Cor, doesn't she sing! Love it. And with all these continuations you can actually use and enjoy them to their full potential without being in a constant state of worry and anxiety about breaking 60 year old - unavailable components!
Wonderful video. It expresses why I turned in my leased 2017 high tech modern Alfa Giulia sedan and bought a 20 year old 911. Not on the same level as this 250 SWB, but well within the same spirit and fun factor. Modern technology in cars turns us into automotive couch potatoes.
Josh Nisker maybe, but the driving experience is far far mor amazing on the SWB for me. So the hole package is far better with the SWB (for me of corse)
Josh Nisker The SWB competizione is the best car i’ve driven...period. I have the amazing luck of being able to drive many many cars, but no car has ever transmitted su much and felt so right as the SWB. But the 300SL is a stunning car, beautiful. Did you know there are some very special 300SLs that where restomoded by AMG and Mercedes Benz with a modern engine inside with 400hp, and A/C. Not very engaging when you drive them but they become very very usable, almost a daily driver.
The giggling was funny! Awesome car..amazing that they can recreate it ..must be some wonderful engineering going on in that beautiful GTO building....thanks for the review Sam
Giddy as a school boy. I am as well lol it really shows What you need in a car. Forget Sat nav, drinks holder. Wheel Through your fingertips, arse On a seat, and the best engine Money can buy. Bellisimo ❤
You tried hard Sam, but, there are no words for these kind of experience’s, the best that life has to offer in vehicle terms. I am the same, especially on really fast motorcycles, there are no words..........thanks for videos like this, GTO Engineering are exceptional at what they do and long may it continue, they are magicians to be able to recreate such engineering art and poetry..........wish very much to be able to afford a 250 SWB, in black with cognac leather, competition spec !
@lol I'm 6ft, it was ok but my legs were up by my ears. The seat was hard mounted but I think it might be able to go back a bit and then i'd spacer the wheel. Not optimum tho
Sam, this is your one of the best reviews. Car is from another planet, of course, but your reactions were onest. So glad to watch it. Repeated couple times your downshift fragments) Thanks mate!
He starts out . . . I think I'd rather have mine in dark blue, The seating position is a little odd, Can't adjust the seats . . . accelerates for the first time and speechless mouth agape
It’s as raw driving as it gets. The shifter is all hydraulic, the engine is a beast of raw power, the suspension, we’ll you’ll feel every bump, it’s all meant to be that be that way.
Great video and review Sam, only money prevents me from buying it and what a bargain with respect to an original.......the noise is amazing, you must have seen Derek Hill’s video in a 250 GTO, 7 minutes of bliss, thank you so much for this .....
I grew up in the 80s with the 80s attitude ‘can’t sit in my car - you’ll ruin the leathers’ is what I was told by a guy my brother knew! Right there & then I made it my goal to own a Ferrari - & I do. I egged myself on visiting showrooms & dealers until I could afford one. I keep to my promise that I’d let anyone drive my car as I don’t want to be like that guy! It’s only metal & money ❤️
I am sooooooo jealous. Come on lotto. How can they badge this a Ferrari? I guess they start with an old Ferrari do they? But you seemed to indicate the car was a new build. If they have Ferrari approval then it elevates this car somewhat more. I really hate you right now. How come others have so much fun and I'm stuck in a shopping trolley. Great vid and I love your response to the car. Pure unadulterated joy. :)
It’s what’s known as ‘a tool car’. It’s built completely of Ferrari parts, it just didn’t roll off the Ferrari factory floor. Ferrari actually buy parts from GTO Engineering for fixing and servicing classic Ferraris
Giorgio Napoli It really is an experience you'll get nowhere else. The sounds, the vibrations, the view over that beautifully shaped front end, ... To really feel exactly as he did you'll have to try it yourself
May I trade my family for this jewel?🤤😍🏎 Love the starter gear noise that ring like Alice Cooper’s School’s Out song beginning 🎶🎵🎶 Love the headrests too 🙃
I really love this car and this modern build by GTO Engineering, but what about Ferrari and its lawyers? They usually don't love "replicas" o other kind of reproduction.
Chris Harris made this point, you don't need a million hp to have fun. You were having an absolute ball at well within nsl speeds. When is ferrari going to give us a 400-500hp, manual, and under 1200kg car? If nothing else, the hp wars need to end
knowing how Ferrari cares about them image, I can't understand how come that they don't sue them to oblivion. BTW I have no problem with replica cars I was just wondering
That was sooooo brilliant! My dream car was always an F40 but now I am really questioning if this would be better? Would you sell yours to replace with a 250 rep????
No 😂, I guess the first question is if I sold the 40 what would I buy? I’d definitely have “a v12” but probably not this. Would rather a few cars instead
Good question. That car has been away for a while but I might need to put the loud pipes back on for a bit. The 911 is a much nicer driving experience just doesn’t quite deliver the adrenaline shot like the v12. Need to back to back both and would like to take the 250 on track 🤣
I owned a comp. 1960 SWB in the 70's (#1807) and used it for my daily driver in LA. It had an engine out of a 1958 Testarossa!
U must be rich than
@@hottiemcscottie5952at that time they probably weren’t as expensive. Especially considering that it didn’t have the original engine.
Still incredible though
A beautiful car, weighs 1,000 kg, has 300hp, an NA V12 with three pedals. Otherwise known as perfection!
You need this and an Eagle and a Porsche 550
Cor, doesn't she sing! Love it. And with all these continuations you can actually use and enjoy them to their full potential without being in a constant state of worry and anxiety about breaking 60 year old - unavailable components!
100%
Jesus.....! I could feel the torque through my iPad! So jealous that you got to “aim” that thing down public roads. Great vid!

The most gorgeous GT ever made!!
Marcelo S it is stunning but sits at #2 for me, right behind the 300SL Gullwing.
Josh Nisker maybe, but the driving experience is far far mor amazing on the SWB for me. So the hole package is far better with the SWB (for me of corse)
I agree. The SWB Ferraris are my favorite.
@@titolynch I’ve never driven either, so I’ll take your word for it!

There is nothing in the world that beats the sound of an old school v12. Love the video mate
I had goosebumps during the entire driving part. That sound ! A-MA-ZIng !
Colombo 3.5 liter v12 is just heaven
This review and your reaction is exactly as I hoped it would be. Sublime.
I had the same exact reaction. You just can’t explain it, you are just wowed.
The giggling was funny! Awesome car..amazing that they can recreate it ..must be some wonderful engineering going on in that beautiful GTO building....thanks for the review Sam
Forget about those modern supercars... All a real enthusiast needs is a classic Ferrari!
Yes. A car where skill counts.
Or a classic Porsche.
Those are the only V12 Ferraris worth getting in my perspective. The modern ones are too powerful, too big and too fast to be enjoyed on the road.
This is is not a classic. It´s a modern replica.
That Ferrari is amazing everyone needs one if it wasn't 800k
Quite possibly the best UA-cam video I’ve seen in some time!
🤣🙏🏻
There’s absolutely nothing to dislike about this car in my view at least my
Thanks for this video mate! As car people we could feel every bit of the emotions you were trying to convey, and that engine... oh my god!
I’ve driven past this place a hundred times, just wish I had the money to go in!
To go in is free.... go have a look!
Sam Moores Cheers, Sam, maybe I will!
Giddy as a school boy.
I am as well lol it really shows
What you need in a car. Forget
Sat nav, drinks holder. Wheel
Through your fingertips, arse
On a seat, and the best engine
Money can buy. Bellisimo ❤
Could not stop laughing 😂 watching Sam enjoying himself sooo much! That is living!
They went from 500k to 800k fast...
Beautiful machine...perfect in black.
After watching your review I cannot think of a car I would rather have. To elicit that kind of response from someone.....amazing.
I love your enthusiasm! Great to watch you enjoying it so much. It is what cars and driving is all about.
Absolutely!
The most beautiful car there is.
You tried hard Sam, but, there are no words for these kind of experience’s, the best that life has to offer in vehicle terms.

Thanks, it was a rather special experience
Loved your video. Thanks for just being real and letting emotion take over. It's refreshing. And what a thing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A very underrated channel.
That noise, that noise!!! No young man this is pure sound, music to hears, and absolutely not a "noise"!
haha, you are correct.
@lol I'm 6ft, it was ok but my legs were up by my ears. The seat was hard mounted but I think it might be able to go back a bit and then i'd spacer the wheel. Not optimum tho
Wow probably the best looking car of all time,I would buy it for sure if i had the money
Sam, this is your one of the best reviews. Car is from another planet, of course, but your reactions were onest. So glad to watch it. Repeated couple times your downshift fragments) Thanks mate!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Before I got home I was actually pretty worried that there was just going to be a lot of blabbing and nothing else.
@@sammooresphoto but you know, in this case it what was needed). Because as you mentioned, how can you review such car in traditional way?

Kid-in-a-candy-store levels of happiness, great stuff
Amazing car. You should have gone to that location with your F40, imagine the two of them together..
That would have been wicked. F40 was in for a service and not sure the podcast gear would have fitted in too well 😂
@@sammooresphoto Time to get that all important roof rack :)
@@randomsurfer3963 there is a dude in my old neighborhood with a 430 with a bikerack on top of it and I will forever think that man is a legend
@@sammooresphoto you make room haha
I am stunned what car it is and you made one amazing video! Love it, thanks Sam and wish your youtube will start growing cause you desirve it!
This is a replica? Could have fooled me, it looks like a 1:1 exact copy....amazing engineering!
That was the most enjoyable video I've seen in years. It speaks for itself. Thanks man.
Wow.
Sam: I'm selling my F40, guess what I'm buying?!?
i love mine, its like being in a jet plane,
Great video and review Sam, only money prevents me from buying it and what a bargain with respect to an original.......the noise is amazing, you must have seen Derek Hill’s video in a 250 GTO, 7 minutes of bliss, thank you so much for this .....

The giggles and smiles say it all! Sold!!!!
I think it’s fair to say you enjoyed driving that 👍🏻👍🏻😂
Very fair to say
It’s an absolutely stunning car ,it sounds magnificent!
I need this in my life just to look at it everyday
That’s a hell of a car and a great podcast 🍻

You need to find the world's longest tunnel!
Who won't fall in love with the finest and most fabulous Ferrari of all time?
What a gorgeous masterpieces
Wow, just wow!! This is a special car, great video
NOW we're talkin'
Sam.. You lucky bastard .. I’m jealous what a beautiful car 😊
If I could have any Ferrari this would be it. It will never happen, which makes me sad, but oh what a dream.
the starter was NOT happy 😅
Awesome to see your reaction to the noise! I would be as giddy as a school boy too!
Would have really loved to have more info about it and a little bit more of an explanation of why it was so hilarious to drive...
Giorgio Napoli It really is an experience you'll get nowhere else. The sounds, the vibrations, the view over that beautifully shaped front end, ...
To really feel exactly as he did you'll have to try it yourself
EPIC car
is this the car Ted Gushue made photo's of in LA?
May I trade my family for this jewel?🤤😍🏎
Love the starter gear noise that ring like Alice Cooper’s School’s Out song beginning 🎶🎵🎶
Love the headrests too 🙃
we don't need 3 ipods and digital complications to drive, just need a REAL CAR...
That sound! YES PLEASE!!!
Would have liked to have seen under the hood. Amazing that it's Road legal, what a noise.
I really love this car and this modern build by GTO Engineering, but what about Ferrari and its lawyers? They usually don't love "replicas" o other kind of reproduction.
The laugh, chuckle, chortle says it all!
Forget Viagra, this is better!!!
Oh, what is an NA-V12????
i need to recover from watching this guy drive😅
GTO are the boss.
Simply amazing, in black is very cool👍🔝👍!!!
That startup noise did not sound good xD
no it didn't......but maybe just a result of a very lightweight ring gear/flywheel assembly....??
It is nothing to worry about
Unreal.
Sometimes there are no words...
Chris Harris made this point, you don't need a million hp to have fun. You were having an absolute ball at well within nsl speeds. When is ferrari going to give us a 400-500hp, manual, and under 1200kg car?
If nothing else, the hp wars need to end
Incredible 👏🏾
Wow! I loved this video! What engine is in there? Thanks for sharing this
Super cool
Had the chance to sit in a real one and my face was exactly like urs @ 6:28
U lucky man!!!
And thats what its all about.
is it a real v12sound of ferrari?
very similar to nissan l28 or
l32 inline.
It's a known fact they build them from nothing.
Donor cars are also an option, but not the only option.
I think is more beauty than the 356 Daytona
lucky man 👍
6:25 Sam Moores later died in his sleep with this eternal facial expression.
How exactly are these road legal?
Think you have to have a Ferrari to start with, at least the registration!
Your reaction looks like someone that just went off a DMT trip. I wonder how that car should feel.
Do you like everything that's left hand drive?
😂 most definitely not but anything new that’s LHD only is probably quite extravagant
It would have been more useful if the car’s build specs were discussed and road dynamics conveyed beyond giggles, “oh wow”and “amazing”.
knowing how Ferrari cares about them image, I can't understand how come that they don't sue them to oblivion. BTW I have no problem with replica cars I was just wondering
This is down the road from my uncle, did you drive this around Wallingford?
i thought 250 swb were like 1.5 million
Hehello to youhoo tooooo buddy
Edemir Cabral Brasil the Best Car
I saw an original one for sale under 10K😎
Would love to watch the whole clip, but I can’t get past the Pratt/ Twat!
Time to trade in the F40?
I'd never pay that much for it, the side vent windows are not in place, it's a mess
So the car is not a Ferrari? Is like a copy? I mean is not made by Ferrari right?
That was sooooo brilliant! My dream car was always an F40 but now I am really questioning if this would be better? Would you sell yours to replace with a 250 rep????
No 😂, I guess the first question is if I sold the 40 what would I buy? I’d definitely have “a v12” but probably not this. Would rather a few cars instead
@@sammooresphoto yup lot of money tied up in one car! What would you get with £1M spread over several cars?
Sublime ❤️
Just mega!!!! How does it compare to your 911 backdate?
Good question. That car has been away for a while but I might need to put the loud pipes back on for a bit. The 911 is a much nicer driving experience just doesn’t quite deliver the adrenaline shot like the v12. Need to back to back both and would like to take the 250 on track 🤣
