First of all, I know this should be in the youtube section, but i'm sorry, this NEEDS to be seen by everyone and don't just play it in the small window, open it up to full size with 1080p and turn the speakers up, you really do want to get the full effect from this The video shows the beautiful 250 Lusso being used as it was intended for, not just being a show piece in a museum. Not many films manage to show the love affair of a car, especially the setting, the 'Drive' like filming, and the amazing noise of that V12. Go on, indulge yourselves  |

The Lusso has long been at the top of my lottery wishlist. One of my favourite ever cars, and my favourite Ferrari.

Thank you very much. Really an awesome piece of video.
I don't think there is a single letter i don't agree with and its really nice to know that this car found such a great owner. Really the lad is a hero, specially sice most of these cars are tucked away in private collections and rarely see any road use.
Beautiful machine btw, and I'm not even much of a Ferrari fan.

Nice one,
There has been the same 250 Lusso at every single Goodwood Breakfast club I've been to, he's bungee corded a radio onto the transmission tunnel!
Such an underated car and so many recycled into 250GTO an latterly SWB.
Thanks for the link, subscribed now!

emphasizes what were all about, its a total love affair between car and driver, even its unusual eccentricities become endearing to it.
cant find character like that in moderns.

You csn also watch petrolicious videos in hd on vimeo. In fact, with a bit of searching, vimeo has some incredible stuff. I am hoping that when we get a proboards upgrade we will be able to embed to share....

absolutely stunning, that noise is just so nice it makes me wonder how you could even just park a car like that up instead of using it. I would want to hear that noise as much as possible. great owner who really appreciates the car as well.

I love that. His sentiments must surely sum up the sentiments of most of us on here? The quirkiness of Ferraris does it for me, over the exacting engineering of the Germans and Japs. My fiancee booked a track day for my 30th a few years back, and after driving an Elise, Prodrive development Impreza, and ultimately a 911, I felt very slightly let down the the 'does exactly what it should, with no dramas' feel of them. I wondered if the F355 would be different. After having an adjustable spanner tap the starter motor to start the curse word, I sat in it with the instructor warning me, duck your head as you climb in. Pedals were massively offset and he warned me to be gentle with the gear change, as the shifter had a tendency to come off in the drivers hand if yanked too hard. For me, it was the car of the day, by a long mile. Time to get saving! |

Cracking 250 owned by possibly the least up they're own  Fezza owners in the world! Seemed almost Steve Mcqueen'ish to me! Typically Italian, the rear lights weren't working in some shots ha ha. A great share, thanks..... |
