it. Egg:Same with the Gullwing and the BMW 507
Thanks for the video of a fabulous Ferrari icon. Was looking forward to hearing the musical sound of the V12 engine climb through the revs, but the overlayed music in the video spoiled that a bit. I don’t mind a bit of filler music in performance car videos, but not during the moments where the beautiful sounding engine should take precedence over any introduced background sound. Just my thoughts, others might prefer to hear the added background music…
Whenever I see an automotive enthusiast make a video of their opportunity to drive a 250 SWB, each one gets that otherworldly glaze of giddiness as they row through the gears on a twisty road. These cars could be considered drugs.
I know right! The e-type looks a little frumpy against the Ferraris of the day. I reckon Enzo was just trying to keep the Italian coach builders on their toes. 😎
@@matthijsgerretse3217 that's a very plausible scenario. I loved how Enzo used to say you pay for the engine and get the body for free! The equivalent of saying "we'll throw in a Mona Lisa for free"?! Sublime art on wheels those Ferraris!
The E-type is faster, has disc brakes and independent suspension. And it was a third of the price. The E-type's biggest problem is the volume of cars made. It would be a million dollar car it it was rare... Anyway back to the point. It is an urban myth that Enzo said the E-type was the most beautiful car ever made. What Enzo said was that the only thing wrong with the E-type was that it did not have a prancing horse on it. This is according to Norman Devis who was present at the time. But as Norman later said. Enzo didn't speak english and Norman didn't speak Italian, so who really know what the old man really said.....
280 hp doesn’t seem so much today, but was out of this world in a road car in the early sixties. And not least, it weighed only around 960 kg. Nothing compensates weight.
Yes but these are mechanically and carburator aspired produced horsepower - thats a different and more stronger power than any computer controlled injection horsepower.
A Ferrari 250 GT SWB is about 7 million although if that one was a actual historical racer then I should imagine 30 million would be about the right price, nice to see someone actually using it for what it’s designed for.
Great photography, good presenter, but for the love of God, you need to fade the music down so we can hear the car. This is a complaint I've read over and over on high quality car videos. Petrolicious gets this. There are also a couple of times where it sounds like more than one audio clip of the engine is playing. But keep making videos, I enjoyed this.
I am lucky enough to have driven enough cars with 'enthusiasm' to know that the set up, (on the grey one), the front suspension is so wrong, bobbing along and on those early Pirelli Cinturatos is a recipe for disaster. Other tyres were available.And no seat belt, but a roll cage? The car and driver deserve better. But thank you for the wonderful footage, in particular the avenued roads, that soundtrack and simply reminding me how we used to sit just ahead of the rear axle, skinny steering wheel chatting to us, feeling almost everything going on. I now drive a much faster, safer car, with all sorts of electronic gizmos, but oh, so forgetable. My All Time favourite car, The Ferrari 250 GT SWB, unfortunately I will have to contend looking at my Die Cast 1:18 scale model in my office, anytime I wish.
Actually it is "grigio conchiglia" which means gray seashell, but the guy mispronounced the Italian word which should sounds, more or less, like "conkeelia"
All the money that car is worth and no seat belt lol. I found this video clip cos I was watching Chasing Classic Cars last night whee one sold for the record price at Bonhams auctions for 34 million 650 thousand dollars
One of the best looking cars ever made

@@michaelkmiec5842sigh
with so many cars made I can't make that type of statement...
My favourite classic for sure
The Most BEAUTIFUL car I have ever seen.
Yep, no other car is as good looking as this.
Agree :)
@@boostav 250 GTO and the 250 GT Berlinetta Tour de France 0 louvre are just as good but I agree
I thought the 250 GT Lusso was my favorite but this has taken the #1 spot.
Man o man. For me too i didnt expect this cus i am someone who likes an audi rs3.
This is simply perfection.
There isn’t any other word that could describe this masterpiece, just « Perfect ».
Ferrari will always be an icon no matter what they come out with these days...
Even modern Ferrari can't match their own 250 series classics.
I'm speechless.. those that know me know that's hard for me do
This car is a poem and you’re a poet describing it’s driving.
Gorgeous…this and the GtO are on another level…pieces of art.
My dad owned one when I was a teenager. He let me drive it on the way back from L.A. on I 5 for an hour. Unforgettable. It was a perfect car. Almost too beautiful for words.
Marc Gianandrea why he sold it??? 😱😱
The best video I've ever seen of an SWB in action; I wish it had been twice as long.
The camera work DOES do the car justice, I agree. But if you want to see proper SWB action, look for Goodwood Revival where these cars are still raced today, against othres cars of the same era. Now THAT is classic action, in the heat of battle and they do it every year.

What a timeless classic this beauty is.
There's nothing like pure passion, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, beauty, design, prestige, Scuderia Ferrari.
I’m here to cleanse my system of the Tesla Cybertruck...*shudders*
Post modernism is a disease
I hu
I’m with ya brother. 👍👍
Cybertruck is good and all, but this is MWAH! FANTASTIC!
@@hades.97 it's a blasfeme to compare that thing with this celestial Ferrari
Still have goose bumps. Mr. Goodfellow really makes you feel the excitement driving this piece of art. Big thumbs up
What an iconic car. These images take my breath away. Thanks.
This car is SUPREME. Such an elegant, classic, pure-bred car.
All in this video is perfect...music, filming...
What at beautiful Masterpiece...❤❤❤❤❤
Ahh, when cars were built with passion and prestige, what a car.
This Is For me the best street car ever
The essence of Ferrari. Just beautifully perfect. Love it!
the most beautiful car ever made
That was so well done, and well spoken. "Imagine being able to step into a painting..." Brilliant!
Thank you for the beauty...
I had a ride in one of these back in 1988. What a car!!!
One of the best Ferrari ever made 😍😍😍🔥🔥❤❤
This car is a masterpiece. The design is outrageous, to me this is better looking than a 250 GTO. A really good reason to get rich
If I could have any Ferrari it would be this would , in tour de France blue , simply amazing classic ,those curves are just something to behold
Wonderful review of one of the best Ferrari's ever made!
The lizard running home scared shitless at 3:38 is priceless....
Priceless piece of Art!!!
BEST MOST BEAUTIFUL GT FERRARI EVER BUILT!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is pure class and style. Not a little or some or lots, PURE.
Wonderful dream machine. Ferrari will always be the pinnacle of beauty and excellence.
It is so georgeous .....i can look and admire it like forever
ABSOLUTELY
I love that the colour on the certificate says Giallo (yellow) but the actual car is painted gun metal grey. So much for authenticity.
I want it in silver gray it's a piece of art the privilege driving this
💯🥇
This is exactly why seeing machines that are supposed to be in motion, but are instead found lifeless and static, inside of a garage, barn or a museum is so heartbreaking.
Ferrari has built the most beautiful cars, no doubt !
A car that i would never get😢 but a dream car forever❤
Colore stupendo, interni meravigliosi, auto essenza della bellezza
Well, I have to admit, I was sceptical about his eulogising until I saw him drive the car. It is indeed three dimensional art.
REALLY
Believe it or not. Someday in the not too far future this will be one of the first cars that will be produced new!! A classic is a classic for this reason. You can´t make it better. And in all times people will have it. Egg:Same with the Gullwing and the BMW 507

I saw this car just second in the video of Ferrari evolution and had to stop and search it. This car is just a beauty...

OH MY GOD
I subscribed just in case you put out videos like this.
OH MY GOD.
My heart is beating so fast.
That is the greatest and most accurate description of the Ferrari 250 SWB that I’ve ever heard!!!
Great driving video. Very viceral.
Man, I'd be so happy if they made such classy looking cars now.. And the grunt
i get goosebumps looking at it
What an amazing video
Whenever I see an automotive enthusiast make a video of their opportunity to drive a 250 SWB, each one gets that otherworldly glaze of giddiness as they row through the gears on a twisty road. These cars could be considered drugs.
Stunning
Some may say that the GTO is the best 250 chassis based racecar but the the SWB holds the highest position in my regard.
The Angeles Crest in a 250 SWB - heaven. Odd that Enzo wept when he saw an E-Type.
I know right! The e-type looks a little frumpy against the Ferraris of the day. I reckon Enzo was just trying to keep the Italian coach builders on their toes. 😎
I bet some journalist asked Enzo; "What car, that isn't a Ferrari, do you consider to be the most beautiful?" and he took the answer out of context.

Stupenda, vera arte di stile e meccanica per un'auto che è leggenda. (superb, true art of style and mechanics for a car that is legend)
What is with the music? Very sad.
Most beautiful car in existence. Where do I give my kidney ?
This guy makes really clever analogies , pretty intelligent
Very

I high-key want to buy a 4k screen just to watch that video.
Mai la porsche potra'raggiungere il fascino della ferrari. Icona universale

Beautiful car, perfect for my lifestyle as an Architect !
Next time ditch the music and let the car provide the soundtrack.
Wow, cool... Steve Earle owned this car! Wonder how many trips it made down Copperhead Road??
You made me think
Eternal beauty
The best looking Ferrari ever made. The guy talks like he's always angry though
That has to be the most stunnin car ever made
Where is this filmed?
I'm not looking at the dude at all...all I have to do is to stare at this ONE car and I am already satisfied.
A collector's item.
Il santo graal della Ferrari, stupenda, unica, la perfezione allo stato brado...... un ferro del 32 illegale!
i want to drive one before I die. looks like that’ll never happen
Never give up..✝️
Beautiful Italian machine in my neck of the woods!!! I'm so jealous!!!
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!! very nice
Can someone please tell me what's the precise reference of this grey color?
There's no need for music in this type of video - the engine provides the soundtrack.
Does this have apple carplay?
2020- any idea of current value?
Bella machina!
Ahhh another beauty
Is this the actual car or an exact replica?
Can you please make another version on this video without the music and the guy?
cicci0salsicci0 Robbert Alblas, watch the video of the 250
But he’s Winston Goodfellow, an award winning writer, photographer and author...🙄
@@overbuiltlimited I agree with Ciccio that dude is straight up annoying, his accolades don't change that.
I would choose this car over a Tesla Model S or even Model X any day.
Everyone with brain would choose that masterpiece instead of a shitty electric car
no shit sherlock
I would have picked this over a la ferrari even
lol i'd pick wagyu over pork
@ROB112 sure, but then again who needs 30 X's...?! 🙄
car: vroooooooooooom
this guy and me at the same time: *YESS!*
Wow what an awesome review. Thankyou
What’s the exact colour ?
Perfect.
You can have the GTO, give me a SWB, so much better looking and probably usable. Even though nobody drives them much I bet.
Passion.
