I like how Ben is able to convey how the car feels, without being overdramatic, overtechnical (though I wouldn't mind) while still entertaining and not being a hooligan with the car. Loved it, and do this as well with more down to earth cars that have something special.
@@JEZ288 Ya, IMO it was a massive oversight... And it's not like a V6 can't sound good. I've heard a GTR that sounded better than a V10. I think it has the 1/4 WR, but still means it's possible. That's all they needed to do to redeem their decision to use a 6 in a halo car as a successor to the LAF, but they didn't do it 😕
@@ragetemplar5104 🤣 I say it looks like the Daytona SP3 rendered in Minecraft, or made of Leggos. I'm not a fan of the looks, which is bad especially since I really like the Daytona retro look. I figure they did it for aero and performance, which is fine if the lap times add up, but that muted vacuum cleaner sound is almost unforgivable. The LaFerrari sounded amazing, and put down some amazing lap times, but how many people take their LaFerrari to a track to break a lap record? None... So it stands to reason the F80 was built for the driver, the F80XX will be built to smash lap record, so I just don't get it... I think Ferrari is having a bit of an identity crisis.
No amount of performance can redeem that sound and looks, car brands are obsessed with catching laptimes in a car that won't get out of the garage yet alone go on a track
But sf90 xx is on whole an other level compared with regular sf90 . ferrari has done an amazing job with this lovely super car especially with this true ferrari red color @@BenCollinsDrives
Ferrari genius engineers managed sf90 xx to be 4wd at hard stand still launches but be an only rear wheel drive car in above 100 kph speeds at the same time,because of it's amazing rear yasa axial flux e motor sitting between the engine and transmission . meaning at the level of track speeds this amazing super car acts and behave like a rear wheel driver,which is fantastic @@BenCollinsDrives
Very nicely done. The one thing I like the most is that while you are extremely competent behind the wheel, you're not at all arrogant about it. A true gentleman among a sea of tv/UA-cam personalities that tend to indulge in narcissism quite a bi, to the point that they give rather distorted reviews on the cars they test.
*Ben Collins should be hired as a top gear presenter. He's reviews are better than the current top gear hosts and he is a way better driver than them, with much more experience in supercars.*
@@josephkelly4893Top Gear still regularly gets hundreds of thousands of views per video, and even millions depending on the content. There may be more amazing channels out there nowadays, but Top Gear is still very much in relevance.
Ben your videos have gotten so good. But what sets you apart is the depth and insight you offer of the actual driving experience. Everyone else tries to offer overwrought metaphors in an effort to be different or relevant. You're offering pro driver insights without the fluff. Also your interview questions are interesting and authentic. It's a please watching your channel. 👏👏👏
Ben is my favorite racer......he conveys the driving experience in great detail and way more than other wheelmen and that is tributed to his long history of TV presentation. He's a man's man
Ferrari should be very proud to have Rapha on their team. And they should be thankful for having you show off what their products can do. Drone pilot again having a great time I think with super flying. Hi from Prague !
I’m just blown away by the fact Ferrari finally got you to their track to test drive a car for us! somebody in marketing must be a GenX! This was awesome thank you very much for sharing with us . I could tell it was awesome for you as well. cheers!
Fascinating to listen to the Development Engineer describing how the car has evolved. Watching the overhead Camera the way the car handled on all those curves and bends and the delivery of power showed the skill of the driver, Ben 😊 and the way the handling and control systems blend in to make the experience First Class. It’s great to see the Empathy you showed when driving this Car. Cheers Ben great video. 😎👍
If there was ever a audition video for the lead of the grand tour or top gear job done Ben is fantastic with giving such a detailed overview while not seeming to make you feel stupid
Awesome video!!!The ability to speak and explain ,what this piece of automotive art can do, while driving to the limit? is absolutely amazing!!!!!!Congratulations Ben!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻RESPECT!!!
Brilliant video Ben…… amazes me how you make it so effortless…the driving and the presentation…….combined to make it super informative without any ego spoiling it. 10/10
Mi piace sia la performance pura sia l'impatto estetico... tuttavia non è la Ferrari che mi fa sognare di possederla Grazie Stig grazie Raffaele e comunque sempre grazie Ferrari ❤
Wow! Wow! Wow! My sons always ask me what would be my "money no option" car. Its always been the Porsche 918 It is now the SF90 XX! What a remarkable video. I looked up the SF90 Stradale. Its nearly 3X what I could spend on an exotic, so its out of the question. Ill need to admire from afar
Awesome video Ben! Two great drivers, mutual respect, and a highly fefined weapon of a car! Like others I hope you drive the F80 at Fiorano. I'm sure it must be more than capable but the NA character, if not as quick as the XX. It probably has exceptional downforce as well. Cheers.
Great review, nice to see raffa getting some airtime. And good to hear they seem to have sorted out the sf90s tendency of never knowing if the car was going to push or pull you out of a corner
Another great review,plenty of details with a great perspective on the progress against other models. Nice demonstration of the dynamics and again the results from others. Very comprehensive,Thanks Ben 🎉🎉
As Kiwi fan I was gutted to hear that Ben was could've/would've done some filming in NZ if the hosting role at TG hadn't fallen through. Hope that his team or the crew at DriveTribe get a chance to revisit that in the future. Would be mad to see The Stig down here someday doing laps at Hampton Downs, Taupo or even the Rodin Cars test track 🤞
A lot of people really dont like the sf90, but I though it was always cool and this one is even better. I would say this looks better then the new f80.
Great video, its funny because you should of been on Top Gear with Chris Harris , you have very good presenting skills. Ferrari is on another level to the rest
Great review, thanks a lotCan`t wait to see the F80🙂Is it possible to transfer the Ferrari warranty to the second owner or is it for the first owner only? PS: I had the feeling that the moving of the car and the exhaust sound is not matching everywhere (for ex 8:25). Am I wrong?
The sound of the engine is very nice, if you wouldn't of mentioned it was awd i would of thought only rwd the way it smoke the rear tires I'd be having to replace them every time I drove it
I know it’s unfair to compare Ben to anyone else, but Tiff Nedeel needed a worthy successor and I believe that Ben will surpass the great Tiff. Both are great drivers that can properly speak while shining behind the wheel.
Always wondered with that’s hybrid cars? Does the actual engine have some sort of preheat ? If your in electricity mode for a while ,from start with no engine,. And you suddenly switch to internal combustion,,does the cold engine get damage?????
He mentioned, "thousands or millions of laps, probably the second". Well, gladly he is a racing driver and doesn’t have to do a lot of math in his day to day job. As a million laps even if it was at the lap record time of 77 seconds would add up to 900 days driving non stop 24h/7 days a week. If we assume that an average lap of 90s, 3 hours a day driving, for about 200 days a year (removing weekends, holidays etc) even then, it would require him over 40 years to complete a million laps. A million or anything is a substantially bigger number than a thousand.
I like how Ben is able to convey how the car feels, without being overdramatic, overtechnical (though I wouldn't mind) while still entertaining and not being a hooligan with the car.
Loved it, and do this as well with more down to earth cars that have something special.
You’ll like the New Year special then 👍
I hope Ferrari invites you back for a comparison with their new F80. Maybe it can redeem its vacuum cleaner sound with performance.
It sounds so bad... and it looks like a transformer from some cartoon
Not possible since a good sound can be enjoyed everywhere

Ben + Ferrari = Amazing
True, London is nothing like an Italian race track.
No kidding! I had to drive for 3 days these this summer. It was pretty terrible, TBH.
🤣 You would drain the battery listening to music before hitting the max miles!!
Another cracking video, Ben. Really enjoy these car review-style vids from you. Never stop them!
More to come!

Probably a 16 yr old kid 😂

Fantastic Ben , so glad your doing vids like this because there isn’t many folk out there anymore who can drive like you , top man 🙏
Thanks, stay tuned there is more to come soon.

Rafa is The Man
This is the first time I have seen this car in motion, actually. I have not seen any other UA-camr drive it.

Great review Ben, you make that track look like child's play and I would be off at the first corner. Gorgeous car and has the performance to match.
Thanks 👍

Many thanks!
Not just lucky Ben, you've earned it!
I wish we could have had some Stig dialogue over the years. This is great, and I feel like we really missed out.
Agree with the positive comments. Top tier production and delivery.
Thank you - we have some cool ideas coming up soon
Mi piace sia la performance pura sia l'impatto estetico... tuttavia non è la Ferrari che mi fa sognare di possederla

"Listen to this gear change"
Proceeds to bang it off the limiter like a true Honda owner
your FPV Pilot deserves a raise Ben
Ben, you are making me very envious of your access to the Ferrari team...they all seem super cool!
Another banger video guys.
Thanks! 😀
Wow! Wow! Wow! My sons always ask me what would be my "money no option" car. Its always been the Porsche 918

15:45 😂😂😂 good one 😜
This is the best looking and performing car on the market ATM, I'm in love with it.
What a BEAST!
The SF90 XX Stradale seems light years away from other offerings in its class and with a Nice AND A Naughty side :-)
wOw
Great drone camera work!
Thank you! 👍
starting to get traction with the big stuff! good for you!
Great review, nice to see raffa getting some airtime.

Glad you enjoyed it
This dude knows how to drive a car!
Ben Collins at Fiorano! Perfection!
The UK is nearing Switzerland levels of absurdity. You want to cure congestion, by making everything slower. lol
This thing looks a lot nicer than the normal SF90!
That’s the STIG!!!💪💯🫡
Great vid. You should be presenting Top Gear or The Grand Tour, you have the right style and experience and so if they come calling - say Yes!
Wow, thanks!

As Jeremy once said. "Wonderful.. Wonderful.. Wonderful"
A lot of people really dont like the sf90, but I though it was always cool and this one is even better. I would say this looks better then the new f80.
another belter Ben kidd 🤛🏻🔥💯💪🏻
Would love to have that dinner videoed, or atleast summarised. Im sure theres some amazing stories between you both. Top video Ben!
Love the two-fingers to the nanny state Ben 👏
what an incredible machine!
Great video, its funny because you should of been on Top Gear with Chris Harris , you have very good presenting skills. Ferrari is on another level to the rest
Ben your Ferrari videos are ace ❤
That XX is a bad ass looking car...
best types of videos please keep doing
supernice vid.. nice edit ..brilliant
Amazing review 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you liked it
Awesome video Ben thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
UA-cam should subsidise this content. A credit to the platform.
Brilliant stuff 🤩👌🏻💪🏻
Ben another awesome one 😊❤.
Really hope to see you get first dibs on Ferrari F80.
And when is happening build of between you and Richard 😂😅
Great car, great driver, great video - what more can you ask for ... only being an owner
Absolutely
@BenCollinsDrives WOW ! - thanks Mr Stig ! - I never expected a reply from you - what an honor - made my day
Another gtreat review Ben, thanks. :)
My pleasure!
Fantastic Ben! So informative too!
Much appreciated!
wow! i love the c8 furrary!
Great Video
Thanks for the visit
At first I found the looks appalling on this thing but now I'm starting to see the F50 resemblence and it's growing on me
This track and a 488 I fantasize about
Awesome video this one ben. Forza Ferrari 🤌
Thank you 👍
less words, more driving pls😊....
If you own a racetrack, this is probably the one to get.
Great stuff all around! 👍
Thanks for the visit
I love Lambo too, but Ferrari just does “special” slightly better 👌
Great review, thanks a lotCan`t wait to see the F80🙂Is it possible to transfer the Ferrari warranty to the second owner or is it for the first owner only?
PS: I had the feeling that the moving of the car and the exhaust sound is not matching everywhere (for ex 8:25). Am I wrong?
Will be sad when this Ferrari series is over. 👏🏽
The sound of the engine is very nice, if you wouldn't of mentioned it was awd i would of thought only rwd the way it smoke the rear tires I'd be having to replace them every time I drove it
SOUNDS GREAT.....looks like Leggo
Go to spec savers mate
You have to try Lotus Evija.
This thing have wild balance and proper torque and power🔥🤟👌😉
i miss the NA v8, that was a masterpiece
Raffaele easily has the best job in the world. I’d put that even above F22 pilot.
I know it’s unfair to compare Ben to anyone else, but Tiff Nedeel needed a worthy successor and I believe that Ben will surpass the great Tiff. Both are great drivers that can properly speak while shining behind the wheel.
1:42 they did him dirty lmao
Always awesome vids!!! 👍😊👊💥
Thanks 👍
@ luv’n ya work from Down Under… 👍
If there was a flower stand nearby, I’m sure he would have bought some for Ferrari. If I could you would have sold me the car. ❤🏎️
Always wondered with that’s hybrid cars?
Does the actual engine have some sort of preheat ?
If your in electricity mode for a while ,from start with no engine,. And you suddenly switch to internal combustion,,does the cold engine get damage?????
Great test. But for me 1030 hp is too much for everybody.
Downforce figures are massively impressive for as sleek as it is.
Thank Ben , did you have any of the laps timed ?
Awesome video!!!! Such an amazing car. Question: what was that yellow car in the garage in the background???? Dalara Stradale?
Yikes. Bring back Pininfarina.
The cornering behavior with the torq vectoring in the front makes the car look like it was off a driving game, yet driven in real life.
I prefer rear wheel drive
See, it did not take you that long to get to drive an XX.
love
Quality
Where is @Shmee150 right now? This vid will peak his interest for sure
He’s on my list!

They had a helmet rule at Fiorano but not for stig..
