600bhp Ferrari 250 GTO resto mod thrashed // The Late Brake Show

  • Welcome to The Late Brake Show. When is a Ferrari 250 GTO not a Ferrari 250 GTO? When it was built over 15 years (back in the 1990s) using parts of crashed other Ferraris. And when it is twice the power of the original 250 GTO, which still remains the world's most valuable car (the last one selling in 2018 at auction for $70 million).
    Jonny borrows owner and builder Will Tomkins' (co-owner of www.project-heaven.com) Ferrari 'speciale', which was born from buying hand made alloy bodyshell, a modified chassis of a fire damaged Ferrari 400i and the V12 of a 575 Maranello. The latter would have had 515bhp when new in 2002, but Will modified the throttle bodies, ditched the emissions exhaust system and spent time dyno tuning it to produce 601bhp - twice the power of an original 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO!
    Stop. It's time for The Late Brake Show.
    Is this a recreation? Is it a replica? We call it the ultimate Ferrari hot-rod, with the looks of a 1960s racer but the 210mph performance of a millennium Modena product. Will built it to use and abuse, so Jonny drove the car on road and then on track (airstrip - he couldn't afford Silverstone) to breathe in the emissions and fever of a properly sorted race-bred resto-mod.
    Thanks to Project Heaven for letting Jonny burn through 130 litres of super unleaded in under 100 miles for the purposes of video content.

    I love how resto mods encompass everything that was great about a classic then add in some modern power which ultimately gives you a raggable collectable. Most 250s are hidden from view only to be seen by billionaire owners... This one is on the back lanes being given the beans. 👍

    • @popuptoaster
      @popuptoaster 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Brakes is the most important thing from a useability stand point, many classics have enough power even for today but the brakes on pretty much anything pre '80's were just not good enough to stop you fast enough if a modern car anchors up in front of you, it didn't matter back then the tyres were crap and everyone was in the same boat but these days, brakes, suspension and tyres need the "restomod" treatment more than anything else.

    Jonny, I've been a fan of yours for years and since the beginning of lockdown I have been an avid watcher of your vids.
    I got wind of you due to the urban exploring element of your content. I used to love stumbling across old cars in woodland as a kid so some of your earlier vids were right up my street. I think the content you produce is excellent (you can tell ypurlve got a background in TV!) and I haven't found a vid that I haven't watched right through.
    With this one though you have smashed it out of the park. An incredible car, shot is skill and talked about with such passion and enjoyment. Amazing!
