    Mat is meeting a legend!
    He’s flown over to America, and he’s got his hands on the legendary Ferrari F40! It’s one of his dream cars, but the question is, will it live up to its legendary status?
    Well, let’s start with the looks… And what a looker it is! Around the rear, it has an absolutely iconic shape, with round tail lights, a massive spoiler, and three exhaust outlets! You can also see into the engine bay through the lightweight plexiglass cover on the top. Along the side you have huge side vents to feed the engine, and the iconic shape continues around the front, with everyone’s favourite feature… Pop-up headlights!
    Step inside, and the F40 has a truly old but classic interior. It comes equipped with wind-down windows, no steering wheel adjustments, and a couple of simple buttons for the climate controls on the dash. There’s felt lining across the dash and centre console, and the red-lined sports seats are still pretty comfortable.
    When it comes to performance, the F40 is equipped with a glorious 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 480hp and 580Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox, and when it was first released it was the fastest production car in the world, with a top speed of 201mph!
    Back in the day, an F40 would cost you around £160,000, but if you’re looking to buy one now you’d be hard-pressed to find one costing less than £2,000,000! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

      Yes yes - I noted the logo from the right side of the car, so I guess the idea is logo heading to 'right' -> not to 'left' :)
      Being on the right side of the car the logo itself heads like 'O' first - not the letter 'F' like it would be on the left side.

      The American version is almost 200kg heavier and has less hp than the European version of the F40!! The real power is ever more than the claimed by factory A curious fact is that the first units of the F40 produced in 1987 "they speak of the first 20 to 25" have the same power as the 288 GTO EVO and are even lighter!! In tests, they exceeded 370km/h but did not pass the traffic regulations of the time, so they were modified in the units produced later!! Some of the things you said that are enoing are only in the American version, including the belts on the seats, and those uglier seats, the electronic signals too!

      @@JackV-tw8bw 959 was way ahead of its time with ground breaking features we nowadays take for granted, but it was just a bit too... easy to own. A bit too daily driveable. A bit too normal and uneventful. Stepping into the vehicle wasn't as much of a spectacle, it was just a thing you could do without care or fear. It lacked that emotion you get from expensive to own, unreliable death traps you're too afraid to drive apart from some very, very special occasions. 959 was special on paper, and special from engineering standpoint, but it wasn't ultimately that special to own or drive. Technically it was better than F40 in every way, but technicalities don't inspire masses as much as pure, raw emotion does.

    It always comes down to the F40 being my favorite car of all time. Nothing looks like it. Back in '92 I was lucky enough to see one of the 250 or so sent to North America. My friend and I would visit a Lexus/Infinity car dealership. They dealt in some exotics so you'd never know what you would see, sometimes. We were there late at night checking out a couple 993 turbos outside on the car lot. The first production year I believe. Then this red color catches my eye. It was an F40 encased in it's own showroom with lights beaming down on it. I thought I was seeing things. We went back the next day when the dealership was open and asked if we could look at it. We went back multiple times to visit that car, the staff got to know us really well. Once every few days the salesman would start it up and roll it around the car lot to keep it in check. I was able to witness that one day and listen to that engine sing. Once in a lifetime experience.

      The greatest SUPERcar even made, maybe. The greatest overall car ever made is probably a tie between the Honda Accord, VW Beetle, Ford Model T and the Ford Mustang. Ya gotta consider affordability, reliability, practicality, serviceability, etc along with relative performance...to earn the "greatest car ever made" title.

    The motorized seat belt was used on North American cars in the early 1990s. Regulations required cars to have a supplemental restraint system. Those that didn’t have a driver’s side airbag in the steering wheel had this type of motorized seat belt. My mother’s Saturn SL1 had them. They were fairly uncommon. When I used to go out on a date in the Saturn with someone new, she would invariably be freaked out by the belts (and the cheapness of the car), but would laugh when I told her to imagine that we were in a rocket ship.

    • @skylined5534
      @skylined5534 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I really didn't get that weird NA motorised seatbelt thing. Just looks like a pain in the ass, over-complex and does EXACTLY what a standard 3 point belt does without potentially garrotting you when you first get in.

    • @JaredDixon
      @JaredDixon 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, it's really a stop-gap safety regulation that only lasted a few years in North America. Basically, if your new car was manufactured after a certain date and it did not have an airbag, it was required to have a motorized seatbelt to "force" drivers to at least have an active seatbelt at all times. It was quite common across the board for US cars from the early to mid 90's Obviously, even expensive cars were impacted since the cost to re-engineer airbags into an existing design was often not worth it.

    • @vardiet
      @vardiet 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I remember having seen this feature in the nineties in a VW Corrado in Germany. This was an unsold US car and VW was selling them back in their mainland. For me this system was worst than a regular seatbelt as a lazy driver can ignore the horizontal belt and keep only the automatic transversal one.

    • @bytesandbikes

    The F40 is undeniably beautiful, but I was always a 911 turbo fan. I’ve owned many non-turbo 911’s from the 60s to the 90s because I was always afraid of Ferrari and its reliability issues. I currently have a customer who has an 84 308 GTS with 18,000 original miles, end it always seems to need something, but it sure is beautiful to look at. Very nice to drive also. I had a 1980 911 SC, That was reliable as a swiss watch. Oil changes, brake pads and tires, that thing was fantastic and so much fun for the money. But if money was no object, I would definitely have some Ferraris in my arsenal.
