Using hyperbole to describe the 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO is unnecessary. The car speaks for itself. It is one of the last (of thirty-six) Ferrari GTOs ever built. This particular one, chassis #5571, was the first of the Series II bodies. The 3.0L V-12 produces about 300 horsepower and it completed multiple endurance races, winning its class in the Daytona Continental 2000km (this car's first race), Sebring 12 hour, and Nassau TT.

The driver is Mr. Derek Hill, who won the Ferrari Challenge International Championship in 1995 and the Formula Dodge West Coast in 1996, and raced a Bugatti EB110 at Le Mans. Additionally, he has a special attachment to this car as it was his dad, Fomula One Champ Phil Hill, that raced it in Daytona and Nassau. But what is the car really like? Well, "It's so hard to describe just how incredible it is to drive this car at speed. I mean, it's really a certain kind of ecstasy." We wish we could give you a first-hand account but, just like you, we're relegated to dreaming. If you're still reading, thank you. But we know why you're here, go on now, watch the video.

  • Most cars of this caliber are treated like caged tigers. Pampered, but not doing what they were made for. It makes me so happy to see one in its natural habitat.
  • @ne2i
    This is how a motor should sound!
  • Does anybody else keep coming back to this video? I never get tired of this. It's the best you can do besides being there, I hope someday to see one of these cars in person.
  • This is why other supercar brands will never be Ferrari. Legendary car.
  • @ckkehoe2
    Hearing this car going up through the gears really makes me loathe the future of silent electric vehicles.
  • I have watched most of your videos twice over but I keep coming back to this. 4:15 to 5:35 is one of the greatest pieces of motoring video I have ever seen. I genuinely mean that! The sound of that v12.... The sight out of that cockpit..... I've never wanted to be somewhere so bad as I want to be in that drivers seat.
  • That's one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard. What a beautiful machine.
  • @anzistro
    An owner truly worthy of this legend of a car. He´s got the unique connection to it through his farther, is not intimidated by it yet absolutely aware of its specialness and has apparently the skill set to absolutely gun it. That is a very rare thing. To see this makes me very happy somehow.
  • "So hard to describe?" I'm up for the challenge. >:D
  • 3 years on and I keep revisiting this video. It's just perfect. A truly special car with a great story, affable and articulate owner, beautifully shot and edited, wonderfully judged music and THAT SOUND as it's blasted up the road. A fantastic effort all round.
  • Would love to see his insurance bill for a $40 million car haha
  • @ZellusCars
    I'm speechless, this car sounds as good as its looks ! Thanks for sharing with us this piece of art.
  • Beautiful when you put subtitles at 1:50 and the roar of the engine considers it ''Music ''.
  • These videos are so beautiful, they share the passion of these cars with the audience with very professional footage, sound, music and stories. I love Ferrari’s and watching this I just want to drive the car now as the experience of watching the video made me feel that. Very well done, thankyou. 😊
  • holy fuck i wouldnt be able to drive it like that, id be scared as fuck to wreck it
  • this is truly this channels finest hour. it is probably the best car video on youtube. the view from the cockpit, driver giving one of the most valuable and iconic cars in motoring history all the hell its built to take. freakin awesome!
