F40 every single time. Yes, the TDF has a symphonic V12 mated to a incredible gearbox, but the F40 is old school at its absolute best. Four wheels, two seats, a gated manual gearbox, and a glorious Twin Turbo V8. Forever a legend 🤘
That feels backwards a TDF is a TDF but the F40 is Ferrari! Ferrari was always about the racing more than the street cars. It is the most Ferrari street car they ever produced. Outside of that you have to be in the FXX program to get the race car experience.
That F40 is so gorgeous and when I see the F40 and F50 together I want to cry. My childhood was dedicated to cutting out all the pictures I could of those cars from the Dupont Registry.
F40 - just so that one day you can say you owned one. F12tdf - stunning stunning car - but the chances of owning one again if you wanted vs the F40.... ? Do it !
It might not have the crazy loud V12 soundtrack BUT the F40 is THE Ferrari's ultimate supercar, the way it stances, the wheels, the insanely agressive design for it's time, the driving focused cabin, the unusual turbocharged engine to be fitted in a supercar at the time.....just genius stuff by the maranello people !
Just incredible & remarkable way how you talk about the cars James. You’re one of the finest lifestyle icon youtuber currently on this planet 🌎 keep it up mate👍 much love from India 🇮🇳
The best car ever made for sure! Interesting fact, the first 15 or 20 F40 made in 1987 had more than 650hps and less than 1100kg, and has the maximum speed above 370km / h, before passing the transit rules at the time! They say that Ferrari hides this fact not to depreciate the other F40 manufactured later, knowing that these manufactured first are rarer and faster! Great content as always mate!
YES! I'm sorry, the TDF is epic but the F40 is a different level, it's the poster on the wall of millions of children, it's styling is incredible, timeless, iconic. I've watched 2 minutes of the video but I was typing this before the video started playing. Do it! DO IT!!!
In the other two videos you spent arround 10 min each. In this one 17 min. Thats your answer. Emotion, feeling, sense of ocations, a true legend. If your can aford it, is a must. Great content @mrjww, the best for far¡¡¡¡ greatings from spain¡¡¡
F 40 for sure, and just blast trough the turbo power delivery band, to really get the "kick and pull" of the spooled turbo's this 3 car journey is epic, well well done
Personally, I love seeing all the reactions of people turning their heads at the car. I wish more YTers drove their cars through town first to get some reactions!
Analogue supercars like this are perfect in my eyes, as time goes on these analogue beasts become ever more appealing. Things like the F40/50, CGT, 993 GT2 etc... Love these cars. Need that euro millions win ASAP
@Mr JWW : TDF Over F40 I think. 1 V12, 2 F40 is very high value but TDF is probably quite badly underappreciated. 3 They are quite rare, a very special version of a great car. The F40 is amazing and looks fantastic. But I would stick with the TDF.
I seen a few of these on car shows and Ferrari events and such things, but the coolest F40 sighting for me was when one was coming the opposite direction in traffic on normal roads outside of Trollhättan in Sweden, some time in the late 90:ies. And it had Dutch number plates! Imagine driving an F40 from Holland to Sweden and back! What a hero! I was 13 when it was launched and remember the fuzz it made from the car mags at the time, even the weird prototype (the 288 GTO Evoluzione) that proseeded it. Btw, The F40 was my fifth 1:18 scale model, that I got in 1989. I feel SO old now.
Proper analogue car, I’m 18 and drive an old mgb, nothing in comparison but has the same dainty non power steering and the same raw throttle response from the twin carbs, I hope one day to have that feeling matched by one of these in such a visceral but obviously far more dramatic way
The F40 is of course a motoring icon. A dream for any enthusiasts. Unfortunately we sometimes have to be practical. You'd probably continue to get a lot more use out of the TDF than an F40. Just ask Sam. As beautiful as his legendary blue F40 is, he doesn't seem to use it very often.
Recently heard the F40 engine described by a Ferrari mechanic as just like two turbo charged motorbikes sitting side by side. Small displacement. But light enough and powerful enough to be just outrageous. When I think about the sound of this car now that statement kind of makes sense.
It has a 120 litre fuel tank, and can get 33mpg on an open road. Ultimatespecs also says 29mpg in the city, which seems cap beyond cap. Could it be that lean on fuel? I'm forgetting how light it is, considering it's motor
Iconic cars. 250 gto F40, Enzo and la Ferarri. The rest are fantastic. So do you want to own an Iconic piece of Ferarri history. If you have the opportunity then 💯 absolutely. Unfortunately the roads around Sevenoaks you could not explore the F40. Fantastic mini series of the F40 to the Enzo. Great that Ferarri Sevenoaks has given us the viewing. Push the button on the F40 . Bravo James 👏
As cool and iconic the F40 is, I’d rather own the TDF, it's a lot more usable in the sense of road use and for road trips. The dream would to own both and purely use the F40 for track days. And revving the life out of that V8 Turbo.
You didn't do a justice to Enzo and F50 by not placing the camera by Dashboard view like you have in this video.....That Camera Angle leads us to a whole new experience of virtually drive the car🙏👍❤️ Obviously i am liking F40 video more than previous two video but you should have done it that way....." The Camera Angle"
F40 or TDF, what a question, that’s a video you need to make James having experienced them both. Us mere mortals can only base our decision on their looks and what we’ve heard about them.
As the late, great Ferrari F1 driver, Michele Alboreto said “it’s a race car that can be used for the road”. Fantastic video this one. Loving the Ferrari content and your thoughts on driving these.
I've Go for the F40 because it's a legend 🦁💯, and sounds amazing 😍😍😍, and James mostly have modern supercars in his garage, adding a actually old school Beast 🔥💯, will definitely be a yes and enjoy the car James, your content always brings me joy and happiness and make me smile ❤️🙏💪. Keep it up and Stay Safe and positive and hope you have a nice day James , 🙏🙏🙏.
kind of hard to choose when I haven't driven either of them and I've only seen one of those in my lifetime :( it is hard though because i mean for sheer enjoyment it's gotta be the F40, but i would want to drive it a lot lot and the TDF is better for everyday use with its creature comforts. Sometimes you don't always want to be at the edge of your seat all tensed and some what stressed. It can be taxing especially driving around those UK tight roads yikes. Choosing between these two is not something I would want to decide on, but it's definitely a problem I wish I had :(
F40 is one of the most iconic and coolest cars ever made but, I personally beleive TDF is the greatest car of modern era. You should keep the TDF as its my dream car. Its the all round capability of TDF without any compromises, which facinates me. I hope that you will be able to own the TDF, F40 and Carrera GT at the same time. That would be a dream life. Lot of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
This F40 reminds me so much of an Abarth 500. Unpractical seating position, turbo sound, single-turbo kick, incredible sound, light weight, minimalistic interior and you can floor it without going too fast. It's a busy little bee as well, so in my opinion - not worth the price LOL, buy an Abarth.
I think James now knows why the F40 is known as the greatest drivers car ever made. There are & will be quicker cars made. But there will never be another car that will be like this again.. F40 every day of the week. Could never get bored of driving a F40 everyday.
She's the ONE ... i always wanted Her ... going back to my Youth ... i have magazines ... posters & Models of HER Beauty ... She is ICONIC ... TDF versus F40 ... thats a tough one ... i love the TDF as well ...but i think i would take the F40 ... because SHE is so raw ... so Analog ... HER Beauty is Timeless ... She's the ONE thats going to put a smile on your face all Day Every Day ... thanks for sharing James .
TDF is the easy choice imho. Only F50 would make me think about a change with it, being a project of building a road car with as much F1 tech back then as possible.
The ideal garage mate would be the P4... however, with so few examples in existence, and equally few continuation replicas, its only an option for a tiny few.
A true driver's car. No driver aide's, no GPS, no touch screens, barely any creature comforts. And who needs a radio with that orchestra behind your head!?
Thats definition of Ferrari.Raw,red,fast,beautifull and so passionate you fell in love it cant get out of your head.Time before regulations took soul out of cars
Built to Group B regulations. A good friend of my family collected a F40 from the factory to join other Group B cars that were part of the The Patrick Collection in Birmingham. Sadly now closed.
Totally agree about the sound of the turbo charged engine maybe the smaller displacement engines sound and rev better than their modern day behemoths lol love the F40 great series 👍
I drive a 996.2 GT3. In some ways similar, only anti lock brakes. The sound is great the feeling too. In 3 years ownership I never used the stereo 😂. Trow away the tdf. It will never give you, what an old car can
Mr. JWW...... please 🙏 try to get your hands on the Wheel of a 288 GTO and a 288 GTO EVOLUZIONE!!!! Then you complete from the bottom.... 288 GTO (Evoluzione), F40, F50, Enzo....... thats the full experiance 💪😎👍 Love the content mate!!!! 🤗
All time favourite car is Ferrari F40. This is the ultimate drivers car. We all should thank Ferrari for the F40. If it haven't been for this amazing car we will most likely not have the supercar competition between all the manufacturer to day. If ever had the chance to only drive that car for 2 minutes my life will be completed ❤️ Ferrari ❤️
Of ALL the modern Ferrari’s, the TDF is probably my favourite, but to swap a TDF for a F40 is a very difficult choice as the F40 along with 288GTO are my favourite classic Ferrari’s. I’d have to toss a coin to decide but I know with either, I would not be disappointed.
F40 because it’s pure old school excitement, and has no technologies to spoil / overwhelm the driving experience. The TDF is amazing as well, but F40 is as good as it gets.
F40 every single time. Yes, the TDF has a symphonic V12 mated to a incredible gearbox, but the F40 is old school at its absolute best. Four wheels, two seats, a gated manual gearbox, and a glorious Twin Turbo V8. Forever a legend 🤘
This is more special than the TDF. In a TDF you're driving a Ferrari; in an F40 you're driving an F40.
Damn perfectly said
Touché
Real talk
That feels backwards a TDF is a TDF but the F40 is Ferrari! Ferrari was always about the racing more than the street cars. It is the most Ferrari street car they ever produced. Outside of that you have to be in the FXX program to get the race car experience.
Thats a very good way of wording it! Perfectly worded
You need to bring back the Modern Classics series
The F 40 of course!!! Iconic like no one else. The ultimate man machine
He kan user F40 for track cars

F40 every day, you'll never get bored of it and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face each time you get in it
That F40 is so gorgeous and when I see the F40 and F50 together I want to cry. My childhood was dedicated to cutting out all the pictures I could of those cars from the Dupont Registry.
Thank you sir for allowing us to be a part of this magical experience.
F40. Will you ever get bored of driving it? I know I wouldn’t.
Only an F50 or Carrera GT could make the F40 seem boring.
F40 - just so that one day you can say you owned one. F12tdf - stunning stunning car - but the chances of owning one again if you wanted vs the F40.... ? Do it !
You’ve driven a McLaren F1, F 40. I guess you’re just missing the Jaguar XJ 220
It might not have the crazy loud V12 soundtrack BUT the F40 is THE Ferrari's ultimate supercar, the way it stances, the wheels, the insanely agressive design for it's time, the driving focused cabin, the unusual turbocharged engine to be fitted in a supercar at the time.....just genius stuff by the maranello people !
Just incredible & remarkable way how you talk about the cars James. You’re one of the finest lifestyle icon youtuber currently on this planet 🌎 keep it up mate👍 much love from India 🇮🇳

Source?!
WOW
Not true. There were 650 bhp Ferrari cars before the F40. Those were the prototypes called GTO Evoluzione. Only 5 were built.
this car has a soul! You can feel his engine! It's magic ! For me the most perfect car ever made! Power, beauty and passion in a perfect combination
Smashing little mini series Jim. Great presentation while looking particularly sharp.
never been a F40 fan and not seeing that change any time soon. I am a 550/575/599/F12/812 fan so I would definitely keep the TDF
“It’s like the crescendo of a production”
*hits something*
I miss my F40...
That was a great dream.
YES!
I'm sorry, the TDF is epic but the F40 is a different level, it's the poster on the wall of millions of children, it's styling is incredible, timeless, iconic. I've watched 2 minutes of the video but I was typing this before the video started playing. Do it! DO IT!!!
Lol those children are now nearly 40 years old, myself included.
In the other two videos you spent arround 10 min each. In this one 17 min. Thats your answer. Emotion, feeling, sense of ocations, a true legend. If your can aford it, is a must.
Great content @mrjww, the best for far¡¡¡¡ greatings from spain¡¡¡
F 40 for sure, and just blast trough the turbo power delivery band, to really get the "kick and pull" of the spooled turbo's
this 3 car journey is epic, well well done
Personally, I love seeing all the reactions of people turning their heads at the car. I wish more YTers drove their cars through town first to get some reactions!
I sat thru every commercial and didn’t skip anything for you James. That’s how much I love this series. Wish a 288GTO could have been part of the day.
Thanks for sharing these drives, especially the F40 which was an icon for me growing up in the 80's. Very special ...
The camera angle from behind you, looking at the road though the eyes of a backseat passenger was fantastic!
Thank you for experience
Analogue supercars like this are perfect in my eyes, as time goes on these analogue beasts become ever more appealing. Things like the F40/50, CGT, 993 GT2 etc... Love these cars.
Need that euro millions win ASAP

Only thing better than an F40 is a F40-LM/GTE :D
F40 actually Has amazing Aircon James that one must need recharging
Agreed Jason!
Asmathic hamster fart 😂😂
U can spec with/without aircon

up out of bessels greeen going towards ide hill today
Not even close J...the F40 over the TDF anyday.
Great video thanks for posting.
I'm probably the odd one out... but I would choose the TDF :). Great Video James, and a great series :)

The legendary F-40 is an iconic raw power automobile a masterpiece, Scuderia Ferrari.
As much as I love, respect and admire the F40, the TDF just has that extra 'ooomph' of pizzaz that pushes it over the top (for me)!!
😮
It’s insanely elegant and beautiful, such a timeless design
Niiice. Just need a GTO and you’ve done the lot

F40 o dia todo, todos os dias 👌🏻🐎 F40 all day every day
Swap for an F40 before your TDF value gets murdered by the new competitzione.
By the look of the market, my comment is aging well ! "Good" F40s are above 2mil USD now.
Are you sure swapping a NA V12 with a turbo V8 is a good idea?Noooooooooooooooo......maybe you can have both!!:)
kind of hard to choose when I haven't driven either of them and I've only seen one of those in my lifetime :(
it is hard though because i mean for sheer enjoyment it's gotta be the F40, but i would want to drive it a lot lot and the TDF is better for everyday use with its creature comforts.

Choosing between these two is not something I would want to decide on, but it's definitely a problem I wish I had :(
no... a slow build was amazing and perfect. god bless you and that back camera.
Probably unpopular, but I’d prefer an F12 TDF over an F40 any day of the week. Modern, screaming NA V12.
F40! But would personally choose the f50

F40 would be awesome but would it lose it's feeling if it was there for you to take whenever. Any news on shipping for the brandjww glasses?
Fantastic review. Love the way you describe everything man!
TDF is A Ferrari (a masterpiece, imho). F40 is THE Ferrari. Period.
A true driver's car. No driver aide's, no GPS, no touch screens, barely any creature comforts. And who needs a radio with that orchestra behind your head!?
So which one would you have James, money no object?
Thats definition of Ferrari.Raw,red,fast,beautifull and so passionate you fell in love it cant get out of your head.Time before regulations took soul out of cars
Reminds me of my first super car poster when I was at school... Absolutely fantastic car
F40 without a doubt my brother
Built to Group B regulations. A good friend of my family collected a F40 from the factory to join other Group B cars that were part of the The Patrick Collection in Birmingham. Sadly now closed.
From the outside, I believe it's easily the most beautiful car ever built.
...absolutely perfect from any perspective.
I will go for the f40. But if you had an 812 superfast, it was much harder to pick one. But the f40 is amazing and sounds fenominal
That's the car that's on top of my list of favorite cars. This car to me is just perfect.
You make me feel old james...I was 24 when the f40 was released...always perfured the 288gto tbh
F40 as it is unquestionably the pinnacle of what Ferrari is about, and like you said James, it’s steeped in history and automotive folklore
Totally agree about the sound of the turbo charged engine maybe the smaller displacement engines sound and rev better than their modern day behemoths lol love the F40 great series 👍
Def get an f40 go for it. What a super car. Wow!!!!!! Just go for it. From Dan. M👍👍👍
Both! Best of both worlds and the best 2 car garage.
I drive a 996.2 GT3. In some ways similar, only anti lock brakes. The sound is great the feeling too. In 3 years ownership I never used the stereo 😂.
Trow away the tdf. It will never give you, what an old car can
The 40 for sure, for me. love the "no power " or assisted anything. All power all driver baby
Great video. My choice between this and the TDF, is very easy a TDF, even better would be a Laf.
F40 any day!!
F40 all day the greatest car ever you are a lucky bloke to be driving such a iconic car
The F40 was the best when it came out and I love the car. I like the F50, 288GTO and Laferrari more but owning any is great
Great series. F40 what a car! Do
more of this. Lamborghini maybe…?
Well being 18 years old in 1986, my absolute dream car was and is the F40.
F40! great video! ... how about in the coming episode, a Bugatti EB110! 😊
Yup. In a heartbeat.
Good old Seven Oaks. They have a lambo and a Aston dealer in Seven Oaks also. I’m living not far away but can only afford a 2020 porsche 992 S 😀
