BBC: I Have to Have a Ferrari - Clarkson's Car Years

[sysrq120]

I wonder how much it actually cost to make?

[sysrq120]

How much do these super cars actually cost to make?Must be a 50% profit at least.

[CLAUDIOZ06]

@sysrq120 I do not think their manufacturing cost would be 50%... probably 35% and I'm pretty sure their payroll takes about 10%

[FastFerrariF355]

I own a 1995 F355 Berlinetta. The 355 is the best sounding Ferrari ever produced. Service is very expensive on my red beast. I just had the timing belt done. Its an engine out service that cost me $13,000. Don't buy a Ferrari unless you can afford the mainenance.

[ajay999999]

I've just got to have one.......its that easy?

[Lightyy93]

@ajay999999 if you have clarkson's money, it is that easy:P

[hanmerdan]

1998 BMW 540i 6 speed the best family saloon the world has ever known! I can do doughnuts all the day long. Uncorked (no speed govener) 168 mph. Gota love it , all for $7000.00 canadian, 170,00km's sweet.

[eatingairplanes]

people spit on the car? damn pricks

[GuitarmasterSK]

i thought he was going to say "it can still electrocute every nerve ending..... in the world" :D

[thedylan3387]

RAPE to the joy fantastic RAPEapeape

[MrEpiciness]

@dacarfreak2000 tiff needel is a boss last episode i watched, he was just powerdrifting around the track in an ferrari 458 italia like he was going out for groceries :D

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

lol 90k pounds and dont get a radio.

[TheOneAndOnlyPoop1]

That thing makes the best noise... I have a crisis listening to it LMAO :D

[dragonvlv]

i love this model

[viktord1]

I think this is the sexiest car....in the world haha. Are those stock seats in it @ 4:00min?

[IThanatopsisI]

@viktord1 Those are specially ordered racing seats

standard seats dont have the lateral support

and have a bit more cushion padding

[dacarfreak2000]

You do know that the guy drifting the F355 was Tiff Needel who is the guy on Fifth Gear today.

[Adudethatlikesmusic]

i somehow got a f355 challenge by hotwheels and a convertible one

[Jazz4Joe]

Aaah, I'll take the Bugatti, for sure.

[theMstanglover]

@Jazz4Joe Then your mad for sure.

[MrJeanluc299]

les anglais sont sales ca on le savais !! la preuve !! il respecte rien meme pas une f 355 !!

[MrJeanluc299]

ferrari f 355 is the best  !!!

[downforcemedia]

Great video. Buying your first Ferrari is a great experience. In fact, I think that it is just as much about the buying process as it is about owning the car. It is to be savored. You must suspend reality and just give yourself to it. You have to disregard the naysayers about how much it costs to buy and run - because they are right. It is irresponsible and a more than a bit excessive. But It is just one of those things you have to take on pure passion. And it is worth every penny.

[TheItalianbigfoot]

mullet yes



[meplustofu]

Clarkson + Ferraris + Radiohead... too osm.

[rororooster]

I will buy one of these. I need it in my life.

[MasteratArms15490]

at 4:06 his fingers are all bandaged up from the roof!

[BunnyEloisaus915]

lool i love try new things and thats why im here

[KPKaccountt]

lol its worse in indonesia,u cant pass through the tight raods and the tall speedbumps,and people will scratch it and you will have diffuclties in finding friends because you're more wealthy

[djh29971]

Should of ordered one in TDF with creme hide. Red is well, a bit obvious... :)

[limchinhuang]

Tiff Gimbana

[MrKryptoweasel]

its that hair



[radar3699]

@malomator What no, the Mercedes SLS is his current favorite car.

[chris5701]

@radar3699 he has a new favorite every episode

[radar3699]

@chris5701 No, that is very incorrect. If you read his columns on topgear.com you can figure out everything about him. His favorite car was the Lamborghini gallardo (mainly the spyder) and now its the SLS AMG.

[chris5701]

@radar3699 he has said all the following as his favorite cars or the as best he's ever driven: ferrari 40, ferrari 355, ford gt 40(he bought the same one twice), lamborgini gallardo spyder( he didn't like the reg version as much), he said his life was shattered because he couldn't own a veyron, he also raved on about a VW golf he had,then he said the sls was his favorite, truth be told all he likes is "POWER"....as james would say.. my personal favorite car is the mclaren mp4-12c

[radar3699]

@chris5701 Precisely as I just stated, the SLS AMG is his current favorite car. Plus it is rumored that he ordered the convertible version. (Also i think your missing the Merc SL that he bought and was his favorite after he sold the 355) Currently the cars that he likes the most are the RR Evoque which was his car of the year, and the BMW 1M. I don't think he changes very often. Lots of other reviews change much more frequently.

[Betaops252]

@chris5701 I think you are completely correct, Clarkson has a new favorite car everytime he tests something that tingles his spine.

[Robs777]

@malomator Actually I think he's in love with the SLS now

[Ubiquidade]

@lfirt 0:53 radiohead - creep

[beatchlex]

Best Car ever!! I Tried a 355 F1. Something about Ferrari that other car makers like porsche cant give. You get adrenalin in your body only by looking at the car, and then when driving it, everything feels so alright!

[AndersO1983]

@beatchlex How do the F1 gears work? What I mean is, older versions of the Magnetti Marelli system were said to be unrefined and disrupting the perfomance a bit. Sadly, I've never driven a 355, so I wouldn't know. The Berlinetta version, without that silly top, is definetely the best looking.

[MrMohammed420]

this job seems amazing for one reason - cars like those keep getting better

[guridiable]

ITS USELESS!!!....................­.....BOOOOO!!!

[7heAre7s]

Why do Police pull you over because you have an excellent car like a Ferrari? Do they think you stole it or something? Or just want to look at it?

[BeyBattleZone]

@malomator 30 likes for 30 years later :|

[Punjabi192]

You can now buy one of these for $40,000!!!! I am actually thinking about getting one. . . it would be amazing! Me and my dad are splitting the cost of whatever car i choose, so this seems perfect.

[Punjabi192]

@Punjabi192 PS i am nearly 20. And i need some sort of car.

[DJMC5ive]

@Punjabi192 Sounds great man! Hope it brings you all the fun that I never got to have ! Go for it!

[Punjabi192]

@DJMC5ive I am not so sure now, because italian super cars are not known for relability. And its not that expensive, so if i were you i would go and try to buy one. I mean a 10 year old 360 is 60,000. newer Ferraris are for me, they just dont look that good, everything after the 360 was kind of bland.

[loricahse5555]

lool Be kind and nice with me and I will be with you

[water2wine638]

Anyone else see the speedo read 10mph when its parked?

[VaiographyCA]

0.35 eargasm...

[jordangrant1989]

fuck these fucking adverts, cunt bags!

[copali]

i think this is the best F355 vid, thank you!! 

[DFDYoung]

4:48 smokey!

[Matthew05270]

[SerenityBeast]

mk2 mr2 can replicate that ferrari.

[joyfulvulture]

355 = best sound ever

[davidrunnenburg]

lol the problem with a pension is it cant to this......4:36.. u can do that in a 1000 pound beamer

[derbigpr500]

Damn....going towards the Ferrari showroom knowing that you're gonna buy one must be a better feeling than ....anything.

[FastFerrariF355]

@derbigpr500 Yes the day I bought my 1995 F355 Berlinetta was utter bliss. Bought it in San Jose and blasted up the California coast. Hit 160mph on I-5. However servicing this car has been quite expensive.

[levlevi]

@derbigpr500 Personaly I believe that it is a lifetime achievement

[GM572]

Better off in an Escort Cosworth, mate....

[RyanWehr]

nice. " what thehell am i doing here??"

[NOXXism]

4:05 Look at his fingers AHAHAHAHA

[BobTheMillipede]

I've always hated 90s styling, and this is no exception. Put this next to the new Aston Martin Virage, and I know which one I'd choose on aesthetics alone.

[HachiZenki]

If you buy a 355 you're just a rich asshole. If you buy a 308 GTB then your a connoisseur.

[derbigpr500]

@HachiZenki Explain why you're a rich asshole if you buy a 355.... ? If thats the case, then you're a poor , even bigger asshole.

[mainminevin]

what is the song at 2:27 ?

[JosieJo2000]

@mainminevin It's Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic by Prince

[mainminevin]

@JosieJo2000 thx =D

[RD19902010]

they havent seen my pension yet lol

[The0rangePanda]

Germans might make better cars

But Italians make better cars, if you know what I mean

[lolreallylongusernam]

Sebastian Vettel and 1990's Jeromy Clarkson look very similiar

[rzxc100]

0:01

[Theninja114]

Italians know how to make a car, god damn

[sgtmjames]

i must have one

[rjtremor]

Jeremy's hair at the beginning. That's all that needs to be said.

[MrMohammed420]

this is one of my favourite ferrari's

[What0TheDeuce]

This is the best car (pause for 2 seconds) in the world.

[ChrisMolyneaux93]

@What0TheDeuce Don't forget "EVER."

[NaeJoy]

@126anonymous You obviously don't know what a chav or a ned is...

[Macwylee]

@NaeJoy What is a chav and a ned?

[NaeJoy]

@Macwylee I see you are from the US so easiest way to explain it is a wannabe gangster with extremely low intelligence that goes about causing shit for fun!

[TrollmorDestroyer]

whats the name of the song starting at 2:28 ?

[vilemjuranek]

@TrollmorDestroyer It´s "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic" by Prince

[TrollmorDestroyer]

@vilemjuranek Thanks!

[CSzezerense]

That really is one of the all time greatest cars ever made. It could well become my favourite car.

[s0nnyburnett]

> complaining about your Ferrari

OH BOOHOO

[NoizyWun]

lmfaoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! oh man im crying in laughter..

[Macwylee]

What year was this video made?

[KevinPhetrasi]

@Macwylee 2008 bro



[hellzdk1]

love the song



[gardnerbm]

He should have bought a corvette

[CantPickATopic]

@gardnerbm Why?

[gardnerbm]

@CantPickATopic He complains about the ferrari being impractical, the corvette is fun and can be driven everyday. oh and its cheaper. personally id have a f355 for garage furniture.

[shobin05]

@gardnerbm back then the C6 didnt exist and the old vettes are pretty but horrible to drive...just like lambos of old days too...

[tyost5687]

Tiff doing donuts in Jeremy's Ferrari, awesome!

[TeddyGrahamFreak]

sorry. 3:24

[TeddyGrahamFreak]

at 3:26, the speedometer is at 12mph when he is at a standstill. :)

[RFresh41]

If Clarkson was president of the FIA woooooow, too awesome to even comprehend.

[SeanBrooksy90]

:O is that the stig at 4:35 ?

[vidmam155]

whats with his hair

[LukaSandahl]

@vidmam155 Mid life crisis.

haha.

[debilarnold]

who noticed that at 4:05 after removing the roof, he has gauze on all of his fingers?

[aaronpapanos]

When Jeremy goes to tokyo I bet everyone yells 'Godzilla!'

[askk1996]

thumbs up if you have noticed the broken speedo in 3:24

[mikeb1444]

@askk1996

The speedo isn't broken. When the F355 is at a stop, it is secretly moving.

[tarantoo]

@askk1996

This is why we all call americans stupid... because you are.. its a damn fact... and speedo is not broken, some speedos are designed on diferent vehicles that the min speed is set like 20, or 15, or 10 mph, and the needle od speedo is resting on somekind of boundary, english is not my language so i dont know the proper word.. but if you look it carefully you'll see it...

[m311296]

@tarantoo

now hold on asshole foreigner,you're being discriminative and a bitch for no fucking reason

and you come up with this bullshit theory on a broken spedometer

but its ok nobody likes you anyway...

[tarantoo]

@m311296

C'mon please... now you are proven stupid... google for speedo pictures od ferrari 355 you'll see.. and there are numerous cars and motorcicles scooters tractors and what not that have speedos like that constructed... and now go cry, and think before speak

[m311296]

@tarantoo

I dont speak, I type dickhead.

[tarantoo]

@m311296

go drive your 3 speed automatic 999999999999999999cc 50 hp car... and yeah chopper chromed out hahahaha... only in america... all you know is chrome and big useless engine. while we get like 350hp with 2000ccm -> subaru imprezza, you cant get 300hp od 7000ccm.... As I told you before you are stupid dumb ass nation fat and ugly

[m311296]

@tarantoo

dude im european we have zze german technic here oh and i have and my parents have an audi a5 3.0

and american cars have huge angines shitloads of power but theyre slow and dont have a high topspeed but they do have a nice sound though ;D

[kens97sto171]

@tarantoo

There has not been a 3 Speed transmission here in 30yrs, And the Subaru Impreza STI is making 305HP from 2500ccm. We build the Subaru Legacy, Outback, and Tribeca here in the USA. Most of the big engine cars like the Mustang 5000ccm, and Camaro 6200ccm. Are making 420HP+. and still deliver 25+MPG. The V6 version of both of those cars are making 300HP+ and getting 30+MPG. I prefer Japanese cars personally. But The new Mustang and Camaro are pretty nice.

[askk1996]

@tarantoo I am not an american you stupid idiot. I am European. and the next time try to put your little tiny brain to work before you type anything similar. k0l0m0un@r@

[leprincede3]

They are 58 Toyota drivers.....

[CamaroAmx]

I drove a Ferarri 360 Mondea (sp) once. I used to work at an insurance company auction and it came in as a fire damage. It thankfuly just a small interior fire and the car was still drivable. I quite enjoyed it. But since I'll never be able to afford a Ferarri of any model (or any other supercar/exotic), It was sad to see it go.

[CleverDjembe]

@CamaroAmx

did you catch interest of female when drive ferrari, eeh, ehhh? :DDDDD

[YoLiGe]

YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A PRIUS :D

[metamaggot]

i wonder what the 5th valve per cyinder does...exhaust or admission?

[carsandclips1]

Did he sell it at the end?

[Molo9000]

@carsandclips1

I think he sold it for a AMG tuned Mercedes SL.

[bingrasm]

is a bit unpowered for todays ferrari's but still is a beauty

[mstrgraff]

Who is driving the car? Could that be the old stig???

[chris5701]

to get on a ferrari you have to get on your knees, beg then pay the same price as if it were a house

[miraxell]

Its USELEESSSSS!!! BOOOO!!!! lol

[equinoxdbz]

There is nothing like watching something with Jeremy Clarkson and Prince in the same video Lol

[YaniT991]

Harrrrrrrrr, back when J had a curly mullett and looked like he wore mascara!!

[topgearballer]

luv all hes stuff................1luv

[rock3tcat]

Lolling at Tiff Needell trashing Jeremy's car...

[DyeTyme]

@rock3tcat i've seen this video 4-5 times and i just noticed that it was tiff

[rtardbox]

2:28 Let the gay music begin :( ick

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]

"Ferrari doesn't always get it right..." yea, neither dose YouTube... Load the fucking video already pl0x >:3 

[bigblackbadbrother]

I had the GTS a few years back. Agree - a great car, but on long journeys, the offset pedals made it a little uncomfortable. The Carrera 997S was the replacement. Now have kids, so a baby carrier for a few years before investing in a more up to date Fezza.

[Thedongiordano]

Ggggggg... Gggggr ggggrRED!!!!! hahahah

[Ornothrus]

OMG. He has... HAIR

[xxGitty101xx]

Jezza for PM.

[TheLouisCL]

No 56 Lamborghini owners wear killed buy Ferrari owners. Lol well I'm not killed yet

[santapaella]

56 people owned an f355

[upernoob]

1:35 press pause and thumbs up if it looks funny

[arroyoemilio]

how many times in history he said "this is the best time I ever driven"?? jaja

[TheChannelFooty]

Jeremy Clarkson for Transport Minister!

[pizzapingvin]

This truly is a beautiful car with an amazing engine. I prefer the styling over many newer models. I just never wouldve opted for these sport seats, the regular ones seem sporty enough. These ones look like they turn it from a fast car you can use everyday to a weekend "I need to stretch my back" car.

[cb7pwn]

thats actually fast lol. my truck took 4 months to build new..

[juiced2death]

wtf 6 months later wow that long

[woodzo40]

they cont do this.lol.

[GamertownUSA]

Is he serious? People spit in his Ferrari?

[pitolove71]

I can't believe a word this guy says. In almost all of the episodes he says, this is absolutely the best car I've driven--ever! Or this year.

[TheHockeyfreak1964]

@pitolove71 ha next episode he says the same thing again this is the best car i've ever driven

[bonzie1645]

@pitolove71 he changed his mind when he drove the 458 italia... he also think the 458 was better than the f40.

[jimmybrite]

It only took audi, bmw and others 10 years to get their V8's to rev as high as this Ferrari.

[Boniti1]

The length of this video is 4:58... Haha

[kotg0903]

@Boniti1 lol thats awkwardly awesome

[xXvengeZz]

@Boniti1 i dont get it

[FlyingBoxHead]

@xXvengeZz *facepalm* 458 Italia ring any bells?Ferrari's newest model.

[xXvengeZz]

@FlyingBoxHead oh lol

[akirakimura2088]

Clarkson kneels down to sign the papers, Hammond would've needed a booster.

[megaprtscr]

Pimps/Playboys car,if you want street cred get an Aston Martin.I bet the pr of Italy picks ups under aged pros in a Ferrari.

[QL7176]

I love Ferrari but the only model I would buy would be the F355 gts manual cuz I just hate automatics or any other that isnt manual.

[Jonneymarket]

He was so young in this episode! I also chucked when he said, "This is the most expensive car I've ever driven."

[freegamingsolutions]

JEREMY HAS HAIR!!!!

[paulhojda]

anyone knows what the song at 2:30 is called?

[ambush1242]

radiohead!

[43447]

Still one of the best sounding Ferrari's

[McLarenMercedes]

@43447

Nah. I agree it's one of the best looking Ferrari's.

A Ferrari should have a V12 though, and those Boxer 12's of the 70's sounded the best both in their roadcars and in their racecars.

[43447]

@McLarenMercedes It's surely one of the best looking Ferrari's.

For me it's hard to say what's the best sounding Ferrari, that's actually why I said;''The F355 is still 'one of the' best sounding Ferrari's.

In my opinion or better said in my top 5, the F355 has a good place.

Same as the 360 Modena a real screamer!

Also the Testarossa/512TR/M still really gives me inches of gooseskin when the give full trottle.

And that's one of the engine types you called.

Also the 512BB has a real beasty sound.

[cloneemil]

its wrong what he said at 4:37 cause you can do that in any rear wheel drive car that has over 200horsepower

[paintballgundown8]

when i grow up i want to be a Jeremy Clarkson

[AnExLeftist]

@paintballgundown8 when Jeremy clarkson grows up he wants to be............?

[LepostiPole2]

@paintballgundown8 you are really fucked up!

[Josh1901]

my favourite ferrari :)

[vanquish649]

anyone else notice the video is 4:58 long(ferrari 458)

[Slessi]

@vanquish649 omfg subliminal messaging those BASTARDS
