      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.

    • @johnnym9760
      @johnnym9760 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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?

So, if anybody thinks otherwise - be my guest, you are allowed to your opinion. Hats off to Sir Metcalfe.

      @@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.

      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).

    To all those complaining about the in car tech and the list costs, you're unlikely to be the target market or even potential purchasers. Surely this car and the other recent mid-engine V8s are the epitome of Enzo Ferrari's attributed quote that "I don't sell cars, I sell engines. The car I throw in for free". For the money you're paying, you're buying a superlative, class-of-its-own engine. Those who buy accept the CarPlay costs, because if they wanted in-car tech, they'd buy an Audi with three screens or whatever the vogue is.

As a supercar addict I know I can enjoy my supercars in their full glory on a Sunday morning in the hills around our farm and get nothing but love from the neighbours - here in the UK this car is a one way ticket to fines or frustration. Unless manufacturers start to make low weight, low powered cars for enthusiasts in quiet roads and the heavy traffic becomes nose to tale autonomous driving vehicles for the masses, driving for its own sake is going to be over in the UK. Sad but true - this car is utterly wasted on the UK road and on 99% of the UK buyers.

    To all the bores below. Ferrari has to buy an Apple licence for car play and the cost is divided among the hundreds of cars they sell whilst VW etc have millions. Also the wing badges are £500 each 20% is flipping VAT and the wings are special scooped out variants and the badges are long lasting works of art and there is skilled labour involved and it's not a funkin eBay sticker. When you order one just don't tick those boxes if it offends you so much. Imagine a world without Ferrari and a very small number of other builders.

    I agree with you; it really sharpens up the 488GTB and for me the return to 4 tail lights links it much better to its heritage. As to the performance, I haven't driven the F8 yet but from the experience in the 488 I think they've done a good job of giving these cars effortless acceleration in normal use while reserving the absolute madness for when you specifically go looking for it. And for a turbo it sounds a lot better than it has any right to! Bodes well for any Dino-type car that might be in the pipeline. But I would never drive a car like this as a daily driver. I'd want to reserve it for times when I could enjoy it and not dilute that sense of occasion. After all, if you get used to an F8, where do you go next?

      I was never a fan of that exhaust. For some reason the muffled scream flicked the switch for me. Either way, the F355 is my all time favourite Ferrari with a possible exception of the F40

    I prefer the Pininfarina designs. Less complicated, not as perfect, but with more soul, imho. And the rear of the F8 is too Deborah. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd go for a 911 now.

    I remember Clarkson saying this a few years ago and it’s a fair point. Amazing car but they have footed so fast now it’s almost frustrating to own. Funny thing is, EV’s are going the same way, 3.5 secs to 60 is pretty normal now

    • @moogle68
      @moogle68 ปีที่แล้ว

      Except with EVs, you don't have to make compromises to get that sort of performance the way you do with ICEs. Harry literally marveled at the fact that this had a GLOVE BOX, whereas EVs with this performance level are full sized luxury sedans. EVs can also feel like well sorted cars at normal speeds whereas here, Harry is saying it just doesn't feel right to drive at normal speeds. I like the sounds of a good N/A ICE just like you do, but at the end of the day is that ONE factor so great that the rest doesn't matter? Besides, they are already starting to figure out how to get some unique and enjoyable sounds back into the experience of driving. I for one really enjoy the sound that some of these EV motors make under hard acceleration. The whine kind of reminds me of that of a good supercharger, like the one on the Hellcats.

    I find modern supercars to be quite useless, although they perform exceptionally. Within 3 seconds you are breaking every legal speed limit in the country. This is where cars from the 20th century really shine, you can actually push them and row through the gears without hitting ridiculous speeds. Although I admit, this car is much better looking than it’s Lamborghini and McLaren competitors.

    Completely agree, these current supercars are very impressive but for me would be just too fast. I think a lot of people feel the same. No wonder cars like the F355, 993 911, NSX, 90s and early 00s M cars etc are all holding value if not increasing. Those are the kinds of analogue cars a lot of people want.

      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.

    • @crsantin
      @crsantin 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    It sounds like a current McLaren, which is not a compliment. The pricing is utterly contemptuous. The styling is too 'cosmetic surgery' for my tastes. I haven't driven one but there isn't much about this review that would make me want to, either. No wonder its predecessors are worth so much now...

  • @e50teric

    As an owner of an F8, I’ll say Harry’s review is bang on. This car is superb in almost every way. Some folks complain about the muted exhaust note, and I don’t disagree. However, it’s very similar to my McLaren...and sadly the result of having to move away from NA ICE engines. Soon enough, even hybrid tech will be gone, and we’ll all be left with only AI electric cars having no soul.
    But, the F8 is insanely fast, stunningly supple and beautiful in person. It’s the perfect end to Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 run. So much so that while it’s not a limited production car, I see myself hanging onto this one. Although, I do wonder how much it’ll get driven when my SF90 arrives. But, there’s something special about having a piece of the last of something. For that reason, no matter how little it’s driven in the future...every mile produces giant grins.

      That's actually free, with the implication being you'll want to splurge £100k on glossy carbon and other junk so that you can have a nice full plaque to show people, rather than an embarrasing baron plaque with "wing emblems" and "colour coded stiching" ticked

    So in your opinion, do you think you’d have more fun with something like an F355? Something with less power that still revs like crazy but won’t get you into legal trouble within using the first two gears? I think as a lot of modern cars reach performance figures like the F8 has, it makes better and better of a case for the Ferrari back catalog, maintenance not withstanding.

    Our local track has a couple of interesting rules: "3 point OEM seat belts minimum required" and "4 point harnesses will not be allowed." You are allowed to run aftermarket harnesses providing they're at least 5 points with a crotch strap. I'm not sure what they'd say if you showed up with an OEM 4 point harness. It'd be pretty ironic if fitting track options to your Ferrari made it ineligible for track use. The point is probably moot, as I don't think Ferrari is allowed to sell the 4-points in the USA.
    Oh yeah, if you have anything above 3 point belts, they "strongly encourage" the use of a HANS or similar device.
