I think one of the most impressive things Tim ever does with his cars, isn't all the miles, or refusing to sell for massive profits, or the crazy colour schemes, it's that he willingly takes them to not only deal with Parisian drivers, but he also willingly takes them around the Arc de Triomphe roundabout!
He (any owner) is not allowed to sell the car as Ferrari contracts do not allow it - they have the right to buy it back at original price if he upsets Ferrari in any way.
@@BMH1965 There are ways around that though, it's been done plenty of times. Obviously, doing so can make it harder for you to get Ferrari's in the future, especially the limited/special ones, so it probably wouldn't be a smart move on Tims part. However, it's certainly possible to sell cars like these for the massively inflated amounts they go for when in high demand.
Tim..This is what you do best….travel reporting and showing us just what it is like to own and drive cars few will ever own. It is totally correct to drive yours..a 2 mile garage ornament is not a car but only a possession.

The Purosangue is a stunning car that has grown on me. Your spec is beautiful (even though I am not a fan of the repetitious blue Ferrari specs) and am glad that you not only got an early one, but are really putting in the miles and enjoying your ownership.
@@matthewkobylinski510 So? Does your Toyota have a 6.5L N/A V12?, Does it have Side Slip Control?, Does it handle like a Ferrari?, This idea that car people have of "Oh, it looks like another car so it is the same car 😭" is one of the most immature things I have ever seen. And on top of that you got the model wrong, it doesn't look like the Crown SUV (It's actually called the State) it looks like the Crown Sport which is a smaller Crown SUV.

Those traffic circles are places where indecision, indifference, boldness, and thread the needle driving all come together at once. Thanks for the tour.
I know another of the lucky ones that has a first allocation Purosangue. He has had a number of Ferraris as well as a few other high end supercars and he says this is an absolutely fascinating automobile. To date, his most favorite car he has owned because it fits seamlessly into every road car desire category he could have in a car he could literally drive everyday. Personally I think it’s uniquely beautiful in pretty much every way. Ferrari smacked it out of the park with this car for sure. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
It’s just incredible what kind of person parked next to you in the garage in Lyon; “I’ve got to get as close to the Ferrari as long as I can get out of my car within the line” Glad you’ve got PPF!
They didn’t even try and hug the opposite line - why on earth would you park closer to the car next to you and not the other side which is car free!? Blows my mind.
How blessed are you to travel the world in exotic cars. I've never been to Europe. I have never seen any RUclips video, where a car drives out of Monaco somewhere. I also have never seen that train before. Does go under the channel? I've always been a poor man, never seen the world. At my age 64, I probably never will. Oh well there are riches waiting for me in heaven. Merry Christmas Tim.
Tim don't underestimate how much your name adds to the value of the car. Everyone knows a Tim spec will be fully optioned and optioned correctly like it should be. You've owned lots of high end cars so you kniw how to order a car and get what needs to be on there and what doesn't.

Getting a tire repaired instead of buying a new one makes complete sense, even if you have the money to buy a new one. Glad to see a class act even if the trip was full of inconveniences
Ya kno, you can buy a good kit for £20 and you can do it yourself? It’s pretty straightforward, take a pair of pliers, take out whatever is in it, ream out the hole with the ream tool and make it slightly bigger and rough up the rubber, then use the other tool in the kit to install the plug with some rubber cement on it and then trim the plug. It could keep you on the road and will last til you get back to the UK… Or you pay a tire shop £40-50 to do it and they use a patch by taking the tire off the rim and seal inside. Just a thought
SheShmee sighting!!! She really is a huge part of why you are so successful with her excellent camera skills that she deserves a LOT more credit for. I for one recognize and appreciate her and want her to know
Great video schmee i really enjoyed that one. What an awesome car. Heres to more great trips in 2024. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the team.
Dang, I'll admit I knew there would be some demand for the car but I'm typing this as I whach so for you to sit there and say at the beginning you've had multiple offers kind of surprising
You must know that we have "EZ Pass" here in the US, which does much the same thing as far as your Euro pass, speeding you through toll booths. Shortened my drive time to NYC from DC by at least 20-30 minutes when we got an account, about 15 years ago, at least. Thanks for the tour through Paris.

Glad you found the E-Movis tag helpful, I found it worked sometimes or not, and it took ages to raise the barrier, at least twice I had to reverse out and approach a different barrier with resultant swear words from other car users, and I notice you just waved the sensor about rather than affix it to the windscreen. It spoiled my holiday, approaching dozens of tollbooths with dread in case it didn't work. I'm not sure it's cheaper either.
I’d sell it while it’s in high demand at the moment. The bubble has burst on the exotic market if anyone hasn’t noticed. Beautiful car but you have your limited Ferrari now and it’s definitely time to cash in.
He won’t just because Ferrari wouldn’t be happy if he sold it within the first if not 2 years I’m assuming he wants to be in their good books for future limited edition cars it’ll only go up from here tbh
Great content….this car has definitely grown on me. Ps I’ve been watching you for 4 years or so and never realised how close you sit to the steering wheel!! Is this due to the set up in the car or just personal preference? Keep up the good work. X
It’s not just you, in September I purchased 4 new tyres for my 2019 Mustang GT. Last week on Thursday I got a low pressure warning for the offside rear, damage right by the sidewall so irreparable, new tyre required. Tyre replaced on Saturday and all tyres checked as part of the Tyre Shops usual practice. The next day I get a low pressure warning for the near side rear, this time a screw which turned out to be repairable when I visited the same Tyre Shop on Monday!
Without failure, no matter what precautions (e.g. angle, location, etc.) you take to isolate your parked vehicle some oblivious clown will somehow manage to ding your doors... It's one of autolife's unfortunate realities.
I made a similar trip in a rented Audi A5 TDI 3.0 and it seemed just as nice as driving that Ferrari. The four-wheel drive really stuck to the road driving from Switzerland to the French Alps. Frankly, once you're on the Autoroute, I don't see what difference the badge on the nose of the car makes.

Hey Tim, sorry to hear about all the bad luck you've been having im sure things will return to normal soon. I've got a quick question. With all the countries you visit and drive through I wondered, how many different languages do you know fluently to be able to communicate on your vast travels?. Cheers.
@@bg22757 but this Is Tim we're talking about.. the grand master of planning ahead.. he would learn an entire language just to drive through a foreign country lol.
For such a high class place, Monaco has some fairly budget looking tunnels. The tunnel you went through right before getting the tire replaced looked like a mine shaft.
16mpg haha! 20 gallon tank, that’s about 300 miles, more like 250 around town. 10K miles a year is about 4K a year on fuel. Plus the deprecation of this car within 3 years. I’d be amazed if it doesn’t lose half its value.
Shmee I think you couldn’t have said it better as you passed the four seasons; The Purosangue is everything and more that you want it to be from feeling like you’re in a rolls on the city streets to a pure Ferrari gt car experience liken to the 812 super fast when you want to open it up on the main fairways. But it’s more than both so it’s no wonder it’s getting astronomical attention right now and I think you may be wrong about one thing, that the hype won’t last. I think it will last longer than people expect and yours being one of the first production cars will hold double what you paid for it for atleast a year or more until they become more mainstream! Love the car and love your videos they really are amazing when you vlog your car tours especially.
Tim have you thought about using tire plugs for punctures? I know you wouldn't want to go silly speeds with one in a tire, but much better than all the hassle and could get you out of a tight spot.
Plug would be good if needed to get you to the tire shop, but a proper vulcanized internal patch gives one peace of mind when making a 900 mile journey with a $500k plus car.
@@pedalmike Yeah I get that, but it would be much better and safer to drive with a plug in for a few hours or even a day or so instead of driving about with a nail in it, that could fall out at any-time.
Isn’t that a little bit overpriced? I mean, it’s a really…….really beautiful car but I thought it would be a lot cheaper. Hope you’ve had your share of bad luck behind you and have some positive stories ahead. Cheeeeers ❤
Shmee was probably one of the first customers to get a purosangue. Pretty good move from ferrari - they are not realy know to do stuff with social media influencers. But shmee is one of the few that allign with the expectation ferrari has for its customers. He also moved up in status by owning 3 brand new ferraris + the roma + the fxx. Just wait a few years and puresangues will be as common as a lambogini urus or a g63 (if ferrari is able or willing to fullfill customer demand). Prices will go down. I am also pretty sure that ferrari will make an entry level puro.
@@TheSaw410it's the brand name that's expensive not really the car. Its like buying property of the same size in different areas, one will be expensive while the other might be cheaper. 😂
telepeage doesn't make such a big difference when there are big traffic jams since the highway is blocked before it expands to multiple lanes so it's not like you can move ahead of the queue.
@@moeketsimaphela18just like we all do in SA. I drive a crappy Ford every day and bring out my real cars for a quick drive on the weekends. While looking over my shoulder for taxis and criminals.
In 2014 I bought a new Ford Ka on PCP. In 20 months and under 10,000 miles I had 3 punctures, the last one just a week before I changed it for a Fiesta - was going to go to the dealers to sign the papers and had to change a flat first :-( The first one was when the car had less than 1000 miles on the clock. Some cars just seem prone to punctures. Tyre technology is rubbish, really. Part of the reason I changed it before the initial 24 month PCP was up was that the punctures were getting me down
If you can get 1 million or even 750 you should absolutely take it business wise. You can get another in a few months when the price goes down and you have plenty of other cars to drive. Also to be honest, i really dont like it nearly as much as the GT4lusso
That’s not how Ferrari allocation works. If he sells this now for a huge profit he can forget getting an allocation for anything limited and special ever again.
@@davidmarshall6409 kinda sad then. Honestly this is the least interesting car i think tim has ever had. A poor sound, a really unattractive color and not really an SUV. To me its no more than a GR YARIS with a horse logo and a v12. I find it really uninspiring considering what other companies are doing on this end. Porsche to me nailed the concept. More keen to see Ferrari try to do a rally style car. I find the huracan to be a great concept but quite ugly. Would love to see Ferrari do something more like the GT4 Lusso as a rally car rather than this
100% shmee would be selling the Purosangue tomorrow if it wasn’t for the fact it will affect his relationship with Ferrari and his priority for high end special cars. I think behind the smiles he’s probably annoyed he can’t sell it and make a profit
Hey Shmee, please replace that winter tire at home, if you ever decided to sell this car and the new owner decided to do 300+kph without knowing of the plugged tire it could potentially be a deadly crash
I don't have a good feeling about the Ferrari prices. No matter which model, from the 360 to the LaFerrari, they've all gone up. This is a clear sign of a bubble, but I have no idea when it will burst. 1 million for an SUV is just too much, especially because the predecessors FF and GTC4Lusso were not really successful, there was no oversticker and Shmee bought them used instead of new. I trust Manny Khoshbin. He canceled his SF90 allocation because they wanted to sell him numerous other cars like the Purosangue. He doesn't currently have a Ferrari in his collection, even though his son is called Enzo. I know other collections who have every car from Porsche to Pagani except Ferrari. I had the same feeling at Ferrari Munich. Unbelievably unsympathetic. I wanted to find out about the 296 GTB, which I can't afford at the moment, but maybe in 1-2 years. Then I decided I'd rather burn the money than give it to these morons and ordered an M3 xDrive on the same day and have had a lot of fun ever since. Next goal Lamborghini.
Seeing the images of road trips in front of the Eiffel Tower, I think if would be great if you had some enlarged images of past experiences and trips around the Shmuseum.
For some reason I was disappointed to hear 16 mpg! I'm not a fan of the Purosangue but you're doing a good job of changing my view. I have, however, always liked the 456, 612, FF from launch..
@@AB-80-X In the same car? I should have added that I'm so used to hearing supercars running on reduced cylinders etc. and getting 30mpg that is becomes depressing. My 2.0t Saab struggles to get 35 mpg..! The weight of the Ferrari is probably the issues... and the fact it's a glorious V12..!
Saying no to a half a million quid profit must mean being in Ferrari's good books can be pretty valuable.
He won’t be allowed to sell it. Can’t believe he had to buy so many brand new for the new one.
If he sold the puro they might pull his sf90xx allocation

@@bg22757 but this Is Tim we're talking about.. the grand master of planning ahead.. he would learn an entire language just to drive through a foreign country lol.
Ferrari has him by the nuts! I was so happy to see Jay Leno video on Ferrari sales practices.
You should do a tour in all the Ferraris n take them to Eiffel Tower🤧
The device you use at 9:20 is also used in Portugal, as we invented it :) Over here it's called "Via Verde", or "Green Lane" in English.
For such a high class place, Monaco has some fairly budget looking tunnels. The tunnel you went through right before getting the tire replaced looked like a mine shaft.

How is that a bad thing?
@@ccalvinn MediTerRaNeaN EuROpe, its all the same mate, wealthy or not it is not very impressive when it comes to road infra.
Great to hear you are not selling the Purosangue, it's a very interesting car for being a Ferrari. Keep it!
It’s now worth 1 million, let me drive it 900 miles… priceless! 😄👍👍
Telepeage tags are great but there's no discount for using them - in fact theres some modest admin charges on top of the tolls. As you were .
16mpg haha! 20 gallon tank, that’s about 300 miles, more like 250 around town. 10K miles a year is about 4K a year on fuel. Plus the deprecation of this car within 3 years. I’d be amazed if it doesn’t lose half its value.
OMG noooo...? You don't say...
Shmee I think you couldn’t have said it better as you passed the four seasons; The Purosangue is everything and more that you want it to be from feeling like you’re in a rolls on the city streets to a pure Ferrari gt car experience liken to the 812 super fast when you want to open it up on the main fairways. But it’s more than both so it’s no wonder it’s getting astronomical attention right now and I think you may be wrong about one thing, that the hype won’t last. I think it will last longer than people expect and yours being one of the first production cars will hold double what you paid for it for atleast a year or more until they become more mainstream! Love the car and love your videos they really are amazing when you vlog your car tours especially.
Tim have you thought about using tire plugs for punctures? I know you wouldn't want to go silly speeds with one in a tire, but much better than all the hassle and could get you out of a tight spot.
I'd say we all need a big dose of Tim's "bad luck" in our lives... wtaf does this guy achieve?
Plug would be good if needed to get you to the tire shop, but a proper vulcanized internal patch gives one peace of mind when making a 900 mile journey with a $500k plus car.
@@pedalmike Yeah I get that, but it would be much better and safer to drive with a plug in for a few hours or even a day or so instead of driving about with a nail in it, that could fall out at any-time.
Bring it to Norway for snow! :) We do have salted roads though...
Isn’t that a little bit overpriced? I mean, it’s a really…….really beautiful car but I thought it would be a lot cheaper. Hope you’ve had your share of bad luck behind you and have some positive stories ahead. Cheeeeers ❤
Shmee was probably one of the first customers to get a purosangue. Pretty good move from ferrari - they are not realy know to do stuff with social media influencers. But shmee is one of the few that allign with the expectation ferrari has for its customers. He also moved up in status by owning 3 brand new ferraris + the roma + the fxx.
Just wait a few years and puresangues will be as common as a lambogini urus or a g63 (if ferrari is able or willing to fullfill customer demand). Prices will go down. I am also pretty sure that ferrari will make an entry level puro.
its not the list price, its sold out everybody wants it, so people are offering lots of money for it. I can imagine he got an Offer for 1M
1 million dollars and looks a Mazda SUV
@@TheSaw410it's the brand name that's expensive not really the car. Its like buying property of the same size in different areas, one will be expensive while the other might be cheaper. 😂
@@TheSaw410it costs only 400.000 euros
telepeage doesn't make such a big difference when there are big traffic jams since the highway is blocked before it expands to multiple lanes so it's not like you can move ahead of the queue.
Buyers are to get their own mid next year here in South Africa ❤
Where they keep them locked in and hardly drive them
@@moeketsimaphela18just like we all do in SA. I drive a crappy Ford every day and bring out my real cars for a quick drive on the weekends. While looking over my shoulder for taxis and criminals.
Always best to carry a can or two of Halfords tyre weld fixes everything. I used it in a tyre that was on a car for 2 years so great investment lol
Imma have to disagree with you Tim but ITS AN SUV NOT A GT CAR
Love it! But my £8k 4.4 TDV8 L322 is also amazingly comfy and a probably costs the same as a single wheel on the Ferrari!!
i had 3 nails in three different tires in one week on 33” off-road tires earlier this year. sometimes, you just have a rough week 🥲
That is catastrophically bad luck, jeesh!
I have never heard someone say jeesh😂
In 2014 I bought a new Ford Ka on PCP. In 20 months and under 10,000 miles I had 3 punctures, the last one just a week before I changed it for a Fiesta - was going to go to the dealers to sign the papers and had to change a flat first :-( The first one was when the car had less than 1000 miles on the clock. Some cars just seem prone to punctures. Tyre technology is rubbish, really. Part of the reason I changed it before the initial 24 month PCP was up was that the punctures were getting me down
If you can get 1 million or even 750 you should absolutely take it business wise. You can get another in a few months when the price goes down and you have plenty of other cars to drive. Also to be honest, i really dont like it nearly as much as the GT4lusso
A few months 🤣 these will have a wait list for several years. Look at the new GT3RS
That’s not how Ferrari allocation works. If he sells this now for a huge profit he can forget getting an allocation for anything limited and special ever again.
@@davidmarshall6409 kinda sad then. Honestly this is the least interesting car i think tim has ever had. A poor sound, a really unattractive color and not really an SUV. To me its no more than a GR YARIS with a horse logo and a v12. I find it really uninspiring considering what other companies are doing on this end. Porsche to me nailed the concept. More keen to see Ferrari try to do a rally style car. I find the huracan to be a great concept but quite ugly. Would love to see Ferrari do something more like the GT4 Lusso as a rally car rather than this
I was wondering if you would ever stop this annoying greeting, and here you are! Historic moment !
Million dollars with a check engine light on before 800km 😂😢😢😅😂.
Epic, Tim! Boy that's a WHOLE lot of petrol!!
100% shmee would be selling the Purosangue tomorrow if it wasn’t for the fact it will affect his relationship with Ferrari and his priority for high end special cars.
I think behind the smiles he’s probably annoyed he can’t sell it and make a profit
Hey Shmee, please replace that winter tire at home, if you ever decided to sell this car and the new owner decided to do 300+kph without knowing of the plugged tire it could potentially be a deadly crash
I don't have a good feeling about the Ferrari prices. No matter which model, from the 360 to the LaFerrari, they've all gone up. This is a clear sign of a bubble, but I have no idea when it will burst.
1 million for an SUV is just too much, especially because the predecessors FF and GTC4Lusso were not really successful, there was no oversticker and Shmee bought them used instead of new.
I trust Manny Khoshbin. He canceled his SF90 allocation because they wanted to sell him numerous other cars like the Purosangue. He doesn't currently have a Ferrari in his collection, even though his son is called Enzo. I know other collections who have every car from Porsche to Pagani except Ferrari.
I had the same feeling at Ferrari Munich. Unbelievably unsympathetic. I wanted to find out about the 296 GTB, which I can't afford at the moment, but maybe in 1-2 years. Then I decided I'd rather burn the money than give it to these morons and ordered an M3 xDrive on the same day and have had a lot of fun ever since. Next goal Lamborghini.
My neighbour just took delivery of his Purosangue, Looks nuts in person.
Nice Mazda CX-5
Yup. It's so boring. Looks so cheap.
Hey Shmee, I can't wait to see you star the next Batman movie, unless you've already done it. Bravo for surviving Paris.
Lift plus? Yeah ok Ferrari… 🙄
I really need lift plus plus but that doesn’t exist yet 😩
Seeing the images of road trips in front of the Eiffel Tower, I think if would be great if you had some enlarged images of past experiences and trips around the Shmuseum.
You should just cut your losses, dude. A road legal "FXX" ain't worth it.
Said no one ever
This is first fxx for road it will be worth more in future
Lmao bro get a job and a life. Can't belive i found a tim hater, so rare.
SF90 XX will not go down in price unlike the normal SF90.
@@Bow_SecSay plenty. If you like the new one, fine whatever. The old XX's are actually worth the headache.
For some reason I was disappointed to hear 16 mpg! I'm not a fan of the Purosangue but you're doing a good job of changing my view. I have, however, always liked the 456, 612, FF from launch..
@@AB-80-X In the same car? I should have added that I'm so used to hearing supercars running on reduced cylinders etc. and getting 30mpg that is becomes depressing. My 2.0t Saab struggles to get 35 mpg..! The weight of the Ferrari is probably the issues... and the fact it's a glorious V12..!
A Million Bucks? 😵
Or more!
I don't think anyone with a brain would pay 1000000 dollars for a ferarri not an suv when you can get a lusso with the same engine and seat 4
Would love to see a different set of wheels, maybe solve the tire issue as well.
Terrible. Sadly this car wont make good RUclips content…… Sell it
It's a 100% premium on the secondary market because thats the percieved value of having to tank your relationship with Ferrari Spa.
Ferrari MX-30
Sounds like a great opportunity to collaborate with novetec exhaust systems being no stranger to v12 Ferraris.
Very expensive Mazda CX-5
This trip hasn't been so friendly to your tires Shmee my goodness two of them. Merry Christmas and a blessed 2024 everybody.
The Curseangue
Fair play Tim, you make the long drive look so easy, even on the Gumball you never seemed tired
@@AB-80-X it’s a British term of endearment
Sell this hideous thing.
I was not ready for how hectic that roundabout was 😂
Tha don't look like a 1 million . Looks like a Hyundai
Sounds like 1

Happy Christmas and Have a wonderful New Year 🎉🎉
