Had to come back to this when I learned of Sir Stirling's passing. Rest in peace you legend!
Tiff's videos at Maranello and cheeky swipes at the Ferrari are always funny. But they keep in inviting him back!
Bless Sir Moss, What an absolute lad! Such a nice man.
this car is really stunning, appreciate your clear review on the hgte .. tq bro
We need role models for young men these days. People like moss, hill are just a rare breed we desperately miss. Thank you. I remember watching you at brands when I was young so that shows what era I was from.
Hahaha love Sir Stirling's reaction to Tiff's exuberant driving style! XD
Danbutch24 almost every scene is like: *bleep*
4:06 to 4:15 a true "laugh out loud" moment
The 612 and 599 are the Ferrari to buy right now before the gonna hit the roof!
The prices of the 550 & the 575 have already jumped up since last year..extending past my $$ limits.
Yes. Only the SA Aperta, Alonso and 6-Speed M/T 599 are like half a million buks...
Why? They made a NA 12 cylinder F12 Berlinetta after that, and they are still making it with the 812 Superfast.
why what!
What what? I mean they are great, but since they are still making new V12s I don't think the prices would go through the roof so fast.
R.I.P Sir Stirling Moss.. He may be gone but he'll never be forgotten
Gees, could've given Sir S a go behind the wheel - I'd love to see that.
He's a bloody good reviewer though, even if he tests cars I'm not likely ever to even see.
sir strilning Moss almost got an heart attack
I love sir Sterling Moss. He created the car of that redefined art. The lovely Mercedes SLR Sterling Moss
Ben Mayall Stirling, not Sterling
What year is this ?
Hilarious! Love Fifth Gear.
Tiff - ex review as always. I actually own one these, and I love it. However even with the handling package, this is still a VERY hairy ride. The back just wants to let loose at the slightest twitch of the throttle. Unless you're a very experienced driver, it's a real handful and pretty scary at times.
real car , no laptop on wheels
RIP Stirling moss legend
Imagine them in a 599 GTO
Steady on Tiff, you'll give the poor old bugger a heart attack if you aint careful. And killing a British racing legend won't look good on your CV......
truthpig Great clip. Sir Moss’s expression was hilarious. Two legends.
599GTB with or without HGTE?!? What to buy?
With, there was a version with a manual gearbox, which reached €600.000 in an auction
I saw the title as Ferrari 599 GB HDD, I'm in the wrong place
Esse vídeo está é super legal!
Agora a Ferrari lançou a 812 Superfast e a Portofino!
Mas quem vai avaliá-los com certeza são o Top Gear e o The Grand Tour.
I'm still laughing
Is that convertible?
Off course it is.
WHERE DID THE CRASH TESTS GO?????
WE WANT 120MPH SMART SMASH UP
RIP Stirling
why does 1080o look like 480p on your videos :/
Aayush Modi coz these are very old fifth gear videos being re uploaded
RIP Sir Stirling
the 488gtb is the 599gtb minus the 111gtb true story
Rest in peace Sir Stirling Moss
lots of body roll and misbehavior still and this is with the improved handling??
Cars have come along way in the last 10 years and do you really think the 599 is a proper track car?! It's a 1 3/4 tonne front engined rear wheel drive GT car with a 6.0 V12 up front. It's not going to be last word in handling. If you want a track car, you pick a mid engined supercar/hypercar or a track version 911.
never drove this car in real life, but I drove it in GranTurismo 5 with a wheel a DFGT, one of the cheaper ones, that is however as good as the real thing, why ? I'll explain. The game has the 599GTB with the handlng package & much to my surprise the result is the same as tiff says right here. It understeers, this can be converted using throttle input into mild or snap oversteer, but its not as managleble as other rwd cars or its stablemate the 458 italia. I recal doing an online synced time trial on monza staged polyphony the choice of cars was the "base" 599 GTB & Lambo gallardo lp 560-4 and. I figured with the long straight & milder bends of the mid to last section of the track the 599 with its bug v12 & horsepower advantage should win. the weight was similar due to the lambos rwd system, however my fastest time was consistenly in the lambo as was most of the other contestants who chose to use the lambo. The ferrari being my preferred & non engineperformance modifications allowed, due to performance bracket limitations I tries tuning the handling with racing spec suspension. Not being a Ferrari engineer & just a self taught, what does this do tweaker, using extremes to gauge functionality of each modifier, i was able to tune out some of the under-steer, however the traction in the exit & low grip of the gallardo was too much for the hundred horsepower advantage of the 599 to make up. plus using the gallardo & doing the same kind of tune & changing the front rear traction balance to 25-75 or even 20-80 had a better effect without inducing to much oversteer. In short the car desperately needed the HGTE tune that ferrari introduced, Its good to see that Ferrari has ways of making their own do what is needed when they don't go as instructed from the factory, nice to know with the HGTE kit the handling of the 599 went from a 5(by ferrari standards) to a 7, with the 599GTO being a 9 on that level. Its doesn't has the awd of a lamborg & doesn't needit, that HGTE package is like the straps his suspenders, it pulls it all together & make it decent overall package. a long gone car, however the lineage & ferrari's willingness to fix things when needed is impressive. they did the same with the california in the mid cycle first gen refresh, by adding power & tweaking the handling. cheers to ferrari my supercar brand, no contest really, however in the competition in question the lambo got me into the initial top 200 ranking. the 599 not so much, in the hands of a more skilled drover & with a better wheel who knows. but the experience the 599 was more fun
Let's test handling on wet roads.... dumb stuff
HE didn't drive it? #WTF
