Ferrari 250 GTE on Special Assignment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- In 1962, crime in Rome was remarkably under control thanks to the valiant efforts of the local police. To reward the success of the force, the president of the Italian Republic himself asked Enzo Ferrari to assign two very special Ferraris to police duty. One of the Ferraris is almost immediately destroyed. One survives to this day. This is the tale of the survivor.

The most charismatic cop car ever. Maybe along side with Bullit's Mustang...
This guy can certainly tell a story. Awesome.
Jim Morrison wana write a song
What an incredible story! I'm italian and i knew this story but no all this particoulars...
60's, Enzo Ferrari, military forces, criminals and Rome: fantastic mix!
This is why I love cars. Very few have such fantastic stories and those are the car I look for.
That story needs to be made into a movie.
Spartafora in theaters Fall 2014.
It was in 1977 "poliziotto sprint"

The fact that this episode is in Italian... Just makes it so much better.
After hearing about spatafora i just want a movie like NOW lol ...... Jason Statham as Maresciallo Spatafora in " The Black Panther .........
+Rafael Angomas this is one of the best ideas i have ever heard of!
I know right, this legendary history is just like a movie for Hollywood
id rather give my money to watch that than fast and furious for sure,who wouldnt
+Rafael Angomas Highway Racer (Poliziotto Sprint) is the movie based in the story of Spatafora, but the film needs a good remake.
+Adrián D Where I can watch this movie?
What a car, what a story!
one of the great truly comfortable ferrari's.
unlike the newer trendy ones. real steel and not plastic looking.
These videos are gold
This was awesome. The incredible story behind the car. The man with sunglasses telling it with no hurry, but still fast, THE CAR, everything. Ten points.
Such a shame one crashed! Really nice Ferrari.
honestly these stories are awesome and touching and i don't even know why but they bring tears to my eyes, I've never felt like this before
The music is very well chosen... Props.
perfect
These lucky Italians!!! Great story!!!
I can believe no one knows about this!
There is a movie called Poliziotto Sprint (Policeman Sprint aka Highway Racer aka Convoy Busters(?) 1977) about this very event, the DS vs the 250 GTE.
It seems to be hard to find this movie in the US so I know little about it, but the movie is about this legendary historical event.
That said, it looks like someone recently uploaded the movie to youtube.

The eleven thumbs down for this is ridiculous. The people who gave it a thumbs down should be required to do a presentation on their undoubtably "better" cars. I'm sure that would give us all a good laugh!
They should be be required to *TRY* to relate a better and more endearing story about a very special car. We all know what would happen. Always remember, no one shows how much they hate themselves more clearly than a troll when it's being a troll.
Veeter99 Good point.
Chills the first time I watched it, still get chills now how amazing
Nice to know that possibly the coolest policeman ever is a very very active law enforcer...
True beauty 250 GTE. I had a chance to see this car in 2019 in Italy. Perfect condition in every detail.
I don't usually like videos before I watch them, but Petrolicious channel is the only exception.
the best video ive seen so far love the car and its story just wow thanks for putting this 1 up :)
One of the best and bonafide badass automotive stories I have ever heard. Why hasn't anymore made a movie out of the adventures of the 5-0 Ferrari
Old Petrolicious back when the videos were good. The guy telling the story of the car is pure gold.
I dont know how u find these stories but long may it continue.
Only just discovered this - what a story, what a film, what a car!
I really loved this video. The best one I've watched on the channel.
I love this cars history.
Its like a bloody movie.
Brilliant!
Spettacolo! Grande Spatafora.
What a treat to not only see such a unique offering, but also hear about its story. Your videos are great to watch.
It's hard to imagine a car cooler than this. Brilliant video.
One of the best so far! You guys always find the angle. Nice music, especially.
Your videos get better and better , one of THE best channels on youtube !!
This channel is one of the best on youtube. I really enjoy all the videos they upload!
Another awesome masterpiece. Thanks Petrolicious!
wow absolutely loved the historic background and story of this ferrari, i look forward to every tuesday, just to see which car will be featured in you're amazing videos. keep up the good work guys
Once again a BIG thumbs up for Petrolicious. Top work!
che storia spettacolare!!! questo canale è bellissimo!
OK so I'm watching this many years later, but what a story! And what a car!!
Anyone want to guess what a one off special build 250 GTE is worth now?
Each video is better than the last . Amazing work ! Congrats !
i like when he said ferrari did not hold back,, it chased him into the steps
I love this car! for some reason the 250 gte has always been my favourite car... it's just so elegant and then you go for a drive and utilize that racing chassis.And then theres that Noise!!! Who needs music when you've got a gte? :)
I am a Porsche guy, and have never ever wanted a Ferrari AT ALL.
But Holy Moly I want that car!
what an amazing story! :) i love the car but the history of it just made it so much more special.. i was waiting for a new episode this week and i was not disappointed. :)
This story had me laughing and smiling the whole time. Very good work.
the guy looks like Theo Kojak :-)
As a kid I saw a movie of this police car and its time in Rome ("a policeman finds and restores the beaten up Spartafora car, and goes car chasing down stairs again"-plot) up, so I know it's there. Anyone know the name of the movie? Found it below: Poliziotto Sprint

what an amazing story!
Loved the story! fantastic.
great story but, way to short! There was probably a lot of the story that needed to be told/heard! Make it longer and complete next time! great vid!
The whole point of this car is that is trashed. It has patina. It has history. It has some incredible stories attached to it (have you seen and listened to the video at all). This car is unique. Why would you want to destroy all that for a replica of an SWB, which will have no story. Moreover it will be worth a damn lot less!
That's a special story and an even more special car. Wow
What a great story.
As usual ...FANTASTIC
amazing story, amazing car....awesome work guys.
Got to love those Italians, beautiful
Absolutely fantastic, I love your channel. Keep up the good work!
What a great story and a great channel. Keep up the good work!!
legendary car, loved this story!
I can't believe the stories you guys uncover.
I like the vids by Petrolicious even before seeing them.
It was nice to see this car leading the Formula 1 drivers parade in Monza this year B)
This isn't dripiing history or awesome, it's a waterfall of history and awesome.
@spencerleeb...Amazing film footage...Thanks!
That was fantastic. Don't ever let that ferrari leave Italy.
@spencerleeb: you preceeded me! We'll done! Mr. Maurizio Merli driove the cer in that film! Was legendary!
Che musica dio cane, in perfetto stile
What a story best so far
beautiful car,interesting story.
I always like the look of the wheel tire combos like these, with a slight bubble/bulge on the sidewall. Looked up specs and found 185/80/15. Is that correct? The sidewalls don't look nearly that tall to me but perhaps the sidewalls merely look shorter to me due to the narrow contact patch?
I loved it. This guy knows his cars life story o.o I only wish I knew my cars life story >.>
Really interesting history and story
I prefered the soft subtitles instead of this hard ones but great video anyway!
What great stories behind this car!
Bella Machina! :-)
Interesting. Lovely car, too.
well done, again =). Keep the classy stuff coming!!!
I got lucky to sit in one of 250GTEs that was used by police. As a matter of fact I think it might have been exactly this one as licence plates were same.
bella macchina ❤️👍
My OCD would require me to park those wipers better... Cool car though, only in Italy!
Wow, highly interesting. Loved it.
Best story!
Zero downvotes. 'Nuff said.
soo good, what a story
Why isn't this one longer?! I feel like there's so much more to that story!
What a beautiful story!
I belief every car isn't just a thing, it's a part of history of someone in sometimes.
Great story
Love your channel , this car reminded me of La Piovra.
what is the name of the song? Pleeeaaaaseeeeee
I watched a 1970's Utalian 'Inseguimento' TV program on UA-cam yesterday which featured a black Ferrari 250 GTE chasing a Citroen DS through the streets of Rome! Not only did they drive down some steps but they also flew through the air for several hundred feet side by side! The Ferrari ;landed on its wheels but the Citroen nose-dived and crashed heavily.
That's 1977 Poliziotto Sprint
@@iono5556 That's correct. I watched it again the other day.

DS Vs 250 GTE = Epic police chase.. someone should do a movie lol
