Terrific review. I have to say that Chris Harrris and Jethro Bovingdon are the two journalists whose reviews I enjoy the most. Loved it when both of them were on Driver's Republic.
Ferrari isn't a car.Ferrari is art.
The GTO is just unbelievably sexy.
599 GTO is so amazing. That red carbon fiber interior trim looked spot on.
Now we can compliment the f12 over its ugly new brother
@@loganm2766 it'll (the 812) age okay, fronts a bit dodgy but the back will grow on people imo
@@AriesUmbra I’m not a huge fan of the front of the 812 superfast but I’m in love with the rear
Lovely V12s.. Thanks Ferrari!
the f12 is the best looking modern car around
and that sound !!!
That drift at 2:19 tho....ohhhh yesss!!!!
599 GTO would probably be my favourite Ferrari
Great show, Evo delivers again, nice presentation Jethro, loved the way u stitched that...
This guy actually has really impressive driving skill, being able to throw around such an expensive car with such aplomb. I'm also very impressed that he managed to touch on all the bases you have to with a car such as this - speed, agility, comfort, practicality, sense of occasion etc., and the comparison with the 599 GTO was the icing on the cake. Watch the Autocar review to see how easily it can go wrong, and how to miss the basic ingredients for entertainment.
Please more reviews from this guy, this is the first F12 review that I actually thought covered the bases. I was wishing for a little more on how it compared to the GTO and Aventador as a ownership proposition but I think other people might have gotten bored:) Awesome job!
Great review. I like the over steer shots and I'm in love with the music the F12 makes.
one of my favorite reviews on youtube - awesome!
At last a proper review from Evo!!!
Well done Jethro!
EVO allways has the best reviews and this one does not dissapoint , Nice one
Nice one Jethro - great car, great driving and review - please EVO give Mr Bovingdon more of these duties.
As much as I love Lamborghinis (minus Egoista and Veneno) over all Ferraris just look and sound more special.
Finally someone who could agree with me the Lamborghini Reventon is old a little but that's my most favorite Lamborghini. I don't like the Veneno
I would say all that.
veneno fugly i like the aventador sv and the performante but f430 scuderia and 458 speciale is my favorite alltough my heart goes with f12 nlargo hahaa
Great vid Jethro, and the noise of those v12's... amazing
Great review man. Enjoyed this very much.
Great review! Jethro doesn't deserve so much hate. You've got yourself another fan!
Awesome vid! Loved that you brought in the 599
MAAAAAD video, great presenter who actually looks like he is having a great time. Thanks
This is good stuff Jethro! Well done mate.
The f12 reminds me of classic ferraris like the 275 4 cam or the daytona, they produced ridiculous amounts of. Power for the times and would absolutely annihilate the competition.
The F12 is my dream car and holy cow i love it soo darn much. it looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous, and is such a brilliant display of prime engineering that i just cant get over it. I get super excited every time i think about this machine and my finest dream would be to own one. So, yes im working for a material possession, but shit, it's just that good!
Hey good taste, I appreciate that comment. Respect
Oh for sure! Top class :)
The release of the 812 must of made you sad that ugly thing
@@murtuzarahman8954 you predicted the tdf !
Awsome review... Best I've seen yet on this car
Great video, love the drifting!
599GTO is almost a million dollars now in the Netherlands
+Stijn P. Prices of Supercars new and old are rocketing to silly numbers at the moment.
+Rob S One of the biggest exclusive car dealers here in NL has a 458 Speciale Aperta for sale. It's on the dutch version of Auto Trader and it started at €380.000, they've now changed it to around €750.000 lollll
Guess you're dammed
This is how a Ferrari review is done. Great work JB:-)
Sensational. An amazing feat of engineering and passion rolled into one! Love it!
Love this review!
Fantastic review and personality!
best review of the new F12 so far.... it was a brilliant idea bringing a 599 to drive back to back
EVO's video's have become better and better lately. Before, Chris Harris and Steve Sutcliffe were the only ones who could make a video like this. Great stuff EVO!
Best review among all the F12 reviews till now....
Sacrilegious as this is going to sound, the 599 GTO captured my heart with its visceral soundtrack in a way the F12 doesn't. I've had a long affair with GTO's starting with the 288 in my boyhood dreams, and see the 599 version as that timeless styling that isn't too outrageous. Don't get me wrong, the F12 looks fantastic, but it doesn't make me long for it like the 599 GTO. Thank you for including both in this phenomenal review!
What a fantastic video. This car drifts like crazy. Wow.
That exaust note is sick!!
As far as I'm concerned, evo is untouchable when it comes to its car reviews and features. Brilliant work as always, @evomagazine
Great video!!! Love it!!
Great vid Jethro
Great review!
Great review from Evo/Jethro Bovingdon.
P.S.= Jethro, watch out with the kerbs !
Thanks for the feedback. Sadly on a press launch when you have very limited time with a car and have to shoot a large stills feature for a magazine plus a video you don't have much time to coo over the lines or interior. In fact you do just jump in and drive. So by their very nature these videos are really just a taster of the experience - if you want a more considered and in-depth review maybe you should think about buying the magazine when it comes out. There's 16-pages of tech/description etc
Yes the F12 is definitely a direct descendant of the 599, but that's not what my issue is here.
Why did Ferrari ever come out with the 599 "GTO?" GTO as in a car built and sold to homologate it for racing. The 250 GTO's racing exploits are very well known, and the 288 GTO was built for homologation purposes for a racing series that never got off the ground, but what's the story with the 599 GTO? Ferrari never had any intention of taking it racing, so the GTO name was downright used for sales purposes. Getting the Ferrari buying public to go, "Oooh, a 599 "GTO." Gotta get one of those." Going, "Whatever," to the lineage of the GTO variants and the purpose of using the GTO addition to the names of previous Ferraris in the first place.
If anything, since the 458 is Ferrari's GT3 racing car of choice, they could have at least given the letters GTO to the 458, since it is a car that at least goes pro-level racing, homologation issues or not.
I think it was just bad form for Ferrari to give the 599 the GTO name all willy-nilly. Just to keep the lineage of the GTO name somewhat intact, I think Ferrari should have gone with 599 "Speciale" and 458 "GTO," since, again, at least the 458 does actually go racing.
It's a minor issue, I know, but one that just bugs me. It's a slippery slope situation. Next they'll be making "GTO" variants of all kinds of Ferraris to be able to up the price. I just hope I never see something like a Ferrari FF "GTO," with no intention of taking it racing, as well.
i guess you could argue it was the precursor to the 599xx but yeh agreed
Sandra Rios go fuck yourself. You have nothing to complain on the legend the gto
My goodness that car is beautiful and sounds amazing. Great review!
Awesome review
Best review of this car so far... Man I am gonna miss the 599 GTO though...
Great review
Best journalist review to date.
great review of the greatest sports caar.keep it up
evolution son, it never stops.
Fab review as always when Jethro is behind the wheel. Really love the F12, but the GTO is in another league to me!
Jethro has provided a very solid review with some good driving shots.
The calls for a review from Chris Harris are valid as more and more people have heard about his relationship with Ferrari.
Chris's reviews are the benchmark these days (mind you, audio wasn't great on the last one) resulting in people looking to him for a level of consistency.
I don't believe we have a right to discredit all other reviews.
Like the cars they should be judged on their own merits.
amazing car, just amazing
also you gotta love red carbon on gto's steering and shift pedals
both are just amazing
Lovely sculptures. Does anyone know the name of the music that runs at the beginning from 0:10 to 0:30? Name of an album and/or an artist would help too...
Did you find out? I’d love to know too.
Ferrari's have always been special but I think the use of the dual clutch gearbox makes them that much better. The upshifts on the F12 Berlinetta are so fast and really bring out the sound of engine.
The f12 IMO was released too early. Ppl are still blown away by the 599 GTO. Great video EVO!
He was driving an FF somewhere in the mountains, and he clipped a curb when the back end kicked out a bit. You can probably search for it and it will pop right up.
Ferrari will always remain Ferrari !
A Legend of the Sport Automobile forever!
NICE DRIVING mate !
Great review, but I love the looks and sound of the 599 so much more than the F12. I can't afford either, but I hope to someday. Thanks for the review!
That is an excellent F12 review. A proper one
When Ferrari is going to release the next GTO its going to be a monster, i mean the f12 730 hp... What is the future going to be like??
And 3 years after the buggati chiron with 1500 hp came out
I would offer an excellent compromise, a full sequential box with helical cut gears to cut down the noise and a handle in the middle. Still get the clutchless up and down shifts ( if the box is configured that way ) but brings back the clutch pedal and a full mechanical connection to the car. I'd have a noisy transmission though; that V12 and a straight cut 6 speed sequential box would be out of this world.
When I was a kid, I thought nothing would be better than a 550/575 Maranello.
Then Ferrari give us the 599 GTB, and I thought nothing would be better than that.
Then Ferrari gave us the 599 GTO, and I thougnt nothing would be better than that.
And now Ferrari give us the F12Berlinetta. Incredible.
I need to make more money.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you using two different F12's in this video? @ 1:04, you clearly see carbon trim on the dash vents, yet on the dash @5:10, there is none. Did you guys get a different trim level for the track?
i loved the review
great great job
and what a car
it looks incredibly light between the bends, i mean it simply swifts from one apex to the other, this must be one hell of a car!!
0:20 what's this song called? I've heard it before in a german Porsche commercial
good review
Thanks Evo/Jethro for an excellent comparison & review of 's Ferrari's F12!!! Your competitors reviews road & track & daily telegraph those guys should be reviewing pencils not cars
@Jethro Bovingdon Well done to you sir! - Tip of the cap!
Good job not crashing it mate!
Mr Bovingdon Esq. You are one lucky Bastid. Mad skillz behind the wheel BTW!
Crashed is a strong word! I ran over a kerb in an FF but it was hardly a write off.
whats the point of those bottom flanking intakes against the main intake on the front?
Great review of both cars; the GTO is an absolute screamer!! Got a couple of points to make though;
Would a single clutch gearbox for the F12 be equally as good or better than the current double clutch one?
For pure enjoyment, would you take F12, GTO or F40? For me I'd take either GTO or F40 and I'd be perfectly happy
What a fantastic looking car the F12 is. The GTO isn't half bad either. Great to see Jethro back for EVO as well, he was sorely missed.
Winnats Pass from Castleton... Good roads! I imagine the 599 sounds mental going up the pass.
different F12 used in beginning and end. The first one had carbon fiber air vent option.
they say the world is in recession, and fuel prices are going up,people used to remind the good old and the cars, but the truth is we guys are lucky to be in these modern day in age,because in 2000s there many supercars,hypercars and sports cars than any era in motring world,eg pagani zonda pagani huayra,ferrari enzo,458,ff,f430,f12,599,612,porche 911,gt,gt3,boxster,panamera,audi r8,aston martin am310,masrati gran turimo,sls amg,mclarens and so on this is just a summary,we are blessed to be here
same soundeditor as topgears? -.-
I read somewhere that when they updated the California for 2012 (2013 in America), they quietly removed the manny tranny from the range because nobody was buying one. If so, there are now zero manual cars in Ferrari's current range...
They did sell manual 599 GTBs, but there aren't that many around.
How do press car's differ from actual production vehicles? Are they more powerful or something?
Really BestJinjo. How many of those cars you mentioned have you ever driven.
I think its amazing how Ferrari keep raising their game. I didnt think it was possible for them to make a better can than the 599.
Shows what I know.
Wow, congratz to your dad on his buy! I love the front of the F12, but the lower part of the back kinda puts me off. i dont know why xD. I like the 458 (especially the Spyder!), but my favorite Ferrari that's in production right now is the California.
Love the red carbon fibre details in the GTO! Not sure which car I'd actually have though...
Well it was the international press launch at Maranello. So cars were, of course, very well prepped. All press cars always are. The GTO was an owner's car in the UK. I think everyone is right to be suspicious of 'support teams' for press cars but I guess it's also up to magazines to decide what is acceptable.
I agree with you, 599 is better looking. Although I think 458 is absolute stunning. How I wish one day i could own a 458. 599 is a close second :)
Nice to be able to put a voice to the name, now I have a voice in my head when reading Evo....:D
Ballsy to drive a $300+k car on the road like that....
2 of my absolute favourite cars!
He & Chris are friends btw. jethrow has a better sense of style i think. Really good review.
I see. I thought things seemed somewhat rushed and with the GTO addition I'm sure it cut into the overall time as well. With that added to the equation and after viewing a few other reviews that were similarly abbreviated, I have to say yours was the longest and the best especially the camerawork and GTO addition. Next time they need to give you a longer review so we can have more of your overall thoughts on these cars and your personality as well. You can clearly handle these cars. Thanks..
Where do you find those songs? i love them!
Didn't think we were gonna see Chris with this one ;)
someone know the name of the song at the beginning of the video 0:22 - 0:30
please!!
I want to see a drag race between this and the Aventador NOW!!!
Was never really a Ferrari fan till now. Favorites are the 599 GTO and the F12.
