R.I.P Alain de Cadenet. We will miss you dearly. Quite a gentleman...
He was active till the very end.
Sorry to hear of his passing.... he was great, loved his voice
... 🙏🏻
RIP
Well thanks for letting me know. Didn't know he'd passed till now.
40 years as a Ferrari mechanic and hands down the 288 is my favorite car for the street. The 288 is so much fun, very forgiving and easy to drive. Having thousands of mile of seat time in 288's is one of my fondest memories, the only complain would be that the seat gets uncomfortable after a couple hours. Love these cars so much, seeing one brings back so many good times...
I can only imagine, damn what a blast to drive, light and plenty of power.
Harry Metcalfe recently had a go at a 288 GTO as well and deeply regreted not buying one back when he had the chance in the 2003-2005 era.
He bought a Zonda instead and got to be on Horacios inner circle list, but today he regrets not owning a 288 GTO and cannot afford one today.
thanks for the feedback
So you were a Ferrari mechanic from 1980 to 2020 ? The 288 was never sold in the USA although some were brought in after the 25 yr rule. And yet you managed 1000's of ''MILES'' of seat time in someones GTO. It's Kilometers by the way. No mechanic racked up 1000's of miles in a 288 GTO...you are so full of shite....'oh the memories...' sheesh... ...
Alain is a great presenter and the 288 GTO is a magical machine. I never thought I'd see someone flogging a GTO on damp roads in the fog. I'll bet when the drone operator saw that last shot, a tear came to his eye. Such a wonderful video in every way.
The sound of the engine in that shot as well and the way they stopped it with the echo was a nice touch.
RamblinAround, beautifully put! I wanted to say say something similar, especially the tear in the eye!
@@zacanderson8282 awesome
Flogging ???? Are you serious ? You could never aggressively drive that car in those conditions, he is babying that car..
I can
One of the most beautiful Ferrari ever made, lovely
Most beautiful Ferrari ever!
Rick Hunter go back to school clown
In my opinion as well!
Along with the 250 GTO it is also my favorite body style.
250 SWB
Most beautiful Ferrari for road. 330 P4 is the most beautiful ever.
Thank you Alan! One of the most magnificent Ferrari's ever. The 250 GTO, 275, the Daytona, F40 and the 288 GTO are, as the Brits would say, "Proper Ferrari's"!
The road and scenery were stunning.
Whoever's in charge of Petrolicious' music score deserves a peace Nobel prize
Okay lol
Nobel Peace Prize
Why would it be the Nobel Peace Prize and not the Nobel Music Prize?
Armchair Racer Because the wrong music would make this a war zone.
@@TomVestvik you said it👏👏
The 288 always struck me as the best looking Ferrari from my childhood. Its wider and not as blocky as the 308, but still a bit chunkier than the F40. Just the right amount of 1980's DNA in it!
True, it's quite beautiful.
288 is 500lbs lighter than a 308.
OMG that ending mountain drone fly over was beautiful
It was stunning.
I certainly is although, it would certainly worry me to drive a car like that in those conditions 🤔🤔
Darren Tadman no ASR on a 288 GTO :)
@@TimsEnthusiastGarage hmmm, plenty of opportunities to hit ice on those roads, or collect another vehicle that's done the same 😕😕
I was just thinking Alain would have enjoyed a much more "stimulating" drive a few months later in the year. He has always been one of my favorite 2 or 3 narrators of automotive history. Weather or not, this was an excellent view of a spectacular car.
Just found out about Alain's passing. R.I.P. Like many others, I enjoyed your skill and smooth delivery on car reviews. I much enjoyed your Victory by Design series. You are greatly missed.
Missing Alain's great automotive contributions. Thanks for featuring him!
It's uncanny that the turbos don't stifle the sound of that V8, but instead it has an outrageously great exhaust sound. It almost sounds like that was the sound chosen for Petrolicious' opening.
Honestly as a NA V8 owner, no turbo can match a naturally aspirated induction in sound, not even a GT0 288. The turbo changes the exotic rocket sound into more of an oversized tin can sound, although the V8 helps saving it. Today the V8 are replaced with puny i6 or V6 and the sound just sucks.
@@goognamgoognw6637 let me guess. Ur an American
@@sayandhsooraj1361 hell no, that would be an insult. Neither do i like US cars.
This has the Ansa megaphone exhaust, which was one of the few options available. The standard exhaust, with two smaller outlets per pipe, for a total of four exhaust tips, doesn’t sound anywhere near as gruff and nasty ( in a great way! ) as this example does.
That shot with the camera mounted on the engine cover looking forward through the back glass is epic.
I agree, it's so 1970 - 80 james bond flashback like.
Wow the Evo 288 GTO 2000 lbs and 650 HP = a monster and 225 mph
Very impressed they took one of these gems out in funky weather.
I always enjoy Alain's commentary his voice and knowledge is the best. Thank you this is so cool.
Thank you Petrolicious... For several years I've shared your "tastefully" mature and well-produced content with my daughter and son. As a family, we appreciate being afforded the opportunity watch and learn about these timeless beauties. Additionally, a special "thank you" to the owners of these fine machines... your generous contribution is keeping "this" alive.
This is the best video on this car I have seen. Alain is knowledgable without being boring and this episode simply delivers a rich engagement seldom encounrtered on RUclips.
Fantastic video - thank you for posting this. Wonderful to see Alain de Cadenet again!
The Victory by Design series with AdC still stands the test of time as a highlight for car nuts.
Kudos to the owner of this 288GTO for allowing it to be driven, and in bad weather no less.
Before Chris Harris, there was Alain de Cadenet. His Victory by Design series really made me grow up about appreciating cars. Before him, it was hp and torque. After the VbD series, I grew to appreciate the details, the engineering, and most of all the histories of models and makes, the quirks... Good to see he's still doing these drives and sharing his sentiments.
Tiff Nieedel was also good
The sound of the engine travels up the spine like a first kiss. What a great car, thanks for taking us for a ride.
No exotic engine sounded this menacing. The best Ferrari ever, and I love that this was filmed on a gray day, because that makes the paint pop.
It’s been forever since I’ve seen Alain present. Kudos to petrolicious for rigging this perfect match up! 👏🏻
I love the thorough background that's included here. Not just a typical post-production edit and music. It completes the car make/model viewing experience.
The 288 GTO has been my dream car since it was new ... and now this road is my dream trip too!
This man speaks with so much passion and intelligence. It is a delight to listen to him tell stories and facts about the car.
Fantastic to see Alain De Cadenet making a car film about again. His Victory By Design series was excellent. His daughter isn't bad either!
Alain is the Attenborough of the automobile world. Such a treasure. Thanks for the great video!
Just found out that unfortunately he passed away. I have such fond memories of watching his victory by design series as a kid, if anything he molded my taste in cars.
Wonderful! Alain is a great host, thanks for having him!
I was an apprentice in the 80s at Colmore Car People in West Bromwich in the UK, they were a Fiat, Saab and Ferrari dealership when one of these came in for a first service. I got to be close to it but never in it, great times when looking back, great video, the sights and sounds bring it all back and takes me back to being 17, thank you.
Enzo Ferrari was 50 years old when the first Ferrari road legal car was made in 1948. The F40 was released 1987, one year before Enzo died, so technically the F40 is the last supercar Ferrari made before Enzo died.
It’s good to see Alain again. Slightly older (as are we all) but just as full of passion, exuberance, and pure love of great cars as ever. A true gentleman racer with encyclopedic knowledge. Best wishes, good sir.
I never realized that there was that much of a difference in the chassis & weight dimensions of this car and a 308. Leave it to Alain De Cadanet to reveal those details!
Jeff Haring *Alain de Cadenet
@Jeff Haring GTO was an 308 GTB with steroids... Anyway GTO was a beauty and a beast in the same body ❤️❤️❤️
@@GeneralLee1961.3 That's like saying "a son is its father, but on steroids".
I beg to differ. Although there is identical "material", 288 is not 308, it's a GTO.
Is F40 a GTO on steroids? Same spaceframe, suspension, passenger compartment, roof, doors... Nope, it's an F40.
@Durandal475 The GTO is completely different from the F40. But is identical to the 308! I’m referring to the design only...
oh yeah, what a mistake to compare 308 or 328 with 288! 288 comes from an other planet. Very great video.
Tremendous video. The 288 GTO is by far the best Turbo charged car sound I have ever heard in a street car. I know I will never own a 250 GTO, but with some good wealth management/growth I may be able to swing a 288 GTO in a few years. That is my target Halo Ferrari (a guy who owns a '09 430 Scud and a '19 488 Spider).
I love Alain. Hadn’t seen him in a few years. He’s a good bit older than I remember. Time is cruel. Great VIDEO!
yes. his legends of motorsport series was must watch tv!
ShmuelWeintraub absolutely
Met him a few times at the Goodwood Festival and Revival. Nice guy and a proper car enthusiast.
The shibilantsh from hish falsh teesh theesh daysh are teshtimony to the cruelnesh of the yearsh.
I think his daughter gave him those grey hairs..Always been a fan of him..
God this episode just ticks all the boxes! First the gorgeous drooling photography.....its so well shot, great choice/direction to shoot in the rain and fog. A super beautiful red Ferrari 288 GTO against the white snow.....Blown Away! ....Our host is so knowledgeable and passionate as well as great speaker....and the car itself....the last one made with Enzo still alive...... This is a episode i will watch again and again....and again! Hats off to the film makers.
Just now watched this outstanding video for millionth time and reading the comments have I learned of Mr. de Cadenet’s passing. I am in shock. The world has lost yet another true Legend and Gentleman. All of Alain’s videos and work are now more valuable and instant classics. Wow. Blown away.
RIP Alain. Take Enzo on a fast journey in one of his 288 GTO’s.
To my eyes the most beautiful car ever built.
FANTASTIC! I miss Victory By Design, easily one of the best car shows ever. Looking great Alain, God Bless.
Great to see Alain. His style and knowledge comes second to none.
Bravo Alain de Cadenet, thank you for the best 288 video I've seen and such a tribute to a beautiful car, it's no wonder why the GTO is so collectable. R I P Alain de Cadenet.
This is no car.
It is an istitution, a love letter to motoring
Sorry to disappoint you but it is a car
And aesthetics
JaBig * of course
Commander Alpha James May is that you?
This should have north of 5mil views, anything with Alain de Cadenet hosting, laying down history on us is pure Gold.
What a majestic ending... the magnificent beast... and the echoes of its roars rumbling through the mountains...
So nice to see ADC in his element, ragging an Italian exotic and chatting away. I’ve grown up reading/listening/watching him wax lyrical on cars for over four decades now and never tire of his insight and wit.
To see him with my all-time favourite Ferrari is a real treat.
Thankyou Petrolicious 💕
RIP to a legend of the automotive world, and from what I understand, a gentleman in every respect.
One of the best shows that was on TV. Alain de Cadenet really knows his stuff.
As soon as i saw Alain de Cadinet i clicked!
Alain isn't so cool, calm and collected when Ray Hanna flies a Spitfire just above his head for a TV documentary in 1996. Ray was flying SO low that Alain gets knocked over by the downdraught of the Spitfire! Check that out on RUclips if you haven't seen it already. Alain's reaction is hilarious!
Loved this episode, like watching a 1980s/90s episode of Top Gear - and I mean that in a good way. Old school style presenting without any nonsense and silliness. Thank you
Outro scene like Tolkien; credits full of evocative names. What a fitting tribute to arguably the most beautiful expression ever of the automotive sporting aesthetic.
VICTORY BY DESIGN!!!
I loved the simplicity of that series; informative chat about the history of the marque, followed by a sequence of the cars being driven hard, with no music overlay - just the raw engine noise. Beautiful.
I have the whole dvd series. GREAT show!
I see I'm not the only one with a flashback.
Hell yes! That's one of my all time favorite series!
Thank you for that was trying to figure out what it was called couldn't remember
Who else wants a reboot of "Victory by Design" with this guy hosting once again?
I'll be honest. I'll watch anything hosted by Alain. He is the Rick Beato of motorsports. Instant credibility; anything he says about his field of expertise is to be immediately taken to the bank.
What an absolutely stunning automobile. The thing dreams are made of.
Thank you for giving me one last episode of victory by design 😢
the Victory by Designs of yesteryear was so good. Happy to see this!!! Alain is a wonderful presenter!
The ending scene and the echo of this GLORIOUS car is biblical! Great job Petrolicious
Just learned of Mr. de Cadenet's passing, and this is the first video that came to mind, because it seems it wasn't all that long ago...
Race in Peace, legend.
Me too. Very sad indeed.
The best looking sports car ever made. Full of passion, genuine historical pedigree of the highest order. Breathtaking camera work regardless of the weather!
I was sorry to hear of the death of Alain de Cadenet. A fine driver whose enthusiasm and knowledge shine through here; and in all else he did. A gentleman.
Wonderful, he does the Pillon Mountain Pass between Les Diablerets and Gstaad. I do it every second day with my car. I strongly recommend that road to any true petrolhead ! I also suggest you to stop at Pichler’s automotive in Foeterosey if you feel like having a glimpse at the most exclusive Porsche, Bugattis and Ferraris there are !
Easy thumbs up for that lovely noise, it's going to be a sad day when you can't hear things coming down the road.
...and lets not forget just how bloody handsome this thing is!
She's one of my childhood heroes and remains my favourite Ferrari to this day. - Nice video!
Thank you for this amazing film ! and thanks to Greg for sharing his car
I was nearly in a race with a GTO back in 85 with my 3.0 turbo Porsche which maxed out at 172 (gear limited). Alas, I was taking my freeway exit but was able to see in my rear view mirror the red GTO beginning to spool up his turbos (as evidenced by the twin puffs of smoke at the rear). We had been at a car show earlier in the weekend. It would have been interesting to see how that would have been-but it was a public freeway! This video is well done. The fog is a necessary element. One need not actually have a clear view of the GTO. The sound is what you’re after.
This is my favorite car ever.
What a brilliantly shot video .....the fog on the roadway and the host so knowledgeable....the view through the rear glass facing the driving direction and those drone footage! The twin turbo Ferrari sound!
Some balls, driving a vintage, multi-million dollar car through drizzly winter weather on misty mountain roads whilst casually chatting to an invisible crowd.
Thank you ！Petrolicious！You lead me here so that I see the magazine-image cars in my childhood which are breathing and roaring ones now！ They are alive now for me！Thank you！
Wow, I haven't seen Alain since the speed channel back in the day!!
Yet another fabulous review from Petrolicious. Camera work is stunning. I'll never forget the first time I saw a 288 GTO it was at Weston international Fruit and Veg market very early one morning in the early 80's, I was there with my dad and his employee buying stock for his shop. I was in my early teens then and a huge car fan as I still am to this day. I love this car as much now as I did as a young boy. Truly one of Marenellos finest.
When I was in college (20+ yrs ago) I wanted to marry Amanda de Cadenet. That way I could have a beautiful actress as my wife and a legendary driver, collector and host as my father in law. Needless to say I had a rich fantasy life.
I'll drink to that!
Beat it. I saw her first.
She was a stunner back in the day
Eric Hakanson we all did but she ended up marrying and subsequently divorcing John Taylor of Duran Duran
@@craigstark8866 I told her at the time that she shouldn't marry him. I said "there's no way he'll appreciate your dad's car collection like I will!"
It's great to see Alain de Cadenet again. This was a wonderful episode.
Alain De Cadanet!!!! Hell yeah!!!
truly one of the most beautiful cars every made. also, the first super car that i ever had the privilege of seeing in the flesh. watching this video made my heart swoon. thank you so much!!!
Macchina che ti fa innamorare ed appassionare ad un mito...
SEMPRE FORZA FERRARI...
Victory By Design is my favorite car show of all time. To see Petrolicious and Alain de Cadenet in the same place... this bodes well.
It's very rare to see such passionate elderly man. This man should be a presenter on an automotive program. I can sit all day and listen to him talking about cars.
EDIT: I looked him up, he's really a presenter, lol!
There is a DVD I have of him presenting the classic Ferrari's. It's about 12 year old.
Look up Victory by Design.
Victory by Design might just be the finest automotive feature production series ever made, check it out.
That closing shot, pure beauty.
Whoever reading this one day you will own a FERRARI........
Had one
YES !
Even me?
Definitely.
Yes, sir.
Alain, you’ll be missed. I have to say that considering what a massive Maserati lover he was, it didn’t stop him loving other wonderful creations.
His gentle and knowledgable understatements are unique and unsurpassed “It goes where I point it - that’s a relief!”
When was this video with him filmed? Only in 2019?
The quality and naration of this video is oustanding. Bravo!
Poignant ending shot...RIP Sir Alain...loved you in "Victory By Design" You were strictly class all the way...
Who the hell down votes a 288 GTO?
I think it's about the Petrolicious membership, not the car or video
Someone who thinks a 911 is pretty?
Lamborghini die-hard fan perhaps lol.
sheer heathen idiots
Prius drivers
Outstanding. I've never seen a video filmed thru the snow and the fog before. I hope I see more of them in the future. I've always enjoyed seeing MG T-series in the snow. I saw a 288 GTO at the Laguna Seca Pre-Historics, parked on the hill under the timing tower, all by it's lonesome. I've got the photos to prove it.
The good old days when cars smoked on start up
They still do if it's wet and cold... :)
I own a Rotary. It's always 'The good old times' 😂
Yeah, stupid progress.
The good old days.... When starting a car was a mixture of wishes and prayers.
@sasquatch You dont understand what hes taking about and no need to insult him moron, millennial i assume?
The fact I didn’t get an alert when this vid came out and didn’t find it until 2 days later shows that Google’s algorithms have a long ways to go. I saw one in the wild, parked in a private drive in Ludwigsburg Germany in 1988-89. There was a small crowd gathered. Absolutely unquestionably one of the most beautiful machines ever built.
One of the most greatest presenters showcasing one of the most mythical iconic Ferrari’s ever. 😌🙏🏼
Never seen this group's videos before, but the production quality is simply superb and de Cadenet delivers -- many terrific word choices in his descriptions. The drone shot at the end is sublime!
Alain de Cadenet could review a blender and I would watch the whole thing. Also, what a car. I don’t know what I like more, the exterior, interior, or the sound.
RIP Alain, such a great presenter and nice speedmaster!
Best looking car of the last 50 years.
Ryan Long well judged. I agree, and for me, the Alfa 8C is high in that list too.
This guy was the David Attenborough of the supercars, a born narrator ! That eloquence, phrasing, enthousiasm....
Che bella Macchina!!! 😍!!!
Romulo y Remo woow
I just love how this man presents and narrates it! I would listen to him speaking for hours...
He was certainly an automotive authority, well spoken and classy in all respects.
Why cars cannot be like this ,compact ,powerful,raw and clean !
cause people want big and chunky, thicc and chunky suv that they can roll into without moving their limbs, so automakers deliver, and the soul turns into a wraith chained to the past,
For me this is the most beautiful ferrari. I adore this car with all of my heart and soul.
I will never own such a car. But my heart explodes each time I watch them driven. If that is as close as I can get....then I am grateful
Legendary and so rare Ferrari!
I always enjoyed Alain's car programmes that aired on obscure channels and rarely got on UK mainstream TV. His little Mews garage and his Massers, used to make me quite envious.
This car represents the true Ferrari, a proper, simple pure machine.
8:52 - 9:07 What driving in heaven would feel like
Haider Shah mottarone,italy
Wow! What a video! I was glued to the screen the whole time also props to Alain, brilliant presenter, furthermore the 288 GTO is one of my all time favourite Ferrari's, it's absolutely stunning!
This is a top notch video and also very beautiful with all the snow and scenery.
10/10 will be watching this video again very soon.
This car is filthy
The stance
The wheels
The gearshifter
The lip spoiler
Oh man old school cars are so cool.
