Ferrari F12 in pearl white is just a thing of beauty
The 458 Speciale in Pearl White looks stunning, too.
White looks great on cars with subtle curves i find. It will work on just about anything but personally anything since the late 80's until this day will look good in white. Problem is Pearl White like this requires extra work because it gets visibly and rather disgustingly dirty very quick. Depending on driving style too.
The quintessential grand touring car. What a remarkable machine.
+laxmitty21 lol
I was delighted at your choice of words.
It's sad that 99% of car lovers will never experience any car valued over $100,000.
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials It's not that hard, you put on a nice suit and go to the dealership and pretend you are considering buying one.
Shoot, my local Chevy dealer wouldn't let me test drive a new C7 corvette...and I actually wanted to buy one!
Maybe invest in a nicer suit? ☺oh and don't turn up in a corolla...
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials u r wrong my friend might wanna reduce that percentage lol
Justin R. wow my Jaguar dealership has offered to let my dad drive their F Types multiple times.
The F12 berlinetta is just so beautiful and amazing in every way! It's an absolutely exquisite masterpiece. One of my most favorite Ferraris of all-time for sure. A perfect dream machine.
Rear end of this car in white during a sunset....magic.
Amazing, my favourite ferrari by far; a monster when you deactivate traction control
Yeah because if the traction is turned ON it only has 150 hp, or what ?
Nik Brudar I might not have made myself clear; i ment, that when the TCS is turned off, then it's unforgiving, it punishes you at every turn with a powerslide or a burnout everytime you accelerate from a green light.
I've spoken with two salesman who have driven the F12, and they told me that it's very hard to control this much power without having a computer aid.
I didn't say it as a judgement on the speed, performance, power but rather the driving experience.
Dominik Vereno Well said, most people on the internet nowadays only care about the spec sheet numbers while ignoring the actual joy of driving the car. Can't blame them though, most of us won't see these kinds of cars on the road let alone be able to afford them.
Beef Broth you are right! Cars like the Subaru BRZ don't sound that cool on paper, but I had more fun driving it than I had driving an Audi R8, which is vastly more powerful, and obviously faster.
Dominik Vereno When you drive a car like an R8 you can't use most of it's power unless you're on a track, while with a BRZ or a Miata you can put everything down at an interstate ramp or a randoom backroad on your way home, which in a sense, makes underpowered cars alot more usable and fun when it comes to just driving.
My favorite Ferrari. Beautiful video guys.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the video itself? The car is a work of art itself and this video does justice to it. One of the most perfect videos to ever be uploaded on this channel. Keep it up ***** . Amazing video.
This channel has just the most awesome array of videos. Each one I see on subscriptions I want to watch instantly. Great channel, great host
Some day bois, some day...
RoisinT2 all the best
Keep dreaming
Yo it's been 4 years how you doing now?
@@cornhole9165 Still a few bucks short..
Though w12 Audi i have but..
@@RoisinT2and... ;)
We get the feeling Alex had trouble giving this car back. Can't blame him. And the Prius commentary was inspired. Great work, gents!
For are we or 4.R.E. (?)
Yeah I know, "Ferrari".
Am I the only who prefers this over an aventador
No hate the aventador overpriced crap that's why the F12 walked on it! Ha
Nope , this car is by far better.
You dont get the felling of a lambo in a Ferrari nor the felling of a ferrari in a lambo these two are different
But ill always go for lambo
+MclovinMclove Nope, not at all. I'd take the F12 over that pos lambo anyday.
***** gimme a high 5 Ferrari 4 life!
Finally reviewed my favorite Ferrari! Awesome video as usual!
***** Never heard such amazing sound from a car inside the cabin. Purely amazing. Thank you Ferrari and thank you x-car for providing that!
Definitely! Since you've witnessed the sound of this car in person, is it louder than the Aventador?
***** would you say this is better then the Aventador Roadster? i would.
Might be my favorite car... Ever
Junior Valentin this and the BMW i8 holy fuck
mate I hope that was a typo and u actually meant BMW M4
This video is a piece of art! One of the best car reviews I've ever seen.
***** Great, thanks!
+ChrisHallett83 bezor Ta This is what I meant by a good reviewer/commentator. Such passion.
Max Lindner Agree. Gorgeous cinematography...
I've seen many of your videos, but this one is the only one that made me feel truly jealous. That gorgeous machine is a beautiful pìece of engineering, and a true contemporary masterpiece. Which should be in my driveway. Great film as always, Alex and XCar team.
this video should be nominated for the oscars! simply amazing.. i've seen this video 35 times already lol
+XCARFilms I watched it just 5-6 times lol
Brilliant car, awesome filming and editing, perfect video.
Awesome cars, cameras, scenes, landscapes, narrators. A great channel.
Ferrari and Lamborghini should stick to to naturally aspirated. It is understandable that they want to make some cars like LaFerrari to prove that they have the technology but like in Formula 1, fans miss a lot the V8,V10 and V12's.
I guess the problem is that emission regulations say NO ...
thee Mitchi The bigger problem is that the fans don't make much money for the company. So you can demand all you like, but you won't get far.
Not denying that, it's true.
thee Mitchi I don't think it's the emissions that is the biggest problem but the competition that just keeps adding bigger turbos or superchargers to their engines to get more power and being faster than Ferrari's with NA engines. Mclaren and Corvette are 2 clear examples of this problem. While Ferrari via high level engineering gets 600 hp from their 4,5L NA engine in Speciale, all the others have to do is add bigger turbos and voila, they are faster. You can go so far with engineering until it becomes too expensive when competition can add more power much cheaper.
For the sake of the environment, frankly, that will never be.
7 years after watching this review for the 1st time, I purchased an FF in this exact colour
Ive olny seen 2 videos and im already in love with this channel, this is like a premium petrolheads channel .. thankk you so much!!
Alex is such a joy to watch and listen to. His passion is genuine and he never comes off as a full of himself. Wish to see him in many more videos for years to come
I really like this review guy. He's so charismatic. So good! Subscribed to the channel just because of how he delivers. Beautiful. Incredible. Just Perfect.
Beautiful shots, boys. Great job!
way underrated Ferrari
Such a great review about an amazing car. You guys make the best car reviews on youtube. Thanks
This channel rocks.
so far the best youtube car channel I've come across, more informative then car throttle at least and camerawork on par with /drive
best review of F12 and i've seen them all
i love this Ferrari...the most beautifull
fauzi hassan Agreed. No wrong angle, magic curves. In person it is jaw dropping.
Antoine Marty Is it??
fauzi hassan This fat piece of computer designed Ferrari looks the most beautiful to you lmfao... Oh gosh. Anyway, on the 599 GTB the headlights alone look better than the whole f12berlinetta.
princeworm Oh you poor jaded hipster. I think of this generation of Ferrari it is the most beautiful. However out of all ferrari of course this one is not the most striking, 250 GT Berlinetta SWB comes to mind, and of course the 288 gto.
Antoine Marty How am I a hipster? Of this generation certainly not since the 458 was definitely more gorgeous looking and the 488 looks even better. The 288 gto is a beautiful Ferrari??? Great performer but honestly is that a beautiful design? The 250 GT Berlinetta SWB looks nice but nowhere near as beautiful as the 250 GTO or other 250 GTO variants or the Lusso or the California and the list goes on. Look up the Superleggera Berlinetta Lusso that is basically a f12berlinetta but with a different coachbuilt body.
The ending was beautiful.
In the LaFerrari the V12 is still naturally aspirated. The car is motivated by a naturally aspirated engine PLUS electric motors. So no, this is not the last naturally aspirated V12 in a Ferrari.
Jeffrey Hazan Well, at least it's basically the same engine, it's just a revised version in the LaFerrari. But you're right
Jason Electric is pure power, a gas engine's power delivery is really staggered and jagged. As opposed to the incredible smooth, unrelenting power of an electric motor. And the best part of it is you can make an electric motor as powerful as you want to. Right now there is a British racing company who have a 4000 nm electric racecar. Chris Harris did a review on it.
CockatooDude only issue with electricity is the range it seems. I'm all for hybrids but straight electric cars seem to just lose the soul a big v8 or v12 have. Along with the exhaust.... I think that makes up for the difference in power delivery :)
Isaiah Ebben Wait 5-10 years and graphene sheet batteries will make electric cars be able to cross the USA on one charge, I swear it.
The issue of electricity is that it's basically an automatic car that you can't even control the gears of. Doesn't sound like fun to me.
I can confirm now, in 2018, that it wasn't the last of the NA Ferrari V12 :D
Say hello to the 812 Superfast!
Those last shots with the sun setting gave the video that hue of 60’s 70’s films, gave me nostalgia. Very nice shots. Thank you for that.
I think I'm in love.
With the host?
lol, the focus of the vieo is the car. lol im either over specific or deeply lacking in elaborating... just never seem to get it right. No i'm in love with the car. hope no further explanaition is req
5 Years later and I still can't get enough of this love letter to Ferrari V12s. Man why can't be every Carvideo this awesome?
This host is great ::)
Beautiful F12 but also great video guys! I found myself stopping it and going back a few seconds just to see those beautiful shots again.
Brilliant review. Masterpiece. Both car and review. Congratulations guys!
This is by far....my most favorite car video of all time. Alex if I had the money I would make sure that you had one of these, for you to call your own. I think this is the Mona Lisa of cars. Its just perfect and so was the video. Amazing...to see someone so happy. Keep going Alex...
Usually I'm pretty indifferent to Ferraris. They're great cars, but usually I'd rather have something a bit more unusual myself. I love the F12 though. It's gorgeous and fantastic. One of the best GT cars out there right now. Probably the best looking Ferrari in a very long time too.
Great video too. Those shots with the sunset were brilliant.
While I never had a great thing for Ferrari, this vehicle is more than stunning. The front-sideish view never ceases to amaze me... Additionally you made a work of art with this video. The location and light quality are extraordinary. Thank you very much!
This and the LFA, all I want, nothing else.
Aside from the videography, the composition and the tone of your voice, the is the closest a non-TV-show review that the Internet can get to Top Gear's reviews. Excellent work Alex and XCAR!
The looks... omfg... this is pure beauty
The Ferrari 6.5l V12 NA is my favourite engine.
Epic sound
I've always loved Porsche, and German cars in general. I'd love to own every Porsche out there. I've always loved the (relatively) subtle styling and the sensible engineering , but there is something about this car that just calls to me. I can't even explain it.
Are there any chances you could upload the high-resolution thumbnail of this video to dropbox and share the link with your community?
The picture is very beautiful and I'm sure that there are followers - including me - who would love to have this as their background picture.
Just notify me please when you made the decision.
Thank you in advance
Fabian
PS: It doesn't matter if you cut out your logo, I like both versions of the picture and thank you for putting out awesome content every week!
The F430 was a massive surprise for me. I had an RV10 Plus and atepped into the 430 and it was so much fun! Yeah it was a high mileage one with a lot of wear but it was so chuckable and 100% exploitable it was amazing fun
Oh man, that sound of the Ferrari V12 !!
I would literally die for a 599 gto review from Alex and the xcar team I hope I'll get a surprise in the future.... Keep rocking!
***** cheers
I love older Ferraris always have since I was little going to Ferrari club meets with my Dad in the 80s. But must say If I had the cash I would have this over a Daytona.
Sim o The Daytona is a glorious car though... if they could skin a Daytona over the F12, I think that might possibly be the best Ferrari ever xD
The sound of this car is so good and so inspiring that in new years evening one full mad at a straight street very close to home and 2 accidents happened during and seconds after the f12 passed, people just got mad (in the good sense) and start to giving their poor diesels beans and destruction they got, this is a true story of the first time I saw one passing wot. What an amazing car.
I don't like ferraris in general.. But I love this car
same here I've never been a Ferrari fan but I fell in love with this and the TDF as soon as I saw them.
Wicked review! Recently fallen in love with the F12 and just so happened to be browsing youtube today. Thanks for making that love a little bit greater for this car!
Am I the only one who noticed how Alex suddenly stopped the F12 at the very end in the middle of the road? As if it was to signify the end of the front engine rwd, naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris.
I think it was to signify that the end is getting near. But still has quite some time until then. Thats why i think they cut it about half way before it was out of view or just miniscule.
Had one of these overtake me last year on the way back from Holt in Norfolk. Very impressive!
Great show. Very well presented. And oh yeah...... THE KICK ASS F12!! 👍👊💪
I've watched a ton of reviews and videos of the F12, and even after years of it´s launch your video was worth watching all the way, congratulations guys!
Awesome review :) I enjoyed the South Park reference as well
How are you and your team not winning awards for this channel? Grade A production! Well done! Stunning Ferrari!
Can't wait for the F12 Speciale!!!!
+Daniel Agha Haha the F12 Speciale is called the F12 TDF
+Daniel Agha And its an absolute animal.
+Daniel Agha wtf u talking to urself
everything evry day F12 (for life )2019 had a ride 🤎💝can’t wait to be blessed more 2020 🐎
This car is mine if I can find a bank to amortize it over 50 years! Best car of all-time, IMO.
james lachs $7500 for a tune up
The beauty of your filming and editing combined with such enthusiasm really is an utter fun to watch. Well done!
This is why I love Ferrari
One word- Awesome. You guys are exceptionally talented.
Ferrari - It's not only a car to me, it's the car I grow to have attached to my heart.
It's a religon!
Alex Goy, thank you! You have the easiest english I have never heard, and It is something to be welcomed, thank you very much from Spain ;)
One of my dream car Love it
Great job with the video, love the editing and music. Thank you for taking the time for us to live through these moments you experience.
Who would pick this over a 458?
Me, because I could drive it every day and comfortably across Europe with room for luggage.
Me
+CarsGamerITA Who wouldn't?
The 458 is probably the best Ferrari in my opinion, however I’d choose this. This you can drive every day. Beautiful!
458 is the only Ferrari I've driven and I fell in love with it but still this!
You guys put out such damn good content. From Alex to the editing, camerawork and the music choices. Why I go on UA-cam daily. Cheers gents.
I truly love this car. I need one in my life
+SupercarsOfTheWorld Me too.
like a warm summer breeze this ferrari will forever remain like a breath of fresh air
And people wonder why the F12 is my motivation to be successful
Wonderful review. Keep them coming XCar. Love your take on all things automotive exotica.
hate to say this Alex, but I completely disagree with you on this one. My friend dailies a 599 gtb (paddle shift) and that engine is not smooth. No, I'm not confusing the engine with the transmission. Maybe it is just the exhaust note, but the V12's of recent have been raspy. They all have unequal length headers which, when silenced, sound fine. The enzo and original 599 sounded great, not F50 like, but pretty good for a large v12. Then beginning with the 599 gto, they all received these filthy, vulgar sounding exhaust systems which really didn't suit the nature of the cars. Equal length headers were the way to go (what are on the Zonda, Murcielago, ECT.). That is why I will always revere the 575 as the last, true, smooth V12 Ferrari. If I wanted a straight-piped 350Z or V6 F-type, I'd buy one of those rattle cans. In a V12 Ferrari, however, I wanted smoothness, not rasp and excitement.
also, I feel like modern v12 Ferraris suffer from role confusion worse than just about any car in production. Is it a grand tourer or an all out supercar because I get conflicting signals. In the past, it was a lap time be damned, all out high-speed cruiser and that gave it a purpose. In the late 90's, the 550 was only 5mph off of the F50 in terms of top speed (199 vs 204) and the intended roles of both cars were clear. The F12 is just a bit too much. It needs more traction, a softer suspension, and a manual option (even if it were just a few like the 599).
with the 488 gtb, I'm really starting to question if the prancing stallion really knows any of its customers. The Aventador is stupid as everything, but because it is intentionally all-out, ostentatious stupidity at its finest, I'm sure that it'll both sell incredibly well as it already has.
The cinematography is remarkable. Kudos!
ONE DAY!!!!......probably not but I can dream
You can do it buddy I plan on buying a 16 or 17 in a year or 2 see you at the finish line.
You can do it
The Vaquish is definetly my dream car
isn't this guy harry potter , he should make videos on broomsticks
I love the way you shoot videos, the b roll is always so amazing and the reviews so heart felt, it’s like watching a mini movie! 👍
I think I might be the only but I really really dislike the rear end of the F12..and LaFerrari
lol, they give me a giant boner every single time.
Marmik K I prefer the LaFerrari's rear end; IMO the F12's rear could be more elegant
Zhi Han Lee DimensiiioN I just don't like the big circular rear lights, looks ugly IMO. Prefer something like the 360 challenge stradale rear or F50... you get the idea.
Awesome review yet again. Pretty much a prefect spec on that F12 as well, absolutely gorgeous from evey angle.. and that sound, man that sound. I'm close to happy tears every time I hear it.
I'm buying a lottery ticket right now...
Best XCAR film ever! The same goes to the F12!
On Mondays I usually drive my marine blue awesome Jaguar Type-F. Tuesday I switch to my beloved metallic black Aston M. Wednesday, mid of the week, I do enjoy driving my snow white BMW M6 to work. Thursday I push the pedal to the metal in my AWD silver gray GTR. On Friday my charcoal gray 918 porsche spider is a trusted companion. Saturday I love going shopping in my green metallic Lamborghini Huracan. Sundays I go to church and ask for forgiveness to the Lord, for my obscene opulence, in my brand new candy apple red Berlinetta F12.
As you can see. NO ONE GIVES A SINGLE FUCKING FUCK ABOUT YOU.
And then you wake up
Love the music in your videos men, it´s glorius to hear such a great car with some great music !! Subscribing rigth now.
Epic car and video
I would give up anything to have a drive in an F12 Berlinetta. This is my new dream car.
You can't beat a naturally aspirated V12.
4:52..a queen bee, attracted to a yellow & black horse.
so poetic. love this car.
Does anyone know where this was filmed?
***** ive just realised that on this ferarri f12 the number plate is exactly the same as the one top gear reviewed
arafat mohammed FNE = ferrari north europe. They have private plates with those initials for a bunch of models eg 458 FNE.
I know what you're trying, oh yeah. Imma send a million cops right there immediately.
James Christensen I would say it's the east side of the Evo Triangle in north Wales. Google it!
That noise! Thank you XCAR and Ferrari!
im so happy they used a white one. i love white cars
all that was missing was red interior
racist
wayt pawir
cocaine paint job
i agree i hate red and yellow cars, they look like shit.
I've always loved the front engine ferrari's better than all the other ferrari's...and this is the best one ever...
great sounding engine but the car is so fuckin ugly...
it's nice from some angles but other views are horrible
+1954telecaster Ugly?? Serious!?
+1954telecaster I think it looks beautiful and elegant.
have you ever seen one in person? it may be aerodynamic but it looks really awkward and cheap
***** Yes, manny times.
You killed it on this edit, the ending was on point.
