For most of the people, cars are just an easier way to get from A to B, but for petrolheads, they are lifestyle, passion and love. And Ferrari F40 is the one of the first cars i fell in love with, the shape of it, simplicity and engineering. Thanks Enzo for letting us to witness this masterpiece and MAYBE one day i will have a chance just to sit in it.
If you are going to try to criticize a company, at least get its pricing somewhat close. You are going to have pay for XCAR soon or you will see ads overrun their videos. You can't produce higher quality content than Drive without going bankrupt or making people give up something.
what a great man. someone who can not only truly appreciate the emotional aspects of true driver's cars, but also someone who understands that times are changing, and respects that.
I could watch John Pogson talking all night. He can tell a story! Went to visit his premises last year and he gave us a tour of his garage. He runs a Ferrari specialist in the UK. Was full of F40s at the time. Totally down to earth bloke but hugely successful in his racing Career and his Ferrari business. Top video also, very well shot with epic sounds from F40 on track. Bravo.
F40 is a really great looking car but the most beautiful of all time? I disagree. I don't think it quite stands on the level of something like Miura, Daytona or Elan S1. And perfect? Gordon Murray said of the F40 that he couldn't make a car like it because he didn't have anyone who could match the horrid welding of the F40. Still I think I the F40 is a fantastic and amazing car not because it's perfect and gorgeous but because of how raw and unhinged it is. It's a perfect book end to the 80s supercars, a decade defined by mad turbo charged death traps brought on by Group B. F40 channeled that spirit into this just insane boundary pushing super car.
Holy moly, you guys out did yourselves with this video. I got shivers when he told that story about his race towards the end. And the visuals on this were spectacular! Brilliantly done XCAR! :)
I got shivers the entire way. Cried a bit too! I love the car, but this man?! Yeah I wish I could ride in one of those cars with him and listen to his stories!
The last proper sports car Ferrari produced. The epitome of what a sports car should be.... an extension of the driver. It's a true driver's car. No stupid algorithms telling you what to do and A MANUAL TRANSMISSION! !!!! I'm sad that my children won't be able to truly enjoy driving in its purest form. But I swear ..I will buy cars like this one day to carryon the legacies of the true drivers of yesteryear. Very good vid xcar. .. enjoyed every minute of it!
Excellent presentation and ohhh that symphony of explosions and exhaust you can't have conducted a better orchestral performance. Keep up the good work guys.
The amount of passion shown through him, is the passion of racing a see in admiration. Such a touching, spooky, realization of self greatness is achieved through driving these cars. The F40 has always been a favorite of mine since I was very young, before I even knew much about it, and it's a car I was always keep close to my heart, not because of it's rarity or price tag, but because of it's heritage and analogous setup that made the car what it still is, in my opinion, the ultimate drivers car.
I was thinking more on the line of current BMW M-models for instance. Or even modern Jags for that matter. They all sound a bit like they're trying too hard to make the engines sound good, but are falling short when you hear the F40!
I see people all the time claim that the f40 is their favorite car, without knowing anything about it. I'm so glad this video came out for everyone to learn. Beautiful video Xcar.
I can feel the love coming from this man, and just seeing these cars go gets my heart racing. Enzo, no one will be able to replicate your formula, you did the world a solid.
I was tearing up and smiling just listening to this man speak. It's one thing to see what Enzo left behind, but to hear from this man about his experience with it is amazing! XCAR this is by far my favorite film you've done to date!
What a fantastic retrospective. Thank you, XCARFilms, for bringing this to RUclips so that those of us living in far away lands can partake. Utterly brilliant!
That was amazing, I tip my hat to you sir for all your accomplishments and in respect. That was a beautiful story loved every second of it, the f40 truly is a god among supercars.
This has to be the deepest, emotion filled interview/autobiography i have ever seen on youtube. Absolutely sublime. Well done on you Mr Pogson! #ForzaFerrari
This man deserves to own his own F40. The passion he has for this car, for ferrari is something to be admired. Please Ferrari, if you are capable give this man an F40!
Sensational sounds !!!!!! .... WOW !!!!! And what a graceful, deeply soulful, and humble gentleman racer John Pogson is. So great to hear him share these brilliant stories of his brilliant career, with such profound passion -- Cheers good sir!!!
The audio capture on this video was so amazing at the beginning that I had to restart it with headphones to adequately appreciate that beautiful exhaust note, as a car guy everyone knows how important that is for a video for the viewers but rarely is it as crisp and clear as you have put together in here, you guys are awesome!
What a great video! If you truly enjoy story, and John's is a special one, then there is no way you wont enjoy this. The man has so much passion for what he does and the life he lives and has lived. Thank you Xcar for doing this story. I think I could speak comfortably for the car community and that stories like this, the genuine non media manipulated story, are becoming extinct. We would be so grateful for more like them. Wonderful job! What a neat man!
This a great video. Love the sounds and the stories of racing past . Got goose bumps hearing it. This is bucket list type of car drive or ride in a f40
One of the best videos I've watched lately. I started to like a lot this car from an Italian racing game, and listening to the story of this car, I like it even more. Great video.
Perfect camerawork and excellent audio - thanks for letting that glorious motor sound come through loud and clear. No silly techno track over top. Well done. Beautiful!
I’ve watched this three times now and it’s still one my favorites. Thank you John for telling your story. My CS is no F40 but the feeling when driving it must be similar.
8:10: the front/side view of the F40 has always been my fav. angle of looking at those lines, with the 2nd F40 behind it and the track, just a picture perfect shot.
Truly amazing !! This guy is living a life most of us drool over. Thank you Xcar for portraying him again. Also, I'd love to see you guys do a piece of the successor of the F40, the much unloved and imho underrated F50, my childhood poster super car and still "the one" for me :)
Superbly filmed at Rockingham … this is the very best and humbly honestly placed segment on “THE” icon… Ferrari F40…very well done. Also see “Regalo di Natale “ with Enzo’s M . &. Miquele Alboreto…. The F40 no-4 lent to Alboreto there… it’s Enzo’s F40 or a car with the same mirror design as Mr. Ferrari …. His F40 did had A/c to start with… very special F40 in history of such Marque…
Don't worry Mr. Pogson. In heaven they got only the best for racing, and that means Ferrari. Fantastic video. More of this please. Xcar is getting better for every show.
this made me fkn cry. This man can tell the story... and has some story to tell... For me The F40 would remain the ONE by None and the fact he said that thing about Senna is just so epic. Thank you.
Superb video. Superb story. Even got me a little misty-eyed with Paul's story of winning the race in 4th gear unknowingly with his parents and family there. I hope to meet Paul one day and visit his workshop! Top bloke and a talented driver.

Thank God we don't have to pay 8$ a month for these videos. Love this channel.
Who has to pay 8$ a month to watch videos ?
Zach Halliday Subscribers of Drive+.
If you are going to try to criticize a company, at least get its pricing somewhat close. You are going to have pay for XCAR soon or you will see ads overrun their videos. You can't produce higher quality content than Drive without going bankrupt or making people give up something.
Doppelkupplung Did I mention any names? I didn't think so. Direct your foolish comment elsewhere.
So who were you talking about if your not talking about Drive ?
what a great man. someone who can not only truly appreciate the emotional aspects of true driver's cars, but also someone who understands that times are changing, and respects that.
I have watched it SO MANY TIMES, and I don't know why it moves me to tears EVERYTIME.

What an epic film. Outstanding job XCAR!
You watch all the automotive channels, don't you! :P
Matt Maran Motoring right on Matt
It does not matter if you like Lambo or Porsche, or Pagani... F40 is the most perfect, beautiful car ever created.
I agree, the F40 is my favorite car of all time.
And you are a road biker as well? Canyon aeroad it seems? Me too I have a caad12. I too love cars and road bikes.
I like Lamborghini and Porsche primarily, but the F40 is just stunningly beautiful.
The Ferrari F-40, an iconic masterpiece, Scuderia Ferrari
F40 is a really great looking car but the most beautiful of all time? I disagree. I don't think it quite stands on the level of something like Miura, Daytona or Elan S1.
And perfect? Gordon Murray said of the F40 that he couldn't make a car like it because he didn't have anyone who could match the horrid welding of the F40.

I'm proud to say, I have a F40. A 1/18 scale toy car...
Me too.
Same Bburago 87 1/18 original .
I have a 1/14 RC model =D
I have a 1/64 scale hot wheels f40
This film was beautiful. Thank you xcar! The Ferrari f40 is the most phenomenal Ferrari to me and I dream to drive one and even more wildly own one.
Touching guy + mythical car + sublime production = perfect combination
This is turning into the best car channel on you tube, great stuff keep it up. Great quality, free, and long.
***** I agree with you mate, they only need some sort of "Chris Harris" and they're done!
though to be honest the video work and their camera gear is better.....
Jarryd Junkin
Drive's production is way below XCAR to be honest.
Lachmund petrolicious is the best when it comes to production quality.
Hakan Uzunoglu
True. I agree.
This video brought tears in my eyes :') thank you
I sincerely adore passionate people talking about their passion. Truly memorizing. Thank you xcar
This is the best tribute to the F40 I've ever seen. Just beautiful. Well done!
The F40's exhaust note is demonic!!! Absolutely beautiful...manly tears.
Holy moly, you guys out did yourselves with this video. I got shivers when he told that story about his race towards the end. And the visuals on this were spectacular!
Brilliantly done XCAR! :)

That was a spectacular tribute to both the man and the car! Very nice!
Absolutely incredible film. Probably one of the best car videos I've seen this year.
XCAR, thank you for being free...
One thanks them for being good
Kelvin C that's already a given, that's why one thanks them for being free too...
You can still watch drive+ for free, search the channel DrivePlus on dailymotion
Daniel Maia Yes please take away potential customers... I am flagging this comment.

Excellent presentation and ohhh that symphony of explosions and exhaust you can't have conducted a better orchestral performance. Keep up the good work guys.
If I had the money I would buy this in a heartbeat.
Would you like to buy a photograph of a fat man standing next to some runner beans?
That opening scene gave me goosebumps, what a great car. Thanks for sharing this
I live for these anologue cars. I always get teary eyed seeing them now bcz i know that era and these cars will never come back.
Slowly but surely this channel is turning golden

I love the F40!
That noise is just brilliant! Why can't modern turbo charged cars sound this way???
No "Active Sound Module" on these beauties!
Emission standards, noise limits and the people over the engineers.
Noble M600 and P1 actually have some of this F40 raw behavior.
I was thinking more on the line of current BMW M-models for instance. Or even modern Jags for that matter. They all sound a bit like they're trying too hard to make the engines sound good, but are falling short when you hear the F40!
What noise? ;)
I only hear music.... one of the best soundtracks ever....
Königseggs have this sort of behaviour too! Best current biturbos.
I see people all the time claim that the f40 is their favorite car, without knowing anything about it. I'm so glad this video came out for everyone to learn. Beautiful video Xcar.
Fantastic video, well done xcar team. My God that F40 is beautiful. Mechanically and visually. It truly is the best car ever made.
The F40 doesn't sound turbocharged, it's incredible.
f40=best supercar ever made
Amen....
I agree
Yes it IS!
Maserati mc12
Is and will forever be, the ultimate.
I hear the super rich have been fitting the factory "lm" turbo kits to them
Ryan Barbolt That's true, on track I saw several stock F40 but perfoming like the have 600-700 bhp
I know somebody who's getting a 488, so we shall see
@@ryanbarbolt3691 no comparison, not even close
Love this! John Pogson is the man when it comes to 40's
Had a 1:24 model of this when I was a kid and this bought back memories. Brilliant job again capturing the essence of this legend!
its a masterpiece, a piece of art, a true enthusiast car. A very special relationship between a man and his car
I can feel the love coming from this man, and just seeing these cars go gets my heart racing. Enzo, no one will be able to replicate your formula, you did the world a solid.
I was tearing up and smiling just listening to this man speak. It's one thing to see what Enzo left behind, but to hear from this man about his experience with it is amazing! XCAR this is by far my favorite film you've done to date!
One of the BEST F40 films on youtube. Well done guys!
What a fantastic retrospective. Thank you, XCARFilms, for bringing this to RUclips so that those of us living in far away lands can partake. Utterly brilliant!
That was amazing, I tip my hat to you sir for all your accomplishments and in respect. That was a beautiful story loved every second of it, the f40 truly is a god among supercars.
This has to be the deepest, emotion filled interview/autobiography i have ever seen on youtube. Absolutely sublime. Well done on you Mr Pogson! #ForzaFerrari
The car is epic, the man is incredible, but the narrative is legend. Best XCAR video yet.
Slowly becoming the best car channel on RUclips. Keep it up chaps
What an amazing story, gave me goose bumps and chills for 15mins straight. Well done XCAR, well done.
Superb video! Thank you for making this and for keeping it all free, XCar is fast becoming my favourite channel.
Wow the sound on the overrun is priceless...thx xcar for this F40 tribute
My favorite car from my favorite car company. Thanks for keeping your videos free.
This man deserves to own his own F40. The passion he has for this car, for ferrari is something to be admired. Please Ferrari, if you are capable give this man an F40!
Sensational sounds !!!!!! .... WOW !!!!!
And what a graceful, deeply soulful, and humble gentleman racer John Pogson is.
So great to hear him share these brilliant stories of his brilliant career, with such profound passion -- Cheers good sir!!!
The audio capture on this video was so amazing at the beginning that I had to restart it with headphones to adequately appreciate that beautiful exhaust note, as a car guy everyone knows how important that is for a video for the viewers but rarely is it as crisp and clear as you have put together in here, you guys are awesome!
Wow, his story of the 2 being consecutive chassis numbers and him being lent them is astonishingly touching how he shows connection with them...
What a wonderful clip, XCAR you keep getting better and better. Amazing and touching personality, stellar camera work. Thank you!
What a great video! If you truly enjoy story, and John's is a special one, then there is no way you wont enjoy this. The man has so much passion for what he does and the life he lives and has lived. Thank you Xcar for doing this story. I think I could speak comfortably for the car community and that stories like this, the genuine non media manipulated story, are becoming extinct. We would be so grateful for more like them. Wonderful job!
What a neat man!
Great vid of my favourite car of all time. XCAR skyrocketed to one of the best car video sites on youtube, keep it up.
Thank you john Pogson for such a fitting tribute to the F40 and also your experience with Ferrari. Bravo Bravo...
This a great video. Love the sounds and the stories of racing past . Got goose bumps hearing it.
This is bucket list type of car drive or ride in a f40
One of the best videos I've watched lately. I started to like a lot this car from an Italian racing game, and listening to the story of this car, I like it even more. Great video.
Great video. These "story" types of video's are the best in my opinion.
Since a little kid, I've loved this car. That engine gives me chills anytime I hear her roar. Just a sheer master piece.
Shot at 15:10 is absolutely brilliant. This is an example of top notch film making. Well done.
I've watched this video so many times and will continue to watch it many more thanks XCAR!!
Finally got to watch this after seeing it in my Sub's feed for 3 days.
Worth the wait, great vid!
Incredible, thank you very much. How you don't have over a million subscribers is beyond me.
Stunned by the sheer beauty of the car, stunned by the story and stunned by the amazing film footage!!
Outstanding job on the XCAR team that put this vid together. Almost speechless
XCar, we love you. I have no words...
What a great episode and what a wonderful man John Pogson is! Thanks a lot!
Amazing video! Love the F40
the best car channel, with one or two others, but still. love it ! please, never stop
One of the best youtube video's I've ever watched. Thank you for this! God Almighty what a car the F40 is.
I'm always craving for an F40 on video, you brought me 2!! Very nice job, you're getting better and better.
Incredible, thanks XCAR! My fav super-car of them all.
Perfect camerawork and excellent audio - thanks for letting that glorious motor sound come through loud and clear. No silly techno track over top. Well done. Beautiful!
Congratulations XCAR on making such awesome videos ! Keep up the good work !!

I got massive shivers watching this. Maybe it's because I've always wanted to grow up in the '80s and '90s.
Superbly filmed at Rockingham … this is the very best and humbly honestly placed segment on “THE” icon… Ferrari F40…very well done. Also see “Regalo di Natale “ with Enzo’s M . &. Miquele Alboreto….

A touching story of man and machine. Great video. Thanks!
Don't worry Mr. Pogson. In heaven they got only the best for racing, and that means Ferrari.
Fantastic video. More of this please. Xcar is getting better for every show.
Great video, thank you so much for producing and sharing these amazing videos with all of us out here in RUclips land!
Great great Story.
One of the most spectacular racer ever made.
Thanks for sharing this.
Greets from switzerland.
What a way to start the week!!! Thank you xcar this film is full of emotion :) love the f40
one of the best videos i have seen on cars for a long time, loved it to bits. xcar u are awsom. keep up the good work. awsom stuff guys.
Amazing amazing video. Got emotional watching this and seeing the passion emanate from John totally translated to me
this made me fkn cry. This man can tell the story... and has some story to tell... For me The F40 would remain the ONE by None and the fact he said that thing about Senna is just so epic. Thank you.
On of the coolest video's in the world.
The sound the passion is amazing.
This is a real love story. Thank you XCAR!
Excellent, well done...!
This is from F40 specialists based on the other side of the world!
Best car ever built hands down.
Listen to the harmony of those two beautiful machines in perfect sync from 10:20 to 10:27, truly a magical sound
Superb video. Superb story. Even got me a little misty-eyed with Paul's story of winning the race in 4th gear unknowingly with his parents and family there. I hope to meet Paul one day and visit his workshop! Top bloke and a talented driver.
That didnt happen tho. You cant win with only 4th gear unless the rest of the drivers are children or retarded.
Great stuff, thanks for this! And thanks to all who put in the hard work so that we can still see these beauties in all their glory
You guys make one awesome video after another.... Just brilliant...
Thank you!
This video gave me chills. Seriously, well done!!
Excellent video and an excellent story. Thank you for sharing John!
That first acceleration... DAMN!! Talk about shivers down the spine!
not just the ultimate Ferrari, the most ultimate car ever in my book.
The exhaust sound in the starting of video , takes breath away .
Absolutely fantastic video, lovely to hear the stories, the sounds and the joys of this man's adventure. And an awesome car!
