- For the chance to win the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso and $20k in cash and support a great cause, go to bit.ly/Ferrar-You_Win
The Ferrari GTC4 Lusso has always been on my radar as one of the ultimate daily driver 'practical' sport cars. Given the foundation - a naturally aspirated 6.3L 680hp V12 with a 7 speed twin clutch gearbox - it's basically a 4 seater Ferrari 812 Superfast! And if that isn't a perfect recipe I don't know what is! With a top speed of over 200mph, 4 wheel drive and rear wheel steering for greater stability and agility - the Ferrari GTC 4 Lusso V12 ticks so many of the boxes I am looking for in my next daily driver - practical but exciting!
This is part one of a multi-part series driving all the cars I'm considering living with and using as a daily driver. Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston Martin and Audi will all feature - any suggestions please let me know in the comments below...

Hey James, can you please do a Garage Tour, I think there would be lot‘s of interest in what cars you own at the moment!
Right!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Range rover, macan turbo s, f12tdf and gt3 gen2
@@bastiaans5498 we know it but he should do the classic TH-cam style the JWW way
Didn’t even know about the Range Rover
Mr JWW talks about buyinf a GTC 4 Lusso. Shmee150 is talking about "it may be time to start thinking about" selling his... hmmm
Shmee aint selling and JWW aint buying. They are just chilling for Omaze. Case solved.
Shmee is not stelling. Hé love the 4lusso. I love It!!!
Marketing hype
The penny droppeth!
Now he’s selling it
*whispers*
"we dont talk about that one"
🤣
😂
I honestly didn't even know... and now that I do know, I'm somewhat dissapointed to know about it. :P
What happens if I win a Ferrari gtc4losso
8:19 How's no one mentioned the spark of light from the wheel. Great video as always Mr. James
James: i need to sell my tdf for some cash-flow for big projects
Also James: I might buy a heavily depreciating Ferrari v12 shooting brake
Buy them right - the depreciation is already done 🤓
The TDFs are selling for like 800´000€s, a higher mileage GTC4 is like 150´000€. So less than a quarter. So there’s your cashflow 😳😍 And it comes with like three more years of warranty and service. Also...James might have to buy some Ferraris for...reasons, guess we’ll know soon 😁✌🏼
@@bastieschenbach9814 oooh, "for reasons" I didn't think of that. Now that makes total sense. But for what 🤔🤔🤔
@@MrJWW I think you may be mistaken ... there's a hell of a recession coming ....
Exactly
Give Shmee a call👍🏻
Why is Shmee moving his along? 🤔 He has his eyes on another Ferrari?
ғɪʟʟ 1ɴ ᴛ҉ ʜ3 ʙʟᴀɴᴋs he said he is thinking about replacing it, like just having a browse so its good timig
@@nickg4877 Its not his one they are giving away it is another gtc4 but you can spec it how you want apparently
@@rafiulhaque8064 That's wicked!

Mr (Gearbox Snob) JWW :D I was waiting for the phrase “relationship between engine and gearbox”!
Few things, Ferrari no longer make either Lusso, so there's no option to buy a new one, as for having one for the kids, I've had my kids in both an FF and a Lusso (T) - I'll come on to that - and there are few spec items that are important to consider. 1. don't get passenger display, they will ride in the front, they will annoy the shit out of you playing with it. 2. don't get one with the upgraded sound, it take up a bunch of the boot which you're going to need for other kid-related stuf. 3. the cupholder covers are easily broken by a child in 10 seconds, give up on them. 4. the seat fold mechanisim doesn't work properly at all. the seats are constantly folding back on me as I try and get a kid into the car. 5. get dark carpets, carpeted sills and no alcantara. 6. The exhaust valves open right around UK motorway cruising speed, they will get annoying because the car goes from peaceful to wake up wife and children just because you reach a slight incline (see DMS below).
Now to the LussoT, I know it got a bashing when it launched but.... - I've had an FF which I did 20k miles in and a LussoT which has done over 10K and I've done over 1k miles in a V12 Lusso, I've also spent a day at Millbrook in all three and dynamically the best car is the FF (it's also more stable at speed, the Lusso *can* do 208 mph, but it gets so light at over 175mph that you really wouldn't want to) but they sort of gave up after the engine and transmission, so as a thing to live with the lusso's are better. Of the two Lussos the T is the much, much better car, it doesn't sound better granted, but it's noticeably lighter and benefits from springs which are about 10% stiffer as well as more torque, especially low down where the V12 hasn't got going. It's real party trick though is in remembering it has a revvy engine which is basically a detuned Pista engine, it wants to be doing 4000+ rpm not 2000, ideally with the tail out. It therfore lends itself well to tuning, DMS do an amazing tune package for it which takes it to 700Bhp and over 850Nm which is more in evey way than the V12 can do and they adapt the manettino settings to allow the additional power and noise to be controllable. The V12 sounds great, but it's more fast mercedes than fast ferrari and it lacks the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the T.
The T is also rare (probably because of getting a bashing) it's the rarest series Ferrari in the UK in a good 25 years, with only 90 sold. that's only a couple more than there are TDFs.
Dan Sutherland thanks for your insight
Dan Sutherland thanks man for that info 🙏must have took years to type it out tho😆
I cannot tell the difference in boot space between a Lusso with and without hifi. I have it, and I've seen cars without. Same boot.
When you fold your seats forward, just let the kids push it forwad as they step in. When I have passengers there, I have zero issues.
It looks bad without passenger display. The area looks like something's missing
@@AB-80X The Hifi takes out the space inside the wing on the left for the subwoofer. if you fill the car up - which I do if we go on trips it's annoying.
its a £250k car, I expect them to have figured out folding seats.
without the passenger display it does look a bit crap, I think that's a punishment from Ferrari for not having it. But I don't care because it's a silly gimmick for a ludicrous amount of money.
@@AB-80X The seat thing - it works fine on perfectly flat ground, but the slightest slope makes it fold back on it's own, and my kids are small, not quite at the pushing the seat, or stepping in age yet. especially when the motors are pushing back against them.
A friend of mine owns one of these and I got to say there aren’t many gt cars, family cars and daily cars that are this great in each category. A true beast under the hood with some nice practicality
One of the best interior specs I have seen for a while. Great choice for this type of car, and indeed: that panoramic roof is gigantic! Awesome.
This is the kind of videos I love!! Keep it up. Greetings from Spain!!
Great to see you're back out on the road - and what a car if someone else has taken the huge depreciation hit, ouch!! What a car - think you've found your family fun driver already !
Congrats on all your subscribers. I think I subscribed when you had under 100k. I knew you could roll!
Shmee right now: 🧐😬🙋♂️
Great series, we’re in the same situation so we’re really looking forward to it. But we’d appreciate if you show and rate all of the things that really make these ”practical” as family cars: clearance, boot space (do a push chair fit?), isofix, seat positions with a baby seat, etc.!
As much as I love the TDF this would make sense cause you still will get that v12 enjoyment which is basically most of the fun. 🤙🏻
I am sure you will pick up this beauty as a daily driver.... it will be amazing to watch your road trips in this GTC4 Lusso... cheers
This is my dream daily 😍 other options i would take is probs a M8 Gran Coupe or Porsche Taycan Turbo S
As always! Love your work.
My girlfriend has had this thing for over 2 years now and she loves it. Fact that she can pick up our kid and go for a joyride along the pacific coast highway in the same car is priceless to her.
girlfriend. kids. ferrari. alpha male.
What car seat is she using?
When I got the kids I used a Maserati Quattroporte GTS as a daily driver. Loved the Dr. Hyde and Mr. Jackal change of character at the push of a button. Loved it so much I drove it for 12 yrs and 240’000km without problems.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
HA! I bought a Lusso a few years ago for the exact same reasons. And I absolutely adore it! I have a few other Ferraris, including a Pista, but the Lusso gets used more than anything else I own.
This is the thing, a usable V12 is appealing
Congrats the Pista is my favorite current Ferrari. It's right behind the Laferrari and TDF for Favorite Ferrari's of the last 20 years. The Lusso would be epic as a daily
@@MrJWW hi
That V12 sounds fabulous
I remember you test driving the blue Gtc4 Lusso.. of all the cars you mentioned I think the Ferrari has it licked! I do think if you drive the new RS6 again it might tug at your heart strings because you’ve owned them before.. and finally...is the Gemera “really” going to happen??
@Mr JWW we need a panamera turbo s sport turismo into the channel. 😆 Best for the family!
Excellent car. Love the interiors 👍🏻
I hope a nicely optioned urus is also on the test drives.
QCT in Sheffield have a fully loaded 2017 lusso in a dark gray that looks super cool yet grown up.
Would a uk winner get a RHD car from Omaze? They seem to be mainly for the US...
In the terms it says this about winners outside the US as well:
In all other countries the Grand Prize will be shipped (net of all taxes) to the nearest deliverable location, at the Winner's expense. Any applicable import duties, registration costs, or further taxes or duties of any nature due in the destination country will be the responsibility of the Winner.
Hands down the perfect daily!
Wow that V12 Sound!
What a spec!! Bang on mate
What an absolute weapon. Amazing
We took our two sons all over Europe in epic road trips in our 456GTM - they / we have memories from those years that are so special
This is at the top of my list too. I want a supercar, but I also want to be able to take my daughter and wife on trips in the supercar. 4 real seats and N/A V12 is a winning combination.
Also,like Shmee said in his vlog regarding the GTC4 Lusso,there aren't other cars,at the moment,doing it better than that,specially with that 6.3 n/a V12 and 4 seats!
2:32 Ok I saw that!
What?
This thing sounds insane
Another top video James. Keep safe. Traction ON
James, I don't know yet which Aston Martin you're planning to consider. My daily driver for this purpose of moving kids from kindergarten to home to football to kid's karate is an 2018 Aston Martin Rapide S, which is superb. Slightly smaller engine, but V12 with an amzing soundtrack (but not as aggressive as my V12 Vantage S or a Vanquish S) and additional doors, which is very helpfull to sit in my 19 months old daughter into her rear facing seat. I can imagine that it is pretty difficult to do this in a GTC4 Lusso.
Think this over. I love my Rapide S. It was build till last year. But you do know that for sure an you have best relationships to Gaydon - so try it!
This car provides everything you need in a daily except great fuel economy, which probably isn't anywhere near the top of the priority list. I love it!
This is a shooting brakes.. the rear seats are comfortable with low centre console just like the Bentley GT. The worse rear seats are in the AM Rapide, the centre console is too high, looks cramp as though we are in a cocoon hihi.. really really marvellous. For daily usage I don’t need a powerful car, the Bentley Conti GT is good enough as i am able to bring along my grandchildren at the rear. Thanks bro 🤓💪💕
It wouldn't hold a candle next to the Lusso in terms of raw excitement but Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo?? Top Gear pitted the two together in a nice piece a few seasons ago. Would be interesting to see your comparison. Love the channel. Stay safe 🙌🏽
You need a V12 normally aspirated Ferrari in the garage whatever else James. Can't beat that noise!
You've found the car beside a Bentley Continental GT 2020. I love the spec on that Lusso.
Epic, my all time favourite car, so underrated, yet a massively addictive everyday drive. Would love to be able to one day drive one & find out.
Thats a tough choice, because there are so many absolutely great cars in that class.. new e63s(wagon), new m5, maybe rs6 although it understeers.
I would probably also consider the taycan turbo s. Its just something different, fast as hell, a nice daily, clean, beautiful and a practical 4 door.
The gtc of course has that amazing v12 and gearbox, but pretty bad infotainment tech, 2 doors (or does it have 4?) and less trunk space than an e63s wagon for example.
All cars in that class are great.
Who remembers this one:
Ehhhh Giuseppe what do you say .... Mama Mia (downshift, floor it)
Fun two car garage: 911 GT3 Manual and GT4Lusso. Sorted. No need to look any further. (Macan for the less fun stuff).
I’m in the 2020 m5 comp and am looking to make a switch. Do you suggest this as the daily?
Try the S65 final edition if you get chance. perfect car for daily and for family.
Amazing Video as allways! However perhaps you can also consider a Rolls Royce Wraith BlackBadge?
0:20 confirms how fast does this car pull. It's a daily masterpiece especially with that sound
Just love the GTC4 Lusso it’s the perfect mix of performance with some practicality for that end of the spectrum. Just ask ‘Shmee’ who is currently facing his own dilemma of what he may replace his GTC4 daily driver with. For what it’s worth the Lusso is my favourite car period and I can only hope you choose it!
A really nice ferrari and one to use daily as opposed to a garage queen. Get secondhand though, to save on the depreciation
Hey Steve I prefer this enormously good good GT infused with Espresso Martini:
- The world's best Gin and tonic infused with Espresso Martini, served as a Tom Collins. This gives you three drinks in one. First you're going to feel the Gin, then Tom Collins and last Espresso Martini.
5cl. Gin
3cl. Coffee-syrup
2cl. Fresh Lemon-juice
Shake with ice
Serve in a Highballglas
Top with tonic
You can ad 5cl. tonic in the shaker after the drink is shaken if you prefer that and then strain it in a Highballglas. That amount of Tonic is enough and the Tonic blends better if you pour it in the shaker before strain it in a Highballglas.
Problem with omaze is they only pick American winners. The winner of the Car Throttle comp for a VW Camper was in Arizona or Virginia I think? And part of the sales pitch was how you could just hop in a drive to German etc ... but tough that in the states
Hi. You should try the Audi RS6-R from ABT (740 hp, 920 Nm) ... if possible. ABT has managed to make the design even more aggressive ... the sound of the exhaust is louder. It is one of the coolest family cars. GT4Lusso is much more exotic, but less practical and much more expensive. I think the engine is worth any money ... if you have it. The V12 is unique ... and will remain unique. Used can be a good option, if you care more about the feeling behind the wheel. Because I never wrote on the channel, congratulations ... you are one of the best youtubers. Good luck.
This is the right choice 🤙
Well in the realm of depreciating car would something like the RR Wrath be of interest in particular the black badge?
Continental GT I think is on Sam's wishlist!
Wish Masarati had a little fresher line-up than they do now. I always fancied the Gran Cabrio MC. Maybe a nice 2nd hand deal to be had on that.
I am amazed Maserati hasn’t refreshed yet - Conti GT video coming soon!
@@MrJWW Sweet! Appreciating all the (soft) lockdown content y'all putting out for us. (^^,)
A car thats massivly overlooked with huge discounts is the aston martin rapide. They depreciate hard mind too
Yes yes yes! Buy. Instantly.
You should talk to your buddy Shmee. Word on the street is he will be selling his GTC4Lusso soon; I doubt you could find another one that would be as well maintained as his.
That would be an amazing car for you!
@shmee150 is selling his !
Andrew Kindness he is not
@@andrewkindness6503 Where did he say that?? He only said what could EVENTUALLY replace it...
Silly Andrew
Schmee would agree I'm sure 👍
What a car, I wish the front looked a bit more aggressive, but it's still beautiful. But needs a brighter color! Black looks dull on a car like this.
YES!
James, the search is over. It doesnt get any better than this
Never liked the FF, as you said the GTC4L feels like a new model rather than a renamed facelift - very colour and spec sensitive however.
Others -
S63 coupe
Panamera Sport turismo turbo s e-hybrid
or very left field - Alpina B7
Cheers,
Chris
Alpina never a car I’ve tried and some of their new models are quite appealing
Aston DBX for sure !
I have always wondered if the panoramic glass lets too much heat in or if the direct light becomes too much to bear in really hot sunny day’s.
You should buy Shmee150's as it is a really good spec.
Wow i love this car
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, not sure about the back seats and functionality of them but have a look.
This is not the most practical daily. However it would be super fun in comparison to the other offerings with that V12 when you want to play a little bit.
You hit the nail on iTs head with this one , dont even look any further i would say
That GTC4Lusso would be outstanding for a family of three! As one alternative option to consider, while also substantially less money, the Giulia Quadrifoglio is quite an exciting 4 door for around a mere 80k US
Not reliable, don't know how long it will stay in repair shop
Mine’s been running strong for the last 5 years/38k miles 🤷♂️
In these times of Corona Virus with restricted movement and all the other limitations that come with a global pandemic, a vehicle that is quite often overlooked in terms of its all round performance and spacious interior, also it's economical properties as well as its aesthetic appeal is the Traveller's favourite...the good old Ford Transit Van.
The Crew Cab option with its Isofix capabilities and added seating options is often overlooked.
Having the tow bar fitted also give the opportunity to hitch-up the caravan of a Friday evening and hit the local Aldi's to stock up on their selection of reasonably price foreign wines and refreshing beers and lagers, as well as their vast range of competively priced ready made meal dishes before heading off on another weekend adventure with your significant other.
Given that Aldi's also stock a very nice range of ciders for the lady in your life, you my friend have knocked it off, as the policeman said to the shoplifter.
The Lusso is a better looking car than the old FF. I think a 4 door is more practical for daily driver, particularly if you're carrying a baby seat. It would be hard to put up with trying to get the carrier into the car around the front seat.
I think the Bentley Continental would suit you great James!
OH WOW, What an Absolutely Amazing Video Buddy, I Just Honestly Absolutely Love your Content Buddy, and I've Just Honestly Been Watching your Absolutely Amazing and Entertaining Content for Years now Buddy..! 👊🏻😃👍🏻
🤨 stop with the caps
Buy it . Amazing amazing car, no other options
Wow, 16 month... I remember when you said you were having a child.o How time flies 👍🏻
Mr JWW- great video. I’m looking at buying a 2017 Porsche Cayenne S, 21 inch rims, yet it does not have PASM. Do you know if the ride will be bad without PASM?
The 21” rims will effect the ride more than the lack of PASM - pasm is more for stability management than ride comfort 👍🏻
What about a AMG GT 4 Door or a Porsche Panamera??
I guess Shmee would help the search.
Nikhil Kalyan GT73 (well if thats coming), imagine
They can't hold a candle to the Lusso V12. Best daily I got.
These cars are boring, can't stand up against v12
Audi RS7 i think would be a good combination of exciting, practical, safe in all weathers and kind of cheap compared to the other options you mentioned
SilverBack Gorilla low roofline in the back, try putting a kit in a babyseat without hitting his/her head
Please go for it, an amazing car & it suits you perfectly
Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake is my dream daily.
Matey, I’m literally thinking the same thing. Would love if you mention a few words on child seat fit into your search.
I know its a British love but I have still not found the appreciation for these. Besides the incredible engine and sound that is. Can't wait to see the Porsche and Aston Martin you look at. ;)
Shmee and James gonna be twinning.
If he gets this
Will you buy shmee150 4lusso?
Why don't you exchange both of your Ferraries?
b is for bumpy Britain. noice. Great Colour Combo.
I see Mr JWW in either a new Audi RS6 Avant or that GTC4 Lusso as the top two choices.
I am on edge to see what you decide, it's the most difficult decision car wise. Trillion horse power (Swedish) is easy, 4 seater that flies down the road not so much. The Lusso is amazing and at circa £170k used its a bargain. All in mind will break down, but I would rather stand beside a broken Ferrari than anything else.
Mercedes GT - 4 door is the newest thing on the block.......would love to know your thoughts on it as a daily🤔🤔
since you already have a macan and a gt3, then pass on the panamera......for 150k id go for a 2017 RR wraight or ghost for slightly more.... bentley new continental gt may be an option
I used to think of James as the McLaren guy. Now I associate him with Ferrari V12s 😅
Most likely aston martin now 😂
YES KING
SHMEE150 is Waving. 🤚
