These intros. God dammit I can’t get enough of them. Just do us a favor and throw some skits up on the MTH channel.
I feel happy that panda watches the same channels that I do 😂
Anthony!
I can’t BELIVE he watches them I feel like I’m in a dream
Seriously we need a best of throttle house intros
Hi Panda :D
When the FF came out I wasn't sure about the styling, but this is gorgeous with the right proportions.
Doug DeMuro gives this a styling score of 5. He couldn't be more wrong, and it's why I never trust any of his styling scores. I get that styling is subjective, but come on. Precious few cars are as gorgeous as this IMO.
@@bryanoakley5189 Nah that rear end is terrible I agree with Doug, they should have just made it into a hatchback
Interesting you say that. I can’t get over the wheelbase looking too long for the body. It is, however, the only practical Ferrari.
@@bryanoakley5189 This and the 812 make me feel some type of way. If I had the money one of these on some HREs possibly lowered with some exhaust would be one of my daily drivers. This and maybe a Wraith or Cullinan Black Badge and a downpipe, exhaust, tuned, wheel and lowered RSQ8 over the Urus.
I love this car but what would make it perfect for me is if the front end was as aggressive looking as the F12 Berlinetta.
"Let me have this😔"
Throttle House has the best intros
Absolutely yes.
Actually donut medias ads come close
@@hvk2664 James from Donut is the best
Yes no sh!t
I don't know if it was intentional or not, I assume so, but the green screen through the window and the reflection on the car just made it so much funnier.
For someone like me, the Ferrari GTC4Lusso is a car that will always stand above all the rest. All-wheel-drive, a big angry N/A V12, room for four, a brutal soundtrack, and looks that will take your breath away. It's the perfect recipe for a car in my opinion. A recipe that is dying, and will soon be forgotten, remembered only by those fortunate enough to have tasted it. You guys did this car a favor by giving it such a masterpiece of a car review. For that I thank you. You brought me to tears for a car that I didn't know I loved so much.
Too bad I've never seen one tested. The less powerful already trapped 128-129 mph on 1/4 mile. This is probably above 130 mph. It's light, spacious, luxurious, with a good 48/52 weight distribution. Awd also. Really can't find anything wrong with this.
What's amazing is you NEVER see one on the road. I've only seen one twice in my life, and it was the same car. Imagine Ferrari replacing this with an SUV. An atrocity.
"A sled with reindeer on crack"
12... 12 reindeers on crack :D
Not as fast as Reindeer on Meth, but ok.
After he said that, it became a life goal to experience this car lol
I really really physically LOL !!!!
hahaha yeah i also thought that was hilarious 😂
This has gotta be the best overall car review channel, from the production, to creativity, to professionalism, to entertainment, by far the best...
Perfect replacement for a couple of the MT shows.
Also check out Jason Camisa on the icons and Revelations on Hagerty, he’s the king for me but TH is pretty close, right with Chris Harris for number 2. Just personal preference.
And also u can hear the car even more compared to other car reviewers
"I don't need a ride, I'm not hungry."
I felt that.
The fact that Thomas is now happily eating his words and the Purosangue has a naturally aspiration V12 is awesome. 18:36
They had us in the first half of the intro ngl
I was actually wondering why James was wearing a t-shirt under a shirt in southern Europe.
I was confused about how overexposed he was but now it's all worth it - another great intro guys!
no
They "had me at hello." 🙂
They lost me when I saw this monstrosity
Seeing this after three years made me re-love FF and Lusso looks and practicality. What gorgeous machines these are.
But above everything else, how freaking good it sounds? No stupid continuous banging and crackling on the shifts, just beautiful engine noise that keeps building and reaching ever higher, again and again. A bit of pop on the downshifts is cool, but many manufacturers over do it so badly nowadays.
"This might be it. The.. Ultimate.. Car..." literal chills!
I'd take this over any hypercar. Only thing close would be a zonda but that has 0 usability for more than a 30 min rip
Really gave me shivers. I love these ending words.
I got goosebumps at the end
It’s because it’s true
Idk why this is your first Ferrari. You deserve to review every car in this world. You guys are really the best.
It's going to be a very sad day when the last naturally aspirated V12 Ferrari rolls off the production line
It's a sad day when this got canceled in favor of an "SUV" although considering the spy shots with the Maserati bodywork, the purolasagne will be as low to the ground that it couldn't even drive over a small stone
@@jessicakoenigsbach "purolasagne" lol
Lexus's new IS500 is such a bold move, NA V8 in 2021. If Lexus can put that out to the world, Ferrari probably will be able to make NA V12s until the end of times. I'm personally not a fan of Ferrari as a brand but man, they make some incredible pieces of art, fast art.
Sad thing is, they could just build a tiny 1l V12 that runs on natural gas or synthetic fuel and use it for a hybrid drivetrain but they won't do it, they will just stop building engines only to maximize profit and make up stupid lies about pure EVs saving the planet just to hide their greed.
I'm pretty sure it has already:(
You guys don't make " reviews"
You guys make "Episodes"
Yeah I don’t even think of these as reviews.
Doug is a review
The station wagon I've always needed
It's a shooting brake
For the sake of it an explanation: a coupé with a hatchback is a shooting brake, that's why all the 4 door "Coupés" with hatchbacks are considered shooting brakes (CLA, CLS, Arteon, GTC4). A wagon/estate is based on a sedan, with examples like the A6 Avant, E-Class T-Model or the Volvo V90 (which is considered the only "Oberklasse" wagon in germany, which puts it in the same segment as the S-Class or A8)
@@DefinitelyNotEmma exactly
@@DefinitelyNotEmma In America we don't know the word "Shooting Brake," which is why a coupe shaped sedan is considered a "hunchback," or we just call it a hatchback, but Mercedes like to call coupe shaped sedans "4 door coupes," so anyways, names are confusing.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Do words like “ironic” or “sarcastic” mean something to you?
@@ceboz no
Like literally, I have problems with understanding irony or sarcasm
thanks james for the focus on like “no the roof is worth it bc this car is abt sharing the insane ferrari experience w as many passengers as possible - if u want just a car for just a driver get the 812”
That i8 'get-in helmet' cracks me up every damn time!!
The FF/GTC4 Lusso are some of my favorite Ferrari's ever, I remember asking Ken Lingenfelter one time out of all his cars what his favorite was and he said his FF.
It's refreshing to see Thomas just lose his mind with happiness sometimes.
Also, this is now the 2F2F and nobody can tell me otherwise.
The “horses on road” moment was a nice touch. Loved that
anyone else’s day was made td when they found out these boys finally got a Ferrari on the channel🏎 sure they have a great way of making accords and camrys sound exciting, but I wanna see more episodes like this as well
Yep
Thanks guys, loved it! Every since Ferrari graced us with the FF and the GTC4Lusso, both iterations have become my favorite Ferraris. And you guys have done her justice. Tears to the eyes. Thank you.
3:57
That is quite possibly, the most Canadian description of a Ferrari...ever
There is no greater sound on this planet than that engine....
How about a Cobra with a Kenne Bell ua-cam.com/video/2lQX3cOAbes/v-deo.html
LF-A
Even the Ferrari F1 V10s used to sound better than their contemporaries. Roaring off into the distance on a sunny day, the others sounded like brilliant violent engines...but the Ferraris always had a certain melody to them. It's the exact picture and sound playing in my mind immediately when I think about words like "F1" or "Schumacher". Makes me all warm and fuzzy. God knows how they did that.
@@exothermal.sprocket sounds pretty wicked for sure
Svj
First Straight Pipes and now Throttle House... Looks like horses are running in Canada from now on. Congrats!
Rewatching this in Aug 2024. Glad that Thomas talked about the Purusangue with hopes of it having a NA V12 at the end.
That sound coming from the exhaust pipes is without comparison. Absolutely melodic sound that can’t be produced by anything but a naturally aspirated V12.
This black over brown interior is the best spec on this car. I am obsessed with the FF and Lusso. The dream daily.
Thomas: we'll cut that out
Narrator: they never cut it out
Makes you wonder what they actually cut out 🤔
*editor
Guys I literally got to ride in one of these earlier today and nothing has ever made me happier
The day you buy your first Ferrari, you know you've made it.
That is so true. I bought my first Ferrari (F430 spider) in 2006. My dad cried more than I did...
I love that it took Ferrari 2 more years after this video to release their SUV
This is the ultimate daily driver. If I could afford it, I don’t see why I would ever look at anything else for a daily. Sod the Purosangue or any of the other “super” SUVs. I am so sad nobody else offers shooting brakes because they are just so damn sexy and perfect.
Luxury, beauty, sportiness all weather, practicality, and every thing the sound the sound sound sound Wow! You nailed it the Throttle House
Y’all have 1 hell of a life story to tell your kids
3:57 "I feel like I'm sitting on a sled behind 12 reindeer on crack"
That has to be one of the best sentences I've ever heard in my life.
This is art. Art doesn't compromise . Going the SUV way is a compromise, it will never be art.
If you guys are ever in the Seattle area I've got an 812SF you could use for a video. The videography in this was fantastic, and I like that you guys were positive on the lusso. The 812 is another level above the lusso.
Would’ve been cool if they responded to your comment and took you up on your offer
@@charlie1832 to be fair, it's a bit of distance to travel. Offer still stands, I can even add in the F8 spider as another car they could review.
@@aquaticbob7595please DM them! Get this to happen! 😊
@@aquaticbob7595damn! You have some nice cars.
My boss at a performance mechanic I worked at for a while owned one of these. One day, his daily was low of fuel, so he naturally drove his GTC4 to the workshop.
I asked him what owning one was really like. He loved driving it, but said that the fuel was super frustrating. Keeping in mind he wasn't a super wealthy guy, not like most Ferrari owners. However it still baffled me that he drove it to work as his daily alternative.
The "No Dumping" sign at the beginning was such a nice touch
Congrats on getting to review the fancy stuff, just please don’t become like the straight pipes and start comparing everything to supercars.
I can't even watch those guys they are always conflicting and just don't have the chemistry these guys have..these guys have that old Camisa and Liberman chemistry that just works.. straight pipes is cool tho.These guys to me are like the new and better motor trend
I really don’t like the straight pipes, throttle house has such amazing production, genuine depth and character between Thomas and James and they are also huge car needs that don’t try too hard to be something their not.
@@mannyj5862 very much agreed. Used to watch TSP but they became utterly unwatchable after comparing family sedans to GT3’s, not to mention the horrendous ads/begging for subs.
I thought I was the only one who thought the straight pipes were snobby.
I thought it was just me. They used to be enjoyable but then became unwatchable. I thought I was getting old or something.
Wow the production value in this video is amazing, it blows every video that "the other pipes" posts of their supercar reviews
GORGEOUS video for a GORGEOUS car with GORGEOUS presenters!
So sad that my TV can't be turned loud enough for that GORGEOUS sound.
I hope you are a girl
I've seen every episode and I've bragged how great you guys are. Then you made this video, I can't think of a better video than this one.
I'm 39 and have a wife and kids, I proudly drive my 2012 Honda Odyssey, or 2020 Honda HR-V and lastly my 1999 Honda Civic sedan, LX with a 5speed as my family "sports car".
I am now is love with the Lusso and need to win the Lotto to buy one. Thank you for giving me car life goals.
First Ferrari on the channel - goals!!
Agree. Wonder if they will review the 812 novitec n largo next😏
In a world of cars with 92 gears and "Sport -> Sport S -> Sport S+ -> Track -> Ludicrous" modes, it's so good to see seven gears that actually work and "Comfort -> Sport" modes. Thank you, Ferrari!
The FF and this are my only dream cars.
While I'm still able to drive, I would love to own (and try to daily) one of these.
I love a good Shooting Brake body style car. The BMW Z3 M Coupe is another great one.
"I feel like I'm seating in a sled behind 12 cracked out reindeer"
....Haven't heard that before, dont even how canadian that is
Except... we don't call them reindeer here in Canada....
If I ever see a reindeer in real life, I might have to give it...
umm... 🤔
uhh... 🙄
Yeah, that was funny! 😆
Favorite video thus far
Good lord guys.
That was like a 20 minute long cargasm for you two.
Actually, it ended right at 13:19.
Everything following that was just straight up afterglow and cuddling.
It really must be love.
I have no clue whether I’m talking about the car or Thomas and James anymore.
So… Thomas @Throttle House 18:34 you did say you would eat your words if the Purosangue came out with an NA v12 😏 looking forward to seeing this on video soon.
Ferrari was really insane enough to give you two a Ferrari in the winter, looks like they had to prove Lamborghini that they, too, have massive balls.
Im pretty sure a dealership gave it to them
this car is 4 years old, owned by Lockwood Leasing and is for sale
Before the first minute of this video was done I knew I was in the right company.
Throttle house giving me old top gear vibes.
You guys are the greatest car reviews track days UA-camrs in the world! Thank you all so much for the fun content 💪🏼
congrats on reviewing Ferrari’s. your stepping up in the world
I wish more supercar reviews were like this. Just honest appreciation and excitement. Also, your camera-work makes such a positive difference.
This is my dream car, but just a dream.
Impossible to afford
Biddy boppity boo.
Yea at 400k...... I'll sleep well tonight
I had the speakers on mid-loud at 1:04 and everyone in the house wanted to know what kind of car was on-screen. OMG that engine growl is BEAUTIFUL!
Had me giggling like a school kid. Yay Ferrari.
@@ES-qe1nh yea
To me this is the best form of a car possible, all the driving purity with basically no practical sacrifices. Stunning looks matched with stunning performance.
“Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines” - Enzo Ferrari
True fact
@@notlNSIGHT TRUE FACT
That's literally the whole idea of muscle cars.
Electric cars kinda changed that. Now aero is everything.
Your intros never disappoint, and the content overall is top-notch. I appreciate how natural and conversational your dialogue is. It doesn't feel contrived like a lot of UA-cam content does.
Quickly becoming my favorite channel.
That motor sounds absolutely delicious! I would love to just be able to drive a ferrari or lambo for a day. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you. You guys deserve to drive these special cars. Keep up the good work.
So happy that THIS was your first GTC4LUSSO on the channel. My favorite newer ferrari at the moment.
The most underrated Ferrari ever made. The FF falls into this category as well.
It's like a hearse. I LOVE IT
The green screen in the reflection of the Ferrari got me! 😂 I wish I were there too James.
The production value of these videos are consistently amazing.
Man, their intros are so strong and creative.
If I had to choose only one car to own forever, it would be this. It’s the perfect combination of practically and performance.
one of these days I'll be able to predict what throttle house will do on the intro
Never
Nah...they are that good. The reason I click "Like" that fast.
They might eventually run out of ideas. Not really sure how they come up with some of the stuff they do. Very entertaining.
I grew up on the Niagara Escarpment and these roads where you filmed this. The Niagara escarpment was my backyard growing up. 6th line Milton, Mount Nemo, Cedar Springs, Appleby line etc ..fabulous.
As mind-boggling as it sounds, this is my favourite Ferrari ever! Except for the F40 maybe. :) I really dig a shooting brake. The only thing missing is a rear windshield wiper! It is just perfect otherwise.
Rear windshield wiper is a free option
My FAVORITE car channel, hands down ✌️
I have a feeling the GTC4 will go up in price because of the amazing Ferrari NA V12
Put your money of the F12 and the superfast, F12 is definitely a future classic
I am from Europe, Switzerland. Your review is one of the best I've seen. It really points out the really important characteristics - day to day.
The panorama roof, by the way, is blocking heat in the summer and let pass sun in winter.
Lambos and Ferraris cannot be compared with each other. Ferrari is unique and yeah just unique in its beyt sense
Together with the 812 it's definitely the best modern Ferrari
LOVE the Super Speed.
Maybe.... still in love with F12 TDF. Yes i know its a hardcore machine... but its simply gorgeous the way it was conceived. Anyway this GTC4LUSSO its a well mannered 812 Superfast or F12 TDF, which means that its lovely too.
If I'd never seen this channel before I wouldn't second guess it if it was called Top Gear Canada. You guys do a great job (better than Top Gear USA).
5:46 "a particularly unique uwu drive system"
I'm so happy for you guys! Thanks for sharing this review with us! What a winter car!
However much you're paying your editor, it isn't enough 👌🏻
Me for weeks now : I want a v12 Ferrari in Throttle House it would be nice . My fave brand and my fave car review channel *chef’s kiss*
🤌🏽
Nice! Though I would have liked to see a shot of the hatch space. Long live hatchbacks!
The video quality is just getting better and better!!! Go on guys
Your awareness of the 2nd "i" in Aluminium" makes me happy.
Congratulations on the chance to review this! I know this is huge for a channel, I’m glad you guys got this chance. I’m glad I’ve been able to see this channel grow.
Who else thought James was actually in Europe...
me - from europe :)
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 me - who didn’t ask
Nah, the background looked very dodgy, and we’re in the middle of a pandemic!
@@neelparmar6690 yeah i also instantly catched that its a green screen,but thats what they were actually doing
I kind a new it was a green screen, but wanted to believe they are actually in Italy and this madness is long gone. Ahhh,just dreams..just like that beautiful Ferrari.
You guys really out do thestraightpipes
I don't need to ring the bell, i'm here waiting at 9:00 am every Wednesday ;)
For me it's 3 in the afternoon.
@@ultraguy8771 From the UK? I'm in Virginia
@@clifftaylor3295 No, I'm from the Balkans, Bulgaria to be more specific.
I went to a party (In little old New Zealand) and a guy turned up in one of these. Being a car guy, I went straight up to him, introduced my self and literally said Ï'm here to be nosey about your car man". For context, we all drive things like Mitsubishi's and Mazdas from the early 2000s. He was super cool, took me for a drive and we got up to around 200kph - What an experience.... So cool! And that sound - He brought it because he needed something that he could cart his kids around in.
04:28 looking for a paddle that’s not there, proving once and for all that shifters should be wheel mounted not column mounted.

GTC4 Lusso: exists
Thomas (in basso profundo): “You’re watching TH. I’m Thomas.”
That Ferrari has so much testosterone, it lowered Thomas’s voice! 😳
Excellent review, above and beyond any other youtube channel, i feel like i'm watching top gear.
My life wouldn’t be the same without their intros 😂😂
The rear stance on this car is just... Perfect
Them: “Practical”
Me: “You keep saying that word. I dont think you know what it means”
relative practicality, no other modern ferrari will comfortably fit 4 adults and luggage
They said practical not frugal. Geez.
It’s a Ferrari with back seats, good luggage space or no back seats and tonnes of space. If I owned that car I wouldn’t need another car and that’s what practical means.
I fully agree with your conclusion: This ís the ultimate car. Not just a means of transport. A car. A proper car.
Since this is the first ferrari on your channel, hope you guys review the 812 novitec n largo, sf90, all time greats such as 288 gto, f40, laferrari, enzo.
It would be cool to see them review some McLarens too.
Novitec? Aren't that the guys that always ruin good looking cars?
@@jessicakoenigsbach well opinion differs from person to person. I think they make them look beefier that’s it. The exhaust is the main thing though.
