  • How many times can I watch this video in a day? Let's find out...

  • ....Fuck the 99%! I want to be in the 1%!

  • what a life

  • Damn it sucks being poor.

  • Nice Panerai :D

  • "the noise"...."that drone".......that's called MUSIC....smh

  • I would've at least had a bit of carbon in it! It's 1 of 80!

  • Both of those cars are painfully ugly. Ferrari has no style, except for the 458.

  • @archon808 Ferrari has no style expect for the 458 lol what utter nonsense. So you are saying 458 is better looking that a 355?

  • @mkuroglu Holy shitfuck ya a 458 is better looking than a 355. A 348 looks better then a 355. A Mondial looks better than a 355. Out of all the ferraris to try to counter my point, why did you choose the 355?

  • @archon808 hmmm that is an opinion.... but i suggest you go back and look at the 300, 330, the colossal 250 GTO, the Testarossa from 1955 and many many more... you wlll learn what style is... the 458 is form following function so is styled by aerodynamics alone.. no pencil, no craftsmanship.... just aerodynamics.

  • @jorgekontor You like the older ferraris, which i can respect. But from the maimi vice testarossa on, ferraris had no style. Even Clarkson on top gear said ferrari hasnt made a pretty ferrari in decades. I do like the 288GTO though. Gime me one of those!

  • @archon808 ok then we both agree :) plus the 288 GTO was in production when i was born... would be iconic :)

  • HARRY METCALFE IS THE BEST

  • the blue seat belts are in very good taste

  • Anybody notice 5:53

  • I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this video. Perfection.

  • Same engine as the GTO???

  • @25877852 Ferrari 599 GTO... You should know that pontiac gto was named after the first ferraris gtos

  • @25877852 same engine same exhausts, same gearbox this is 95 % of the GTO with the top off and a softer ride

  • Wow, what would something like that be worth? Seriously!?

  • @nathsgames the Sa Aperta can be anything from about 400 000 euros to 500 000 depending on the customization level, there are 2 for sale on James List... but they are P.O.R.

    i am thinking in rob a few banks or a diamonds mine so i can afford one.

  • Didn't know Ferrari allowed so much customer customization, really makes the car looks stunning. But the automatic kills the cool for me......

  • @WarpedHorizon yes high end brands like Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls Royce they all allow you to do anything within certain brand limits.

  • Good review.. Awesome car!

  • the 550?

  • @85funnyguy yeah its his

  • is the silver ferrari yours?

  • I just love that noise!!!!!

  • @NickGPcars friend is not noise... it is music... played by 12 cylinders ... Music....

  • @kotg0903. If you're talking about the SA Aperta it is, but you can't configure it :(

  • Why Ins't that car even one Ferraris Website?

  • @kotg0903 Because it's a custom built customer car...

  • @kotg0903 limited edition cars don't really go on general sale.

  • The rewards of success. See kids? This is why you stay in school and go to university.

  • what i llove in evo is that they drive them much more ang gets used to the cars before revieing them so they thel more than just the first impresion.

  • I hate this guy.

    He says at the end "I wish I was the owner"

    I couldn't give a shit!!! he has a job that offers him the most biblical experiences on the planet. Driving the ultimate dream machines and yet he seems ungrateful.

    I wish I could have your job, I wouldn't be boverd about owning any of these cars then.

    All I want to do is drive them and review them.

  • @namybot From watching a lot of his videos, ungrateful would be one of the last words you would use to describe Harry Metcalfe. He goes out of his way to personally film all these videos for us to enjoy when he could very well just keep these experiences for himself. If anything, you're the ungrateful one.

  • @edihan He's a journalist, It's his job to make these videos or he gets no money.

    He doesn't go out of his way, he has too.

    I don't even know how he gets these opportunities, I guess I'm jealous.

    Only if I knew how I could get my hands on this job, I think I could do just as good of a job. " you're the ungrateful one"

    No I'm not ungrateful, I'm jealous.

  • the car at 2:07 nearly cut him off!

  • So much more technical than Top Gear reviews.....this is what car TV program should be.

  • @kensai69 well top gear is more of an entertainment show.....with cars....

  • @soubido

    The very first 3 seasons of the new Top Gear, they are still reviewing cars while being entertaining. Now, it's just bits and pieces of information on the car they are reviewing with crazy Clarkson-like comments.

  • @kensai69 I preffer top gear. Their reviews are more human.. I appreciate how witty and entertaining clarkson is. this guy doesnt seem to be embracing the fact that he is driving a beautiful ferrari through the back roads of Italy. He is more focused on the specs. ...and wouldnt that be great if we were all about to go buy one of these? ...lets be realistic here.

  • @kensai69 Top Gear isn't about cars, it never was since it came back on air .. But people don't watch top gear because they want to learn more about cars, then top gear would have 1/2 of the views they now have, if we want to learn more about cars we watch things like this and fifth gear, see my point ? Cheers :)

  • @YaniLovesTopGear

    It was always about cars, but they sway it in a way to a wider audience so that they can get more funding. It's like a converted artist drawing commercial posters

  • @kensai69 Yea I know what you mean but if Top Gear was about consumer advice, I wouldn't watch it anymore..

  • luckys bastards.. share?

  • i could listen to this guy all day, genuine passion and so informative great stuff.

  • He should present Top Gear! Great stuff!

  • @dontchuckitson He gives too much information to be on Top Gear, and not enough ambiguous metaphors.

  • @Cybergig00 I'd prefer to listen to him any day!

  • no break-in period?

  • @insertrollface I don't think they were pushing it that hard

  • Another fantastic video. As I stated in another comment, I've subscribed to evo for years, but these videos add a lot to the magazine. Your words really are superb and like you say, there's nothing quite like a V12 Ferrari. I like my tuned cars so I can achieve the acceleration of a supercar but the noise and driving experience a supercar gives you can't be replicated by normal cars and that's why I love them. Keep the videos coming so I can keep dreaming. :-)

  • Christ! that car nearly hit his 550 in the tunnel lol. looked like it was about to switch lanes

  • You sir, are a very lucky boy!

  • excellent video!!!

  • that guy has the craziest radio voice!!!!

  • Dear Santa...

  • Nice vids. If I had a Fiat, not sure if I would wanna bring it there lol

  • you are my favorite rich guy!!!

  • Comment removed

  • That is one priceless video.

  • nice panerai watch

  • why didnt he get the 458 spyder?

  • @CVasquez112 Because this is much much faster.

  • aren't you supposed to let the engine break-in for few thousand miles? without redlining it

  • @gunigugu1991

    Over the last 7-10 years Ferrari has offered the option to break in the engine prior to assembling and/or delivering the car.

  • 5 people are jealous

  • what a christmas present.. lol

  • god when harry was pulling out the first time i could just picture another car side swiping him

  • great video, i was glued to it the whole time

  • This and the SLR Stirling Moss are the 2 cars I want most for a sunny day... I can't really think of anything better.

  • Holy mother of god!

  • Just discovered the evotv channel. it,s absolutely brilliant just like the evo magazine. keep it up.

  • Nice car, but all that money spent -its the wrong color! Go Rosso Corsa/tan leather or go home on a car like this really!

  • Watch 8:05-8.08. About 3 second sums it all! Sound and accelation! It's amazing to see background appears accelerating so fast!

  • thats one ugly car

  • Thanks Harry, yet another brilliant video that gives us dreamers an insight into what it would be like to own one of these cars. If I win the lottery I'll get in touch and you can have a go in all the cars i buy. LOL

  • I would love to turn up in Marrenello in a Mclaren MP4-12C and see if they let me in. They wouldn't because it is faster than any current Ferrari. Facts are the facts people.

  • @peanuts2105 except when the facts are completely incorrect. The 599gto would tear the doors off an mp4-12c--it's a full 26 seconds faster around the Nurburgring--nearly HALF A MINUTE! Fact Checker Fail...

  • @acooper111982 Hang on. That was a Ferrari 599XX and that's not even road legal. We never saw a lap time of a GTO.

  • @AntoniusTyas You are correct, it is the 599XX and not the GTO, but he said faster than "any current Ferrari." He didn't say "road legal." Even so, the GTO is undoubtedly quicker than the MP4.

  • @acooper111982 It isn't 26 secs faster rofl... what are you smoking? No mainstream supercar is.

  • @blackvapour The 599XX, not the GTO. Sorry. But yes, it is 26 full seconds faster, and the FXX is also technically a production car. And the GTO is most assuredly faster than the MP4, though as it was pointed out to me, it hasn't done an official lap yet.

  • HOW DO I GET THIS JOB!!!!!!

  • Fantastic thing the 599 Aperta, but If I could choose, I'd take the 550...Ferraris of old somehow have a different aura on them. And the manual open-gate gears, that's a thing that they should have not dropped.

    Ferraris are about sensation, and too much modern stuff somehow bereft them of it.

    Still, thanks for this insight of this beaut!

  • The car is absolutely stunning in every aspect

  • beautiful car

  • Wow! I love this car. Sounds amazing

  • They only built 80? WTF!?

  • @SuperSixinches the car was made to celebrate 80 years of Pininfarina thus the name SA Aperta (Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina - Open Top)

  • Love these videos. Thanks Harry for another great one!

  • the noise at 8:05 !! wow that is awesome

  • Talk about having money and the best job in the world.

  • EVO tv, come on Harry, you know it makes sense. Legend!

  • I like the way Harry loves his car

  • At first I thought he's 2nd Clarkson, but oh, no!!! Harry is definitely more professional and is pure car enthusiast, petrolhead! Keep on going!

  • I LOVE YOU HARRY <3

  • **Note to self** Must work harder and earn more money in 2012.

    Fuck it. I'll rob a bank.

  • Love Harry's culture for motors. I think I love this car. I think I love Evo. I think Harry could be the perfect brother for me.

  • Lovely

  • Really nice interior. Elegant choice on the gloss black accents.

  • Very enjoyable. Nice of Mr Metcalfe to arrange to catch a glimpse of a rare Ferrari under even more rare circumstances -- and good manners to avoid being intrusive at the same time as sharing the experience.

  • Oh to be rich. The key is really shitty though. £300k+ and you start it with something that looks like it came from a happy meal.

  • @M5IAN

    That may be true... but then you hear the V12, and suddenly the cheap looking key doesn't really matter.

  • I also wish i am an owner!

  • I do like the Mansory conversion. Its a bit loud but Mansory produce one of the better looking 599's.

  • (: D

  • May not own that Aperta Harry but you do have a 550. Not a bad consolation by anybodys standards.

  • @Cis4Chun he also has a pagani zonda.... :D yeh he's not doing too bad

  • The guy who made the bespoke order really had a sense of style. I first saw it blue and thought "what on earth have you done to it", but as Harry zoomed in around the details I was amazed

  • If I had that car the "loud exhaust drone" would be the last thing on my mind....

  • PLEASE SANTA I WAS A GOOD BOY.

  • That car is Absolutely Beautiful. They are Definately living the dream.

    Green with envy!

  • You can see a man has got class when you see him wearing a Persol.

  • god I love these vids, proper passion shared with us poorer folks

  • I would want to see its roof up because it's always not there is the media. BTW coming out of the factory just now when the car was already introduced some years ago, is slow.

  • Comment removed

  • the engine sound is so cool~~~ sounds like driving a F1 

  • I can`t help but wonder if in 30 or 40 yrs this car will be worth MORE or less due to the right hand drive.Because 1 thing is 4 sure.This is a future collectors car.The 250 GTO`s and Ferraris of old most were right hand drive weren\t they?Enzo buildt them that way to easier "kiss the apex"?

  • You can see the smirk on harry's face first thing in the morning - on days like these.... on days like these.

  • LOL The guy in the C3 almost crashes into poor harry's ferrari

  • Nice review Harry!

  • Nice Panerai, Harry. Dammit, not only does he have sick cars, he's got sick watches too.

  • The Aperta isn't his people...

  • i fuckin hate yu harry metcalf u rich old bugga

  • Bello!

  • is there a break in schedule for new ferrari's?

  • Hey he's actually really cool and not a stuck up rich guy

  • nice review harry keep them coming

  • @ 7:55....

  • At least Ferrari gets it right and the paddles don't move. Street cars must be driven shuffle handed on racetracks unlike formula cars with their ultra fast steering racks.

  • hey Harry, buy a vidcam with stabilizer will ya,,,!!!

  • The 550 is more beautiful and the 599 just sounds wonderful. And you have both. Wow.

  • special car... huh?

  • He almost lost it at 2:06 because of that stupid C3 driver.

  • i like that guy

  • I wonder what Harry thought seeing the ff at marenello considering he cancelled his order.....

  • Nice work Harry!

  • Ok… Where do I send my CV Harry / EVO?

  • who is this guy seems to have a shit load of cool cars

  • @Mauivavi

    Harry is the founder of Evo.

  • 550 is better looking imo

  • Ferrari FF. I really need to get a job at EVO.

  • What was the red ferrari at the start at the dealer?

  • @nigz55 ff

  • Me too Harry, and I.

  • bucket seats look god like

  • Right... so how long before Harry get's one? I get the feeling he's thinking it over at the end there :P

  • @SHates it's gonna be pretty hard (and very expensive) to get one. only 80 built. there are going to be MASSIVE markeups on the used ones.

  • Hate the wheel on it!

  • i think harry should be part of top gear, kick Richard Hamond out

  • I love these Evo's diaries reviews...amazing

  • fantastic car

  • Been to florence once, and your friend really seems to have a beautiful house in an absolutely beautiful environment. I just love it there.. And to think he tops it off with an SA aperta..

  • scroll up or ull miss the video

  • So its a conververtible 599 GTO?

  • The man's got taste!

  • The diaries from Harry and the test drives with Chris Harris are probably the best car video's on youtube. They definitely should do a lot more of these videos!

  • @fwijffels

    agreed !

  • Amazing car and nice to see someone personalise a Ferrari and make it look good instead of garish. And then there's the sound

  • Its stupid driving like that citreon at 2:07 that causes most crashes and they make it out that its speeding

  • It has the GTO front, it needs also the GTO rear.

  • @TheCruizer it does have the GTO noise and exhaust pipes and diffuser... and the GTO-style rear wing...

  • @MultiTopgearfan: Wrong! Take a closer look!

  • This guy actually makes very good reviews, and hes just ... nice ... Still, in that spec, such a awesome car.

  • 8:03 could listen to that rev all day

  • A GTO with the roof down - could life get any better?

  • @MinaBassilious yeah, they could do pushrod suspension instead of the regular up and down assembly cause pushrod suspension is the newer standard

    surely Ferrari would adopt that new engineering.. Ferrari I read said they wouldn't make AWD and they did with the FF so eventually all supercar manufacturers would have pushrod suspension

  • @AntDX316 Pushrod suspension - That was developed in F1 wasn't it? Lamborghini uses it in the Aventador. A drop top of that would be heaven as well. If you had a car like a 599 I'm not sure you would care about the type of technology in the suspension unless the ride quality was unbearable.

  • @MinaBassilious push rod is in the Koenigseggs and the One-77, only the ignorant ppl think Aventador is the only car non F1 that uses a pushrod suspension

  • @AntDX316 I guess I'm ignorant then...
