Which car is your bucket list drive…please explain why?! 👇 Driving the Ferrari F40 was an incredible experience. Subscribe to my channel for my Rimac Nevera Reveal: bit.ly/NicoRosbergYT
My bucket list drive is Bugatti Chiron because of its' top speed or 2021 F1 cars because F1 cars' braking and cornering speed or Rimac Nevera because of its' acceleration. 🏎💨
Wow. Nico? My bucket list drive. Well, my friend, I guess you are driving one. The Ferrari F-40 and the GTO would my favorites. No explanations are necessary, right? Also, I would like to drive a 1967 Alfa Romeo Guilia Super. That was the car I grew up with but never got to drive.
@@highperformanceengines3902 or causing any issues to the engine or anything, so many classics don't even go in reverse for the risks they carry. Nick reverses the half the city lol without a doubt
Man I'm so glad you pushed it, I was scared it was going to be a chilled drive around Monaco but no. I'm pretty sure the cameraman needs new pants. Love it Nico!! What a beast
"There is a difference between race drivers and World Champion race drivers!" You bet your ass, Nico, my friend, and you've earned the right to point that out forever.
I don’t know what’s crazier, having a neighbor with an F40 or a neighbor who’s a Formula 1 Champion. Also, to even get a ride along in a F40 would be a dream come true. So to be more realistic my bucket list drive is a Honda NSX. Love the shape and interior design of that car so much and owning it’s smaller bro the MR2 I can only imagine how fun it must be to have a V6 in the back!
@@lefunghi6151 my ride happened when I was 17 years old (I'll be 36 next week), and I still remember what shirt I was wearing that day. It really sticks with you!
I'm impressed at the speed you managed to reverse an F40 uphill on a narrow road with very minimal visibility. Turns out you didn't need that rear view mirror after all lol
Right before the backend breaks loose, lol. And right after, the owner shrugs … when you can afford any of these beauties, it’s almost the same as tossing your 16 y/o the keys to your wife’s Toyota Camry. The one with 250k miles, lol. Those cars need driving regularly and who better to exercise ALL the parts and pieces than Nico. That kid’s got talent for days and seemingly a humble heart to match. Wonderful.
I was getting scared just waiting for the back end to snap out and be into the wall. Bumpy streets, turbo, etc. I did that myself in my Corvette. BTW, the F40 is my favorite road car of all time.
F40 is mine... it was 1993, i was 16, and my father was just stationed in Vicenza Italy from California and the first week we arrived my father drove by an F40 parked at a light store down the street from our house. I begged him to stop and let me get out and look, he made me ride my bicycle back. Although the older gentleman and I couldn't communicate verbally, he could tell how excited I was and even let me sit in the drivers seat... He gave me a memory I will have for the rest of my life. Very cool vid, glad you got to drive it.
Im happy to see Nico having success in RUclips. I was a little worried for him that he wouldn't be able to find another passion since he was still so young after winning the F1 WDC and retiring. Having to live life without a passion can be miserable, but it seems that he's found his new calling here on RUclips. I wish you nothing but success in 2022 and thank you for high quality, top notch produced videos.
Nico has been relentless from the beginning. He immediately began producing content that was not only extremely high quality, but containing subject matter he was genuinely passionate about, and successful personalities he personally was inspired by and hoped we could all learn from. True entertainment, service, integrity, and value. Merry Christmas to all and God bless!
You maybe not following him for as long as I do but he already was on youtube during his F1 career. Back then, he was the only driver on the grid doing vlogs on a regular basis and it was super interesting to get a glimpse of his life as an F1 driver. So this passion was there long before his retirement.
@@xXAlmdudlerXx Of course but as you can see in the video, those roads seem pretty unforgiving... Although I like the fact that Nico didn't go full send around those turns.
The way he talks about the car has so much genuine passion and real technical insight, it's better than a lot of car journalist programmes. Nico would walk into the Top Gear job right now.
Of course Nico immediately pushes the limits of a timeless classic that will be worth tens of millions in a few years😂... 7:20 onwards was absolutely INSANE... My heart was in my mouth the whole time! Thank you so so much Nico's neighbour😘😘
What separates the pleasure-lovers from the posers is: they are not only showing what great life they live, they are showing when they mess up as well. Nico, you are really a likeable guy, in my opinion you do it right, don‘t let others, especially all these jealous people and haters, bring you off your way!
10:42 the way he drives this magnificent car in reverse in that narrow space is absolutely ultra Professional . Not to forget to mention that it was his neighbours car which he borrowed promising to take care of the car without getting any scratch on it . Damn
Nico is so humbly down to earth he's definitely someone I can look up to and inspire to be. I laughed so hard when he missed the red light a true gentleman!
There is a level of authenticity when it comes to driving older machines. Almost purely mechanical and makes you one with the car. Big fan of yours Nico, keep up the good work.
"There are F1 Racing drivers and F1 World Champions. But there is only one F1 World Champion who beat 7-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton in the same machinery" 🤣🤣
I was out having a walk locally last year. Couldn't believe my eyes when a bright red McLaren F1 pulled up at the traffic lights in front of me. Turns out, it was the F1 that was commissioned for Michael Andretti as part of his deal to join McLaren. Couldn't believe how small it was compared to today's cars. To me, that would be the ultimate car to drive.
I would love to drive a GT40, A car that actually proved Americans could build a supercar. It's Also equally impossible for me to drive both an F40 and a Gt40
@@Shepard_AU I mean... sure the materials were made by the brits. But all the testing and tuning that actually made a race car a race car are by the American or at the very least on American soil. So that's that.
The F40 or the McLaren F1. They were both childhood dream cars. I remember when they both came out. The Ferrari for its beauty; the lines, the symmetry, the pedigree. The F1 because it was the world's first hypercar. A top speed of 231 mph was unheard of. The 201 mph of the F40 was crazy only seven years before. Either one would be absolutely amazing to drive. Them, or modern-era F1 car...
The way he describes old cars having a lot of feel and connectivity to the road is exactly how I describe driving my 2000 Trans Am. I know it's not an F40, but it's still an old car with a lot of analog things happening in it. Very fun to drive older cars where you can feel the road
It’s cool that a former F1 champion still has that much passion for driving. He’s conquered the fastest race cars on earth and can buy anything he wants, but still wanted to drive his neighbor’s car!
@@fakeriwnl yes, but F40 are sometimes under 1 million offered - so its still relatively cheap to get the hands on one. Dont care about history; the car is built for abuse anyways.
This car has been designed almost entirely by a legend of car engineering, Ing. Materazzi, and he deserves to be mentioned every time we talk about the F40. By the way, original design without “comforts” was even lighter.
I was lucky enough to drive one of these about 8 years ago for about half an hour. My fav car in the whole world, the noise and rattling and vibrations inside the car was absolutely insane and the kick from the turbos just induced huge wheel spin even at 70 mph, what a car, loved every single second of it
The F40 is my absolute dream car of all time so it's incredible to see it driven properly and in Monaco no less. Thanks for the video, and for showing us that you're not perfect either (aka red light). What a car, what a driver, wish you were back on the F1 grid!
I loved this guy as a driver, even more now. All these other guys like Schmee, or Stradman are just as knowledgeable as we are. This is who we need to listen too.
The F40 will always be my ultimate. I was obsessed from the first time I saw one in a book when I was maybe 6, and was completely smitten when taken for a ride in one when I was 17 or so. I'm almost 36 now, and still haven't seen anything that comes close for me.
My dream bucket list would have to be the Mclaren P1, The raw speed of it along with the tech is pretty amazing for me, The F40 is definitely a close 2nd for me, as it has quite a lot of sentimental value to me
Dude, a few years back I was driving down Guardsmans Pass near the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah in my brand new WRX, when from behind me comes two Porsche 911's(one was a GT3), and a McLaren P1. Although I was a snail compared to them, after waving them by all four of us bombed down the whole canyon.... one of my favorite driving experiences ever.
I'm looking forward to more content like this Nico. Looking forward to you finding a neighbor with an F50. Would love to see you driving around the everyday sports cars that a lot of fans have, not just the supercars.
For me drive f1 car was and will be my biggest dream. I've been watching this sport for about 15 years. After every race I watched, I was asking myself what an experience it must be to drive a F1 car.
This car, iconic and my ultimate childhood favourite, is unbelievably beautiful, raw and the definition of a true super sports car. No power steering, braking or assisted clutch, let alone electronic assistants, just raw mechanics. I love it and would die for a drive in one
My bucket list car will always be a Sport Quattro a red one. The 5 cylinder engine roaring trhough the woods at night even gave me nightmares one time. The raw unprocessed power, i think there is nothing like it. Classic cars, man, they are the best at feels
My hands were sweating and I wasn’t even driving! Bravo Nico! The F-40/50 are for sure on my bucket list. But #1 would be McLaren F1 on the Jebel Mountain highway. I love all these cars from that era, they are the true embodiment of driving. Pure, all you, unfiltered experience.
What a car... Rosberg has driven some of the most advanced racing cars in thew world, yet here he is as excited as anything about driving an F40... can't see him being that way with many other road cars. Love his reversing skills too.
It's incredible how well the looks of these older cars stand against the test of time. My realistic bucket list car would be a souped up Mazda RX-7. My unrealistic bucket list car would be the Porsche 918 Spyder.
I really would like to drive a Mazda RX3 someday. 110Hp in a 850kg car with leafspring suspension on the back and a pre war steering gear. I have a 1.3L mazda 818(808) coupe and that's already scary with 100km/h and high wind speeds.
Loved it. Man, are YOU living the dream, so happy for you! And you're so down to Earth too, that red light was funny, we've all been there. Looking forward to more videos with such push style driving. Be careful though, you never know what others will do.
I'm sure I'm not the only one getting anxious when he pushes a valuable car like that and on public roads. I hope it never gets ugly. Happy new year. Cheers
Actually, this and the CLK GTR are the two cars at the very top of my dream list. And perhaps a Ferrari 250 - any of them would do, not just the GTO. Thank you for sharing this with us Nico!
My all time most favorite car, the F40. I work in the automotive design studio industry, I get to see and create some of the newest cars out there, most go to the auto shows, some hit the streets, some never see the light of day, and this car stands above all of them. The closest I’ve come to the F40, was when I was living in Maranello, and a group of F40 rich guys drive their F40s down from Holland and Switzerland, some event was going on that weekend in Maranello, and the group of them drove by my apartment while I was bbq’ing on my balcony. What a sound!!!!! That was in 2013
Man the quality of your videos is really awesome, almost professional. Thank you for gathering such a great production team and for offering us all this great content.
This is beautiful to watch Nico. My bucket list child hood dream was to drive a Porsche 987.1. After 15 years I finally got the opportunity to buy it a few weeks ago. And the glee you expressed getting into this F40 is exactly how I've felt every day since I brought it home. Enjoy life mate, only have one to live.
My bucket list is the BMW Z8 …… so stylish, manual convertible and quick enough …. Interior is so minimalistic and ONE of the best designs in and out !
Danke Nico, das ist das schönste Auto das je gebaut wurde :-) Wäre auf meiner Liste auf Platz 1. Du bist eine Mischung aus DiCaprio und Schumacher :-D Spass, jeder Mensch ist einzigartig ;-)
Absolutely incredible as always, I was nervous seeing you reversing fast in a tight street with steel barriers, but yeah you're not a normal racing driver you are an F1 world champion who surely can handle road cars easily ❤
Ottimo Nico....scelta migliore non potevi fare, Ferrari f.40 pura potenza gestita totalmente dal piede e dalle mani del pilota con fiammate da mezzo metro dallo scarico 😂, l'ultima costruita sotto la super visione del grande veccio, l'ultima senza aiuti di sorta (l'elettronica non sapeva neppure dove stava di casa), l'ultima a montare un alettone fisso !! Il mostro tra i mostri
The F40 still is a dream for me. Ever since i saw one as a kid (my only one in real life), that is the dream! If i could even get it for a photoshoot once, man, i would be very happy.
The car in my bucket list drive is the Ferrari Enzo. I still remember the 1st time I saw it on tv when I was a kid being driven by Jeremy Clarckson on Top Gear. I said to my self that car is beautiful, also it's the 1st car I've seen with paddle shifter and I think it's very cool during that time because most of the car in the early 2000's are still manual.
Congrats Nico!! ❤️❤️ I admire you for being so true and not hiding your mistakes, and also being proud of achievements! I love you as my role model for success! Being so confident when asking for a f40 drive… ah I could go on and on ❤️❤️😀
Loved the Little montage in the end! Congratulations on 1 million subs! Well deserved Nico! I dont know if it counts as a car, but the thing I actually have on My bucket list is to drive a go kart. I have never driven One, and Id Love to try, it seems so fun!
RESPECT Nico, driving like you stole it on those tight roads. I had a drive in one of these many moons ago at Croft circuit when I had a 993 GT2 ( awesome ). Bucket list car is an original GT40 or a Can Am Mclaren.
Closest I’ve been to an F40 was when they were new - one was being slightly modified and it was in the dyno. I even dig up my old VHS and posted it on RUclips 😂. Seriously thank you Nico for sharing this experience with us, it was awesome!! .
So happy to trip upon this channel after not seeing Nico for so long. Loved watching him race. Thought it was cool how he left F1 when he did. Glad to see he is apparently happy and got to check this one off his bucket list. Enjoyed seeing how this car really is a bit of a tasmanian devil to control even for a World Champion. Merry Christmas!
Congratulations on the 1 million subscribers Nico. Great content, absolutely love it. As a rally fan my bucket list car would be any of the group B monsters from 1986 but my favourite was the Lancia Delta S4. Anything from the 80's was like driving a rocket ship with the handling characteristics of a house brick. They were fast and very dangerous. lol

I loved this guy as a driver, even more now. All these other guys like Schmee, or Stradman are just as knowledgeable as we are. This is who we need to listen too.
you´re righ Nico "a" racing driver is not the same as A WORLD CHAMPION!!! great quote!!! and amazing driving!
That absolutely focused expression on Nico's face. Once a racing driver, always a racing driver. 😎
It's amazing to see a F1 champion of the world be happy like a kid on Christmas driving this car! Cheers
It adds up to his charm, a true gentleman
@@SandStormPower totally agree! I'm Italian but I'm a big fan of Nico! I think he's very good as a storyteller!
The F40 will always be my ultimate. I was obsessed from the first time I saw one in a book when I was maybe 6, and was completely smitten when taken for a ride in one when I was 17 or so. I'm almost 36 now, and still haven't seen anything that comes close for me.
Congrats on 1M subs
You'll be there
Sheeeeeeeeeeeshhhhh 650ib needs an F40
My dream bucket list would have to be the Mclaren P1, The raw speed of it along with the tech is pretty amazing for me,
The F40 is definitely a close 2nd for me, as it has quite a lot of sentimental value to me
Dude, a few years back I was driving down Guardsmans Pass near the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah in my brand new WRX, when from behind me comes two Porsche 911's(one was a GT3), and a McLaren P1.
Although I was a snail compared to them, after waving them by all four of us bombed down the whole canyon.... one of my favorite driving experiences ever.
I'm looking forward to more content like this Nico. Looking forward to you finding a neighbor with an F50. Would love to see you driving around the everyday sports cars that a lot of fans have, not just the supercars.
My bucket-list will be any ferrari, love the brand❤️
For me drive f1 car was and will be my biggest dream.
I've been watching this sport for about 15 years.
After every race I watched, I was asking myself what an experience it must be to drive a F1 car.
This car, iconic and my ultimate childhood favourite, is unbelievably beautiful, raw and the definition of a true super sports car. No power steering, braking or assisted clutch, let alone electronic assistants, just raw mechanics.
I love it and would die for a drive in one
Epic video! You are killing it, the video was insane. 1m well deserved 👏
Fun Fact: I wasnt able to watch many of your vids premiere at the start of 2021 since they were at the same time as the F1 Race
My bucket list car will always be a Sport Quattro a red one. The 5 cylinder engine roaring trhough the woods at night even gave me nightmares one time. The raw unprocessed power, i think there is nothing like it. Classic cars, man, they are the best at feels
My dream car definitely is the Lexus LFA. The sound of this beast is legendary.
Try Lancia Stratos HF
@@tifosi_mehmet61 My all time favorite car : McLaren F1 - (with LM spec or GTR are even more hardcore & special).. ;0)
Best sounding V10 ever built
My hands were sweating and I wasn’t even driving! Bravo Nico! The F-40/50 are for sure on my bucket list. But #1 would be McLaren F1 on the Jebel Mountain highway. I love all these cars from that era, they are the true embodiment of driving. Pure, all you, unfiltered experience.
Love Nico's excitement and respect for this historic museum piece. I feel like a kid from Nico's excitement. Love his post-it notes :)
What a car... Rosberg has driven some of the most advanced racing cars in thew world, yet here he is as excited as anything about driving an F40... can't see him being that way with many other road cars. Love his reversing skills too.
It's incredible how well the looks of these older cars stand against the test of time. My realistic bucket list car would be a souped up Mazda RX-7. My unrealistic bucket list car would be the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Carrera GT for me.
I really would like to drive a Mazda RX3 someday. 110Hp in a 850kg car with leafspring suspension on the back and a pre war steering gear. I have a 1.3L mazda 818(808) coupe and that's already scary with 100km/h and high wind speeds.
Seems like a talented driver, he should try and go pro with it, potential F1 world champion right here!
A match made in Heaven! Nico drove it how it should be driven. Would love to see the 288 GTO next, the supercar of the 80’s itself!
David, are you still hated by the best Ferrari collectors ?
Loved it. Man, are YOU living the dream, so happy for you! And you're so down to Earth too, that red light was funny, we've all been there. Looking forward to more videos with such push style driving. Be careful though, you never know what others will do.
Watching a true car guy drive his dream is amazing. Living your best life Nico. Long may it continue. Content you provide is simply the best
I'm sure I'm not the only one getting anxious when he pushes a valuable car like that and on public roads.
I hope it never gets ugly. Happy new year. Cheers
Actually, this and the CLK GTR are the two cars at the very top of my dream list. And perhaps a Ferrari 250 - any of them would do, not just the GTO. Thank you for sharing this with us Nico!
My all time most favorite car, the F40. I work in the automotive design studio industry, I get to see and create some of the newest cars out there, most go to the auto shows, some hit the streets, some never see the light of day, and this car stands above all of them. The closest I’ve come to the F40, was when I was living in Maranello, and a group of F40 rich guys drive their F40s down from Holland and Switzerland, some event was going on that weekend in Maranello, and the group of them drove by my apartment while I was bbq’ing on my balcony. What a sound!!!!! That was in 2013
Man the quality of your videos is really awesome, almost professional. Thank you for gathering such a great production team and for offering us all this great content.
are the videoes of a F1 Word Champion really professional ? why wouldn't they be man :-D
This is beautiful to watch Nico. My bucket list child hood dream was to drive a Porsche 987.1. After 15 years I finally got the opportunity to buy it a few weeks ago. And the glee you expressed getting into this F40 is exactly how I've felt every day since I brought it home. Enjoy life mate, only have one to live.
Congrats!
My bucket list is the BMW Z8 …… so stylish, manual convertible and quick enough …. Interior is so minimalistic and ONE of the best designs in and out !
Danke Nico, das ist das schönste Auto das je gebaut wurde :-) Wäre auf meiner Liste auf Platz 1. Du bist eine Mischung aus DiCaprio und Schumacher :-D Spass, jeder Mensch ist einzigartig ;-)
What an incredible vidéo Nico !!!!
"there's racing drivers, and then there's world champions" god that sounded so cool and I don't know why😂
Absolutely incredible as always, I was nervous seeing you reversing fast in a tight street with steel barriers, but yeah you're not a normal racing driver you are an F1 world champion who surely can handle road cars easily ❤
Ottimo Nico....scelta migliore non potevi fare, Ferrari f.40 pura potenza gestita totalmente dal piede e dalle mani del pilota con fiammate da mezzo metro dallo scarico 😂, l'ultima costruita sotto la super visione del grande veccio, l'ultima senza aiuti di sorta (l'elettronica non sapeva neppure dove stava di casa), l'ultima a montare un alettone fisso !! Il mostro tra i mostri
i absolutely loved the visuals, editing and scenery in this video! congrats nico to you and your team on one million subscribers, you all deserve it!
The F40 still is a dream for me. Ever since i saw one as a kid (my only one in real life), that is the dream! If i could even get it for a photoshoot once, man, i would be very happy.
What a champion, we love you Nico!
My bucket list drive is the T.33!
04:23 "And now, my friend, the firsta rule of Italian driving...what'sa behind me is not important"
The car in my bucket list drive is the Ferrari Enzo. I still remember the 1st time I saw it on tv when I was a kid being driven by Jeremy Clarckson on Top Gear. I said to my self that car is beautiful, also it's the 1st car I've seen with paddle shifter and I think it's very cool during that time because most of the car in the early 2000's are still manual.
Congrats Nico!! ❤️❤️ I admire you for being so true and not hiding your mistakes, and also being proud of achievements! I love you as my role model for success! Being so confident when asking for a f40 drive… ah I could go on and on ❤️❤️😀
best car made in this world
Loved the Little montage in the end! Congratulations on 1 million subs! Well deserved Nico!
I dont know if it counts as a car, but the thing I actually have on My bucket list is to drive a go kart. I have never driven One, and Id Love to try, it seems so fun!
I driven go karts before, but i would love to drive a shifter kart
RESPECT Nico, driving like you stole it on those tight roads. I had a drive in one of these many moons ago at Croft circuit when I had a 993 GT2 ( awesome ). Bucket list car is an original GT40 or a Can Am Mclaren.
I love videos like these… Testing the limits of rare cars that most collectors wouldn’t even take the risk. Also would love to see Nico back in f1.
caro Nico sei un grandissimo campione e non sai quanto mi è dispiaciuto quando dopo aver vinto il mondiale hai lasciato la F1,
carissimi saluti.
Einfach geil wie ehrlich du immer bist. Das mit der roten Ampel hätten viele sich nicht getraut zu veröffentlichen. Super Nico
das stimmt Respekt ! danke für das Video ein echt Einzigartges Fahrzeug auch mein Favorit von Ferrari der F40
This one and the 275 GTB are on the top of my bucket list! Great vídeo 💪🏼🙌🏼 Cheers from Portugal
Closest I’ve been to an F40 was when they were new - one was being slightly modified and it was in the dyno. I even dig up my old VHS and posted it on RUclips 😂. Seriously thank you Nico for sharing this experience with us, it was awesome!! .
Y a des trésors ds les garages du roccabela ...merci Nico quel plaisir cette vidéo ..
So happy to trip upon this channel after not seeing Nico for so long. Loved watching him race. Thought it was cool how he left F1 when he did. Glad to see he is apparently happy and got to check this one off his bucket list. Enjoyed seeing how this car really is a bit of a tasmanian devil to control even for a World Champion. Merry Christmas!
That was insane! Simplesmente um dos carros mais icônicos da história e o sonho de toda criançada dos anos 90.
Congratulations on the 1 million subscribers Nico. Great content, absolutely love it. As a rally fan my bucket list car would be any of the group B monsters from 1986 but my favourite was the Lancia Delta S4. Anything from the 80's was like driving a rocket ship with the handling characteristics of a house brick. They were fast and very dangerous. lol
Delta S4 is another beast!
I had my bucket list drive a few years ago, driving the Ferrari Testarossa 😍
Cars from that era are hard to drive, you break a sweat easily 😅
