Not only is it the quality of the content, it's the delivery that makes all the difference. Harry's garage, car reviewing for the real car lover!
Harry is a class act, and almost in a class of one...I think Harry's magic sauce is he is "authentic" and it start the minute he begins. Not always easy on camera...I remember his early days at EVO.
@@Tracertme Yep followed EVO from day one, Harry made that special too!
Yeah he’s great. Too many people that do car reviews on here are full of ego. Not Harry.
Yes, genuine quality car-enthusiast's content from the guru! Many thanks Harry. "Too fast for the road?" Yes, after 2022 aren't all new cars to be fitted with Active ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaption), that will limit the car to the speed limit of the road, and data log it, so the police can prosecute you later? So you won't be going over 60 mph once out of town on those local roads. And local 'old-pick-ups' will be overtaking you in your new 2022 SF90. Cheers.
Fantastic video as always Harry. If ISA is introduced, these types of cars will be relegated to just driving slowly around Harrods and Knightsbridge in traffic jams, showing off... or day trips to the German autobahns, where anyway speed restrictions could soon be introduced - the ADAC has softened it's opposition to restrictions due to climate change? What do you think, Harry?
For me the V8 Ferrari peaked with the 458: as fast as you'll ever want or need, gorgeous and a great sounding naturally aspirated engine
Totally agree. Best looking one since the 355 too. Speciale for me!
Agreed. The problem with the Speciale is the price... at ast 260 k€ and keeps increasing :-/
Gotta be 430 manual for me
Didn't like the 458 until I drove one. Totally brilliant car. I'll have an Aperta please.
My 2019 aventador s is pants
Will trade for a 458 special
Christ Harry. The locals must see you driving around and think to themselves
" there's that farmer git in another supercar talking to himself again".
Possibly the coolest farmer around. I wonder if he pots around in his tractor, holding up traffic, on non car review days.
Mr Git to you
@@mualup Harry probably has one of those collectible Lamborghini tractors
Yeah and the buddy goes: What Clarkson?.....
hahaha
Typical British Understatement:
-"Let's see what happens when I press launch."
*silence*
-"Yes. It launches."
He's not British, he's from the Wirral
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u So he's British then
🤣🤣🤣
The "silence" also contained a little "ooomph" I believe...
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u which is in... what country?.... easy now
Harry you're the best car jounalist/enthusiast over the whole web. Period.
It wouldn't feel like Sunday without Harry. Bless you sir!
Man that’s the truth there
Just wonderful
To me personally he is my TH-cam Jeremy Clarkson! but a sensible version!
Just found your channel yesterday and devouring your content - just love this stuff, great shots , great editing and delivered with all class and no bullshit. Thanks so much to all involved.
Who else watches Harry’s Garages past reviews like TV re runs I love this channel just straight up classic style reviews for real car guys
Why am I more interesting in the Yaris GR. I want to see Harry's review of this more than supercars.
Yes love that little car, I saw Matt from Carwow consider to sell his Porsche for the new Yaris GR.
I think that after these 700-800hp rockets, petrol heads will soon swing back to useable power and driving enjoyment.
Agree 💯%!
yes what a good back to back that would be, from a driver's perspective on public roads.. something you can exploit and enjoy to the point it puts a smile on your face all the time... never thought I would say that a Yaris v ferrari.. :-)
@@Tracertme yes... Also, the depreciation on the Tributo in the first 2 months ALONE will buy the GR Yaris, and pay for parking, fuel, insurance and maintenance for a year and a nice driving vacation in the Cotswolds or New Forest besides...
And you will arguably have more fun driving it because its usable (and repairable if things go pear-shaped)
The Tribute only makes sense for billionaires and you tubers to own.... its fun to see their adventures, but no way would I want the financial headache...
Also Ferrari is going to launch another model in 19 mins soooo.... there's that 😊😊
£2,400 for Apple Carplay is taking the piss.
Of course, as is the useless passenger display and that horrible lump on the bottom of the door mirror, all best avoided.
Don't tick that box on your order form
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u I won't be ordering carplay
I don't blame them one bit and find the outrage slightly odd because the buyers spend 50-100 grand on no less overpriced, pointless options or eight grand reversing cameras.
How else are they going to fund their F1 program?
As always....a “real world” review of a fantastic car....thanks for keeping things in focus Harry.
Wonderful video and review, everything put so succinctly and, as usual, I felt I was along for the ride! Excellent stuff!
"Oh, dear me" That's a good summary.
It’s not an attractive looking Ferrari I don’t know what he sees in it.
@@GaudineSecond best looking Ferrari to date after the Pista.
@@Gaudine I like it and I agree that it's more handsome than any McLaren. But that's is subjetive.
@@Gaudine You can't argue against subjective opinion.
@@ukbondraider to date? I don’t think you meant to say that. Ferrari’s V8 design peaked with the 458 Italia. After that after single mid engine v8 Ferrari was an evolution of that kind of like what Porsche does with 911. But instead of making the pininfarina designed 458 more attractive they kept ruining it. Now we have this mess. The back looks plain weird and the double large tail lights were a bigger statement than these quad ones on the F8. The front end is way too busy and they still didn’t move away from that dated headlight design. Oh and the interior is over 10 years old now. New vents here and there won’t make it look new. Look at the 812 Superfast as well it looks way worse than the f12berlinetta. The design got busier. I understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For example I think the SF90 looks great and fresh and the F8 should’ve looked like that but instead it had to be a separate model for much more money because development costs a fortune and they need to make a profit. Anyway I’m not a fan of modern super cars or modern cars for that matter. The 60s had the best designs IMO.
"too fast for the road"... What is NOT too fast for the road these days, even a base "sports car" like the boxster or cayman is too fast for the road.
There´s fast, and there is silly fast.
At least in a cayman you can go WOT through 2 gears and keep your license. No chance with this car.
The current M5 is faster than most supercars in the late 00s early 10s. Heck, some SUVs are as fast as the modern sport cars
Not when you're driving
That’s why cars like the gt86 exist, maximum fun with low ticket risks
I always look forward to your videos ,thank you Harry .
New subscriber to Harry’s channel. What amazing content. So much to keep me busy. Thanks Harry 👍
You have just summed up my problem with modern high performance cars, even the ones I can afford. I would end up in jail.
I even have problems to keep myself in check with my NB 1.8 miata, i can't imagine how it would be with this car. Not for me as well.
Yes... or in a hedge... This is too much power for publoc roads... impressive, but..... just too much...
I have a modded Focus ST (got about 360hp) and even with that I have this problem, couldn’t imagine having one of these and just wanting to cane it all the time!
@@raydoherty5419 yep... I could never afford this, but I would either be terrified of (a) dying (b) being arrested (c) scratching the carbon fiber or (d) all the above....
I like what Chris Harris said about the SF 90. Its impressive, but what would I do with it???
Cheers!
@@deXXXXter2 You have a thoroughly exploitable yet usable, thrilling car there for everyday use. Enjoy (NC owner here).
I've been seeing a theme with supercars lately. Jeremy Clarkson started to talk about the cars getting too fast a few years ago, and now Harry and even Chris Harris.
Makes you wonder what the future will hold for supercars. Perhaps styling and comfort will become more important than speed?
Light weight and agility, as everything will be getting heavier.
It's already happened with Superbikes as R Smith says. Yes, you can still buy a crazy 1000cc race bike but the biggest growing market are the detuned naked versions that you can actually enjoy on the road without ending up in prison for speeding in first gear! I know I sold my my GSXR1000 and have more fun on my Triumph 765 with about half the power, as you can actually use it.
I think the Alpine A110 shows how you make a great enjoyable drivers car for the road.
@@aDaWaN and yet people still buys the same ‘usual’ heavy and overpowered cars...
I yearn an old Lancia, possibly the 8.32 of his video, with wood interiors any day ....
First video I have watched of Harrys. The car was beautifully and thoroughly described for my taste and look forward to watching many more👍🏼
I had to replay that 'leaving town' boot ! Holy ! A really honest shot that conveyed to me the power of not only this car, but all of these modern day 500+ hp sports cars better than any shot or description i have seen or heard to date!
Great watch, thank you Harry and team, for you are the realest!
Gorgeous. . . but that wing mirror “nipple” is terrible. Can’t believe that got through the design process . Still a wonderful looking car
Looks like my willy when its cold
@@rvpsilva9213 way too much info! lol
Braggard
It's a camera you fool
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u Oh fuck, you mean thats been recording the whole time.... Umm Harry! How do you clear wing browser history?
£2400 for Apple CarPlay? I’m sorry, but anyone who is prepared to pay these silly option prices deserves to be robbed.
I mean, they already are 😂😂
For the buyers of this type of car it is like me having an expensive lunch for $30.
Our 2020 Citroen Berlingo has it as standard :-D Just this Ferrari Option would be more than 10% of the purchase price of that car. Hilarious ...
And shot.
They don't make these cars for normal people, who realize f2400 for Car Play is a total rip off.
Fantastic review, all-around honesty, and no sugar coating at all. How refreshing to have an expert give it to you straight, no bullshit... Thanks !!
great review Harry - keep em coming.
Great review Harry. Thank you.
It’s hard to believe this is just a “junior” Ferrari. Hopefully I can pick one up second hand in a decade or so.
I think the real "tributo" to the mid engine V8 Ferrari was the 458 Speciale. That was the best send-off for the platform.
Enjoyed your knowledge of the specific design and engineering features that most reviewers never talk about or don't even understand.
you can always rely on Harry giving a great honest review
Who needs top gear when you have Harry's garage
I'd love a new Grand Tour though...
@@MetalTrabant there is a new one out!, Worth the wait of you ask me.
Maybe it's the colour but this looks more like a Lotus or a Noble than a Ferrari to me
Looks VERY Lotus.
Rear 3/4 view looks like an evora
@@MrLundefaret I don’t see much Lotus except a bit of Evija in the headlights. I personally agree with there being a bit of Noble in it though, M600-esque rear lights
men, a lotus or a noble? from where? the F8 doesn't look like anything in the road, and it still have the classic lines of the 458
Previous generation Corvette at the front; 1998 Lotus Elise at the back. 2012 McLaren for the antique-looking side intakes. "But it's a Ferrari"; and the Emperor has no clothes.
Always well spoken and informative... class!
I love these reviews. Subscribed right now. I already saw a video of you a while back I remember it was good.
Sums up the dilemma of the modern supercar. Brilliant car, but just by watching Harry's body language, you can see that the power delivery is so ferocious that you seem to be right on the edge when you push it - and Harry is a very competent driver.
Not just supercars. Even super saloons or sportscars like the M2.
Cup2’s and not a super warm day are likely a big factor too.
The best ☝️🙌good man Harry!
Love your work Harry 👍👍👍👍
Love Harry’s channel!!!
Proper honest review.this is what we need. Not just drooling because it's a Ferrari or moaning it's too expensive just the details and ab honest review.fabulous content
Wow - 5,576 views in first 37 minutes. Harry, you are a legend!
It's actually over 12,000 views on my counter at 37mins. The 'public' counter doesn't keep up on popular videos for some reason. Odd..
Enjoyed every moment of this video. So much so, I’ve literally watched it three times. Thanks Harry, extraordinary review.
Another fantastic and honest review Harry!
Controllable? That car looked like it was skipping and skating all over the road. If you don't lose your license for speeding it looks like the ordinary person would end up accidentally side swiping the car in the other lane.
After about 15 minutes of driving this I would probably end up in a hedge.
Or the local blonde bombshells arms
Or in the nick.
Most do, don't they?
It'd take me about 30 seconds :-)
You think you'd last that long? I reckon first bootfull of throttle coming out of a turn
Thanks Hazza.. great coverage 👍
Another masterpiece Harry....bravo.
I would definitely save 10k for the famous red engine cover!
If the F8 is too fast for the road, just wait for the SF90!
Fancy bringing out the SF90 Spider before any of the hardtops are delivered!!
@@BMW7series251 Ferrari is taking the piss out of its customers, as Damien @thecarguys pointed out so well on Friday.
The SF90 is AWD! It will probably be even easier to drive and have more traction than F8.
The Tesla roadster is going to be even faster than the sf90
I love your content, Keep it up!
Good honest review, appreciated, respects from South Africa
Brilliant review. Amazing how you can be so down to earth in a £325,000 Ferrari. Thanks Harry!
Agreed. What we need is a new line of Dino. Something you can enjoy driving, without breaking every law of the land. Great video as usual Harry. 👍🏼
So we got a new "Dino"... With 830 bhp 🤣
I love this channel im fun because i see car i will never seen in my life from close distance here in Greece thank you Mr.Harry's..
Harry, 2 things. I really enjoyed this Ferrari review. I am hoping for you to review the Roma model soon. Second, I wanted to personally wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Keep up the elegant, high quality car reviews. I will continue to watch your channel. Cheers!
The sheer amount of digital technology used in today's cars makes me not want to drive a modern car.
Like ever.
Totally agree. It's a beautiful car but too many gadgets.
It's not that bad in a daily driver, but kills the fun in a weekend hobby car. Better buy something vintage for oldschool fun.
Ok gramps
The problem I have with all these supercar/hypercar brutal acceleration figures is you can' t enjoy 0-60 anymore.
Yeah, it's just way too easy and over too quickly which i guess is the point of a 0-60 test.
@Darryl Cashman Yes but that means risking your licence every time you want to enjoy your car. Don't get me wrong, if i could get away with it i'd be doing that all the time but in our surveillance/nanny state modern world you just can't get away with it anymore.
Get a Huracan Evo RWD and you are set for life. Far less money too.
@Darryl Cashman and that's a speed where you are going to jail if you are caught. These cars are shit.
Without manual gears and all the rubbish electronics it's no fun, no skills needed, just a few buttons
Brilliant! Loved it mate 🏁👍
Another brilliant video as usual
I currently own a 355 with a manual transmission and capristo exhaust. The new Ferraris don’t interest me much. I could see maybe trading for a 458 or F12 someday but probably won’t. The 355 is fast enough, sounds better and looks better.
I'm begging Harry to review exactly a 355 manual with a capristo. Totally agree nobody needs more than that. What's the point of having 700HP domesticated by electronics?
the 355 while being a lust for the eye, it is a utmost nightmare as reliability concerns...
I agree. Once a car is right you progress away from perfection.
I like the old Ferrari’s as well the 288 gto is one of my favourites
go and drive an F8
Watching with a beer happy Sunday all
Another top top video Harry
As usual,superior quality !
A beautiful machine but I’m more intrigued by the yaris gr that’s just been released. Says a lot really.
I sense we'll be seeing some of these being pulled out of ditches...
Or wrapped around a tree.
Didn't knew it has the ability to fly over trees across a bend or jump over ditches by 'dialing the slip'.
@Real M sounds great! The riches who can afford them are making a good investment I guess then..
Your the man! I love this channel. I was just wondering what equipment you use in the cars to film? Looks and sounds great
one of your best videos....good review thx
“Do not bother with the sat nav, you phone is a gazillion times better” in a £320k car😠
You dont buy a ferrari for functionality
Phone is better than almost all car sat navs
I've just watched about 5mins of this video and had to stop to have a proper rant.... Ferrari are having everyones (who can afford to buy one) pants down, to me it's like they've gone into self destruct mode....
@@hindmonk how is that? They are making desirable, competitive cars. In terms of drivetrain, hands are tied due to emission regulations
Just wait till their SUV comes out lol.
@@TsLeng Yes and owners of the right editions see a return on their outlay.
I have watched so many of Harry's reviews that I feel like I know my way around his neighborhood!
If I would, I would wait for him to come by just to shake his hand and say 'thank you'.
I’ve been on furlough since March I so miss that piece of road in my way to upper Heyford
Great review of a fab car, nice watch by the way Harry
I remember the days when if you told people that you had 300bhp, they would say..... "WOW!!!"
I remember back in the 80s when cars with big V8s were still making well under 200hp...
@@bbc_junior4863 are you from the US by any chance? :D
I say wow also when a car only has 1bhp.
That car is incredibly beautiful! It's absolutely shocking how gorgeous it is with the lines. That Bleu is also stunning!
Fabulous video. Thank you very much Harry.
Got recommended your channel.....omg....you sir are the best journalist I have ever listened to. You are a cross between James May and Chris Harris. The attention to detail is perfect. Yes Jeremy Clarkson is the one everybody knows but the true petrol heads amongst us knows who we would rather listen to...the answer is you. Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
I think this “our car produces bigger numbers than yours game” has gone too far between manufacturers. A beautiful looking thing but why do these things need to be that quick? It looks utterly unusable why not give it 450/500hp and just make it enjoyable instead of pointless. Having said that this is another great video Harry keep the content coming !
Might want to blur out the speedo there Harry!
@14:00 I love your calmness and focus when accelerating. Sunglasses on. Unbothered. I just started laughing and replaying it. No annoying talking when focussed. I hate it when people overdo their reaction. This is very good. Lovely.
The only car review show on TH-cam that is classy and honest.
Another mega video Harry!
At least Harry is an honest TH-camr not promoting cars under the radar like some TH-camrs!!! Cough cough
@@gd8202 haha...JA advertises a lot of the time without disclosing
@@gd8202 you mean the constant BMW plugs 🤔🥱
@@jolark2259 indeed. Half of the reviews are for his bum chum at BMW Berry (Heathrow). Use caution with JA reviews
Class content in a world 🌎 of mediocre content. Thank you Harry 🙏🏼
Hey Harry, how would you sum up the F8?
Oofff, roight
Good evening! I can't wait for your review on the Maserati MC20. Best Regards
Great video as always loving the launch 😆 pure Italian thoroughbred
I wish I could afford one, just so that I could tell the salesman: 'No, I don't want any options, just sell me the base car'.
got to have the Ferrari shield though? Massive cheek charging extra for those!
Apparently they sit you down in a room with a very sexy lady to discuss options so you don't want to look tight.
Unfortunately it would be a nightmare to sell on , as buyers want all the options
@@healthiswealth6797 those of us who buy cars without all the bling are usually interested in driving it rather than resale value. There are others out here who appreciate driving purity and don't want to pay for extra stuff they don't really care about. Unfortunately in the last couple of decades there have been too many people who see buying and selling cars as a way to increase their wealth. Manufacturers are part of the problem, starting with Porsche!
@@rob390929 what happens if you're already a very sexy lady? Asking for a _very_ good friend with a few hundred K to splash on some wheels...
I've got to say that I find the sound mega compared to mclarens, the 720s is stunning, fast as hell but it just doesn't sound as light and menacing as Ferraris turbos do. The 430 and 458 were on a league on their own, but as far as hybridization is coming, this loud-sounding slightly high pitched v8s must be appreciated
Thanks to Harry for this honest review.
Stunning video as usual! Could you maybe try and try your hands on the fastest car in 1998, the aston Martin vantage?
The whole time you were driving that, all I was thinking was that you'd be having more fun in your Esprit or Elan.
Exactly. Those are quick and fun, this is fast and terrifying. Must be stressful to drive it around, scared that a little too much foot work and you’ll end up in a ditch.
@@Ashfielder I think that was the point Harry was making. The electronics are so good it will prevent this from happening, providing of course you don't switch it off...
It seems that ferrari have basically traded the drama of of a great sounding naturally aspirated engine and a manual gearbox for out and out speed. Seems like a pretty shity trade off.
@@mmtot They don't have a choice in the matter, nor does any other car manufacturer. The regulations dictate what manufacturers do today. The answer is to buy an older car like a 430 or 458.
@@grahamtricker4103 I'm sure they could squeeze 500 horsepower out a naturally aspirated 3.5 put a manual gearbox in it and keep the weight under 1300kg. If lambo can bring out a 5 ltr plus hurracan I'm sure Ferrari could.
Brilliant review as always, and wonderful engineering from Ferrari. It's a rich collector's item but seriously, RWD, 720 hp and Cup 2 tyres in the UK in November? I know Harry can handle it but many cannot - it needs to come with a health warning.
Such depth of knowledge and common sense . The best car reviewer on the net .
Great video...love that power and handling...amazing...
The exhaust sounds like I'm making pigeon coo-ing sounds into my elbow while wearing a sweater.
Oh yeah that thing everyone does 😂😂❔
Another great review. The F8 looks fantastic. Love the colour. But Harry is right. Just too quick for mere mortals.
I swear you left the same comment on a Roma video....... so you don’t like V8 Ferraris?
Gorgeous. . . but that wing mirror “nipple” is terrible. Can’t believe that got through the design process . Still a wonderful looking car
one unspecified option: lawyer fees - another 250K
Excellent video Harry. Its arse reminds me a bit of the old McLaren F1. But I keep going back to what Richard Hammond said about modern Ferraris being ‘A bit daft”. This one fits into that category. I’d love to see it thrashed around a track on a warm day!
Fantastic review !
The amount ferrari charges for extras is insane, carbon engine covers 10k forget that
£2400 for Apple car play that comes standard in a golf.
Yeah its an absolute joke. They're just taking the piss out if their customers. You cant have engine covers that Audi have as standard at 50k as a 7k option on 210k car.
Also I never thought you could have too much carbon fibre. But now Ferrari offer almost everything in and around the engine bay, in carbon, its just... grey. Masses if grey. For 35 grand extra.
If you can afford to buy this car and the maintenance costs involved then 10k options don’t mean anything. This is a beautiful car but not the Ferrari I would buy. The new ones are too fast. I love the older manuals, the V12s etc. A nice 328 would be fast enough for me.
Think I'd have the outer carbon in the engine bay but the red covers on the actual engine. Am really liking this F8!
Depends on the car's colour
Thank you for this Harry, also very much like your watch.
"right I'm gonna press launch and see what happens" quickly change to different camera angle.... oh yes JOLLY GOOD.
Gday Harry do you mind sharing what camera gear you are using? Love your content. Regards from a long time classic car enthusiast and Tifossi from Australia.
4 point harness is dangerous if not put on as he explained. if you put it wrong in big crash situation the belt will squeeze your stomach instead hold you to your hips.
Thanks for the comment and I fully agree! I see so many people put 4-point harnesses on wrong, I had to point out the correct way to do it. They really ought to be 5 or 6 point but guess that wouldn't be so popular with customers who only buy them for the look. They're also s**t quality too and hard to adjust..
They will also break your neck in a serious crash without a Hans neck brace, they should not be legal imo
Very easy to submarine. If race harness, minimum 5pt to be safe.
Porsche made the right choice in the GT3 RS: 5 point harness AND regular seatbelt.
I don‘t get why none of the luxury performance brands make 4 points using adapted 3 point hardware: have one belt left and one right with a fixed buckle each and a belt tensioner including the explosive crash pretensioners on both the hip belt attachment points, and (slightly weaker) belt tensioners with force limiters on the shoulder belts.
It would reduce submarining considerably because of the explosive tensioners, it would ease the strain on the neck because of the force limiters (so you don‘t snap your neck and the airbag can do its job), and lastly it would even be more comfortable to put on and drive with (e.g. when you have to lean out a window).
Crazy performance figures !. Love the colour of that blue though. £100k of options, makes you wonder why none of that is standard on a £200k car.
The F8 and 488 are epic! Great review!
Another brilliant video
