That follow-up question about the reinforced FXX-K roof being different to LaFerrari shows genuine interest. Together with your past experience driving these cars, it makes for a great content!
What an awesome series Ben, with Filippo Petrucci, who was incredible with all the information! Mad respect to Ferrari for having this program to drive these cars instead of putting them in a museum to collect dust.
As Italian, how can you not be proud of the level of passion & craftsmanship shown by everybody working at Ferrari? Stunning work guys, keep holding the Italian flag high!
Ben, that was one of the most informative videos that I have seen in a long time. Filippo appears to be someone that you could talk with for hours and never get bored. More like this please.
These is where you understand why Ferrari is FERRARI. No other names have the history, pedigree, heritage, level of dedication and passion. Since 1939 till this day. Even just trough the video you can smell the blood of racing and hear these machines screaming in your head. Just look at the people working on these machines. All of them have and are involved in world top class racing in many, many racing categories. By far the best garage tour iv seen in my life. Just look at 19:24 classic modern f1 masterpiece cars being worked on. Pieces of art that obviously still rip some asphalt from time to time just waw. Thank you Ben for giving such a complete and amazing look at (probably) the most significant and memorable car brand in the world. Abolute legend, you and Ferrari. As simply said at 6:30. Ben: "Insanity is baked into it?!" Chief mechanic: "YESS"
As someone who is into motorsport and also works on a significant amount of sport oriented vehicles, this is one of the most in depth, behind the scenes, eye opening documentaries I have ever seen. Thank you Ben
I had the privilege to be in the area a few months ago. I got to see so much, but still my imagination ran wild trying to comprehend all the history and cool stuff that must be going on in all of the buildings that an average Joe like me can’t get access to. Thank you Ferrari and your team to bring us this inside look. Super awesome! 👏 👍
Ben, I'm a Ferrari nut (and owner) and these two behind the scenes videos are probably my two favourite of anything I've ever seen on UA-cam - please don't mention that to Matt or Freddie when you see them next! Thanks, Rob.
Me and my wife spent a few hours in that building it was incredible. The whole facility is incredible. Very lucky to get a rare factory tour without being a serial Ferrari buyer.
Thank you so much Ben awesome follow up! Being at the ferrari factory as a kid with my dad seeing only a little part and wondering what goes on behind the scenes is amazing thanks for these 2videos!
Thank you Ben. Another great video where you took us into another great garage. If wasnt for you us common people would never see these amazing garages, collection and cars shown in your videos. Cant wait for the next one Hello from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Crackin’ video Ben, really enjoyed it. It was not your a-typical video about Ferrari. Great questions and some fantastic insight into how the FXX program works. Can’t wait to see them do some magic on my favourite Ferrari, 288GTO. Now that would be class…😎
3:14 That #44 499P is soo pretty, I just realized that the owner is the same owner from Dallas Texas as #44 FXX-K which I have as a die cast model. The colors always reminded me of the Lotus Black and Gold livery. The Lewis Hamilton connection is just so fortuitous 😊😊
Small error in an otherwise beautiful explanation of the fxx program. The USA Challenge schedule for 2025 has been posted. It opens on February 25 - 26 at Laguna Seca. Quite often the FXX program shares the weekend with the Challenge. The Challenge races are open to the public.
Ben awesome video, great that you can give us access to a car collection like this and show us inside stories behind Ferrari cars, now we need you driving some of these beauties 😊😂❤❤ Keep it up with great work 😊
Love to see the Danish flag on the wing of that blue beauty, pretty sure its owned by the Danish Ferrari importer who also sponored Nielsen´s Challenge program. A driver who later won Le Mans for Ferrari. Great video, love the passion!
Nicklas Nielsen is a unique talent, and a great guy to sit and talk with. The owner of my dealer is the man who started him in the Challenge after spotting his talent in Karts. Not many will progress from Challenge to a top Le Mans team.
😍🤩😎 Check out all that eye candy!!! ❤😋🤤 They are all just so gorgeous to look at!!! That is pretty cool that they can rebuild their cars by manufacturing old parts! Love it! They really love their cars and car culture and it shows. I don’t believe any other car brand comes close to Ferrari’s level of passion. 🏎️ Thanks for this video! Really enjoyed it!!! 🙏🥰🫶
I was only driving a 599XX Evo at Spa yesterday. Quick as a GT3 race car. Was looking for reviews and then this pops up.. Fantastic. If I had the money, I'd take the naked carbon! Just about to fire Assetto Corsa up for another lap 🙂
That front electrical drive train, just a tip, try setting the computer up to lode up the front system to drive out of low speed corners 60/40 grip then have the computer flip the drive to rear wheel in a straight line and so on . 50/50 mid apex etc. Link the G meter and fly by wire steering censor to the power split computer algorithm.
I hoped they could arrange for you a few laps at Fiorano with an xx car knowing how good of a driver you are. I noticed you kind of suggested it, but he was quick to add that you could buy one and then they would assist you on the track.
I was really hoping 812 will go out with a bang like 599, i. Form of 812xx or xx evo, and not some sf90 xx, i like sf90 a fiorano, but the xx is not enough "ex-exy"...
I reckon that when Filippo went back in the room, he found each car had Ben's business card under the wiper and 'Call me!' hand written on the back... 😁
Always wondered how they came up with the FXX program. Didn't know they sold their winning cars, so it makes sense they'd start a program for people who wanted to learn to drive them.

ben, just tell us, are you going to be a host on the new grand tour? i hope so, because for years we never knew you you were, and then these days i told my mate how good you are on camera after watching you drive the ferrari on drivetribe at 170 scaring the life out mike ha ha, i would love you to get it
The Ferrari passion is unmatched. All those people working in the Maranello factory live and breathe Ferrari. Love it!
Yes indeed!
That follow-up question about the reinforced FXX-K roof being different to LaFerrari shows genuine interest. Together with your past experience driving these cars, it makes for a great content!
Wow, Ben is opening some pretty impressive doors!
He has been on the podium at Le Mans. That's quite impressive too.
BIG one is creaking open ... tomorrow ... hopefully...
@@BenCollinsDrivesQualityyyyy 🌪️💨🙏🏽
I think he's just letting us see through his door
He's the friggin stig
What an awesome series Ben, with Filippo Petrucci, who was incredible with all the information!
Mad respect to Ferrari for having this program to drive these cars instead of putting them in a museum to collect dust.
top bloke - he was at the centre of the Michael Schumacher universe

Brilliant as usual. So informative, great filming and no BS
Much appreciated!
Another extraordinary inside look at some of the most superb vehicles. Great work, Ben.
Many thanks!

What a pity F80 is fugly as hell
@Tom-je4iq If you say so. You do you.
wow ferrari being not only able but willing to fix any ferrari is absolutely amazing
Agreed,. but I guarantee the client paid for that work through their teeth
As someone who is into motorsport and also works on a significant amount of sport oriented vehicles, this is one of the most in depth, behind the scenes, eye opening documentaries I have ever seen.
Thank you Ben
Michael Schumacher on Top Gear - talk about feels right there. Damn, I really miss those good old times... 🤘

thank you and means a lot - of course I will tell them..!!
What a collection of cars.
The si si guy is back! I was looking forward to this second video and it didn't disappoint.
Me and my wife spent a few hours in that building it was incredible. The whole facility is incredible. Very lucky to get a rare factory tour without being a serial Ferrari buyer.
I was a flag Marshall at Daytona when they had the Ferrari fx cars running. So good to see and hear them up close
Thank you so much Ben awesome follow up! Being at the ferrari factory as a kid with my dad seeing only a little part and wondering what goes on behind the scenes is amazing thanks for these 2videos!
2 Classy people, having a classy and fun conversation. Love it.
Great video Ben. Ferrari sure know how to build high performance cars, whether for road use, track work or competitive racing.
Thank you Ben. Another great video where you took us into another great garage. If wasnt for you us common people would never see these amazing garages, collection and cars shown in your videos. Cant wait for the next one
Hello from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Glad you enjoyed it

FXXK EVO is my fav. It sounds so good and looks amazing.
This was very cool.
What an exclusive piece of content! Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great follow up video,brilliant cars…minimum questions but maximum answers, nice result, thanks Ben🎉. Please keep the episodes coming along.
More to come!
Thank you for sharing this access, and thank you to Ferrari for allowing you to share it.
Thank you too!
Wow. Loved every minute of these 2 videos. So cool and I’m now quite jealous.
That full carbon 499P is BEAUTIFUL!
I’m not too into cars but this was a pretty interesting way to spend a half hour
Great stuff Ben! Forza Ferrari!
3:14 That #44 499P is soo pretty, I just realized that the owner is the same owner from Dallas Texas as #44 FXX-K which I have as a die cast model. The colors always reminded me of the Lotus Black and Gold livery. The Lewis Hamilton connection is just so fortuitous 😊😊
Omg mind blown
I love how they manufacture everything! So freaking cool.
The 599 and the Enzo are stunning in their racing version.
Absolutely amazing access and insight. The stuff of dreams, Ferrari is some brand... the passion is like nothing else.
Absolutely fantastic video, really enjoyed the 2 with Ferrari 😊
Thank you! 👍
Great video you cant beat a Ferrari history lesson 🏎
Absolutely
Dead pan Ben, yer man says @5:23 "it has 150 horsepower". The slowest Ferrari ever made.
glad I wasn't the only one who heard that.

Found the comment smh. Was buried too. I’m sure he meant 1,050😕
Was hoping they'd talk about that 599XX Evo. What a car!
Is that the one that came out in 2009? There was a special around that time that was really bad.. might have been that one
Thanks Ben. Your videos are high level.
Glad you like them!
seeing the workshop 😍😍😍
Unprecedented access for the one lap OG. Excellent videos 😊
Thanks! 👍
Brilliant video as always Ben. Asking all the right questions and with the enthusiasm as a petrolhead. Superb.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Heaven
Very good . Informative and well made. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
8:55
Ben: another i need to chek.... Filippo Petrucci: please. Used like "prego". so cool 😂😂
Another great video Ben, thanks. It's interesting that Ferrari are already familiar with active aero, given the 2026 F1 Regs. :)
Ben awesome video, great that you can give us access to a car collection like this and show us inside stories behind Ferrari cars, now we need you driving some of these beauties 😊😂❤❤
Keep it up with great work 😊
Thanks! Will do!
Love to see the Danish flag on the wing of that blue beauty, pretty sure its owned by the Danish Ferrari importer who also sponored Nielsen´s Challenge program. A driver who later won Le Mans for Ferrari. Great video, love the passion!
Ben can open doors that no other petrolhead can. Amazing view into Ferrari cars that we haven’t heard before
FXX K- EVO downshifts = 😍
Great job Ben! Love watching your videos...
Glad you like them!
Dream machines!!
Imagine a 333SP, 330P4 and a few other historic race cars in the mix!
love to take the 333 out for a run - raced against them but never in one - epic ,machine
Great Video. Love the behind the scenes.
Brilliant insight, never seen footage from inside the workshop before.
My Fav is the FXX from 06 in red , looks brutal.
Nicklas Nielsen is a unique talent, and a great guy to sit and talk with. The owner of my dealer is the man who started him in the Challenge after spotting his talent in Karts. Not many will progress from Challenge to a top Le Mans team.
Great video. Filippo great as usual
Glad you enjoyed it
😍🤩😎 Check out all that eye candy!!! ❤😋🤤 They are all just so gorgeous to look at!!!
That is pretty cool that they can rebuild their cars by manufacturing old parts! Love it! They really love their cars and car culture and it shows. I don’t believe any other car brand comes close to Ferrari’s level of passion. 🏎️
Thanks for this video! Really enjoyed it!!! 🙏🥰🫶
Thank you 🤗
499 looks so good in bare carbon ❤
I was only driving a 599XX Evo at Spa yesterday. Quick as a GT3 race car. Was looking for reviews and then this pops up.. Fantastic. If I had the money, I'd take the naked carbon!

There is nothing like Ferrari
That facility and it's ppl and the cars it has are the best of the best. Even the lifts are red, I'm so painting my lift red 😂.
Couldn't agree more!
I hoped they could arrange for you a few laps at Fiorano with an xx car knowing how good of a driver you are. I noticed you kind of suggested it, but he was quick to add that you could buy one and then they would assist you on the track.
I love the front engine gto cars 599's 288's 👍🏻
5:09 What... 150HP WOW, that´s a LOT! :)
maybe 1150 but he says seperated
Yes he missed a 0,its 1,050hp.
I enjoyed this episode of Ben Collins Walks
Subbed.. Amazing content
Welcome aboard!
Track only, 2 mins later " Is it road legal " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing content thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
the edit on this was brazy. content on a different level!
Wow, what a toy store. This is great stuff. What if we wouldn’t have Ferrari?
I was really hoping 812 will go out with a bang like 599, i. Form of 812xx or xx evo, and not some sf90 xx, i like sf90 a fiorano, but the xx is not enough "ex-exy"...
9:55 So what car is behind the red cover???
I reckon that when Filippo went back in the room, he found each car had Ben's business card under the wiper and 'Call me!' hand written on the back... 😁
21:11 oh look flying cars, there is still hope
I would definitely drive an FXX on the road here in America...
I can't begin to comprehend the costs of owning and running a 499! Some obscenely wealthy people in this world.
Always wondered how they came up with the FXX program. Didn't know they sold their winning cars, so it makes sense they'd start a program for people who wanted to learn to drive them. You should check out their driver training program and see if you can still keep up with the young kids. I know they train almost as hard as Olympians.
ben, just tell us, are you going to be a host on the new grand tour? i hope so, because for years we never knew you you were, and then these days i told my mate how good you are on camera after watching you drive the ferrari on drivetribe at 170 scaring the life out mike ha ha, i would love you to get it
No I'll keep working here - but thank you for the vote of confidence!
@@BenCollinsDrives cheers mr Ex Stig!!!
ty
Awesome :D
Thanks! 😄
Wish, the FXX program strated already on F50 or even F40
lol I have met the owner of the Ferrari 499P Modificata number 44, owned by John taylor. He’s an amazing guy
DREAMS
Whats the song at the start of the video???
So you are inside the Ferrari F1 factory 😁. There are some real beauties inside, I know 😊🤫
Nice vídeo
Fella @16:15 had work to do, 😂 !
I know that Sartre has changed, but these hypercars are way slower than in the early 90's?
Ben's a kid in a candy store here.
Is the 1970 car he mentions the Modulo? I’d like to see an SP3 Daytona XX….
5:23 "it has 150 horsepower'' :)) Ben was sleeping
can we expect Ben Collins drive f50 GT1??
the jawline of Schumacher is faster than those hybrids and electrics
Nice cars racing
