• 0:00
  As part of Ferrari Fridays, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace
• 0:04
  will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live
• 0:07
  and breathe the Ferrari brand.
• 0:09
  Topics range from road cars to racing, drivers to owners, as well
• 0:13
  as auctions, private sales, and trends in the collector market.
• 0:25
  Hello everyone and welcome back to the Ferrari Marketplace channel.
• 0:30
  Yes, it's been a while.
• 0:31
  Yes, I apologize.
• 0:33
  Yes, I know I said I was going to have a lot more stuff coming, but you know what?
• 0:36
  I got crazy busy.
• 0:37
  So, now that the temperatures are cooling, I'm going to I have
• 0:41
  some free time, so to speak.
• 0:43
  I guess that's kind of maybe not so true, but now that I'm going to be
• 0:47
  indoors a lot more, uh, I have the time and we can start nailing out some
• 0:51
  more of these podcasts to keep you guys entertained throughout the winter.
• 0:54
  Because as we all know, especially up here in the north, northeast, northwest,
• 0:58
  it gets cold, it gets snowy, and you really can't take your cars out unless
• 1:03
  you're a maniac, got all wheel drive, or you just want to have some fun.
• 1:06
  But why not?
• 1:07
  You know what?
• 1:07
  It's a car.
• 1:08
  Car's a car, right?
• 1:09
  So, but anyways, really want to welcome everyone back.
• 1:12
  I appreciate you guys listening.
• 1:13
  We appreciate all the support we're getting.
• 1:16
  Big shout out to the motoring podcast network.
• 1:19
  Big shout out to the exotic car marketplace.
• 1:21
  Big shout out to the garage style magazine.
• 1:23
  Really big shout out to Mr.
• 1:25
  Beaty and Slot Mods if you haven't checked out Slot Mods check out the
• 1:28
  video just did on it We dropped it.
• 1:30
  It's on the channel on the Garage 65 channel and also to Hot Shoe Studios
• 1:35
  to Tony Thank you very much my man.
• 1:38
  But anyways, onward and upward Today's episode we are talking about the one the
• 1:45
  only the successor The one in the lineage of many, many cars that Ferrari's put out.
• 1:51
  The 288 GTO, F40, F50, then we went into the Enzo, then the
• 1:58
  LaFerrari, and now what do we have?
• 2:00
  Thrrrrrrr Double!
• 2:02
  The F 80.
• 2:03
  Yes.
• 2:04
  Ferrari dropped their newest and latest hypercar today, the Ferrari F
• 2:09
  80, keeping in line with kind of how all the names go, which I really like.
• 2:13
  You know, they could have came up with some goofy name, like La
• 2:16
  Ferrari, Ferrari, the Ferrari, which it kind of grows on you.
• 2:20
  But anyways, I, I like that going kind of at 40.
• 2:23
  F50.
• 2:25
  Bam.
• 2:25
  Let's go with F80.
• 2:26
  Yeah, you got a couple in there in between, but I like the continuation
• 2:29
  and keeping that lineage going.
• 2:31
  I really, I kind of dig it.
• 2:32
  So, anyways, first impressions, me personally, love it.
• 2:37
  I think the thing is awesome.
• 2:39
  It, uh, doesn't, you know, I guess if you look a lot of these hyper cars
• 2:43
  that come out, you know, they all have the same look to them, the same
• 2:47
  kind of style, everything like that.
• 2:49
  Now, of course, you have to understand, as everyone knows, a lot of these, the design
• 2:53
  aspect of things is aerodynamic driven.
• 2:56
  So you kind of have to all of a sudden reverse engineer, so to speak
• 3:00
  about your aerodynamics, what do you want to achieve performance wise?
• 3:03
  So then what do you do?
• 3:04
  Okay, here's what we want to achieve.
• 3:06
  Okay.
• 3:06
  What do we need to do?
• 3:07
  Drag all that kind of stuff.
• 3:08
  So, but what I really, really dig and you can see it as soon as you,
• 3:11
  you know, when you start looking at it, get those first images.
• 3:15
  It's not, I want to say you're spitting, you know, image replica of it, but you
• 3:18
  can see the heavy, heavy, heavy influence.
• 3:21
  The Le Mans winning 499 car has on it.
• 3:25
  It's got that it's, it's low, it's why the cockpit's a little bit more
• 3:29
  narrow than the body, you know, it's not going out to the edges.
• 3:32
  It's got a really, really cool look to it.
• 3:34
  I really dig it.
• 3:35
  It's definitely going to stand out when wherever at the lucky
• 3:39
  bastards that get to buy one.
• 3:41
  Uh, hopefully they drive them and take them out.
• 3:43
  Uh, but you know, it's just got a really.
• 3:46
  Really muscular mean look to it when you're staring at it.
• 3:49
  You know, it's uh, the silhouette and everything like that It's
• 3:52
  just got that very 499 esque look to it, which is really cool.
• 3:56
  Now the one thing you will see in the front They kind of pull it
• 3:59
  off of the new 12 cylinder If I pronounce that right, probably not.
• 4:03
  But anyways, they got that dark color, the band going across to replicate
• 4:08
  from the Daytona back in the day, which had just kind of a tidbit.
• 4:12
  Everyone else, it was never officially called the Daytona from the factory.
• 4:17
  The writers and media nicknamed that and dubbed it the Daytona after
• 4:21
  obviously the 24 hours Daytona and it competing it and saw it actually,
• 4:25
  that thing came out of the factory.
• 4:26
  It was just a three 65.
• 4:27
  So, but.
• 4:29
  Media dubbed it so but anyways you look at the front and you'll see
• 4:31
  they're going across and for those of you that don't know that going across
• 4:36
  what happened was or what it is is the European cars that were built or when
• 4:40
  they built the 365 that actually the designer they put as a plexiglass it
• 4:45
  went all the way across it was clear and actually put these really cool like
• 4:48
  little lines and everything like that.
• 4:50
  You check it out because you know, the headlights were reset,
• 4:53
  recessed in to the front there.
• 4:56
  So the plexiglass went all the way across the front.
• 4:58
  So that's where they look.
• 4:59
  But the problem was is here in the, uh, old lucky USA we are because the morons
• 5:04
  in, uh, the, uh, in Washington DC decided, Oh no, you know, your headlights are too
• 5:10
  low, whatnot, because your headlights had to be a certain height or like that.
• 5:13
  So.
• 5:14
  The 365 and that stuff here is they were pop ups.
• 5:17
  So once they popped up, they met the minimum requirement for height wise.
• 5:20
  So to kind of get that same look, you know, they would paint that, that color
• 5:24
  or whatnot to kind of give it that look.
• 5:26
  So hence that's why.
• 5:27
  But anyways, back to the F80.
• 5:29
  So you look at the front.
• 5:30
  You know, it's really cool and obviously there's a lot of the active aero going on.
• 5:33
  There's a lot of that, you know, going, but you know, it's, it's
• 5:36
  not, it doesn't jump out at you.
• 5:38
  It doesn't have like all these little flap things and all this stuff like that.
• 5:40
  It's all kind of tucked underneath the nose and that.
• 5:42
  So which is really cool.
• 5:43
  And a lot of stuff's underneath.
• 5:45
  So it's not really kind of overpowering the car having all these little, Doodads
• 5:49
  and gadgets and whatnot on the front and all these little lines breaking
• 5:53
  up the whole, I guess you'd say, view of it because you got all these little
• 5:56
  flaps popping up and into that stuff, you know, a la, like, if you look at
• 6:00
  Pagani's and whatnot like that, you know, they got all these flaps that pop up
• 6:03
  and everything like that to help control it, uh, aerodynamics and that, but the
• 6:06
  problem is it really kind of messes up the lines, but that's just me personally.
• 6:10
  So, now going around, like I said, the, you know, the, uh, The
• 6:13
  greenhouse you got the cockpit.
• 6:15
  It's really cool.
• 6:16
  How it's kind of shrunk into the car I guess you don't speak so you got shoulders
• 6:21
  to it going all the way down So it's not like you have smooth on the side It's
• 6:24
  really neat and then when you open up the doors, you'll see the tub to it Which is
• 6:27
  really really cool get ahead of myself though because that's we're getting in
• 6:30
  the interior But the only one drawback I have with this when you get into the back
• 6:35
  gas and looking at it It looks like a C8.
• 6:39
  Yes, it does.
• 6:40
  It's one of my first impressions.
• 6:41
  I saw it go.
• 6:42
  Wow, that looks very C8 ish Um, I think there could have been something they could
• 6:47
  have done with the lights maybe Uh, the taillights something along those lines
• 6:52
  kind of get it away, but it's got a very very far Chevrolet C8 esque look to it.
• 6:59
  Now that's just me I don't know.
• 7:01
  And it's kind of one of those things.
• 7:01
  Now I mentioned it whatnot.
• 7:02
  People can't, can't unsee it.
• 7:04
  That's kind of like that new Bugatti turbulent lawn, whatever it is.
• 7:08
  If you look at it, put it up next to a pig snout, take a picture of a pig in a
• 7:12
  snout, put up the new Bugatti next to it.
• 7:14
  You cannot unsee that.
• 7:16
  It looks like a pig snout.
• 7:17
  So, but anyways, so it's very CA desk.
• 7:19
  So, but it still looks damn sexy.
• 7:21
  And again, that back wing is active arrow.
• 7:24
  So it's going to either, you know, for breaking, it's going to be an airbrake.
• 7:29
  It's going to tilt down.
• 7:30
  It's going to level out for top speed, everything like that and go around.
• 7:33
  So it's really cool.
• 7:35
  It's neat tricks.
• 7:36
  This is obviously the.
• 7:37
  The, uh, generation or genre or whatever you wanna call it, the uh, what the, what
• 7:42
  we're in now with all the electronics and everything on these cars, you know,
• 7:47
  and it just, you know what, it just kind of scares me down the road though.
• 7:50
  I'll be dead.
• 7:51
  So, um, but people that are gonna have to deal with this, you know, you
• 7:56
  look at your, your pre-war car, your brass air cars, you stuff all the
• 7:59
  way up to the, you know, eighties, even into the nineties, you know.
• 8:02
  You can still work on them yourself technically, because it was very
• 8:05
  basically your straightforward car.
• 8:07
  You know, you started getting into having, you know, your on board
• 8:10
  computer to do diagnostics and that, but it was super, super basic.
• 8:13
  So you could still work on the car yourself.
• 8:16
  Get in there with the wrench and ratchet and all that.
• 8:17
  These cars this day and age, starting in the 2000s and whatnot, forget
• 8:20
  about it, because you'll screw it up.
• 8:21
  And, uh, obviously, that's almost done, like, yeah, you're gonna
• 8:26
  get for performance and whatnot.
• 8:27
  Yeah, it's supposed to, you know, improve things, but it goes along the
• 8:31
  lines where these, Manufacturers want to control every aspect of these cars,
• 8:36
  you know, not just selling it, but then after sale maintenance, everything
• 8:39
  like that, beyond warranty and stuff, because you have some of these guys,
• 8:43
  well, the warranty will get voided if you don't take it to an authorized dealer.
• 8:48
  Which is insane.
• 8:49
  I mean, that's just, I don't know.
• 8:51
  I just don't understand that, you know?
• 8:53
  And so, but anyway, so look at the car back to the F80.
• 8:56
  So exterior wise, everything like that.
• 8:59
  It's stunning.
• 9:00
  I really like it.
• 9:01
  I'm sure there's going to be other people that hate it, but that's all it is because
• 9:03
  everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
• 9:05
  But I said, like I said, I really liked the fact is it's separating
• 9:10
  itself away from what some of these other ones have come out with.
• 9:12
  Now the AMG one, Came out so to speak recently, but IE that means it was, you
• 9:17
  know, customer deliveries, but we've been seeing that car since what, 2017.
• 9:21
  Um, you know, McLaren just came out with the W1, but they kind
• 9:27
  of mismatched in there the Senna.
• 9:30
  And the 750 and whatnot.
• 9:33
  So you can see a lot of influences there.
• 9:35
  So, but McLaren, technologically great car performance, everything like that.
• 9:39
  But, you know, there's a reason they're nicknamed McCarrens.
• 9:43
  So, um, but you know, so that's what I really love about the Ferrari.
• 9:46
  It's kind of separating itself away from it.
• 9:50
  Big jump, big step away from LaFerrari itself too, which is great to see.
• 9:55
  Now, supposedly Porsche is coming out with also another one here somewhere.
• 9:58
  It's kind of, you know, um, I really haven't heard much about it.
• 10:02
  Maybe you guys have, but supposedly Porsche also is coming out.
• 10:06
  Now it's interesting to see what Lamborghini is going to do.
• 10:09
  Cause now obviously Lamborghini has got their Rovalto.
• 10:12
  It's awesome car.
• 10:14
  Um, to having some gremlin issues, a little, you know, stuff like that,
• 10:17
  growing pains to be in a new car.
• 10:18
  But, with them entering into the WEC next year, you almost gotta wonder, are they
• 10:26
  gonna drop some sort of hyper, hyper car?
• 10:30
  On the public, you know, something to go online to what they have that we see.
• 10:34
  So it'd be interesting to see that would be really cool to see Lamborghini
• 10:37
  jump into that hyper car game.
• 10:39
  Um, you know, for what they build, because, you know, they like to
• 10:43
  really, I would say, break the mold, but push the boundaries, you know, and
• 10:47
  get very bold and daring with their designs or they, which is fantastic.
• 10:50
  Um, you know, but here's the thing, like with the Ferrari, every like,
• 10:55
  you know, these things, they're all going to smaller motors and
• 10:57
  turbos and everything like that.
• 10:58
  So, Let's get into the F80 and it's mechanicals.
• 11:02
  So we got going on there.
• 11:05
  Yes, sadly it is a v6 So, no V12, no V10, no V8.
• 11:11
  Yes, it is a twin turbo V6.
• 11:14
  Now, the one cool thing about this is, it's basically the same motor that is
• 11:20
  in the 296 that just came out, which is an impressive, impressive car.
• 11:25
  Obviously, you know, it's still half a million dollars, but what
• 11:27
  you get power and performance wise out of that V6 is unbelievable.
• 11:30
  So, it's, obviously, it's running the twin turbos, but
• 11:33
  the twin turbos are electronic.
• 11:36
  So, they have electric power to spool them up quicker.
• 11:41
  So basically it, I'm not going to say a hundred percent.
• 11:44
  It completely eliminates turbo lag, but it's pretty dang close that you really
• 11:49
  even, you know, normal person driving it.
• 11:52
  They won't even know that there's any lag or what's in that.
• 11:54
  Now you can get your guys out there that used to driving performance cars,
• 11:56
  race cars, they might feel that little twinge in their foot and whatnot, but
• 12:00
  you know, they race cars and they, they, every little slight thing, You
• 12:04
  know, they're bred to know that, but no person driving this, you know, and
• 12:10
  the, uh, the twat that can afford it to buy it, you know, the, you know, uh,
• 12:16
  he won't know because it's clueless.
• 12:19
  So, you know, he might drive the thing 500 feet, you know, just
• 12:23
  to say, look at me, I own this.
• 12:24
  He'll drive it from where it was, comes off to the, uh, transporter
• 12:27
  under the show field, or even if that may not even drive at 10 feet.
• 12:31
  So.
• 12:33
  That's sad, but it is what it is.
• 12:34
  It's where we live in cars, 3 million plus.
• 12:37
  So obviously you gotta have very, very deep pockets for this.
• 12:39
  People that buy this car obviously had to be selected by Ferrari.
• 12:43
  So individuals that are selected to buy this car obviously have
• 12:48
  many, many, many other Ferraris.
• 12:50
  I'll give you a point.
• 12:51
  In fact, Mr.
• 12:52
  David Lee, love that guy.
• 12:53
  He's awesome.
• 12:54
  If you ever get a chance to cross paths with him, go up and talk to him.
• 12:57
  Introduce yourself.
• 12:58
  David's a phenomenal guy.
• 13:00
  Super, super nice.
• 13:01
  And he will just tell you, he's a super, super guy, not pretentious whatsoever.
• 13:06
  Super nice, willing to talk to you about everything and anything Ferrari.
• 13:09
  But again, he did a cool video because the people that got
• 13:12
  selected, they got sent a key for it.
• 13:15
  And what, so he did a video on it.
• 13:18
  Which is really cool, so I guess that's, and I don't know if they knew they were
• 13:21
  getting it, I have no idea how that part of it works, uh, you know, I'm not in
• 13:25
  that boat, I don't have that kind of money, um, but it's um, it was really
• 13:30
  cool to see, but anyways, so if those select few, they're gonna be able to
• 13:33
  get this car, hopefully they, they take him out, they drive him, I know Mr.
• 13:37
  David Lee will.
• 13:38
  Uh, and get it out there in front of the public and let people see it
• 13:41
  and enjoy, you know, just enjoy it.
• 13:44
  The cool thing would be if they went the route like Mr.
• 13:46
  Hamilton does up there with his cars.
• 13:48
  You know, that was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
• 13:51
  When in Columbus at triple F collections, the event, the
• 13:56
  event, or whatever I call it, Mr.
• 13:58
  Hamilton had his cars there and he lets people sit in them.
• 14:02
  The lines are, I mean, in his Bugattis, everything's Bugattis doors open.
• 14:06
  Just get in the line.
• 14:07
  You get in there.
• 14:07
  You can sit in there for, I don't know if he had a time down there.
• 14:10
  If you like similar for 30 seconds or whatnot, it didn't seem like
• 14:13
  it, but Hey, people get in there.
• 14:14
  They could take selfies, photos, whatnot, everything like
• 14:17
  that, which is awesome to see.
• 14:18
  Cause again, it's a car.
• 14:20
  Let people enjoy it too as well.
• 14:21
  You know, you're in blast and that's what I think.
• 14:23
  Uh, Mr.
• 14:23
  Hamilton's a fantastic guy.
• 14:25
  And again, him and Tommy, super, super nice guys.
• 14:28
  Don't ever be afraid to go up and talk to those guys.
• 14:30
  They will talk to you.
• 14:31
  Hey, you know, they're not going to be pretentious about it.
• 14:33
  So if you haven't listened to this podcast there, uh, Mr.
• 14:36
  Hamilton, they love to come up and chat with you some more.
• 14:39
  Personal just to kind of get to know you, uh, jump on the podcast.
• 14:42
  We'll have a chat.
• 14:43
  So, but if you have to get this, we'll see if you can, uh,
• 14:46
  maybe we can set something up.
• 14:47
  You're just in Chicago.
• 14:48
  I'm here in Cleveland.
• 14:49
  You're nothing but a four and a half, five hour drive away.
• 14:51
  So, but anyways, back to the F80.
• 14:54
  So we're getting into the cards, twin turbo V6, three electric motors.
• 14:59
  The uh, V6 itself is putting out la, just a little under 900
• 15:04
  horsepower, like 884 horsepower.
• 15:07
  Um, roughly in that neighborhood, 800, between 880 and 885.
• 15:11
  That's what they're stating.
• 15:12
  Now, what's the interesting thing is, because being the fact it's the same
• 15:15
  motors in the 296, it's pumping out almost 237 more horsepower than the 296.
• 15:21
  Same pretty much motor and that, but they, you know, worked their magic
• 15:24
  and they're able to squeeze it out.
• 15:26
  Could you imagine if they were tweaking that and that 296 and pumping out
• 15:29
  that kind of horsepower on that?
• 15:31
  Which, my guess, if you got someone that knows how to operate, you know, uh, ECU
• 15:35
  management, everything like that, and have them plug in and do it, I'm sure
• 15:38
  you could probably figure it out pretty quickly and how to jump it up there.
• 15:41
  My guess it would void your warranty.
• 15:43
  Uh, and Ferrari's got it!
• 15:45
  Outstanding warranty on their new cars.
• 15:48
  I mean, it's unbelievable what you get on that.
• 15:50
  I want to say I think is now it's seven years unlimited mileage
• 15:54
  because they know these people aren't gonna go nuts on mileage.
• 15:56
  Um, and bumper to bumper, everything like that.
• 15:59
  I mean, loaner cars, the whole nine yards.
• 16:00
  So kudos to Ferrari for standing behind their product
• 16:03
  in regards to stuff like that.
• 16:04
  I mean, that's unbelievable.
• 16:06
  So, but anyways, so twin turbo V six.
• 16:09
  So you got the, you got the V6, turbo spooling up, going and thing, you
• 16:12
  got about 885 horsepower roughly.
• 16:15
  So then you jump in with your three motors.
• 16:17
  You got two in the front and you got one in the rear, in the rear axle.
• 16:19
  Your two front ones and that stuff puts your total output
• 16:23
  to about 1, 200 horsepower.
• 16:26
  To about 2.
• 16:27
  1 seconds, 0 to 60.
• 16:29
  It's roughly in that range.
• 16:30
  Two seconds.
• 16:31
  So, um, you know, it's, it's rather impressive, I must say, but what helps
• 16:38
  is all wheel drive because the electric motor is in the front, motor in the
• 16:41
  back, so you got your grip, you're just going at it, going at it, going at it.
• 16:45
  Now with the electric motors on the front of that, you do have torque vectoring,
• 16:48
  so in regards to that stuff, you don't have to have rear wheel steering on this
• 16:51
  because it's Plenty going, you know what you have there And it wouldn't be even
• 16:56
  actually necessary No So and it saves a nice bunch of weight because you're not
• 17:00
  putting steering mechanisms as enough on the back wheels So it's really cool to
• 17:04
  see that so those things are powering up gets going now the one thing this does not
• 17:09
  have Like some of the other ones came out.
• 17:11
  There is no like full EV mode.
• 17:14
  There isn't somewhere where you could drive safe Four miles,
• 17:17
  eight miles in an electric only.
• 17:19
  Nope, doesn't have it, which I think is kind of cool.
• 17:21
  So some people might frown upon that because you got these guys.
• 17:25
  I mean, it's like a neat party trick though.
• 17:27
  You know, it's, you know, as they say, you know, you can start it
• 17:31
  up and go in your electric boat.
• 17:33
  So you're not waking up your neighbors or whatnot.
• 17:35
  Some along those lines.
• 17:37
  But it is what it is, you know, hey just have at it just go for it So I
• 17:43
  think that was kind of interesting.
• 17:44
  They said F that we're not gonna do that It's just hey
• 17:47
  you get going and right at it.
• 17:49
  I said I saw this real cool Short on YouTube the other day.
• 17:54
  It was a guy.
• 17:54
  He had a Lamborghini It looked like he was a doctor because he does
• 17:57
  scrubs but someone had left a note I don't know if it was a Murcielago
• 18:02
  or Diablo, uh, what he had, or maybe it was, I think it was an Aventador.
• 18:05
  Uh, I don't know what kind of exhaust he had on it, but
• 18:07
  obviously it was pretty loud.
• 18:09
  He's in a parking garage by and far.
• 18:10
  Someone left a note that says, you know, to whom it may, to the person
• 18:12
  or individual owns the Lamborghini.
• 18:14
  You know, you're leaving early and your car is very loud, blah, blah, blah.
• 18:17
  So it showed him actually pushing the car.
• 18:21
  out to a spot so then it wasn't loud and whatnot.
• 18:24
  It was great.
• 18:24
  It was like, that's cool, man.
• 18:25
  It's being real considerate.
• 18:27
  It's like, you know, uh, appreciate that much respect for him.
• 18:30
  But anyways, back to the car.
• 18:31
  So we're getting to the powertrain got to all that.
• 18:34
  So you're putting down impressive power numbers.
• 18:36
  So let's go into the cockpit.
• 18:37
  Now they have, they have a designated original design thoughts was
• 18:42
  we're going to do a single senior.
• 18:43
  It was like, no, it just really doesn't fit what for, you know, that ain't it.
• 18:46
  So they call it plus one.
• 18:50
  Which, which is a little baffling.
• 18:51
  It's, um, 1.
• 18:52
  5, whatever it is.
• 18:54
  Look up how they state it.
• 18:55
  It's kind of humorous.
• 18:57
  Basically, it is, I mean, there's a passenger seat, but what it is, it's
• 18:59
  staggered just a smidge behind the driver's seat, uh, to kind of give
• 19:03
  you that feel like they're not right next to you and everything like that.
• 19:06
  But what that does though is, you can actually get things closer
• 19:10
  to each other so you can kind of shrink that cockpit a little bit.
• 19:14
  Uh, width wise, because you kind of get things tucked in a little bit tighter.
• 19:18
  Now, the one cool thing is Also, I say one thing, the one cool, another cool thing
• 19:24
  is the fact is all these ones you see, they got the screen, they got it on the
• 19:28
  Pro Sangway, they had it, you know, all these other ones that started in the FF
• 19:31
  and that stuff, you know, so the patch you can't see is going to change the screen.
• 19:35
  Now there's a configurator on there, and if I understood the configurator,
• 19:38
  you can delete that and not have that if you don't want that.
• 19:41
  If you don't want your patch, you're dealing with that stuff or dicking
• 19:44
  around and touching, you know, which I personally do, I'd say get rid of it.
• 19:47
  They don't need to see what's going on.
• 19:49
  Tough shit.
• 19:50
  So, um, But anyways, it's, it's neat that you can have that option.
• 19:54
  So another thing is too is it's two different colored seats.
• 19:57
  Now, again, you want to go and spend and waste hours and hours and
• 20:02
  hours going to the Friar website.
• 20:04
  They have an F80 configurator up.
• 20:06
  And you can just go nuts.
• 20:07
  I got on there.
• 20:09
  I was trying to pick this, you know, learn everything about it and
• 20:12
  get all the notes and everything.
• 20:14
  And I think I was on the configurator for about two and a half hours,
• 20:18
  just doing different colors, doing everything like that.
• 20:21
  There's a lot of options.
• 20:21
  It's really cool.
• 20:22
  I mean, you can't go too nuts in regards to like, you know, carbon
• 20:25
  fiber add ons and everything like that.
• 20:27
  There are some, but.
• 20:28
  There's so many different color combinations.
• 20:30
  Color combinations you can do with the seat, the seatbelts and stitching.
• 20:33
  Um, I mean, it's just, it's really cool.
• 20:35
  All your exterior color choices and everything like that.
• 20:38
  You know, it's, it's awesome.
• 20:40
  I tell you, I mean, even if you're not the biggest Ferrari fan, go on there
• 20:44
  and do it because it's a lot of fun.
• 20:45
  There's a lot of different configurations you can do.
• 20:47
  You can get nuts with it.
• 20:48
  It's really cool.
• 20:49
  The one thing I really liked, Also was for the wheels.
• 20:53
  You can go full carbon fiber if you want.
• 20:55
  Uh, but you can keep the lip like silver.
• 20:59
  But you can also get just basically standard, you know, aluminum wheels.
• 21:03
  I believe they're aluminum.
• 21:04
  Uh, on there so they're silver.
• 21:06
  Go back to how it used to be.
• 21:08
  You know, this trend with black wheels got, I don't know how long ago it started.
• 21:12
  It was, you know, some years ago.
• 21:14
  Yeah.
• 21:14
  I don't know if it was, you know, making it look meaner or menacing,
• 21:17
  but I think it also had more to do with hide and break dust.
• 21:20
  Uh, but it was a trend and all of a sudden it went all the way down to, you
• 21:24
  know, SUVs and whatnot, you order it from the factory and buy it, it's got black
• 21:27
  wheels, but it's really cool to see that they're going back to having silver.
• 21:31
  Silver wheels.
• 21:32
  Now, I wouldn't necessarily go all the way back to doing what they used to
• 21:35
  do in the 80s and 90s, doing chrome.
• 21:37
  Yeah, leave that back then.
• 21:38
  Leave it alone.
• 21:39
  Leave it back to history.
• 21:41
  Silver, though, looks cool.
• 21:42
  It gives really that cool contrast to it.
• 21:45
  Uh, it was nice to see, you know, Matt Armstrong.
• 21:47
  Uh, I believe it was on his, uh, Nissan, his GTR he did, he kept them
• 21:51
  silver and it just, it's very, I don't want to say retro, but it's, it
• 21:55
  gives it a really kind of different look compared to what everyone's kind
• 21:59
  of used to with the black wheels.
• 22:00
  So it's cool to see that, uh, but then you get into like seat colors,
• 22:05
  y'all can tear all this stuff.
• 22:06
  I'm telling you.
• 22:07
  Go on the website and just start messing around with the Farquhar configurator.
• 22:12
  Now, the other, funny thing I thought with the configurators when you get done,
• 22:17
  there's the option to send it to a dealer.
• 22:20
  To your local dealer.
• 22:22
  Now, mind you, all these cars are sold.
• 22:23
  Mind you, these things are 3 million plus dollars.
• 22:26
  Uh, but you had the option, when you get done, to save it, send it to a dealer.
• 22:34
  I'm curious to see what happens.
• 22:35
  I set mine to a dealer.
• 22:36
  I want to see if I get a phone call.
• 22:38
  Cause I mean here, it's kind of one of those scenarios that, okay, you
• 22:41
  have something that's screwed around.
• 22:42
  I mean, is it going to waste a lot of these guys time salesman?
• 22:45
  Oh, I'm sure.
• 22:45
  I'm sure they're going to get super annoyed cause they're going to just get
• 22:48
  these jokers just doing, you know, 50, 60 different configurations a day and
• 22:53
  just sending each one to the dealer.
• 22:55
  You know, so, but you know what, it's fun.
• 22:58
  And it's not like the dealer's got to like do any work and produce a car.
• 23:01
  Cause they're all sold.
• 23:02
  So what's the difference?
• 23:03
  Let people have some fun, but I'm curious to see what they do.
• 23:06
  Do they take to the point where they take down the information?
• 23:08
  Hey, this, they could maybe buy, you know, a new SF 90 or something, which,
• 23:12
  you know, people are just not buying, um, and resales gone in the tank.
• 23:18
  Um, so I don't know, this is kind of, kind of fun little tidbit, but like I said,
• 23:22
  definitely check out the configurator.
• 23:24
  You can spend, you can waste a lot of your day and be careful
• 23:28
  because if you start some point in the morning and you're at work.
• 23:32
  Before you know it's going to be time to go home and you got absolutely
• 23:34
  nothing done But you did configure about 50 different types of ferrari f80s.
• 23:38
  You could buy option and color wise So was it productive in my mind?
• 23:42
  Yes your boss probably not so much So but anyways, so getting back to the car So
• 23:48
  again, you know, my impression, I love it.
• 23:51
  I think it's fantastic.
• 23:52
  I can't wait to see what out on the road driving kind of get some impressions.
• 23:56
  Uh, cool to see what some of these guys do on it.
• 23:59
  Uh, go on YouTube.
• 24:01
  Top gear does an awesome walk around of, obviously their time is limited.
• 24:04
  Uh, Tim, Mr.
• 24:06
  AKA shmi 150.
• 24:08
  He did another one too, cause he's really in deep with the Ferrari.
• 24:11
  Cause as anyone that watches this channel, subscribe to his channel, um, he's got
• 24:15
  a Uh, so he's kind of getting in there.
• 24:18
  Good graces.
• 24:19
  So they probably offered him one, but I don't know if his, uh, his channel has
• 24:24
  gotten to the point where he can afford a 3 million car, but he's getting up there.
• 24:27
  I mean, he bought himself that new SF 90.
• 24:29
  Uh, he's bought a couple other cars that are not cheap.
• 24:33
  So, and the one cool thing you also know about Tim, Tim's a very, very
• 24:36
  savvy, smart guy, financially wise.
• 24:39
  So, you know, You're smart with your money.
• 24:42
  There's a lot of good things you can do, make your money work for you.
• 24:45
  So there's a lot of cool things you could do.
• 24:46
  So anyways, precious of the F80 love it.
• 24:50
  Can't wait to see it out on the road.
• 24:52
  Definitely go on the configurator, go check it out, have some fun
• 24:55
  with it, really dive deep into it.
• 24:58
  There's a lot of cool little nuances to it.
• 25:00
  You know, again, you know, they didn't go totally nuts in regards to electronics
• 25:04
  and most stuff, but they did enough to it.
• 25:06
  Um, so it, it's a, I want to say, I'm not going to say perfect followup to
• 25:12
  the LaFerrari, but I will say as a successor to the LaFerrari, they hit it.
• 25:19
  They did a heck of a job with it.
• 25:20
  It's outstanding.
• 25:21
  Kudos, Ferrari.
• 25:23
  It's outstanding.
• 25:24
