Thanks for this mesmerizing Lusso video. I have never seen a camera shot showing how the hood looks driving ahead. It makes me feel like I'm there. This car is so delicate looking even though you know it's tough. I have loved this car since I was a teenager many moons ago.
If I had the money, I would have bought a Lusso when they were a fraction of what they are now, but alas, they were too expensive for me even then! Luckily, I can care for a couple of them that my clients own and drive them on occasion! Thanks for watching!
@@tomyangnet That would have been if Enzo Ferrari had installed an overdrive to this gorgeous car, an angry V12 doesn't suit it very much in my opinion.
@@marcusbonello3106 I never understood the logic of not installing an Overdrive on these cars, especially since the PF Coupe that preceded it had an overdrive and the successor, the GTC had a 5 speed gearbox.
Agree it is a gorgeous car. Since Ferrari was not into mass production is the body work hand formed? I always liked the look of the what I call deep dish wire wheels. They give the car a powerful look, which this car can back up.
Even though this car was designed by Pininfarina, it was built by Scaglieti and like most coach builders in Italy back then, the panels were largely hand built. I’m sure they had bucks and templates, but when it came time to putting them on the car, they were still hand formed, gas welded and hammered into shape!
Love that sound. Amazing how similar it sounds to the GTC. I mean not that amazing. The engines are very similar. I always loved the Lusso too, but my favorite is the SWB. I’ll never forget the day I fist layer eyes on one in Ridgefield at Francois’s. I think I was maybe 7. I can still see that car in my mind.
A SWB at Francois' was what got me hooked in the first place about 25 years ago. It was a Dark Blue one Wayne Carini painted before he became a TV star!
@@tomyangnet Wayne also painted my car. At his first shop in Glastonbury. I remember going up there to see it with my Dad. I have pictures of it in bare metal all the the way through primer and paint.
It's something you don't see much anymore. It's called an ashtray. Before we found out it was bad for our health, people used to smoke cigarettes everywhere, even when driving!... But seriously, can you imagine smoking in a 7 figure car and having the stray ember burn holes in your leather interior?
@@tomyangnet Decades ago I saw a (then) new Testarossa on the paddock of a race track and the interior was covered in cigarette ash. It was shocking to me how little the owner cared about a car that in my mind was an absolute dream car that deserved much better care.
@Tom, have read in the past that the Lusso is under geared compared to something like the GTE or the PF Coupe, which has an overdrive. Thoughts? Thanks!
The one downside to a Lusso is it’s lack of overdrive. Some owners have installed a GTE transmission to solve this problem. The SWB has the same issue.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbot" in German. :-///
There's a organic sculptural look that Vintage Ferraris have from that era that I love. The modern cars have a technical, functional look that appeals to a different aesthetic. Thanks for agreeing with me!
One of the most beautiful Ferraris ever, but, -please, please, please, just let the car do the talking: don't talk, going on and on about this or that. Talking over the sound of the V-12 is a crime.

Definitely one of the most beautiful cars from Ferrari - a sleek yet elegant design that is full of subtleties, as you point out - rolling sculpture.
I know it’s a 7 figure car, but have always wondered why it’s always a fraction of the cost of a SWB.
I understand the SWB has the race heritage and led to the GTO, but the Lusso is so much more elegant. A true sixties Grand Tourer.
Considering the price differential, I think the Lusso is the relative bargain!
Living the dream with the most beautifull ferrari ever, awesome video, thanks for sharing your views !
It’s always fun to share these cars virtually with people on UA-cam. Thanks for watching!
Oh boy, the chills I was getting even when you were going around the parking lot. There’s so much soul to this car. Absolutely beautiful machine.
The Lusso remains one of my favorite Ferraris. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful car.
I sometime say these are Achingly beautiful!

Bellissima! Magnifica! Superlativa!
Stupenda! 🇮🇹😍😍😍🇮🇹
Thanks for watching!
@@tomyangnet thank you for this amazing video man 👍👍
Una delle più belle Ferrari in assoluto
Thanks for sharing. Great car.

@@tomyangnet that was the same car. It was the most beautiful blue I have ever seen! Small world.

@@alexmurray4641 Francois liked the color so much he had Wayne paint his F250 the same color back then!
Got a love the lines of a Lusso. Tomy what is that metal box in front of the shifter at 7:30?

when I was a kid I liked the Lusso, but later started to find the SWB better looking.
There’s a big price difference between the Lusso and the SWB!
If i had a spare million buck to burn on a 250 Lusso then the one id get would be the competizione! Might as well 😉
you'd need more than one spare million bucks, but we can all dream! Thanks for watching!

If all this comes to reality, I will be making the most of my ICE cars while I still can! Who wants to go for a drive?
