Swapping My F12 TDF for A Ferrari F40!?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- This is the Ferrari F40 a definitive supercar! It was the last road car signed off by Enzo Ferrari himself and it signalled the beginning of the 200mph era for the marque. The F40 is powered by a phenomenal 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine - developing in excess of 478bhp from a car weighing just over 1100kg.
Please give @FerrariSevenoaks a follow on Instagram as a thanks for arranging this amazing car for us!

This is more special than the TDF. In a TDF you're driving a Ferrari; in an F40 you're driving an F40.
Damn perfectly said
Touché
Real talk
That feels backwards a TDF is a TDF but the F40 is Ferrari! Ferrari was always about the racing more than the street cars. It is the most Ferrari street car they ever produced. Outside of that you have to be in the FXX program to get the race car experience.
Thats a very good way of wording it! Perfectly worded
You need to bring back the Modern Classics series
The F 40 of course!!! Iconic like no one else. The ultimate man machine
He kan user F40 for track cars

F40 every single time. Yes, the TDF has a symphonic V12 mated to a incredible gearbox, but the F40 is old school at its absolute best. Four wheels, two seats, a gated manual gearbox, and a glorious Twin Turbo V8. Forever a legend 🤘
F40 every day, you'll never get bored of it and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face each time you get in it
Thank you sir for allowing us to be a part of this magical experience.
F40. Will you ever get bored of driving it? I know I wouldn’t.
Only an F50 or Carrera GT could make the F40 seem boring.
F40 - just so that one day you can say you owned one. F12tdf - stunning stunning car - but the chances of owning one again if you wanted vs the F40.... ? Do it !
That F40 is so gorgeous and when I see the F40 and F50 together I want to cry. My childhood was dedicated to cutting out all the pictures I could of those cars from the Dupont Registry.
It might not have the crazy loud V12 soundtrack BUT the F40 is THE Ferrari's ultimate supercar, the way it stances, the wheels, the insanely agressive design for it's time, the driving focused cabin, the unusual turbocharged engine to be fitted in a supercar at the time.....just genius stuff by the maranello people !
You’ve driven a McLaren F1, F 40. I guess you’re just missing the Jaguar XJ 220
YES!
I'm sorry, the TDF is epic but the F40 is a different level, it's the poster on the wall of millions of children, it's styling is incredible, timeless, iconic. I've watched 2 minutes of the video but I was typing this before the video started playing. Do it! DO IT!!!
Lol those children are now nearly 40 years old, myself included.
The best car ever made for sure! Interesting fact, the first 15 or 20 F40 made in 1987 had more than 650hps and less than 1100kg, and has the maximum speed above 370km / h, before passing the transit rules at the time! They say that Ferrari hides this fact not to depreciate the other F40 manufactured later, knowing that these manufactured first are rarer and faster! Great content as always mate!
Source?!
WOW
Not true. There were 650 bhp Ferrari cars before the F40. Those were the prototypes called GTO Evoluzione. Only 5 were built.
Just incredible & remarkable way how you talk about the cars James. You’re one of the finest lifestyle icon youtuber currently on this planet 🌎 keep it up mate👍 much love from India 🇮🇳
this car has a soul! You can feel his engine! It's magic ! For me the most perfect car ever made! Power, beauty and passion in a perfect combination
TDF is the easy choice imho. Only F50 would make me think about a change with it, being a project of building a road car with as much F1 tech back then as possible.
“It’s like the crescendo of a production”
*hits something*
In the other two videos you spent arround 10 min each. In this one 17 min. Thats your answer. Emotion, feeling, sense of ocations, a true legend. If your can aford it, is a must.
Great content @mrjww, the best for far¡¡¡¡ greatings from spain¡¡¡
Smashing little mini series Jim. Great presentation while looking particularly sharp.
F40 with its turbo engine and exposed carbon was 35 years ahead of its time
Swap for an F40 before your TDF value gets murdered by the new competitzione.
By the look of the market, my comment is aging well ! "Good" F40s are above 2mil USD now.
A true driver's car. No driver aide's, no GPS, no touch screens, barely any creature comforts. And who needs a radio with that orchestra behind your head!?
The legendary F-40 is an iconic raw power automobile a masterpiece, Scuderia Ferrari.
Proper analogue car, I’m 18 and drive an old mgb, nothing in comparison but has the same dainty non power steering and the same raw throttle response from the twin carbs, I hope one day to have that feeling matched by one of these in such a visceral but obviously far more dramatic way
F40 actually Has amazing Aircon James that one must need recharging
Agreed Jason!
Asmathic hamster fart 😂😂
U can spec with/without aircon
As cool and iconic the F40 is, I’d rather own the TDF, it's a lot more usable in the sense of road use and for road trips. The dream would to own both and purely use the F40 for track days. And revving the life out of that V8 Turbo.
Usable = boring
@@joakimkn1 when I say ‘usable’ I mean passenger friendly with creature comforts like functioning aircon and media, phone connectivity etc. 👌
That's what the range rover is for.
@@prtheid as a daily mover, but not as a pure driving road trip; I doubt we’d watch a trio of SUVs on a European road trip. 👌😉
Probably unpopular, but I’d prefer an F12 TDF over an F40 any day of the week. Modern, screaming NA V12.
Personally, I love seeing all the reactions of people turning their heads at the car. I wish more YTers drove their cars through town first to get some reactions!
Only thing better than an F40 is a F40-LM/GTE :D
Spoke to many people at Ferrari, they all said the f40 is a nightmare, break often, nightmare to fix, expensive to fix and not that quick.
never been a F40 fan and not seeing that change any time soon. I am a 550/575/599/F12/812 fan so I would definitely keep the TDF
The F40 is of course a motoring icon. A dream for any enthusiasts. Unfortunately we sometimes have to be practical. You'd probably continue to get a lot more use out of the TDF than an F40. Just ask Sam. As beautiful as his legendary blue F40 is, he doesn't seem to use it very often.
Он его уже продал.
F40 is one of the most iconic and coolest cars ever made but, I personally beleive TDF is the greatest car of modern era. You should keep the TDF as its my dream car. Its the all round capability of TDF without any compromises, which facinates me. I hope that you will be able to own the TDF, F40 and Carrera GT at the same time. That would be a dream life. Lot of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Not even close J...the F40 over the TDF anyday.
Great video thanks for posting.
F 40 for sure, and just blast trough the turbo power delivery band, to really get the "kick and pull" of the spooled turbo's
this 3 car journey is epic, well well done
As much as I love, respect and admire the F40, the TDF just has that extra 'ooomph' of pizzaz that pushes it over the top (for me)!!
😮
It’s insanely elegant and beautiful, such a timeless design
up out of bessels greeen going towards ide hill today
F40 because it’s pure old school excitement, and has no technologies to spoil / overwhelm the driving experience. The TDF is amazing as well, but F40 is as good as it gets.
Can’t beat that sound of the turbo and definitely a good choice you have made 😎
I have owned a XJ220 and driven an F40.. my vote is for the F40, more expensive to buy but a simpler car so probably less expensive to maintain
TDF is A Ferrari (a masterpiece, imho). F40 is THE Ferrari. Period.
From the outside, I believe it's easily the most beautiful car ever built.
...absolutely perfect from any perspective.
Thats definition of Ferrari.Raw,red,fast,beautifull and so passionate you fell in love it cant get out of your head.Time before regulations took soul out of cars
The F40 is my all time favorite car so i'm gonna definitely say, yes I would choose it over any other! 😁
Recently heard the F40 engine described by a Ferrari mechanic as just like two turbo charged motorbikes sitting side by side. Small displacement. But light enough and powerful enough to be just outrageous. When I think about the sound of this car now that statement kind of makes sense.
This F40 reminds me so much of an Abarth 500. Unpractical seating position, turbo sound, single-turbo kick, incredible sound, light weight, minimalistic interior and you can floor it without going too fast. It's a busy little bee as well, so in my opinion - not worth the price LOL, buy an Abarth.
F40 the real car enthusiasts dream car
Analogue supercars like this are perfect in my eyes, as time goes on these analogue beasts become ever more appealing. Things like the F40/50, CGT, 993 GT2 etc... Love these cars.
Need that euro millions win ASAP
Love F40. I want the 288 GTO
Iconic cars. 250 gto F40, Enzo and la Ferarri. The rest are fantastic. So do you want to own an Iconic piece of Ferarri history. If you have the opportunity then 💯 absolutely. Unfortunately the roads around Sevenoaks you could not explore the F40. Fantastic mini series of the F40 to the Enzo. Great that Ferarri Sevenoaks has given us the viewing. Push the button on the F40 . Bravo James 👏
A tubi exhaust F40 , # Dream !! :)
F40 o dia todo, todos os dias 👌🏻🐎 F40 all day every day
Of ALL the modern Ferrari’s, the TDF is probably my favourite, but to swap a TDF for a F40 is a very difficult choice as the F40 along with 288GTO are my favourite classic Ferrari’s. I’d have to toss a coin to decide but I know with either, I would not be disappointed.
F40 or TDF, what a question, that’s a video you need to make James having experienced them both. Us mere mortals can only base our decision on their looks and what we’ve heard about them.
F40, its an icon and will never lose its value.
Niiice. Just need a GTO and you’ve done the lot
F40 without a doubt my brother
She's the ONE ... i always wanted Her ... going back to my Youth ... i have magazines ... posters & Models of HER Beauty ... She is ICONIC ... TDF versus F40 ... thats a tough one ... i love the TDF as well ...but i think i would take the F40 ... because SHE is so raw ... so Analog ... HER Beauty is Timeless ... She's the ONE thats going to put a smile on your face all Day Every Day ... thanks for sharing James .
All time favourite car is Ferrari F40. This is the ultimate drivers car. We all should thank Ferrari for the F40. If it haven't been for this amazing car we will most likely not have the supercar competition between all the manufacturer to day. If ever had the chance to only drive that car for 2 minutes my life will be completed ❤️ Ferrari ❤️
There is NOTHING more awesome than an F-40. Not a McLaren F1, not a Bugatti Chiron, not a Koenigsegg, nothing.
This is the greatest car ever made.
You driven one?
As much as the F40 is an icon, i'd take the F12 TDF nothing beats that car especially the sound is so damn brutal
I'm probably the odd one out... but I would choose the TDF :). Great Video James, and a great series :)
I seen a few of these on car shows and Ferrari events and such things, but the coolest F40 sighting for me was when one was coming the opposite direction in traffic on normal roads outside of Trollhättan in Sweden, some time in the late 90:ies. And it had Dutch number plates! Imagine driving an F40 from Holland to Sweden and back! What a hero!
I was 13 when it was launched and remember the fuzz it made from the car mags at the time, even the weird prototype (the 288 GTO Evoluzione) that proseeded it. Btw, The F40 was my fifth 1:18 scale model, that I got in 1989. I feel SO old now.
Are you sure swapping a NA V12 with a turbo V8 is a good idea?Noooooooooooooooo......maybe you can have both!!:)
Yup. In a heartbeat.
I don’t think it’s even close. TDF is a hotted up series production car. F40 is a truly special car. Of course it depends how you would like to use the car. With as many options as you have in the stable F40 makes sense. It’s a car you hand down generations with a clause in your will that it stays in the family.
My favourite car of all time, I hope that one day I can just at least sit in one. Let alone go for a passenger ride or drive one.
Ps. Still the TDF for mine. What a beautiful thing that is.
F40 is an icon and a riot...but the TDF also rivals it as being one of the best Ferraris ever, while having the exact same attitude of the F40 but in a more practical shape, with a screaming V12. Even the price of the 2 justifies what I'm saying. I'd have a major problem choosing
It has a 120 litre fuel tank, and can get 33mpg on an open road. Ultimatespecs also says 29mpg in the city, which seems cap beyond cap. Could it be that lean on fuel?
I'm forgetting how light it is, considering it's motor
The F40 was the best when it came out and I love the car. I like the F50, 288GTO and Laferrari more but owning any is great
As the late, great Ferrari F1 driver, Michele Alboreto said “it’s a race car that can be used for the road”. Fantastic video this one. Loving the Ferrari content and your thoughts on driving these.
The ideal garage mate would be the P4... however, with so few examples in existence, and equally few continuation replicas, its only an option for a tiny few.
The camera angle from behind you, looking at the road though the eyes of a backseat passenger was fantastic!
Thank you for experience
no... a slow build was amazing and perfect. god bless you and that back camera.
F40 as it is unquestionably the pinnacle of what Ferrari is about, and like you said James, it’s steeped in history and automotive folklore
F40 all day the greatest car ever you are a lucky bloke to be driving such a iconic car
I will go for the f40. But if you had an 812 superfast, it was much harder to pick one. But the f40 is amazing and sounds fenominal
Honestly if you have the money you’d be insane to not buy a good quality low km F40 right now. You could own it for one year or 60 years and never once worry about selling it for less than you bought it for. Cars have transcended their performance and are now 100% about the ‘personality’ of the car. A 1987 F40 and a 1995 FD RX7 (and every car similar) are going to experience an exponential growth in both the number of people who can afford them and who want to be able to say they’ve owned that car they had on their wall growing up.
Take it from someone who rides motorbikes - I promise you that there is absolutely no scenario any ‘normal’ person can come close to utilizing the performance of the top tier of cars can offer. And as our generation grows up our rich peers will learn this and go for style or character instead. Add to that the transition from ICE to electric and you’d be crazy to not fill a garage with the finest the last 20 years had to offer
F12. F40 has a hype like the manuals and JDM among hipsters. That's a "flavour of the month". All limited production petrol cars will become valuable in the electric vehicle era and F12 will bring tremendous value both from investment and driving perspective.
You didn't do a justice to Enzo and F50 by not placing the camera by Dashboard view like you have in this video.....That Camera Angle leads us to a whole new experience of virtually drive the car🙏👍❤️ Obviously i am liking F40 video more than previous two video but you should have done it that way....." The Camera Angle"
F40 because it will always give you that planted to the floor with no aids complete driving experience. And I absolutly love how it looks. I want an F50 so much but if I could ever have one i still think I would go for the F40.
Insane that this came out the year I was born! What a machine
Both! Best of both worlds and the best 2 car garage.
Who detailed the cars? They did a stellar job!!!
Timeless most beautiful car !!! F40, 288Gto and laferrar .No one needs more car
I'd happily ditch the laferrari , don't like it and I'd take the f50 instead .
F40 hands down 1 most beautiful cars in the world .
Please keep your F12 , Huge Ferrari series
When I think of Ferrari......F40 comes to mind
F40!!!!
My favorite car of all time
Get a f40 instead of the cgt (and keep the tdf). Tom has a cgt. To be different, get the f40 (the more iconic car too imo)! Already imagining the road trip scenes down to monaco in one of these.
When it comes to driving one TH-camr said it get the latest technology it is much more secure. In my honest opinion, it is the perfect way from going from point A to hitting a wall and telling everyone you are the best dame driver. When getting behind the wheel of any automobile driving without all the electronic stupidities is way more enjoyable, So to answer your question The F40 ay day. As moggis71 said it's "the ultimate man-machine". Thank you.
It’s simple.
If theres only one car - stick to tdf
If you can afford both of them - get f40 and enjoy it on track days.
Ofc the F40 may be a better investment but obviously you won’t be able to enjoy it on an everyday basis. Dunno. I would just get them both lol
You make me feel old james...I was 24 when the f40 was released...always perfured the 288gto tbh
Love the visceral appeal of the F40. But I REALLY love the sound of that screaming V12. TDF for me, please. OR…812 GTS.
F40 100% Make it happen! 👍
kind of hard to choose when I haven't driven either of them and I've only seen one of those in my lifetime :(
it is hard though because i mean for sheer enjoyment it's gotta be the F40, but i would want to drive it a lot lot and the TDF is better for everyday use with its creature comforts. Sometimes you don't always want to be at the edge of your seat all tensed and some what stressed. It can be taxing especially driving around those UK tight roads yikes. Choosing between these two is not something I would want to decide on, but it's definitely a problem I wish I had :(
I don't think the TDF vs F40 is even a question. The appreciation of the F40 alone might buy you another TDF in the future.
Reminds me of my first super car poster when I was at school... Absolutely fantastic car
F40! great video! ... how about in the coming episode, a Bugatti EB110! 😊
