1991 Ferrari F40: Driving The Dream Car

What the hell is happening with Petrolicious videos? Where does that hideous music come from? What about doing things tastefully?

Getting tired of sponsored films and spoiled babies getting air time.

Hmm, it’s ok but take a look at this one:

That’s how a 288 GTO likes to be driven…

The most coveted car on earth, at least in my mind.
Petro, we will always be out here begging for more F40, but give us some emotion, and thrills. Next production, lets see the F40 really driven in anger on track.. not artful drifting, but work it for raw speed the way Enzo would want. Nail the rev-limiter, jump some curbing, and wring it out, dammit!

For a little history from the mouth of the man himself:

There’s an unwritten rule that says videos containing F40s must be offered with a warning to have a beverage close at hand. Petrolicious’ failure to adhere to this rule has resulted in my current state, the very reason for the rule’s existence: drool-induced dehydration. I was expecting more, something worthy of the videos of its predecessors, especially the videos on the 250 GTO, 512M, and 312PB. There needs to be a second video on the F40, much as there has been for the Porsche 911 2.7 RS, BMW 2002, and BMW M3. The F40 is a drug, yet Petrolicious has… Read more »

Hey Guitar , what do you know about François Delecour and his story with an F40 ? the only thing is that he crashed the F40 of a friend ( Jean Becquet , who owned until three F40 !! ) , a sunday morning in 1994 on a narrow road near Mont Cassel ( north of France , very very far from Monte Carlo !! ) where he lived , beeing smashed by a man in Citroën ZX at a crossroad ! that’s all . this F40 whas repared after long time , but unfortunately definitively lost when totally burned… Read more »

When I was 10 I was in the pits when they used to race in Del Mar and was almost run over by an F40, best day of my life….

Uh, something is going wrong here.

I find it hard to believe but in the first few seconds of the video the driver looks to be checking his iPhone. Strange.

What makes Petrolicious videos great, besides fabulous video, editing and sound track, is the emotional connection between the driver and the car. I’m not feeling that here.

I believe he is the son of the founder of Weather Tech? For those wondering.

How old was this guy when the car was made? Was he even born?

The car ? Two thumbs up

The driver/owner .. what a prat !

The video ? Amongst the lamest

Nice video but it felt more like a preview to me. In my opinion, one of the best F40 videos was presented by Chris Harris where he compares the F40 to the F50. He gives a detailed look at the car and drives it in a manner that is highly entertaining, and of course his infectious enthusiasm is a joy. I have attached a link for those interested in a much deeper and longer look at the F40

If you want the engine sound of an F40 driven by a real man check this out:

1970ies F1 driver Jacques Lafitte on a track with a F40LM. The sound will make your pants wet…

Ummm what….the heck does this guy do to drive an F40 every day…..

all I can say is that I can’t wait to see new films every Tuesday…

WoW! Nice! I just wished the film was longer and with a more in-depth look on the car/owner relation/history.

Btw, is it me or there’s a “Miami Vice” vibe on the night scenes?

Wow, nice video and you used perfect sound track! Before watching this video, I read this article – https://dyler.com/posts/86/ferrari-f40-brutally-beautiful-and-exciting

F40 is an amazing supercar!

Anyone know the name of that song in the background towards the end?

One of the best dashes in existence… the mouse hair is form/function, inCARnate…. 😉
love it…
But video too short… everything else perfect…
thanks- Kurt

Wonderful video. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer

Brilliant! You guys are getting really good at capturing the ambience and mood of these drives. Thank you!

Amazing video. The original supercar. Great job guys!
