1961 Ferrari 250 California: A Drop-Top Espresso Shot
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- The Ferrari 250-pick just about any version-was the ultimate 1960s grand touring car and it was introduced to the world before that decade had even begun. More than half a century later its genetic code is still identifiable in today’s top sports coupes, but for this edition of Morning Coffee we’ve ditched the roof for a blast around Britain’s B-roads in a rare open-headlight version of the series II California Spyder. With a Tipo 168 3.0L V12 planted below the sultry length of the hood, four-wheel disc brakes, a shorter wheelbase and a wider track than its predecessor, later Sypders like this one owned by Hexagon Classics’ Paul Michaels offer the strongest cocktail of classic front-engined Ferrari performance and Italian coachbuilt style from the house of Scaglietti. If you’ve had your espresso already, here’s the second shot.

i get the emotion you're trying to convey with music, but i would love a minute of uninterrupted engine sound. it's a symphony in itself.
I was thinking the exact same thing. That V12 engine is a symphony itself, and doesn't need any background noise (music).
I agree.. V 12 engine sound is true symphony..
2 minutes of raw exhaust note, then at the very end, *chickachickahhhh*
I have yet to find a channel that makes better cinematic car videos, Petrolicious is in a league of their own
Try Praemio.
Thank you, @Lil MINI.
I came here for the rare car not the fucking cinema 😠. Don't cover up the engine's music with more music!
Evo does a great job, especially on their car of the year videos.
Spam Can well that was uncalled for :(
The real music was covered up by the music.
Agreed. But in their defense: that composition from 2:09 to 2:39 is masterfully done.
Niels' Garage my fave of theirs was “The 250 GTO speaks for itself”. Should have let this one speak also.
Niels' Garage I agree, but I prefer the Italian V12 Philharmonic Orchestra preforming a different piece...
TH-cam should have a feature where you can mute individual audio tracks, much like you can enable or disable closed captions :-)
Chances are they'll upload an uncut version of this, just like they did with the 250 GTO. Fingers crossed.
Back in 1984 when I was sixteen my friend and I walked into a classic sports car shop in Portland and they had this very car. The owner couldn’t have been nicer and let us sit in the drivers seat. That was a fun day!!
''Imagine. You as a young teenager sitting on sidewalk in front of your house. the only family in the street who owns a car is the dentist, a beige Beetle. the only cars you saw today were two Opel rekord P2, a Citroen 2CV and a Volvo 544. Then, a rumble is heard in the distance. You see a red dot appear that moves fast and it's coming your way. A Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 flies over the cobble stones, passing your house with unknown speeds you ever witness. The only thing that was more thrilling, was the ending of the World war 2, 15 years ago.''
... I wish I had these moments in my life.
I wouldn't mind driving the Deux Chevaux or the 544 :)
and then someone asks "what was that?" and you answer "that was a super car!"
Wow you mean people back then saw Volvo 544's and didn't react to them?
Actually i think @firebird188 is a great story teller.....and thats exactly what the mood would have been. We all know someone who was in the war......that made the 50's and 60's post war (mini renaissance) so special.....I grew up in France.....and in little rural towns.....not much has changed! Although you're more likely to see an Alpine, R5 Gt Turbo or Citroen Deesse than a 250Gtb....Thanks for the Nostaligic moment firebird!
firebird188 That's a beautiful visual! Although now, some 58 years later, if that same red dot rumbling in the distance turned out to be a 250 GT 2+2 as it passed by, I think that very same thrill would rise up inside of me, even being the much older man that I am today! To me, the thrill that car induces is Timeless!
As always a salute to the cinematographers and directors who put together this amazing content
insekt *Cinematographers please, not Videographers...
Apollo 99 I'm sorry
Apollo 99 He's not wrong, seeing as how the medium here is TH-cam and not TV or an actual film. Hence the word "cinema" in cinematography and "video" in videography.
I agree with you! We want to see this beauty from much more angels and not behind some fence......
but initial shots are too close and out of focus
Perfection of classic Ferrari
The visuals in this movie....The music...The edit....On point! Congrats
I just had a crisis, you're buying me new pants Petrolicious. what ab absolute piece of art this video is. unbelievable.
The editing captured the elegance and beauty of this classic.
Well done, that was incredible. The details shots were great because I could and would literally sit there for hours just drooling over the headlights, emblems etc.
“Ferris Bueller’s Grandad’s Day Off”
... What a magnificent soundtrack
Good movie
You tube is a strange place , a beautiful car, beautifully filmed with beautiful music. Why on earth would anyone give a thumbs down ? It’s like hating world peace Lollypops and rainbows 🌈.
Probably Michael Melimbaibro
we loved the video, but please hear us, more pure engine sound and owner comments, that was pretty special about petrolicious
Gabriel Batista Refosco every "Morning Coffee" series always looks like this mate
muhammad shofwan oh, now I get it, you are right. But anyways it would be nice to have some clear engine sound
Sergio Scaglietti is the greatest artist to ever grace the automotive world.
Music and machines. What a tasteful blend!
HDose WRONG I can't hear the car's "music" They always cover it up.
Even with no talks, this video tells things about the car and the owner story. Magnificent!
Even the key is an art-deco centerpeice. Everything about this model and era were just perfect.
Imagine a 1 hour video from Petrolicious with this kind of energy,pasion and feeling on a racetrack between the fastest cars in the world(Ferrari,Lambo,koenigsegg,macharen,Aston Martin,Hennessey,Weismann,Bugatti,and many more)....
The most beautiful convertible car ever built. One of my top three cars ever, and I'm fortunate enough to have been in one. Magnificent in every detail and every respect.
I'm by no means a Ferrari Fan but this is so beautiful that it is the first Ferrari video in quite a while that gets a like from me.
Well done
I absolutely love this video. No words needed. Just the scenery of the image, the pure artwork of car and environment, and the noise of Ferrari in harmony with the music.
Surely one of Enzo's best looking cars ever.
The epitome of "una bella macchina". Today, it's all about the aero - back then, it was all about the beauty. :-)
The cinematography's storytelling really matches the car itself...so damn LICIOUS!!
So beautifully put together, makes me teary eyed to be honest.
*insert comment about music over exhaust*
good grief people, shut up. The video was absolutely beautiful. The music was fantastic, and you can still hear the timeless growl of the car as well. If you want a video of only engine/exhaust noise, there are plenty of those out there - this isn't one of them. Just respect it for what it is and stop complaining.
Petrolicious, great job as always. I love videos like this that can take me away for a few brief moments.
This video, the Ferarri 250 and the chosen music, are all examples of sublime beauty; chapeau !
Thank god for the joy of ferrari and music - perpetual perfection
It’s the most beautiful and still kinda neat car with one of the best engines ever.
A true piece of art.
"What'd I do?"
"You killed the car."
Seriously though, probably my favorite Ferrari of all time, and probably the most beautiful care to come out of Italy.
Pure magic as allways, only thing that is better then watching this is to be behind the wheels of my own hobby car
Fantastic cinematography. The dutch-angled shots of the dash, the tracing of the body lines-absolutely spectacular... I'm not sure how many takes that last shot required, but the result is one of the most well-framed pans I've ever seen. A1 work, Petrolicious.
These are the types of videos that elevated this channel way beyond anything else. Please come back to this format.
Also, seems a shame that this fine thoroughbred cannot be tamed, by a young man. Exactly what Enzo envisioned. Yes I am 56 and would love this machine but would rather have had it 30 years ago
You guys seriously have the best car videos in all of the Tubes.
With that song you have covered the only music I want to listen on this video …this gorgeous v12
With all the comments of people who just want to listen to the raw engine sounds, I understand where you're coming from. But as an artist, i believe the creator of this video wanted to show viewers his or her perception of this magnificient piece of art, which is a contrast between eligance and power, as the title states, a drop-top espresso shot. Smooth yet strong.
Nice to see one of the most valuable cars on the planet being driven.
Questo video racconta semplicemente cos è per me la passione per le auto d'epoca!! Stile , eleganza , amore !!
No words. Just perfect moments. It is the life. Enjoy.
Your videos are just as much art as the works of automotive art you film. Fantastic
The car spoke for itself. Thanks.Very well articulated.
If my wife looked like this car then i would be a very happy man.
sam newman I agree, We ALL would be more than happy...Lucky af!!
So a weak chin/jaw, with a long nose?
If you had as much poke as this car your wife would be in heaven..
Mine does and I am
Just marry the car dude
Stunning video beautifully shot......what a car!
.....such a beauty....such a legend....
This little film was like poetry. Well done.
I love your morning coffee videos, they are so sublime, powerful, essential!!! bellissimo!!!!
All the gadgets that new cars have will never be capable of exude and match the beauty of this classic cars 🔥
Una delle Ferrari più belle mai realizzate.
Love it. Anything with an old Ferrari gets a like from me especially the old 250s.
Maybe I'm just a sentimental old sock, but this video gave me goosebumps ... only Petrolicious can do that.
One of the finest intros you've done. Bravo.
Very nice, no idiot talking about the car just Visual and audio art.
Great cars, and spectacular cinematography! Love this channel.
Yet again some of the best cinematography out there
4 minutes isn't enough to enjoy this masterpiece
The 250. What more needs to be said? Very artistic! Shot very well! Love it!!!
Something that people fail to appreciate nowadays about these cars is that they were 100% handmade in Italy, no outsourced parts, no sweatshop quality buttons and switches made by sad underpaid workers but rather by proud craftsmen, working with purpose and love for their art.
This in my opinion is more beautiful than the one with carenated lights, and easily the most beautiful Ferrari ever.
Why did you dub music over the sound of the engine? WHY?
He bought the wrong car, he didn’t look back walking away.
My thoughts exactly. On the other hand, take a closer look at the guy's outfit, it speaks volumes.
As she did in the Enzo movie
@@fredlabosch5164 Car guys have a wacky fashion sense.
@@rubensflorentino548 Pfff, he drives a 250 GT California Spyder for Christ's sake, AND he KNEW who and what this was shot for, so please, don't wear the same outfit you wore yesterday when you drove your Audi A8 Station Wagon when you picked up your kid from school goddammit.
Fred Labosch And here I was thinking it was cool that he was wearing normal practical attire for a chilly morning drive in a convertible. What’s he “supposed” to wear, some overly slick get-up with shiny trousers, white loafers and no socks?
To everyone pissing and moaning about the music, are you not getting the whole "Morning Coffee" thing? Or that on this channel there are different styles, or themes, of videos, and those styles are identified in the title? Maybe try this. In the morning, before you're really awake, sit down with your first cuppa and turn up the volume and watch it again. It will wake you up. That may have been their goal, strident music and amazing mechanical sounds along with gorgeous video can't help but kick start one's day. So quit with the griping about the music.
Al Terego please get off your high horse. Please don't read the comments if you have thin skin and everything offends you. The comments are legitimate. Some people don't get the opportunity to listen to the sound of a classic Ferrari. They wanted to hear more of a car they may never see. I see them in events all the time. But it doesn't mean I don't respect those who haven't, and want to hear the music these beautiful machines make.
No.
Not a word and still a perfect video. Petrolicious.
Another beautifully shot video!
(Petrolicious deserves an oscar for best picture)
My favourite Petrolicious video.
Tbh, most of the time I prefer the glorious V12 soundtrack. But this time, the music is much better and more suited for these emotional moments!
My heart skip a beat when i see this video. Wonderful!
Amazing!! A piece of art!
This car is pure art
This is not a video, this is a poem
What is the soundtrack BTW?
looks like the perfect quickie ;-)
nice editing related to the music too
so beautiful car...
I couldn't walk away from such a car, without looking back at her.
The best car videos on TH-cam are here
Great Video!! Please more Engine Sound less music. Regards from Europe Barcelona Spain
Wow! My vote for best picture of 2018.
Beautiful matching of the chord changes with the gear changes. Lot of haters of the music but I got it.
One of the most beautiful car ever built in my opinion... I said "one of" because the Ferrari 330 P4 is also a genuine piece of art...
Goosebumps everytime i saw a video in this channel
No talking needed! Great post!
It’s a beautiful, beautiful car!
There's not many cars more desirable than the awesome E30 convertible, but I think something like this gets very close.
Sorry guys but marvelous vidéo and thé soundtrack track just bring us to an other spiritual level😇
WoW!!!!! This and the Austin DB4. amazing
Thumbs up if you would like a channel where there is no music or voiceover whatsoever. Just beautiful shots of the car inside and out and then the car is driven so you can hear the sounds of the car only.
This is why Petrolicious is the best channel on the toob.
2:38 wow!! What a beautifully made video!
I am always amazed not only by the fantastic videos but also by those that criticise some aspect. If you think it should be done according to "you" GO AND DO IT YOURSELF. Go for it and those who appreciate a world class presentation can sit back and critique your efforts
Each week I wait for the next filming and I am never disappointed. I enjoy the diversities of style and presentation.
Lovely automotive film-making!
Pure joy....
You probably have read it in previous comment sections The sound mix should lower the violin sound. Need to hear more of that glorious engine sound. Cinematography just delicious. Great lighting job. bang on boys.
Manejar un carro de esa época se debe sentir como un verdadero hombre
Exquisite video as always
A marvelous car of the century
thats art at its finest!
the camera work is impeccable!
Goosebumps!
Loud dramatic music overwhelms. It's a car. A nice car. A very nice car. A very, very nice car. A very, very, very nice car. A very, very, very, very, nice car...............................................
Just once I'd like to watch a video of the California without background music drowning out the V12. Just a straight in-car video without any cut scenes and no music. Just the sound of the V12 going through the gears to entertain.
If we could of seen and heard a little more of the car driving , would of been perfect 👌
