Sold the Porsche, Bought a Ferrari 599 - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- The finance payments were too much, someone offered me good money for it, so I sold the Porsche. 599 values have hit the skids in the UK, Ferrari won't let me drive its cars any more, and I miss driving them so I bought, a 599. It's fast.
"Got a bit scared [of buying a manual 599] and thought I'd never be able to sell it one day."
Manual 599s are now 5+ times as valuable as automatic 599s!
he was referring to an imported car.....
Blah blah blah..go replace the fart can on your civic
yes now the zombies woke up and see that gear change in 00.1 is good on paper but when they brake and all do its a 5000-20.000 euro fix on this cars..better raise the idle on a manual😂

I can listen/watch Chris Harris drive all day, he is hands down my favorite auto journalist etc

Tiff Needell is another good one. Would love to see a showdown between the 2 lol
@@LuisMendez-ki5bm they did do it a couple of times
@@rohitchowdary27 really? I'm gonna look for it. Thanks!
"I think there's a hole in the fuel tank."
Yeah, it leads to the motor. :-)
Lol: Clever😂😂👌
That's what I was thinking with my rx7
Old but gold
made my day 😊 thx
I can’t get past the engine: a Ferrari hand built v-12 with no turbo gimmickry. This engine in *anything* would rock, let alone a beautiful Italian GT coupe.
How is a turbo a "gimmick"? Think you need to look up the definition.
I can say having heard a 599 in anger not 10 ft from me I can understand a part of his motivation. It's the most beautiful noise I think I've ever heard.
Rohan Scott I don’t know. Have you heard Madonna shreiking against President Trump at the pussy hat parade?
Any V12 Ferrari sounds fantastic
A few people live their dreams, this guy is one of the few! All I can say is kudos AND it must be nice!
You guys have to hear the vocal bark of that engine! It is an experience to behold!
Even if he had imported a manual 599 from Germany, it would have doubled in value. To bad chris didn't, if he did, he would have owned two cars that actually gain value over time, GT3 RS 4.0 and manual 599.
the rs also doubled in value
"that's what I want from car ownership; as many different experiences as possible." -- a great quote
What a down to earth bloke, so informative, and brutally honest, what a legend
Chris Harris must be ballin'. The cheapest 599 here in Canada is $200,000.
His gt3 rs 4.0 was worth more then the 599 so it was cheap in relative terms
Luckily in europe prices are more agreeable!
Have a look at the description, the Porsche was on finance apparently. And I imagine so is this Ferrari.
sauberbeast And that matters because?
dlhussain81 Uh because there is a difference buying a car outright and buying it on finance..
VERY good looking and elegant Ferrari.
I did the same thing as Chris, sold my chipped 996 turbo with GT3 suspension for a 599, in red. I also have the same problem as Chris, I love to drive it and have put on 14000 k's in 2 and a half years but I don't care, I would drive it every day but then it would add 25000k's per year and yes, cost a fortune in petrol. Cheers, Manyana
always impressed with the clutches in these super cars. launch control with over 600hp at the wheel connecting in a second, absolutely brutal
What's so impressive? My Ferrari clutch went at 23k miles...that's pathetically low for a modern clutch and i hardly did hard launches.
I've watched this video about a dozen times with the volume maxed, my chin in my hand and my eyes dreamy on those chassis lines.
I think I just may watch it again.
me too, I just bought one in the same exact colour!
Most of the world cannot afford this wonderful car, including me. However, I have never been so happy for a person who can afford it than I am for Chris. If a person can "deserve" car of this caliber, certainly Chris must qualify. After all, he clearly loves all things automotive and Ferrari must appreciate (even if secretly) one of its masterworks landing in the hands of a true enthusiast. More power to you, Chris! Enjoy it in good health.
I love the muscle car look of the Ferrari 599, yet with the performance, engine, luxury interior, and space age controllers of a super car!
*sssssssssssssssssssssssssssEX!*
Lol muscle car? This looks like a supra
u mean chic not luxery
Love your reviews Chris. No car pushing here. Honesty and what I see as wise perspective on car ownership in general and a careful distaste for overt tech nonsense of newer cars. If ferrari doesn't let you drive their cars anymore, it might have something to do with that and your praises for some of their older models especially. Consider it a compliment. I'm sure Enzo would be proud :) Cheers
If you want to read why Chris will probably not be invited to drive a factory Ferrari you should search "How Ferrari Spins" for his Jalopnik article. Well written & cheeky but I do not think Maranello was all too amused...
Well said papapetad!!!
Scarred of selling a stick 599 one day? From the persepctive of 2016: you would have made a fortune. Why don't Ferrari built cars with a stick anymore - it's a shame!
+okumonux because those who can actually afford to buy a ferrari dont give a rat's ass about stick. they just show off. And the real car nuts like me can just dream of having one.
Manual 599's go for 300.000 euros min
+Novac Emil If he had kept the GT3 RS 4.0 he could get like $500k for it now.
Make that 500K+. Crazy values of manual 599s...
sadly, Ferrari's image and mantra of late has changed from driving experience and soul to F1 and technology. i can only imagine a limited edition run of F12's with a gated stick. they would sell out in minutes but sadly, probably to collectors, not proper car nuts.
Congratulations on buying a Ferrari Chris. I was never really sure about the 599 but then I saw how fast it was on a track and my mind changed. Great car
This guy is good, he will go on to better things......
Perhaps more lucrative (as he well deserves), but not "better". *cough-top gear-cough*
I like the 599 I think it is cool
Great decision buying the 599GTB! Your right. Great value now. Great looking car.
I like his last comment, he wants to experience many different cars. I think that's a great disposition, and a satisfying one. It's not all about having a more valuable car. It ultimately comes down to the experience. Great review
Should have kept that 4.0. Values are sky high now. 599, on the other hand, is $150k now...
Watch his Joe Rogan podcast, he couldn't afford the 4.0's £1000 a month payments anymore so he had to sell it. Then a few months later he suddenly had the money from new jobs and thought he had always wanted the 599 so why not. He said he was annoyed with how the 4.0's price had shot up but he still made a good profit. He also said he views cars as experiences to own, so he's done the 4.0 and it was all about what was next.
He owned a 993 GT2 in the passed, one sold recently for £1.8m so i think he regrets selling that quite alot...
S Miller £1000 a month doesn't seem that crazy, that's only 20k USD/year. Every one of my seven siblings including me could afford those payments. What was the 4.0's msrp for them to be that low, unless he just got a 10 year finance plan or something.
Eli Vahaba Exactly, that is why I said 20k USD instead of 12k usd. I was adjusting for the difference in value of the GBP and USD.
Tim Tursonoff In hind site he should have gone through the effort to get a manual 599 because the values today on those are astronomical.
the 8 cylinder ferrari's get all the attention, but this car is badass, the f12 looks awesome too.
It is a sad reflection of the Ferrari owners of today that nobody bought a manual in the UK. The cost of the base car was in fact quite a bargain even when new, but everybody added £50k worth of unnecessary crap like £20k flapper gearbox, £7k sound systems and £3k shields on the wings. The manual versions today are so rare they fetch £500k plus.LOL!
Just about to get one of these, this video was VERY HELPFUL. Thanks Chris your awesome !!
I ate an entire box of kraft dinner over the duration of this video
its funny how chris harris drives so smoothly that when you speed up the film it just looks like hes superhuman behind the wheel
just watched it again...and...man i love your reviews so much, just as i love this ferrari. well done.
Chris deserves a Ferrari - love his reviews and delivery - feels like your talking to a real person rather than some marketing geek who has to review a car
One of my favorite Ferraris, this is a muscle car mixed with a Ferrari engine. I love that about this car. This is a "Man's Car".
muscle car?
It’s been 8 year since the f12 came out? Damn I feel like it was 3 years ago
Man I remember watching this freshman year of high school. Im 22 now. Still just as good.
Yes! "As many different ownership experiences as possible!" Just sold my 964Turbo, and looking at the car you should’ve bought, the 550Maranello❤️
This car turns corners like a mid-engine sex pony! It is wild that Ferrari can design such performance in the 599. This is why McLaren picked Ferrari to steal from lol.
Dude that car is pretty much a v12 supra
One word to describe his videos : Captivating.
He allows all of us to feel what he feels, through his emotions and proper use of the English dictionary :)
Kudos to him for being able to drive a $300,000 car very fast, and can still talk clear and focused
"i bought a Ferrari", what a humble man
when you're the best at what you do, you reap the rewards
Porsche v Ferrari,
If you are getting a lift
Cool a porsche
OH FK YES A FERRARI
Chris is just amazing.his commenting skills are the only matched by his equally impressive driving !!
Gorgeous video once again Chris. And i like how the sense of speed was portrayed here and how the colour balances in the clip went with that of the vehicle. Nice touches all over.
And now in 2018, he's got the best car of them all. A 911 GT3 Touring 🔥
Do want
Well, I can only speak for myself when I say I love his work and his view of things. Him and Jeremy Clarkson are my two favorite journalists.
@random panda on the internet what's that supposed to.mean?
@random panda on the internet Clarkson is not in Top Gear anymore but he seems to be still one of the best, same for Chris.
Now THAT is a classy daily driver Ferrari! The lines on this car scream "gentleman" and it's the best color apart from dark jade green (I know I may be weird). I don't usually comment but wow, congratulations and well done, very very tasteful! I love your videos buddy!!
I don't understand all this hating. Porsche or ferrari...99,9% of us will never drive either of those. They are very different but both absolutely amazing. Chris does the only right thing taste and savour them both-what could ever be wrong with that?
Chris needs to re-adjust his thinking ... in the video he worries about putting miles on the car and ruining it's resale value ... when he should be thinking about driving the wheels off it for the next 500,000 miles and having the highest mileage supercar in the world. I know if I owned it I'd drive it everywhere for any reason.
Had Chris been able to hold onto both cars for another year or two he woulda had nearly half a mill in the bank haha! In fact include the testarossa in there and he probably would hit that mark! Bonkers cars!
Most of the people putting their two sense in this issue act as if you ever sat or driven a Ferrari never mind own one.So pleas just watch the video and enjoy, leave the comments to the big boys who actually have had the pleasure of knowing first hand what they are saying.
Two cents*
@@pakruojezieds 🤣
I watch a lot of car reviews and you do the best job. Everyone just says ohhh it's so fast about every car, but you give a good sense of what it's like to actually own one. I also like the fact that you're open about the fact that it's a stupid amount of money to spend on a car, but you don't give a shit lol. That is awesome.
I love the 599, its always been one of my favorite cars. And up until the F12 came out, I think this was probably one of the best all around cars you could buy in my opinion.
Why is Everyone hating on the Ferrari, I've never owned either as I'm the next best thing to being homeless but I have been on a trackday and driven driven a Ferrari f430 and a 911 turbo. The Ferrari is so much more special!! Can see the 911 being better everyday
*****
I don't know where you live, but that's literally the exact opposite of the perception I've gotten and heard my entire life. To the point where I've literally heard women point at guys in Porsches (on multiple occasions) and say something to the effect of, "that guy must have a tiny penis."
*****
You kind of proved the opposite. Ferraris are taken seriously, Porsche are common, and look like feet.
mechmat12345 I used to point and laugh every time I saw a Porsche, now I just think it's ugly. I've seen a few comments about a Porsche looking like a foot! LOL a foot!
In Italy where the car is made it's not seen as such. Typically you'll see the older gray haired man cruising through the countryside. Let's not let the punks who buy the cars to compensate for any insecurities ruin the cars, because it's not the manufacturer's fault and not in their control who buys the cars. I'm well travelled and have family in Germany and Italy, having spent considerable amounts of time in both countries. You don't see many spoiled rich kids in either country driving these cars as commonly as it is seen in America. I've been in the US for many years now. To some, the ones who are quick to judge and criticize, the young man or any many for that matter with a Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, and the like are seen as rich spoiled snobs who are just insecure. Yes there are owners like that but that shouldn't ruin the reputation of the respective makers or the drivers who legitimately drive the cars for the amazing experience they offer and can appreciate them for what they are. As it's said, let's not let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch. In this video Chris is enjoying the car the way it should be. He has acknowledged on multiple occasions the car is not practical for use in say London for example. But at the end of the day it's his money, his preference, and ultimately his choice. He and nobody else who makes purchases is not the least bit hurting any one of us. I think we have more important matters in society that are worthy of bitching about.
The Porsche foot lovers freaking out because of Ferrari, due to their own insecurities, are much like the Toyota fanboys spamming Lexus videos/forums. It would be entertaining... if any of us gave a damn about Porsche.
Dont worry about it bro...he's the best!!! he probably has a few gigs through his journalist connections...the people love him man
Mr. Harris, I love you even more for your statement at the beginning @0:20
I like your opinion- you won't hate a car even if you don't like a company. Thank you for not being such a badge snub as Jay Leno. I personally love Ferrari, I don't have problem with people saying they don't like Ferrari cars, but only valid if they've driven one first. Same case every Brand! Every car model are different, irrespective to brand. Heritage is something that is only until yesterday. Today is, what today is!
And now sold the Ferrari, bought a Mountain Bike HAHAHAHAHAHA
Love the 599, ferrari did a great job with it, the F12 I will say, looks better, but the sound of the 599 is awesome
saw one of these today at the philadelphia auto show...this car is pretty big and it's wider than an escalade, truly immense car and truly beautiful
Did the artsy camera/sound guys from Top Gear produce /Drive? This is such good stuff.
I must admit I wasn't the biggest 599 fan until I first saw this video, just to me A Ferrari with a V12 is like God with wheels, still take take the F12 over this any day tho
Ian Townsend Everyone would if he has the extra money ;-)
Love the Slayer T-shirt :)
Chris can make cars do what no one else can. People scratching their head saying how the fuck did he just whip that out and bring it back so smooth!!!
Mr. Harris... You are sooo lucky to do what you love to do and get paid a pretty penny doing it... Thank you for all the videos!
1750 kg? Heavy ass mama
You cant denied the Italian origin with this big ass
More then you can afford PAL "FERRARI"
Than*
I see what you did there
+Hub By :D
Doug reference. Awesome.
First one of your videos I've seen. I love a guy that drives a Ferrari in a Slayer t-shirt. You're awesome.
Most people who buy an expensive supercar don't want something half the price using a very similar design. I think 50% of driving a supercar is that very special feeling you get when you know you're being noticed by everyone else on the road.
Chris, I think your too cool to drive the 599, which I think is for old men. Ferrari is certainly cool, but there is no comparison to the purity of the 997 GT3 RS, being a 997 GT3 owner, in my opinion.
Zzzzzzzzzzz just a foot looking Porsche...
Johnny Vigilante
LOL@!
Indeed.
so you sold your 911 GT3 RS 4,0 for a 599 GTB? i wouldnt have made that decision
Well when you get to make that decision, let us know. Otherwise... lol.
Why not? I'm sure the 599 is a better all-rounder.
RS Bro LOL
At the end of the day, it's a boring Porsche. Nobody takes notice of someone owning a Porsche, but a Ferrari they do.
Josh Sullivan Absolutely correct.
"when it's right lit", Chris-you're amazing. Anyone who doesn't "get" you, is really missing something special. Carry on.
i love this guys attitude towards cars..........dead honest.
Sell a Porsche?! I wouldn't even have wasted money buying one to begin with!
and there I go thinking I got a nice car in my bmw 328i... oh well maybe next life
And there I go thinking I have a nice car in my 11 Accord coupe lol😉
I drive a 328i as well and I know exactly how you feel XD
328 guys can joke about it. now talk to a 335 guy and they have a harder time with it.
A bmw straight 6 is one of life’s great pleasures. I own 2. Just rent a Korean 4 cylinder car. You’ll come running back to the e90.
no this life! read up how to make money
Interesting decision. I just sold my 997 GT3 RS 4 litre in favour of a Ferrari 488 GTB as I felt the 4 litre had peaked and the Ferrari was under valued. I am now enjoying the 488 so much it doesn't really matter any more about which one holds a price better. I am driving it so much I will probably also get 20p for it when I sell it but the fun was worth it. Both being totally fabulous cars in such completely different ways.
I totally hear you about the lack of the driving experience missing with many of these modern sports cars lacking a traditional clutch.
ferarri blacklisted you why?
lol
+LeonRFpoa that quite a while ago, i believe 2years or so.
he said ferrari unfairly prepaire their cars before journo's drive them so they give better reviews than the cars they actually sell. which is true, and not only for ferrari but multiple cars.
dis car cuddent even keep up wiv my costa coz i dun mods.
what on earth is a Costa?
Brady Lillington itz a car u numnut
Maybe if you spoke English instead of Chav i might be able to understand you.
English please.
HAHA! your spelling is so bad there's a 'Translate' button. Real inventive insult there! I'm so offended! :O
I've never been a Ferrari guy, the 599 changed my mind.
Chris, I envy you; beautiful car by the way.
This car is a classy screamer. At 43, I would drive this car in a heartbeat.
I love how all the chat is about how he could afford the car. Luls, people get jealous too easy
Jealous over Chris... they want him to only own their Porsche brand, to validated that trench foot looking junk.
We are both better looking than Porsche.
I guarantee he will regret selling his Porsche GT3 RS 4.0< as it is the last of a dying breed of manual transmission super cars.
Flappy paddles are for pansies or ladies, real men drive manuals.
Automatic transmissions are oh soooooo boring to drive.
"Real men..." You wouldn't know...
Not just any internet journalist, little Chris is the Chuck Norris of car reviewers.
You're totally right in your purchase Chris. Awesome road car which has everything you would want to take u round the world except fuel tanker in tow lol. Love it!!!
How are you making so much money that you can afford this, even if it's used by just blogging and reviewing cars!? If anything, that's "lunacy" not tye car! Lol but nice review :)
In Chris's situation, I would've bought a used GT3 or an R8 for that price...I would've thought that Chris would know better than to through himself from a financial burden into a financial hellhole.
You know what's really fucking annoying? What's really fucking annoying is people not starting sentences properly, usually beginning "that moment when..."!
Artful, what job do you do to "make bank"?
Sometimes when you want to taste the best in life money comes second. Be it a nice suit you feel good in or a Ferrari that every time you sit in and rev that engine makes all the worries go away and you feeling like a king.
bezor Ta I completely understand that. But seeing as he is someone who drives Ferraris often despite his "ban", it doesn't seem like a good idea to buy something he cannot afford.
Sal sean ahahahah make bank.
Da Ca
He sure is!
Tire/tyre Slayer shirt, ha it got me the first time.."Whoa, he's wearing a Slayer shirt!" Farah's has one too..pretty sweet.
Chris Harris listening to Slayer is something that has never ever happened
That's the most boring Ferrari I have ever seen. I would have kept the Porsche
It's a tasteful Ferrari, not a boring one.
He wanted a real super car and as good as Porsche is, it's no Ferrari. And this one is not for young drivers looking only for racing but rather a comfy GT for mature buyers and longer drives.
Porsches look more boring
Look more closely,
Porsches look like flattened Beetles.
I understand this. Totally. One would need both. Or this and a 4WD Turbo.
i love chris harris hes professional concise and says it as it is and hes a top bloke good luck with the 599 chris
I never understood why British people love and hate Ferrari at the same moment!
The Slayer T Shirt makes it all the better. He has great taste in cars and music. Legend
he might be he most down to earth brit ive seen. nice change from topgear
Wouldn't use launch control too much Chris! Will absolutely ruin the clutch.
i'm gonna watch all Chris Harris videos. He's awesome! He can probably make a Toyota Corolla review fun to watch.
So Chris has had a 612, 512, 599 & FF that's quite a Ferrari collection he's had
CHRIS HARRIS AS THE 4th TOP GEAR PRESENTER
2:09 Look how fast! Through turns! WOW
Yes people get bored with their cars,especially if the don't see them as "investments". that's why I've owned so many different cars over the years,just like my Dad did. Regardless of make+model,my weakness is convertibles.I love blasting thru the mountains on a full moon night with the lights off,it's THEE Ultimate Rush. Blessed Be My Friend.
