when you realize jay leno is the only car youtuber out here that keeps his channel completely about cars and their owners and nothing else.
Edit: Damn, 2000 likes lol. I was 16 or 17 when I made this comment😂
@@jasonbenham9338 don't forget the delivery of the DEVEL 16!!!!!
Jason B There’s quite a generation gap between Jay and most automotive youtubers..
Because Jay had an actual job, is a millionaire and is doing this just for his own fun. He isn't some small time UA-camr begging for subscribers and ad revenue.
@spitzndtruth 1 He actually does talk about himself if you have seen enough of his reviews/video's, mostly he talks about himself when there's a car that brings back nostalgia or some feelings of his of his younger times.
Harry's Garage is a wonderful channel with a british flare to it. I love both channels!
In my oppinion this is the best looking supercar ever made
Yeah, it's defiantly up there. I think the 959 was gorgeous as well.
Especially the euro version without the rubber bumper crap.
I'm not a fan of the styling of this car at all. Different strokes... I'm sure it's a blast to drive though. Very visceral.
No way!... F60 and 458 look way better!.
eh, no
David Lee is super rich and has a huge Ferrari collection, but he seems genuine and humble. Him Jay get along great because of their down to earth personalities. I love that these two guys share their car collections rather than store them.
Fact I love David Lee he be joking with jay. And has a great collection of modern Ferraris.
but jay Leno still will never buy a Ferrari...... he doesn't buys Ferraris because of the way Ferrari owners act..... Also that they won't sell to you if you haven't bought from them before... Its more a club than anything...
David Lee was born at just the right time to prosper from all the wealth that has been diverted away from America and sent to China
@@MNlotus1not bc of the owners but dealership lol
I feel bad for those two, only old cars in their garage! They'll never know the pleasure of leasing a new Honda Civic, putting "Type-R" stickers all over and a $40 fart can exhaust and putting those pesky Geo Metro owners to shame when the V-Tech kicks in.
David's laugh is contagious and genuine.
He got that millionaire laugh 😂
Very likable, like Jackie Chan but not goofy. The way he laughs at all Jay’s jokes. Just two friends having fun.
In 1993 when I was 7 years-old I bought my first F40 poster. Best 20 dollars I ever spent.
Was it the one laminated on board hence the price ?
Haha nice!
I also got a F40 poster when I was a kid back in the 90's.
I actually got two posters: a F40 and a 911 Turbo (993)
It was a present from a family member! ;)
i got a f40 poster handed down to me from my cousin. Its the best thing to look at on my wall.
I got a picture of a poster developed off a Kodak in the 90s and had it in my scrap book.
David lee looks like one of the happiest guys on planet earth. Such great spirit! People like him deserve this kind of success
Honestly he is a really nice guy. You can tell.
yeah too bad all nice people can't be billionaires and collect supercars
Shut up
he looks F@#$%n dorky to me ....
The most amazing looking car ever made ever. Ever.
Wow, 30 years old and still the best looking car of all time for me. It’s just perfect! All the right things on the right places.
My childhoods dream
I went to Maranello this summer, Italy. I saw it in reality for the very first time. It s nothing like your little match box car or a photo u d look at. it is magnificent in reality. Far more than you d think. It looks so modern so slick. I just stood there a looked at it..for a rather long time. It s lie M Angelo decided to make one car... Love the F 40. Tho I m a Porsche guy... Its my favorite of all time. hands down.
Lies again? Grab Affordable Ride
All of us car lovers had this poster on our wall in the 90's. Fantastic to see one is this condition.
Most iconic Ferrari IMO. This thing was a legend back in the 90s.
I remember reading Guinness Book of World Records as a kid and the F40 held the 0-60 record at the time. This car is such an icon, thanks David Lee and Jay Leno for this video!
When I was a young boy this car was my dream car - and still is.
I’ll do 50 shipped on it
I love how he's always ragging on Lee about the socks.
This continues in the Enzo video... Won't spoil the exchange, but a funny happens between the two gear heads, very cute.
😂😂👌
Looks like I’m catching the story starting with the 288 now this and next is the Enzo
And the manual windows... haha
He stays trollin' this guy.
Huge shoutout to Nicola Materazzi, the man that almost single handedly designed this car (and a lot of other Ferrari, from the gto to the Testarossa). From the engine, to the gear box, to the air intakes, almost everything of this car was produced by his mind. A real genius throwed away by the Fiat management.
If you haven't watch this video yet watch it ua-cam.com/video/AlX-kgJuzxU/v-deo.html it's an interview of Materazzi
Antonio Nero is the real hero,he got the f40 aproved for sale in the USA.Theres some great stories about that adventure😊
indeed. the GTO Evo had poor drag coefficient so Materazzi asked for a different shape to be drawn and wind tunnel tested for the F40. a lot of the intakes, vents, the 3rd middle pipe for the wastegate, the very light interior are his ideas. the car got criticised for a number of things which happened because after he left nobody implemented things like the option of different size seats or on-track training which Enzo had agreed would have been offered. Fiat simply pocketed the money and made many more than originally planned.
and to SEGA for making TURBO OUTRUN featuring THIS car!!
yeah Materazzi was the man
I love how David Lee always interviews jay...I can see the respect level between two great car collectors...
David Lee seems like a genuinely nice guy.
No seatbelt though. Sorry if someone mentioned already.
@@Ruanomar He does have the lap belt on around his waist...
he is a man worried about his car. what a guy for letting someone even touch that masterpiece!
@@Ruanomar Why does it matter too you?
@@samright4661 I'm worrried for his safety...
>"Everyone talks about the F1 Mclaren"
Yes, it's you, every single episode.
why wouldnt he
because it's fucking annoying
too many F1 fans
for me it's f40 > F1
Too many F40 bandwagon boys. 330 P4 > F40
You would too, if you owned one
If you're having trouble imagining just how quick 200mph is, in 1989 I was standing on a small parking lot next to Autobahn 7 (I think, we were driving to Austria and I was sharing driving duties with my dad) when one of these came by at full pelt. Before I'd said "Dad, look, a Ferrari!", it was all but out of view.
Jan Verschueren
I remember seeing a very old video filmed from the cockpit of a car - my memory is saying it was an F40 - going flat out, 200mph, on a regular highway/autobahn/motorway/whatever. Seeing how quickly it approached and passed regular traffic - traffic that would have been moving at 60-80mph probably - was downright scary. Literally no margin for error at that speed.
I know that video too.
I had exactly the same experience in Germany -- however, in my case, it was a CITROEN MASERATI SM zooming by !
Regarding the F40 -- even today she takes the cake!
Try doing 200 on a bike it’s a rush😂
That is one incredibly beautiful car...Ferrari outdid themselves on that one, huge props to Nicola Materazzi , the guy who evidently spearheaded the whole F40 project.
Jay is the ultimate interviewer when it comes to cars, he has one of the biggest car collections out there and knows lots about different automobiles, Love that sound of the Ferrari F 40, and the fact you can shift gears like most men like in a car like the F 40.
Probably the greatest car of all time. Proper.
Malc180s certainly is for me!
marconico what an imbecile u are squekr
Jay getting the owner to crack up like that is priceless
I truly adore the F40. My kind of classic super car.
Still my dream Car. Automotive perfection.
Funny how Jay was never a Ferrari guy until he met David Lee lol An Asian guy teaching an Italian the Ferrari...
Later that day Lee also cooked the best pasta Jay had ever eaten.
Give me a break. He's always talked about liking the older models and the older spirit of the company. He's made it pretty clear he doesn't like what they've become and he doesn't feel the need to have to prove himself by buying all these 288's, F40's etc...just so he can get the new model.
He'd rather buy from companies that were like what Ferrari was under enzo.
+doublestrokeroll
Lol Jay Leno gets given cars.... Not all but he don't have to buy anything.
If Jay is driving a companies motor it's advertising for that company.
Jay is a Lamborghini guy.
Well he's half Irish, so....
Thanks to David Lee for sharing his car at Jay Leno's garage !!!
Fantastic Jay
Never any MIC battery issues anymore after my post :D :D :D
his laugh is fantastic hahaha
When Jay starts the engine...Chills!
The dynamic between Jay Leno and David Lee is the best
Thank You Mr.Lee for sharing your collection with all of us.
People who hate on David Lee are just jealous.
You have made it in life when you own a F40.
Yeah I don't get it, he doesn't seem like a very offensive guy.
Black King I know but Alejandro has a blind herd type of audience.
Basically what you just said!
+aumkar chandan salomondrin doesn't even make good videos anymore so I say David Lee>Salomon
I like David - don't know a thing about him, but he seems nice and easy-to-laugh, but you don't "make it in life" because you own something or even attain great wealth. I could be wrong - I'm not - but for the sake of argument...
+aumkar chandan Yep. The beef should stay between Alejandro and David. The CupGang fanboys should just stay out of it, but of course no one on UA-cam listens to reason. Enjoy the cars and quit acting like blind sheep.
David Lee seems like such a cool dude! I always like when he's on the show.
That. Red. It's hypnotizing.
I took notice of the paint too.
Ferrari Red
in person you can really admire the carbon fiber weave under it because the paint is so thin
@@Turkiye958
Rosso Corsa*
MY GOD that car is just ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! not just in the aesthetic sense, but geez is it in amazing shape for being almost 3 decades old! the paint and shine, just the overall condition of the car is truly marvelous.
Watching that thing fly up the highway was actually beautiful
The F40 -- What a dream Car !
The year was 1992.
I went to the Dealership on Common Avenue. in Boston.
There was a "MAGNUM PI FERRARI" parked in front of the building. Impressed, I walked around the vehicle.
However, in the Dealership there was a 1992 F40 -- it blew my brains out !
Upon exiting the showroom, I saw the "Magnum Ferrari" again.
Somehow, it looked -- insignificant ! The body, even the weels looked rather common .
Analysing all the array of modern Supercars -- and the F40 still takes the cake !
I didn't know Jay Leno was such a car fanatic. His enthusiasm is so genuine - you could listen to him all day.
The road test was funny that David Lee was taking selfies of himself and Jay in the F40. The F40 is a beautiful and as long as people like David Lee can preserve them, the world will continue on it's way. Thanks Jay.
Charles Damery David seems like a genuine guy. Love his laugh.
Jay weeds the fakes out quickly. David's been on the show a couple of time and has a great Ferrari collection.
Im surprised that Jay didn't give him a hard time, for that
This car was 100% projected by just one italian guy Mr. Materazzi. He created the design and the engine.
That interview of the story will go down in history. It adds to grandure that is THE F40!
@Carlo Gori Materazzi then went on to design the Bugatti EB110
THIS was the car I dreamt about as a kid… What a beautiful work of art 👌🏼
✌️
The profile of the F40 is such an exemplary image and it immediately comes to mind when I think of the word "supercar." Every angle and curve is 100% perfect. I also like the fact that it's all mechanical and no computer assistance. Must be a truly amazing driving experience.
You nailed it Jay. As an 80s kid this still is and will always be the Holy Grail.
Well, a couple cars rival it. The Ferraris in Miami Vice and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The Lambo in Cannonball Run.
Tell that to Ralph Lauren who owns basically all of the 250 series Le Mans racecars. He'll laugh so long. A cheaper quality Ferrari from the 80s has nothing on all-time legend classics. The F40 doesn't have any true, inspiring history. It was just a product.
I always thought it was a beautiful car too. Remember them in the old Dolph lundgren movie "the Joshua tree"
I’m a 90s kid (born in 89) and I agree. This car is just perfection and just looks like the ultimate driving experience. Wish I could drive one one day.
Countach😊..
I love when your buddy with no socks starts laughing he seems like a good guy
Spokane Wa 1994 my uncle Jason RIP picked me up from fifth grade in a yellow 308 gts Ferrari.
Spokane is a smaller city for sure, probably 250k Population back then. Not known for any exotic cars, it was amazing he had one. And many others porsche, lotus, lamborghini. My uncle had them all, not at once, just trade in/upgrade. However I always got to ride in the exotics. I got more seat time then anyone, besides Jason himself. Acura NSX, Dodge Viper, hot rods, muscle cars. So I got bit at a early age and still have the sickness. The 308 was awesome and I'll never forget the smiles per gallon and thumbs up. RIP uncle Jason and thanks for the memories. I haven't seen a Ferrari in Spokane to this day. They recently built a Porsche dealership in liberty lake, that is about it. Now the population has doubled and someone could probably do well opening a car lot for these cars, a smaller lot of course. CDA idaho not far and the "Celebrities" are buying up vacation homes on lake CDA to the dismay of locals. Anyway, love the channel Jay Leno thanks for sharing these legendary card, truly entertaining in a time of negativity and nothing but crap on TV.
This guy is a true car guy and you can tell he loves the cars.. and what a collection! Just wow!
I love that he pretends to play violin when he starts the engine lol.
Plays it backwards too!
Music to his ears.
Anyone would think there's a comedian in the car
David lee laughing is like the Asian kid in Salomondrins video at Raising Canes
Hands down the most beautiful car ever made. #1 in my book.👍👍👍
David Lee is such a class act ... Dave and Jay are both awesome people with total passion for cars 🚗!!!! Thanks to both for sharing the history with all of us !
My goodness, the sound of the engine at startup was nothing short of glorious!
Jay is the greatest! Never takes himself too serious. You’re the man Jay! Love your show.
Timeless design. Perfect proportions and stance. Raw. In terms of appearence, the Miura is it's only competition.
I mean pretty much every Group-B are about the same : brutal, crazy, raw & pure mechanical beasts of cars (Statos, 037, S4, Audi S1 Sport Quattro, Peugeot 205 T16 turbo, Ford RS 200).
But the F40 is definitely more, since has the ultimate mental experience crazy car for today streets, the whole thing pops instantly if is ever used among the other common cars, is looking very intimidating, with that sound it definitely turn heads, the racing-style body with big wing and those massive rear wide Pirelli Zero.. is really Epic.
The year is 1989, Sega drops a game called “Test Drive II - The Dual” which features the F40 and the Porsche 959 - the rest is history! Now 31years later, Ferrari need another F40 moment!
It’s a functional work of art, a true Italian masterpiece.
No, a 57 Testa Rossa is and 330 P4
@@CaptainFALKEN ugh. Why.
So.
Serious!?
The car?
Or Leno!?
@@CaptainFALKEN not. Testa Rossa is a total different era and 330 is a prototype, can't compare with so called ''supercars'', only the Ferrari BB comes closer to this jewel. Not F50 Not Enzo not any Lambo. this is a F1 with a number plate on.
spiritual cramp what are you talking about, the F50 literally had an F1 engine
Congrats to the owner, this particular version of his Ferrari is amazing in all its details
im gonna say this might have been jays test drive to ownership.... ;P
Beautiful and well kept... Almost like showroom condition... With all the nooks and crannies, must be a big pain to get it the way we see it before he took it out... If I was the owner, Mud puddles and even water on the road would be like land mines to me.
Should have bought a Euro spec!!!
Those hideous US regulation adornments are vile!!!
No, a 330 P4 is
4 years later... great video. This was and still is one of THE most significant cars ever built, period!!! This car was all about the mechanics of driving, all driver and car, input and seat of the pants feel. Thanks for the driving experience Jay, ya dun good.
“Thanks for the gas” says one millionaire to another.
@Elliot Rodger Here I thought it was lobbying for tax breaks and sending their money off shores to overseas tax havens.
I think there was a reason why they didint add a Radio cuz the intention was part of a kind of Symphony of sound generated by both the engine and the turbos.
Thanks for the gas says an educate person to another educate person
@Elliot Rodger isn't legalizing slavery by credit?
@@manudinotodj *Educated
I love Jay Leno and David Lee collaboration. Love em. David Lee is a humble guy
I'm surprised Jay doesn't own one!
I don't think he owns any Ferraris at all.
Patrick94GSR really?? I wonder why?
@charlie M that is not true at all. the dude has spent close to 100 million on his car collection, some cars well over $1million. He doesn't want a ferrari because he doesn't like the way ferrari treats its customers
lol yeah his McLaren F1 is probably worth close to all 5 of those Ferrari's that they showed on last week's JLG episode.
But does it make it five times the car? I doubt it...
Who ever designed the F40 was decades ahead of the game. Even if 60 years go by, it will still look FRESH AF.
I get so much enjoyment from Jay’s videos. It’s worth tuning in just to hear the ‘mechanics’ of things, both old and new…
Some of you guys are despicable, someone takes thr to time to bring his car, film, edit and broadcast for you to watch it free of charge and you have the nerve to make negative comments? I am disgusted with your actions.
Bigchubby
Sorry Daddy 😥
first day on the internet?
first day or last day, doesn't matter, he's right...
Bigchubby I understand where you are coming from, but dude calm down it's the Internet........
Bigchubby Chaka Khan!
One of the most visceral episodes of Jay's Garage I've seen!
The only Ferrari I've ever cared for, and God damn she's still the most beautiful looking Ferrari EVER made 🤤😍🖤🔥
This is one of my favorites, my #1 favorite being the 330 p4
I notice Jay keeps both hands on the wheel with the F40 -says a lot!
I want to see Jay do a Porsche 959 video
Nobody cares about the beetle 959
lol watch your mouth ^
Fiat F40
Don't consider yourself a true car enthusiast when you say something like you just said
Lol the Porsche 959 was state of art it was amazing for its time. One of the big Porsches like the Carrera Gt or 918
Would you say it is visceral?
It does seem to have an adequate amount of visceralness to it, yes...
Scott Koenig Indubitably visceral.
Very cool and visceral
Yes,definitively very `coming from strong emotions and not from logic or reason`
Extremly `coming from strong emotions and not from logic or reason` when you really sit down and look at it.....
flyingmerkel6 Just like the 1988 Fiero GT.
I can’t believe how down to earth Jay Leno is, amazing
"They did better than I ever could", really underscores just how humble Jay is.
Did Jay mention if it's a very visceral experience to drive it?
Possibly. Wait, did this car have something to do with Enzo Ferrari?
It has no driver aids this car, did you know?
I must have missed that. He must have mumbled it somewhere.
liverush24 no driver aid mentioned at least 3 times
unfortunately these cars are worth too much money to drive.
David lee, won best spec on a car he didn't spec

can u not do this, get a life! look at things with another perspective
The first car magazine i ever bought had the F40 on the cover. I was only 8 years old at the time but i knew something was special about this car the instant i saw it on the cover of that 1989 issue of Road & Track. Been obsessed with cars ever since, lol. In my opinion the F40 ties the 1955 300 sl for the most beautiful car of all time.
My favorite Ferrari. God damn, that car is amazing!
Yes, from a great era of the F40 and Lamborghini Diablo.
New episode of Jay Leno's garage featuring AN F40! Sleep can wait...
He forgot to mention how visceral it was.
Jay Wigley 😂😂😂😂😂
New drinking game
He did! 13:20 and 13:37.
He first said 'Visceral' @6:00
If you need to be told that, you don't know what you're looking at in the first place.
Great video, both of these guys are super positive. Just terrific energy. Keep it up guys
Catching up on this JLG series. Great stuff. Entertaining, relaxing, and learning a lot about so many cars.
I really love how David Lee doesn't act like a no it all about his cars. really shows great character.
OMG the sound!! As good as it sounded on camera, I can only imagine what it sounded like standing beside it!
One of the best JLG episodes I’ve ever seen! Loved this car when it first came out, and I’m still in love!
Absolutely the best video! That hit all the senses.
Came for the car, stayed for the conversation. :-)
As a kid, I was 4 in 1990, my favorite Hot Wheels was the F40. Still beautiful to this day
The best looking car if all time. Hopefully I get to see one on the road one day
David Lee has some pretty impressive Ferraris in his Collection. Jay in another episode of JL'sG drove David's 275GTB 4 cam. Born in Hong Kong and son of Chinese Immigrants, he took his Father's Jewelry business to another Elite level and made him wealthy enough to be able to own 12+ million dollars worth of Ferraris. 26 yrs is an eternity in the Auto World when talking technology. Back in the 60's if your Car could reach 60mph in under 6 seconds, that was considered a muscle car. This F40 was something in the low 4 second range back in the 90's which now days is a turtle when compared to even the ZO6 Corvette which is in the high 2's with the 8 speed auto. I'm not a fan of Computerized Super Cars so the F40 is still really an old school Car. I'm sure now that Jay has driven his first F40 he will probably be looking for one to add to his massive Car Collection, Good Luck Jay...
I think Jay is warming up to the idea that his collection needs a Ferrari. An F40 would be a car that he could obtain. Expensive but not as rare as say a Ferrari 288 GTO which for me would be the ultimate Ferrari to own (other than the original GTO and Ferrari California from the 60s). David should make Jay drive the 288 GTO, I think Jay will love it.
959 was AWD

do the ferrari F50... there is not enough love for that car
The F50 is under appreciated. Jeremy Clarkson interviewed a rich Arab who said the F50 was his favorite supercar.
Because it isn't as good.... Nor as good looking.
There's a reason there's not even love for it: from a distance, its obviously easy to like the car, but owning and driving one makes it very hard to love it. Yes, it obviously performs extremely well, but its basically a street legal race car. As such, it is supremely uncomfortable. The car's ride is bumpy and harsh, the shifter and clutch are heavy (as one would expect of most supercars of the era) and because the engine is bolted directly to the car's structure, you obviously feel the engine vibrating the entire car and while a lot of people might like the sound of that at first, it wears thin quite quickly.
The F50, like the Countach for most people, is a classic case of never meet your heroes.
I think these videos are not about looks or consumer advise. I think a jay leno's garage video about that car would be very interesting.
alot of owners/reviewers actually prefer the F50 over the F40
Excellent. You both were friendly and entertaining to watch and listen to. Great stories, history and a great drive. I always loved this car. Thanks
Never get tired of looking at an F40, it does seem like the GOAT.
I love listening to people who are passionate about cars
Who needs radio in this car ??!! The sound comes from the engine !!
i still have this poster on my wall i bought at my elementary schools book fair. amazing car
There's a great segment on an old ep of Top Gear UK. Richard Hammond reviews the F40 side-by-side with the Porsche 959 and compares them both.
(Jeremy Clarkson calls the F40... "Possibly the greatest car of all time")
David Lee seems like a really cool dude, I like that he asked Jay about what he was doing in 1990 and just seemed chill with Jay and the show.
This was the epitome of a supercar when I was a child and it still is today. Best car ever made.
I'm watching this twice. Outstanding. Mission accomplished Jay.
And I'll add you were a great replacement for Johnny. Easily my favorite segment here.
Thanks to Jay as always and David Lee for sharing his cars.
It's amazing. Jay drives with one hand resting on the gearshift and the other holding the roof up. Doesn't matter if he's in a '57 Bel Air or an F40.
Salomondrin called that outfit perfectly!
fanimej what episode?
El planeta esta lleno de imbeciles. Why the hate bro? Relax.
Its called like "the ferrari day" or something like that.. He dresses up like a typical ferrari owner.
fanimej Ohhhhh, now I get it aha
Absolutely beautiful, as all Ferraris are! I was very fortunate to have been able to drive two of my boss's Ferraris to the dealership in Chicago for warranty service many years ago. On one of the trips the dealer had both a F40 and F50 in the shop for service. What a treat to have been able to get a close look at these two classics!! Thanks for the memories Jay and Dave!
i saw an F40 in a fuel garage in the UK about 15 years ago. i was on a yamaha R6. i started chatting to the guy and he showed me around the car. he was keen on his bikes too. as we were leaving he said ' i guess we should see what's faster' it was pretty tight up to 160mph (we were 2x up on the bike). i remember it just sucking up the autumn leaves from the road and spitting them out back, it was just a glorious sight to see. he turned off and gave us a wave as he left the dual carriage way.
This car is a true statement to supercars.
Absolutely intoxicating.
I admire it deeply.
