Guys, I live in Sestri Levante, which is the opposite cape of the bay (called Golfo Del Tigullio) that begins in Portofino. The places shown in this video are where I go to school every day, but I didn't realise how beautiful they are until I saw this video, just because I'm so used to living in this area that I often forget how lucky I am. We've got beautiful places, beautiful buildings, beautiful gardens, a beautiful see and a beautiful countryside, reachable in just 20 minutes by car
Loved this especially the "Karbon Karsie" on the boat. "St Trop" is great including all the silliness.There used to be a great restaurant just back from the harbour in Rue Allard but for the life of me cannot remember the name but I,m going back a few years! The Daytona is a cracking looker but very heavy driving as Hammond said!! Interesting that Enzo once said that the Jag E type was the most beautiful car he,d ever seen!
I yearn for the feeling emotion when enjoying the pleasure of a soulful automobile. I want that indescribable feeling of empathy in my chest whenever I corner, whenever the engines takes a breath out the back, or when it screams in a redline soaked fury. Not warranty voiding launch control mechanism or ten way traction control. I want it precisely my way; its my personal test, its the soul from the driver linked with the soul of the auto. And It will be that way until I rest. Preach.
I’m watching this after viewing today’s Pistonheads’ Daytona vid. I then remembered TG had a race in one many years ago and was happy to find it! Great vid ..just a shame it is 360p (filmed on video I guess) 😎
Ferrari have made one of the best cars ever, and ludovico einaudi have made the best music ever, the combination of these 2 has to happen for you to fall in love, otherwise it's just a car and the other is just music, what magnificent editor
lol even me as a HUGE POrsche Lover and Ferrari Hater has to agree to you. What a beauty of a car ... just take those window lines .... the front .. its back lights .. the rims ... lol
Or… the as we know, they had a really large film crew and some a set up at strategic locations along the route... i don’t know I could be overthinking it
You have to keep in mind that since it's a boat, It has more contact surface area. If it were a care, which has less surface area, It'll be something around the Chrysler ME 412
I hope I'm not shot for saying this, but I rather prefer the Dodge Daytona over the Ferrari Daytona. In 1968, Chrysler unofficially tested the Daytona over 240mph at the Chelsea Proving Grounds. The Dodge is said to be the first car to break 200mph in NASCAR. But what's often neglected as that they mean a 200mph average. And when Buddy Baker was setting that record, he said the car was so stable it felt like he was driving to church. That's what they say today about the Veyron.
When he describes the Daytona retaining its essence despite its many faults, is the same way car nuts view old muscle cars - the car may turn bad, waste more gas than its rivals & not have a radio; but the car's soul never leaves. People overlook that notion all the time. New cars like the GTR & its entourage of UA-camrs can't process a notion like that. True fun doesn't exist for them. 0-60 times & blink of an eye shifts are what stirs them. The irony is they'd never track the car anyways.
Normally I don`t really like old cars, since new ones are just safer, more practical and more ecologic. ( I think allso better looking usually. ) But that old ferrari is just a beaty ! I think I`m in love :D
"The greatest grand tour-er ever made."
Little did Richard know he'd define that twice in a row.
Typical James, going the wrong way. On a boat. Before he's even left the harbour.

I'd buy a Daytona, F355, 458 and a 599 GTO for about the price of that boat.
You couldn't.
musicisfree91 Daytona are worth a lot way more than 200 000
But can you drive them on water?... Just as i thought
You could have done when this was shot, now not a hope. For the price of the boat I'd try for a few other cars I suspect.

How did the camera crew keep up? Did they have another one of those?

They do most of if not all the B-roll shots separately. Also wouldn’t be hard to keep up with the Daytona with a modern car.
The boat looks sooooo cool
Nice, i love this car! Its the only "old" Ferrari i have ever drooled over!
oh and whats the music in the beginning? (starting at 0:50 ?)
This is their second best epidsode after the show with they did with the corvette zr1, challenger, and cts v.
And now there's a Ferrari Portofino!!!
'Move your scrap of the harbour,' classic line.

Damnit, these guys have a great job.
If I could chose between Portofino and St. Tropez I would chose Portofino every time :)
