About 22 seconds in you’ll see a Ferrari F40 lights up, that’s me, I picked up the F40 in late 2011, this was July 2012 where a reported 60 F40s celebrated the F40’s 25th anniversary at Silverstone. 21st July 2027 the F40 will celebrate its 40th anniversary. Surely we can get at least 100 out there to celebrate this icon? In 2012 we had a tight speed limit and barely one full circuit. 2027 and its 40th anniversary deserves a little better! 🐎❤️🇮🇹

It is said the Ferrari F40 was created under the noses of the corporates, by Il Commendatore himself, because he felt his road cars were becoming too soft and because he knew his time on the earth was short. He entrusted its creation to the genius that was Ing. Nicola Materazzi. I swear every drive I feel their presence, the clarity, energy, irreverence, the spirit, and a legacy that was defined. A moment in time that created greatness 🐎❤️

Ferrari 458 Speciale. Great shots From yesterday’s epic track fun, easily one of the greatest Ferrari V8 drives, superbly responsive, unbeatable soundtrack (insane in RACE mode at 9K) and its design aging so beautifully, to think I sold her and bought her back, very near miss 😅🐎💙 RM Sotheby's

Can’t get enough of the famous and challenging Top Gear ‘figure of 8 track’ at Dunsfold aerodrome. A few clips from today’s amazing fun driving - the outrageous Singer DLS Turbo with its 3.8L Twin Turbo flat 6 and around 700hp. Loved Chris throwing his mighty Bentley GT3-R around, capped at 300 units to celebrate its victory at Silverstone Blancpain Endurance Series. And the 458 Speciale which was an epic drive. Huge thank you for the invitation - perfect day👌🔥🔥🔥

Delivered new in 2014, specced in Blu Tour de France, thought to be only 42 Ferrari 458 Speciale coupes made in that spec. In issue 198 (August 2014) EVO magazine said of the 458 Speciale “It never, ever makes you wait. Not for gearshifts or engine, and certainly not for the chassis to make real your inputs. The car just seems to react in real-time, compressing the phase between input and output until your brain can’t register the gap. The 458 Speciale is unbelievable, nothing short of astonishing”.

That was August 2014, it’s 2026 and against its peers, in terms of driving experience, more Speciale than ever? Can’t wait to get her on track this week 🐎💙🚀

Which is the more crazy? I’ve had these two since new, the GTO was delivered in early 2011 and the F12tdf in late 2016.

The most crazy of the two from my experience is the F12tdf, not because - for example - the power gain and introduction of RWS over the 599 GTO but because while the 599 GTO is upfront about its seriously beast-like character, it communicates with you the entire time, the F12tdf has a deceptive soft side for traffic, scenic encounters and moments of PIT SPEED engagement (aka using cruise control) - something conspicuously not part of the GTO’s hard, track focused 599 XX derived playbook - however decide to push hard in the F12tdf and the instant ferocity of the performance you unleash is shocking - it’s what makes the F12tdf so damn intoxicating - utterly gorgeous, elegant and brutal.

Both exquisitely beautiful, limited edition, super aggressive naturally aspirated mid-front V12 Ferrari. One is in your face 100% demanding you step up and drive, the other able to shift in a nanosecond between playing the gorgeous ultimate Grand Tourer and a total animal. It’s what makes these two irresistible and irreplaceable.

Ferrari 599 GTO or Ferrari F12tdf?

Sensational. Built in 2003 by Ferrari in partnership with N-Technology, a year after the 550 Maranello had been phased out, the 550 GTC has a 6.0L race V12 producing 600bhp, 650+Nm of torque, dry weight c 1100kg (the 550 Maranello has a 5.5L V12, 485bhp, 568 Nm of torque, dry weight 1690kg). A beautiful beast, it marked the return of an in-house Ferrari GT racing division and paved the way for future success. Imagine is there had been a Ferrari 550 GTO based on this, what a dream supercar that would have been.

Back at Dunsfold very soon and this time with the Ferrari 458 Speciale. My first ever visit was in November 2022 for the filming of a Top Gear episode featuring an amazing collection of sportscars and supercars from the 1970s, ‘80s and 90s. Weather conditions were poor but the turn out epic. I took the Ferrari F50, with the roof on! The McLaren F1 was fantastic, so many other period greats. I found it fascinating watching the team deciding where to place the iconic McLaren F1, sadly the show was never aired, sadly the show never returned either 😔

After some great runs with the epic V12 beast - aka Ferrari 599 GTO - including taking her on the Top Gear track at Dunsfold - it was time to change for something I’ve not taken on the Top Gear Dunsfold track before, time for something very special. Thanks to the team for impeccable service; Driving her home, the 458 Speciale is such a fantastic driver’s car, the GTO demands your total attention, the 458 Speciale instead wraps itself totally around you, its agility is extraordinary and frankly beautiful. And then there’s its brilliant 4.5L NA V8. Can’t wait to have her on track very soon 🐎💙🚀
