    I love all Ferraris but the F50 is probably my most favorite of them all. It has always held a very special place in my heart ever since I first saw it in the Need for Speed racing game as a kid in '99. It's just so beautiful and to me it epitomises everything that Ferrari is about: Racing technology combined with a beautiful design. I could look at the F50 forever and never get bored.

    I was mesmerized by the details on the engine, the back end, the profile, just a marvelous looking car. Saw both the F40 and F50 at the Ferrari museum and just sat in awe and did a couple bows before them, I never even went in the next room to see the then launched La Ferrari.

    At the Launch of the F40, it was the most exciting car ever made. Over the next 30+ yrs, only a small handful of cars are as special to drive. Putting the special cars in order, maybe the F40 is not #1 anymore. But, journalists with experience of F40 and F50 always place the F40 higher. The rich, The motor journalists, the Racing drivers, all go for the F40 into their collections. Even they can afford both. Both cars are very good, but the talented and experienced people who have driven both, know the F40 is on another level. Nothing wrong with having a favorite, one of these two or a different car. Each person, has different reasons. Love your favorite car, be happy. I would love to own both.

    I remember when my uncle brought a Bburago F50 in ‘95-‘96 from Italy for Christmas. The box was this grey and black checker print - I couldn’t tell it was a car, so I was unimpressed. When I took the box out of the bag and I’ve turned it around to see the F50...I was just stunned. It blew me away. The lines were so simple but yet so addictive. I played with it for years. The transverse suspension in the back had me amazed. 25 years later, I still have the F50 in my room.

    What makes Jeremy Clarkson way more famous than Tiff Needell is...JC likes to make his shows (Top Gear) dramatic although he himself is way behind Tiff when it comes to driving. And JC would bash any car he hates, a behaviour almost unheard of to Tiff.
    Tiff, on the other hand is a pure car enthusiast who would enjoy driving cars and a skillful driver but he lacks drama in his shows (Fifth Gear) thus not attracting mediocre car fans to watch him.

    I'm not from the UK and only recently found this Tiff person was a professional car racer, big respect for him now.

    I'll never forget the sound the F50 made when I heard it start and rev in person when I was 21 years old. It was awesome.

    Sheer beauty of F50 made me into a car enthusiast. Honestly everyone drooling over F40 being a drivers car but rarely who drove it. F50 on the other hand can be apreciated just by looking and hearing it.

    Very nicely done video, thumbs up for the drone pilot too. Oh, and the maestro Tiff! I watched with headphones on, it's definitely the way to do it...

    I seen that very F50 along side a Enzo a few years ago at the ignition festival in Glasgow in 2017, Thought I seen the number plate before, what a feeling to know I've seen that car. Love the video!!!

    Great video and review of one of my favorite Ferraris. Cannot wait for the 911 GT1 video!
