R.I.P Alain de Cadenet. We will miss you dearly. Quite a gentleman...
-
40 years as a Ferrari mechanic and hands down the 288 is my favorite car for the street. The 288 is so much fun, very forgiving and easy to drive. Having thousands of mile of seat time in 288's is one of my fondest memories, the only complain would be that the seat gets uncomfortable after a couple hours. Love these cars so much, seeing one brings back so many good times...

Whoever reading this one day you will own a FERRARI........

Alain is a great presenter and the 288 GTO is a magical machine. I never thought I'd see someone flogging a GTO on damp roads in the fog. I'll bet when the drone operator saw that last shot, a tear came to his eye. Such a wonderful video in every way.
-
OMG that ending mountain drone fly over was beautiful
-
Most beautiful Ferrari ever!
-
The 288 always struck me as the best looking Ferrari from my childhood. Its wider and not as blocky as the 308, but still a bit chunkier than the F40. Just the right amount of 1980's DNA in it!
-
A beautiful Italian woman in a red dress and high heels. Timeless.
-
That shot with the camera mounted on the engine cover looking forward through the back glass is epic.
-
Whoever's in charge of Petrolicious' music score deserves a peace Nobel prize
-
One of the most beautiful Ferrari ever made, lovely
-
Just found out about Alain's passing. R.I.P. Like many others, I enjoyed your skill and smooth delivery on car reviews. I much enjoyed your Victory by Design series. You are greatly missed.
-
Before Chris Harris, there was Alain de Cadenet. His Victory by Design series really made me grow up about appreciating cars. Before him, it was hp and torque. After the VbD series, I grew to appreciate the details, the engineering, and most of all the histories of models and makes, the quirks... Good to see he's still doing these drives and sharing his sentiments.
-
This is no car. It is an istitution, a love letter to motoring
-
That closing shot, pure beauty.
-
Missing Alain's great automotive contributions. Thanks for featuring him! It's uncanny that the turbos don't stifle the sound of that V8, but instead it has an outrageously great exhaust sound. It almost sounds like that was the sound chosen for Petrolicious' opening.
-
I never realized that there was that much of a difference in the chassis & weight dimensions of this car and a 308. Leave it to Alain De Cadanet to reveal those details!
-
Thank you Alan! One of the most magnificent Ferrari's ever. The 250 GTO, 275, the Daytona, F40 and the 288 GTO are, as the Brits would say, "Proper Ferrari's"! The road and scenery were stunning.
-
Wow the Evo 288 GTO 2000 lbs and 650 HP = a monster and 225 mph Very impressed they took one of these gems out in funky weather. I always enjoy Alain's commentary his voice and knowledge is the best. Thank you this is so cool.
