@@OriginalNoseBleed that's not just Ferrari, other brands also have similar politics to make sure their clients are indeed buying cars for themselves. John Cena had issues with Ford when he decided to sell his Ford GT before the one-year minimum time
I think one of the most impressive things Tim ever does with his cars, isn't all the miles, or refusing to sell for massive profits, or the crazy colour schemes, it's that he willingly takes them to not only deal with Parisian drivers, but he also willingly takes them around the Arc de Triomphe roundabout!
He (any owner) is not allowed to sell the car as Ferrari contracts do not allow it - they have the right to buy it back at original price if he upsets Ferrari in any way.
@@BMH1965 There are ways around that though, it's been done plenty of times. Obviously, doing so can make it harder for you to get Ferrari's in the future, especially the limited/special ones, so it probably wouldn't be a smart move on Tims part. However, it's certainly possible to sell cars like these for the massively inflated amounts they go for when in high demand.
The Purosangue is a stunning car that has grown on me. Your spec is beautiful (even though I am not a fan of the repetitious blue Ferrari specs) and am glad that you not only got an early one, but are really putting in the miles and enjoying your ownership.
@@matthewkobylinski510 So? Does your Toyota have a 6.5L N/A V12?, Does it have Side Slip Control?, Does it handle like a Ferrari?, This idea that car people have of "Oh, it looks like another car so it is the same car 😭" is one of the most immature things I have ever seen. And on top of that you got the model wrong, it doesn't look like the Crown SUV (It's actually called the State) it looks like the Crown Sport which is a smaller Crown SUV.

Tim don't underestimate how much your name adds to the value of the car. Everyone knows a Tim spec will be fully optioned and optioned correctly like it should be. You've owned lots of high end cars so you kniw how to order a car and get what needs to be on there and what doesn't.
I know another of the lucky ones that has a first allocation Purosangue. He has had a number of Ferraris as well as a few other high end supercars and he says this is an absolutely fascinating automobile. To date, his most favorite car he has owned because it fits seamlessly into every road car desire category he could have in a car he could literally drive everyday. Personally I think it’s uniquely beautiful in pretty much every way. Ferrari smacked it out of the park with this car for sure. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
SheShmee sighting!!! She really is a huge part of why you are so successful with her excellent camera skills that she deserves a LOT more credit for. I for one recognize and appreciate her and want her to know
It’s just incredible what kind of person parked next to you in the garage in Lyon; “I’ve got to get as close to the Ferrari as long as I can get out of my car within the line” Glad you’ve got PPF!
They didn’t even try and hug the opposite line - why on earth would you park closer to the car next to you and not the other side which is car free!? Blows my mind.
Getting a tire repaired instead of buying a new one makes complete sense, even if you have the money to buy a new one. Glad to see a class act even if the trip was full of inconveniences
How blessed are you to travel the world in exotic cars. I've never been to Europe. I have never seen any UA-cam video, where a car drives out of Monaco somewhere. I also have never seen that train before. Does go under the channel? I've always been a poor man, never seen the world. At my age 64, I probably never will. Oh well there are riches waiting for me in heaven. Merry Christmas Tim.
Without failure, no matter what precautions (e.g. angle, location, etc.) you take to isolate your parked vehicle some oblivious clown will somehow manage to ding your doors... It's one of autolife's unfortunate realities.
I’d sell it while it’s in high demand at the moment. The bubble has burst on the exotic market if anyone hasn’t noticed. Beautiful car but you have your limited Ferrari now and it’s definitely time to cash in.
He won’t just because Ferrari wouldn’t be happy if he sold it within the first if not 2 years I’m assuming he wants to be in their good books for future limited edition cars it’ll only go up from here tbh
Ya kno, you can buy a good kit for £20 and you can do it yourself? It’s pretty straightforward, take a pair of pliers, take out whatever is in it, ream out the hole with the ream tool and make it slightly bigger and rough up the rubber, then use the other tool in the kit to install the plug with some rubber cement on it and then trim the plug. It could keep you on the road and will last til you get back to the UK… Or you pay a tire shop £40-50 to do it and they use a patch by taking the tire off the rim and seal inside. Just a thought
I have this 1969 MG Midget, fully restored. 1.8cc VVC engine, Ford 5-speed, Frontline fuel injected, Emerald ECU, Minilites, 0-60 on the flywheel at 3.7 seconds. A very old antique. Gosh it rattles and moans, such fun. Road legal.

Tim have you thought about using tire plugs for punctures? I know you wouldn't want to go silly speeds with one in a tire, but much better than all the hassle and could get you out of a tight spot.
Plug would be good if needed to get you to the tire shop, but a proper vulcanized internal patch gives one peace of mind when making a 900 mile journey with a $500k plus car.
@@pedalmike Yeah I get that, but it would be much better and safer to drive with a plug in for a few hours or even a day or so instead of driving about with a nail in it, that could fall out at any-time.

Isn’t that a little bit overpriced? I mean, it’s a really…….really beautiful car but I thought it would be a lot cheaper. Hope you’ve had your share of bad luck behind you and have some positive stories ahead. Cheeeeers ❤
Shmee was probably one of the first customers to get a purosangue. Pretty good move from ferrari - they are not realy know to do stuff with social media influencers. But shmee is one of the few that allign with the expectation ferrari has for its customers. He also moved up in status by owning 3 brand new ferraris + the roma + the fxx. Just wait a few years and puresangues will be as common as a lambogini urus or a g63 (if ferrari is able or willing to fullfill customer demand). Prices will go down. I am also pretty sure that ferrari will make an entry level puro.
@@TheSaw410it's the brand name that's expensive not really the car. Its like buying property of the same size in different areas, one will be expensive while the other might be cheaper. 😂
In 2014 I bought a new Ford Ka on PCP. In 20 months and under 10,000 miles I had 3 punctures, the last one just a week before I changed it for a Fiesta - was going to go to the dealers to sign the papers and had to change a flat first :-( The first one was when the car had less than 1000 miles on the clock. Some cars just seem prone to punctures. Tyre technology is rubbish, really. Part of the reason I changed it before the initial 24 month PCP was up was that the punctures were getting me down
If you can get 1 million or even 750 you should absolutely take it business wise. You can get another in a few months when the price goes down and you have plenty of other cars to drive. Also to be honest, i really dont like it nearly as much as the GT4lusso
That’s not how Ferrari allocation works. If he sells this now for a huge profit he can forget getting an allocation for anything limited and special ever again.
@@davidmarshall6409 kinda sad then. Honestly this is the least interesting car i think tim has ever had. A poor sound, a really unattractive color and not really an SUV. To me its no more than a GR YARIS with a horse logo and a v12. I find it really uninspiring considering what other companies are doing on this end. Porsche to me nailed the concept. More keen to see Ferrari try to do a rally style car. I find the huracan to be a great concept but quite ugly. Would love to see Ferrari do something more like the GT4 Lusso as a rally car rather than this
For such a high class place, Monaco has some fairly budget looking tunnels. The tunnel you went through right before getting the tire replaced looked like a mine shaft.
100% shmee would be selling the Purosangue tomorrow if it wasn’t for the fact it will affect his relationship with Ferrari and his priority for high end special cars. I think behind the smiles he’s probably annoyed he can’t sell it and make a profit
People who were trolling Ferrari for making the Purosangue are absolute clowns. The Puro is a masterpiece and its value will only increase. Ferrari know what they're doing and they're doing it extremely well. It's a fantastic car.
I don't have a good feeling about the Ferrari prices. No matter which model, from the 360 to the LaFerrari, they've all gone up. This is a clear sign of a bubble, but I have no idea when it will burst. 1 million for an SUV is just too much, especially because the predecessors FF and GTC4Lusso were not really successful, there was no oversticker and Shmee bought them used instead of new. I trust Manny Khoshbin. He canceled his SF90 allocation because they wanted to sell him numerous other cars like the Purosangue. He doesn't currently have a Ferrari in his collection, even though his son is called Enzo. I know other collections who have every car from Porsche to Pagani except Ferrari. I had the same feeling at Ferrari Munich. Unbelievably unsympathetic. I wanted to find out about the 296 GTB, which I can't afford at the moment, but maybe in 1-2 years. Then I decided I'd rather burn the money than give it to these morons and ordered an M3 xDrive on the same day and have had a lot of fun ever since. Next goal Lamborghini.
This car looks like a series of design compromises among different stakeholder groups involved. I’m sure it drives great, but ever since I saw a posting of this one compared to one of the Mazda models (they look very similar) I can’t imagine buying this just because it’s a Ferrari. I can imagine buying and flipping it to make money. That makes sense. Keeping it does not.
Glad you found the E-Movis tag helpful, I found it worked sometimes or not, and it took ages to raise the barrier, at least twice I had to reverse out and approach a different barrier with resultant swear words from other car users, and I notice you just waved the sensor about rather than affix it to the windscreen. It spoiled my holiday, approaching dozens of tollbooths with dread in case it didn't work. I'm not sure it's cheaper either.
It’s not just you, in September I purchased 4 new tyres for my 2019 Mustang GT. Last week on Thursday I got a low pressure warning for the offside rear, damage right by the sidewall so irreparable, new tyre required. Tyre replaced on Saturday and all tyres checked as part of the Tyre Shops usual practice. The next day I get a low pressure warning for the near side rear, this time a screw which turned out to be repairable when I visited the same Tyre Shop on Monday!
I have so many unpopular opinions about everything The ferrari 458 speciale don’t even look good I rather have a ferrari testarossa and 458 italia coupe then any other ferrari Im not a ferrari fan anyways Im fully aware it’s a unpopular opinion But have a good day
At minute 6:50, looking at the piece surrounding the yellow upper component, that darker ring around it looks like it's soaked in hydraulic fluid from the suspension indicating a possible leak. I hope not though.
Great video schmee i really enjoyed that one. What an awesome car. Heres to more great trips in 2024. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the team.
Unpopular opinion but the Purosangue is the greatest Ferrari of all time. Not because of what it is, but what it will allow Ferrari to do with the extra cash
I love that you are destroying the value of the car by ACTUALLY ENJOYING IT. For Fs sake, I swear the car world has just come to flipping cars over to get more money 🙄 Like they are just cars, who spends double a car's price on a car? (Specially when that's £1M now) You're just the best for enjoying your cars Tim 🥰❤️
Saying no to a half a million quid profit must mean being in Ferrari's good books can be pretty valuable.
He won’t be allowed to sell it. Can’t believe he had to buy so many brand new for the new one.
If he sold the puro they might pull his sf90xx allocation

Isn’t that a little bit overpriced? I mean, it’s a really…….really beautiful car but I thought it would be a lot cheaper. Hope you’ve had your share of bad luck behind you and have some positive stories ahead. Cheeeeers ❤
Shmee was probably one of the first customers to get a purosangue. Pretty good move from ferrari - they are not realy know to do stuff with social media influencers. But shmee is one of the few that allign with the expectation ferrari has for its customers. He also moved up in status by owning 3 brand new ferraris + the roma + the fxx.
Just wait a few years and puresangues will be as common as a lambogini urus or a g63 (if ferrari is able or willing to fullfill customer demand). Prices will go down. I am also pretty sure that ferrari will make an entry level puro.
its not the list price, its sold out everybody wants it, so people are offering lots of money for it. I can imagine he got an Offer for 1M
1 million dollars and looks a Mazda SUV
@@TheSaw410it's the brand name that's expensive not really the car. Its like buying property of the same size in different areas, one will be expensive while the other might be cheaper. 😂
@@TheSaw410it costs only 400.000 euros
In 2014 I bought a new Ford Ka on PCP. In 20 months and under 10,000 miles I had 3 punctures, the last one just a week before I changed it for a Fiesta - was going to go to the dealers to sign the papers and had to change a flat first :-( The first one was when the car had less than 1000 miles on the clock. Some cars just seem prone to punctures. Tyre technology is rubbish, really. Part of the reason I changed it before the initial 24 month PCP was up was that the punctures were getting me down
If you can get 1 million or even 750 you should absolutely take it business wise. You can get another in a few months when the price goes down and you have plenty of other cars to drive. Also to be honest, i really dont like it nearly as much as the GT4lusso
A few months 🤣 these will have a wait list for several years. Look at the new GT3RS
That’s not how Ferrari allocation works. If he sells this now for a huge profit he can forget getting an allocation for anything limited and special ever again.
@@davidmarshall6409 kinda sad then. Honestly this is the least interesting car i think tim has ever had. A poor sound, a really unattractive color and not really an SUV. To me its no more than a GR YARIS with a horse logo and a v12. I find it really uninspiring considering what other companies are doing on this end. Porsche to me nailed the concept. More keen to see Ferrari try to do a rally style car. I find the huracan to be a great concept but quite ugly. Would love to see Ferrari do something more like the GT4 Lusso as a rally car rather than this
I was not ready for how hectic that roundabout was 😂
For such a high class place, Monaco has some fairly budget looking tunnels. The tunnel you went through right before getting the tire replaced looked like a mine shaft.

How is that a bad thing?
@@ccalvinn MediTerRaNeaN EuROpe, its all the same mate, wealthy or not it is not very impressive when it comes to road infra.
Thanks for the ride along..I usually train from Paris to Lyon and car/driver in Paris.. ciao
100% shmee would be selling the Purosangue tomorrow if it wasn’t for the fact it will affect his relationship with Ferrari and his priority for high end special cars.
I think behind the smiles he’s probably annoyed he can’t sell it and make a profit
Epic, Tim! Boy that's a WHOLE lot of petrol!!
Million dollars with a check engine light on before 800km 😂😢😢😅😂.
As long is they put a radial patch and not a plug you should be good for the rest of your journey
i had 3 nails in three different tires in one week on 33” off-road tires earlier this year. sometimes, you just have a rough week 🥲
That is catastrophically bad luck, jeesh!
I have never heard someone say jeesh😂
People who were trolling Ferrari for making the Purosangue are absolute clowns. The Puro is a masterpiece and its value will only increase. Ferrari know what they're doing and they're doing it extremely well. It's a fantastic car.
I don't have a good feeling about the Ferrari prices. No matter which model, from the 360 to the LaFerrari, they've all gone up. This is a clear sign of a bubble, but I have no idea when it will burst.
1 million for an SUV is just too much, especially because the predecessors FF and GTC4Lusso were not really successful, there was no oversticker and Shmee bought them used instead of new.
I trust Manny Khoshbin. He canceled his SF90 allocation because they wanted to sell him numerous other cars like the Purosangue. He doesn't currently have a Ferrari in his collection, even though his son is called Enzo. I know other collections who have every car from Porsche to Pagani except Ferrari.
I had the same feeling at Ferrari Munich. Unbelievably unsympathetic. I wanted to find out about the 296 GTB, which I can't afford at the moment, but maybe in 1-2 years. Then I decided I'd rather burn the money than give it to these morons and ordered an M3 xDrive on the same day and have had a lot of fun ever since. Next goal Lamborghini.
This car looks like a series of design compromises among different stakeholder groups involved. I’m sure it drives great, but ever since I saw a posting of this one compared to one of the Mazda models (they look very similar) I can’t imagine buying this just because it’s a Ferrari. I can imagine buying and flipping it to make money. That makes sense. Keeping it does not.
Nice Mazda CX-5
Yup. It's so boring. Looks so cheap.
Fair play Tim, you make the long drive look so easy, even on the Gumball you never seemed tired
@@AB-80-X it’s a British term of endearment
Lift plus? Yeah ok Ferrari… 🙄
I really need lift plus plus but that doesn’t exist yet 😩
Only the French could take a concept as slick and simple as a roundabout and fuck it up.
The Curseangue
Thanks Tim I hope you and all the crew have a great Christmas looking forward to the spec of the Roma Spider
A Million Bucks? 😵
Or more!
I don't think anyone with a brain would pay 1000000 dollars for a ferarri not an suv when you can get a lusso with the same engine and seat 4
You need a tire plug kit. So easy - no more stranding.
Ferrari MX-30
Hey Shmee, I can't wait to see you star the next Batman movie, unless you've already done it. Bravo for surviving Paris.
You should just cut your losses, dude. A road legal "FXX" ain't worth it.
Said no one ever
This is first fxx for road it will be worth more in future
Lmao bro get a job and a life. Can't belive i found a tim hater, so rare.
SF90 XX will not go down in price unlike the normal SF90.
@@Bow_SecSay plenty. If you like the new one, fine whatever. The old XX's are actually worth the headache.
Glad you found the E-Movis tag helpful, I found it worked sometimes or not, and it took ages to raise the barrier, at least twice I had to reverse out and approach a different barrier with resultant swear words from other car users, and I notice you just waved the sensor about rather than affix it to the windscreen. It spoiled my holiday, approaching dozens of tollbooths with dread in case it didn't work. I'm not sure it's cheaper either.
Very expensive Mazda CX-5
Always best to carry a can or two of Halfords tyre weld fixes everything. I used it in a tyre that was on a car for 2 years so great investment lol
Why are you giving the price in dollars? You’re English.
Because a million dollars sounds more cool than 800,000 pounds.
people know more familiar with dollars more than pound
dollars are worldwide money
Because he has American viewers.
He's in Europe right? Should use Euro so not Dollar or Pound or Rupiah 😂 wth
Merry Christmas to you all & all the best for the channel in 24 👍👍👍
Terrible. Sadly this car wont make good UA-cam content…… Sell it
It’s not just you, in September I purchased 4 new tyres for my 2019 Mustang GT. Last week on Thursday I got a low pressure warning for the offside rear, damage right by the sidewall so irreparable, new tyre required. Tyre replaced on Saturday and all tyres checked as part of the Tyre Shops usual practice. The next day I get a low pressure warning for the near side rear, this time a screw which turned out to be repairable when I visited the same Tyre Shop on Monday!
Most likely there are screws laying around on your street. Anyone doing a renovation? Had the same thing happen to me as well
Sell this hideous thing.
The device you use at 9:20 is also used in Portugal, as we invented it :) Over here it's called "Via Verde", or "Green Lane" in English.
Tha don't look like a 1 million . Looks like a Hyundai
Sounds like 1
😂
Mazda
Looks like Ferrari borrowed old Astra Sri wheels for this , great seeing you put mileage on it👍👍
Youve gotta sell it at that money surely 🤣 its so ugly
Could get a 458 speciale or something else actually nice
I have so many unpopular opinions about everything
The ferrari 458 speciale don’t even look good
I rather have a ferrari testarossa and 458 italia coupe then any other ferrari
Im not a ferrari fan anyways
Im fully aware it’s a unpopular opinion
But have a good day
23:55 It feels exactly the same as in Bucharest at the Arc de triomphe roundabout, chaos and nobody keeping their lane 😅
At minute 6:50, looking at the piece surrounding the yellow upper component, that darker ring around it looks like it's soaked in hydraulic fluid from the suspension indicating a possible leak. I hope not though.
Great video schmee i really enjoyed that one. What an awesome car. Heres to more great trips in 2024. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the team.
Unpopular opinion but the Purosangue is the greatest Ferrari of all time. Not because of what it is, but what it will allow Ferrari to do with the extra cash
Love it! But my £8k 4.4 TDV8 L322 is also amazingly comfy and a probably costs the same as a single wheel on the Ferrari!!
My neighbour just took delivery of his Purosangue, Looks nuts in person.
I love that you are destroying the value of the car by ACTUALLY ENJOYING IT. For Fs sake, I swear the car world has just come to flipping cars over to get more money 🙄 Like they are just cars, who spends double a car's price on a car? (Specially when that's £1M now)
You're just the best for enjoying your cars Tim 🥰❤️
