Latest Chris Harris Video

[pete]

So want an f40 after that (and the budget to run &maintain it!)

You could, and this is just a suggestion you understand, sell the other 72 cars?

Can I bagsy the first pax ride please?

F40 is still a lottery win first purchase. Always has been.

Mine too. Well second after the F1.

The last one I saw in a car park at Oulton had a fit and finish that reminded me of my shed, which I loved.

Nice video, sure that will become a classic, especially with the way Chris used the cars compared to how Ferrari control most car tests. Although he did politely mentioned liking the F50 mostly focused on its engine, pretty clear the F40 was winner by miles in every aspect and the fun he had.

Only thing is my childhood dream Ferrari was always the 288 GTO, expect it wouldn't be anywhere close to the F40 in a real use/abuse as designed test.

Same engine/drivetrain IIRC, just lower boost. As a matter of fact, the F40 came out of a 288GTO Evo programme, didn't it? Bet they'd be closer than you think - barring the lighter weight of the F40.

Prettier car, for sure.

Did Evo not rate the F50 above the F40 in there recent Supercar test?

Great Video.

Insightful as ever, Tut!

F40 the winner, but the F50 is a convertible.

fantastic vid,

not usually a fan of harris, but that was amazing,

so good to see Hales bad in action - hopefully the start of a new page for him.

[GregR]

Where does Harris go next? Longer internet vids... A slot on 'real' tv?

[ClarkyBoy]

Has to be real tv....

pretty sure top-gear is in need of a re-fresh anyway!

Would have to be the 288 GTO for me. A car I've only seen in the flesh once (parked at Brands Hatch 1000kms in '87 IIRC) and struggled to stay upright with such weakened knees at seeing a car I'd listed over and marvelled in the mags (like Lauda's road test in Grand Prix magazine *)

Admire the F50's technical milestones, but by god it's an ugly Ferrari!



* in which he struggled to understand why the gear change was so stiff and notch when the 70s F1 cars were "smoother than butter"

This is the 288 GTO Evoluzione with 650hp and 940kg, but boy have they screwed the nose up.

A chap from Forfar used to have a 288GTO when they were new and boy did I slabber when I saw it.
