Jeremy: "it doesn't need anymore power"
ferrari 812: "hey"
F12tdf: I haven't learned anything from this
@@FarmYardGaming Well maybe the Italians had trouble understanding Jeremy's recommendations due to the language difference and mistook them for "MOREEEE POOWEERRRRR"
@@CrashForce And for that I give them a salute that lasts 812.12 seconds
@@FarmYardGaming Haha
It maybe doesn’t need more power, but in this game it isn’t about what it needs - it’s about what it can get.
I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video. Engineering, review, linguistic, editing, photography masterpiece.
Najam Qureshi agree its so comprehend review no one can do it better than JEZZA👍
Me too!
music, impeccable !
Not forgetting the "OOOH IN THE FACE" bit
everything about this is a masterpiece including the music.
Watching this 6 years later and the car still looks like a piece of art 😍
I dare say its the best looking "modern" ferrari. Yes, even 6 years later.
@@LiezAllLiez 👍👍👍
2023 and its still is. Timeless
Lies again? Paramount Pictures USD SGD
It’s impressive that they turned the absolutely crap weather into a positive feature of this excellent film.
You know when you've created a true monster of a car when even Clarkson says it's too powerful!
Soundtallica in Chains And when it makes you legit cry the moment you hear its exhaust note.
And now the 812 has 60 more horsepower.
Too powerful for these roads, a track or maybe the big long straights in america on the wide roads its fine but here its too much our roads in the uk are tiny
Jeremy Clarkson - “it is a bit frantic in here”.
JaayOnPC... Ever heard of the autobahn it's in one of those foreign countries that's not in England.
Probably the best filmed and edited Top Gear review in its modern history.
+MyRandomCommentsXD You should see the Disco Volante one, that was really something special
+MyRandomCommentsXD I would actually argue the Aventador video with the colour splashes and palette swaps at at least one section. The music choices in this are wonderful along with its other aspects, but I think the said point, plus a few others in the Aventador video beat this one out.
+MyRandomCommentsXD I think the Sesto Elemento video beats this one, just by a little
WarmHandSanitizer
That was a great one too, actually. :)
Now the Aston Martin Vulcan is the best :)
Watching this clip made me realise again what Jeremy contributed to making this show a massive success. He was Top Gear. Small wonder he received 74 % of the vote during a poll to see who the greatest Top Gear presenter of all time is.
The 26% probably went to Hammond and May
8 years later, still a genuinely gorgeous and elegant car.
exactly
indeed. To me, is still the best looking front engine Ferrari.
8 years later ?!
Bro, come back after 80 yrs ...
I wished the Roma had a V12... I think it is the best looking in a long time.
"Thumbs up" for the Top Gear camera and editing crew. I love the quality and the atmosphere in the video. Also great editing and camera shots! Also a big reason why I love Top Gear.
And they are hella funny
Unless they try to film animals haha
C Risin N V
Oh the irony
Leon Chn “hella funny” bay area native ?
When you get criticized for being too good... Ferrari F12.
Furkan Özcan
How is it too good?
Rather too good to be true I’d say.
Laferrari
I wanted to give you a thumbs Up until I saw that I'll ruin ur 599 figure 😁
After almost 5 years we have 488 pista, g lusso, laferrari... all that jazz. But in my opinion the f12 Berlinetta will be one of the all time top 3 ferraris ever produced overall. ( not the mention i had the priviledge of driving 3 ferraris over the last 5 years& one of them was the F12. My god was it fast... Maybe not bugatti fast or dodge demon rapid or bmw m3 agile but it really was something special about it. A true italian witch-craft.
Feels like that yes.
Jeremy may be the only person on the planet who has ever jumped an F12.
Haha, I doubt it. Any less downforce and it would be a fighter jet lol
who is jeremy may?
@@cloudy4872 Captain Speed and slow
might be* actually
He's probably the only one that's jumped it without crashing.
Made 8 years ago and still is one of the best shot videos of any car reviews in the world. Jeremy, May and hammond going out of BBC was the end of the most watched factual TV programme in the world.
6:49 ...this is why TG was so awesome, every video had a few minutes (especially the Specials) where the soundtrack, scenery and car just combine to make an utterly mesmerising scene. The cinematography and editing is simply fantastic.
They better be able to repeat this stuff on their new show.
I know, its amazing. the soundtrack for that scene was perfect too.
+Fishfingers232 agree, 6:58 and 7:47 aswell.
I wish there was a version of this with just shots of the car driving (through this landscape and in this weather) and with just the piano music and the sound of that engine roaring through it.
Really shows me how Ferrari's have more "soul" than other supercars and how they can be more special and dramatic in a way that other supercars simply can't.
i hope so bro... this is one of the greatest vids of top gear and one of the most memorable as well
You know the name of that song? Shazam won't recognize it.
***** Bat for Lashes - Moon and Moon.
forums.finalgear.com/top-gear-episode-songs/
This website has got a pretty comprehensive list of all the songs used in every episode.
Every time i watch TG..... i realise why this is by far the best Auto Show on the planet. Its about the quality of production, the angles, the frames.... and most of all... the three wise men.
/DRIVE does better stuff in my opinion. At the very least it's better journalism.
But /Drive isn't free.
Storm Holloway I agree, but /DRIVE is STALE! My lord, it's like a show of James May's but really boring. Great info though, can't deny that
Storm Holloway Chris Harrys is really good.
Storm Holloway /Drive used to do good stuff. Then NBC bought them. I've had enough of watching their talking heads sit around on stools and bullshit about nonsense.
This is one of the most underappreciated cars of all time. It's my favorite car ever and I don't think anything can surpass it in the near future.
The 812 sf?
Sls black series
It's depreciating like hell
@@rohithftw2187 all v12s do tho
@@rohithftw2187 because of the 812 competizione
I think the changing gears scene at 2:20 is one of the best automotive scenes ever made! The constantly increasing noise of that beauty... sounds like there are 10 other engines put together. And then it screams, Clarkson changes the gear and it immediately starts screaming louder. What a machine...
Not a huge fan of Ferraris in general. But that is one brutally sexy car.
Hell yeah it is.
Correct.
Indeed it is. I absolutely love the f458 as well
same here
Took the words right out of my mouth. Absolutely gorgeous car.
for anyone interested this was filmed in scotland in Pitlochry perthshire
Thanks for the info. Was searchingly for it all over the place
Udaya Sajja it's not even close to bing the most beautiful area in Scotland, in the highlands it's pretty low down to be honest
Thanks
@@lewistaylor2858 Uhm, the Cairngorms certainly are among the most beautiful areas. Maybe not THE top one, but amongst the top.
@@AGH331 yeh this isn't the Cairngorms, the Cairngorms are from Beinn a Bhuird to Sgor Gaoith
This car video probably has the finest edition and montage in CZcams. If you are reading this, video editor. Very well done!
The top gear video production team is beyond top of its class
The F12 is absolutely INSANE! 730 HP V12 that SCREAMS! I’d love to have one of these. Recently I discovered that it can actually go faster than 211 mph. This thing is so powerful it can actually do 239 MPH! One under what a McLaren F1 can do!
exactly
239?! Bajezus...
Surely one of the best looking cars Ferrari have made for a while!
Its a hatchback witha pointlessely big engine.
Oh and that engine, what a sound!!
Ben Dewse Pinifarina... not ferrari!!
*Pininfarina, and it is still a Ferrari, as I said.
Ben Dewse the N-Largo edition is even better!
What a beast, can't wait to drive it in the next Forza
So... you're here as well?
Why do you follow me everywhere!?
You're the lone wanderer, he's a stalker. When you're alone.... BOOM
you have it now in the new NF RIVALS
I'm driving it on Need For Speed Rivals and it is friggin amazing.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen
The editing, the shots, the review, the music - everything is P E R F E C T
Every month I come here to watch this video 4-5 times. It gives me chills every bloody time. Masterpiece video, terrific review.
So does the disco volante review
@@KurtKress not the same :(
I watched this review thousand of times and I am never getting bored of that!!!
Me to, sadly because top gear nowadays is crap
TheBellonz if you get bored, you can always go disco volante and v12 vantage bro😉👍
Same here
Here I am, again
Same thing to me with Alfa Romeo Disco Volante. Just perfect video they made.
"A bit less power."
Said the man who screams "POWERRRRRRR"
haha nice one :)
Jeremy must not have been feeling himself when he filmed this
But it is a bombshell XD
No te lo preocupes
@@jdapaul1351 👍😂😂😂
Wow 5 years..just flew away..Sometimes its freaks me out
Yeah, Those were the GLORY DAYS!
@@yazdanahmed7790 absolutely, before the corona virus..
Have a wonderful day Ahmed :)
Almost 6 years ago and it still looks drop dead gorgeous.
This car is beautifully built. The looks are astonishing! The sound gives you chills every time you press on the gas. The interior is nice and welcoming every time. The curves the edges the cuts are well made. It is fulfilled with technology and comfort. This car has the passion of life and speed of hell. Ferrari has taken their time on this car.
it's a beautiful masterpiece!
Am I the only one here who likes F12 more than the Aventador?
No.
Hell no,you're not the only one.F12 is gorgeous!
I like it wayyyy better
you're not
Nope
For me, this car is among the greatest Ferraris ever made, together with the likes of 288 GTO, 250 GTO and the F40.
Stunning review. I watched it when it first aired, revisited it a few times since, given these uncertain times I felt a little nostalgic today so I’m watching it again. I miss this show with Jezza, Richard and James.
The words "a bit less power" coming from Jeremy's mouth itself says how epic this Ferrari is.
OF GOD I LOVE FERRARIS!!!!!!!!
okay its one amazing machine but lets give credit to the editors, the editing is amazing, fah!.... 02:52 badass image!!!!
Yeah, kudos to the Top Gear team those shots and scenery were Ammaaaazing!!
hell they know how make awesome video with supercar...love it!!!
That's called a photochop (glaringly artificial).
"Ohhh in the face!!" one of many legendary lines of the REAL TOPGEAR.
2:53 This is one of my absolute favourite top gear shots ever created.
This car looks absolutely stunning. THIS is art, not just some black lines and colored cubes..
I love Top Gear so much! The editing is amazing. I bet Ferrari was proud of this review. Does anyone know what the song is at 1:40?
***** dude I love the quality of your videos and the ones you choose are brilliant! Keep up the good work.
+McFly 123 wow. he's a troll. that's a troll account.....you got trolled
+Mike Labonte what....
+Mike Labonte idiot its a verified account go check the g+ page
+jason herah That song is "Sacrilege" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. A personal favourite of mine, made the review for this beautiful car even better.
The song played around 1:25 is Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege
I wouldn't even dare to blink in a car like this but Jeremy close his eyes while driving in town...brave man
I will own one of those one day
+Brendan Choma So will I! :)
+Brendan Choma so will i
Future F12 squad right here
Yep my number one dream car, watch this probably about 20 time since it came out
+Tom Hertz
what are you talking about?
this is no limited production ferrari and therefore won't skyrocket in price. Actually it will drop in price just like the 599gtb-the predecessor of this car.
Learn your stuff first and then start to write.
If I ever won money, this would be my first purchase.
i'd buy a db9, more classy. but i do understand people who fancy this automobile
MrRagnarxx Haha I have just the same thought. DB9 all the way.. Not "too" expensive so you can buy a 5 door car as well :P
Well im not giving you money then
SuperDases Pretty sure if you have a spare 1/4 mil for a Ferrari you can afford a spare 5 door as well. Not a lot of people buy a Ferrari are living paycheck to paycheck in order to afford one.
*****
Loool .. 😂🙈💔
After 8 years, this video is still a masterpiece...
When i'm having a bad day, i rewatch this masterpiece to make it better again, especially from 6:47
So true
I'm here.
The F12 must have incredible traction, as it appears Jeremy is going really fast on those wet roads without losing control.
"The Stig says:"
U dont hear that often
When we go full electric, losing the magic at 4:33 is gonna hurt the most.
I've seen hundreds of times this video, the landascapes, the car, photography... Never get tired, Thanks Top Gear staff
Some time ago I had a dream car: the Mercedes SLS AMG... but then this came along.
Jeremy Clarkson is getting old. And I mean really old. "a bit less power". That is just something that wasn't in his vocabulary before this film.
3:01 Doom sound effect. Listen to it during the scene transition. Nice touch editor's 👌
One of the finest works Jeremy has made. He is really in the league of his own.
To save you lots of scrolling :)... The SONG starting around 1:30 is: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege
Ferrari doesn't disappoint. The F12 is a pure firefly!
please stop
This car review is up there with the Alpha Romeo disco volante.
It’s so nice to see him drive though a wee Scotland town in a Ferrari
Love the F12 berlinetta! Such a beautiful and amazing car. Simply perfection! And the sound that awesome V12 makes is better than any symphony ever created. It's definitely one of the greatest supercars of all time. Forza Ferrari!!!
True, maybe one of the last V12 Ferrari. but this car is so beautifull, what you think of a italian car ☺ #ForzaFerrari.
+Fred Schriks nahhhh laferrari has a v12
rockslps Did you see my reaction ? " Maybe ONE of the last V12 Ferrari " whit that i mean, The F12 has a V12, also LaFerrari has a V12. I don't know if Ferrari will make a flagschip car whit a V12. Could be the last one.
But....size matters....#v124lyfe
rockslps Me as a true patrolhead.. i think we have to live whit the fact that V12's are gone in a couple of years.
Never really been a fan of Ferrari, not even close
But this..
I just might change a bit.
same
absolutely true..I was all ways more into 911's and Mclaren
i think its one of the last of the few real ferraris .now they are going for turbos and family car crap like gtc4 and tiny little v8s .they even messed with the true colors .now they launch their new cars in stupid blues and yellows .they are destroying the brand.
bilal awan gtc4 is the new ferrari ff
bilal awan Are you stupid? They just add more colors for the clients to choos from.. I would go for a classic Ferrari red color to like Rosso Corsa.. but every looks good on a Ferrari.. but nothing beats the classic red or yellow ofc.. but they have to move with the time to
0:50 cute doggy!
Cinematics, music, Clarkson. Everything about this video is absolutely brilliant.
We've come a long way in sports car development if people are considering too much power to be a flaw. Haha
Chapman proved a long time ago that that's the case.
MrV1C7OR That's funny, I tend to laugh at people who can't string together a coherent sentence.
Please don't call, I never planned on sharing my lessons with you in the first place.
Not that this is a bad car, because it's obviously not! But if I'd had to chose between the F12 and a 458, I would definitely go with the 458. It's cheaper, probably handles better, and IMO looks better!
That slightly banked sweeping corner at 6:51 looks amazing, like you could get some incredible lateral g’s through there
Clarkson at his very best. Absolutley brilliant review.
In my opinion, best Ferrari on the road today. The la Ferrari is great and all but he F12 is in its own world with no challengers
I completely agree with you...even though I'm not even a fan of Ferrari per se
812 and F12
Hey man no offence but listen at 7:05
But it's still one of the best Ferraris ever built, even in 2020..
The Aston Martin dbs v12
F12 TDF
3:47 It has a real key!!!
thats what i like the most in ferraris .they are real and pure cars .
Socrates Nicolaou u put in the key and then press the start button so it doesn't count 😔
Newfiecarter15 at least the key looks like a key.
Its a car, not a mobility capsule
8 years later and this Ferrari F12 still LEGENDARY.
i've watched this video 13 times now...
beautiful: the car, the location, the filming & the editing...
i shall return again & again...
You know its powerful if even clarkson wishes for less power
Ferrari will always be the best car to me i can remember the first time i saw one in Trinidad it was the ferrari f50 it was as if time stood still from the time it broke the corner it was as if nothing else mattered from the sleekness of the body to the bold classic red that is synonymous with Ferrari forever and always the girl who was standing next to me voice disappeared with the wind my heart made a loud thump then went still the construction in the building on the other side ran silent as she drove in that beautiful classic an all i could hear is the purr of the f50 4.7 L DOHC 65 degree V12 all i could see was this prancing horse as it came to a halt at the stop light i felt like a child who saw his crush for the first time it was literally love at first sight i made it my duty not just to buy a Ferrari but marry that brand because it will forever be . . . . my first love this f 12 is no exception it is poetry in motion and art on wheels they have out done themselves once again like with the 458 italia, 458 Speiale and the Laferrari
Came back in 2022 after watching this when it released way back. Now it bring literal tears to my eye. Such a beautifully well done review.
Same feelings man
Same..a video to come back too 🙂
1:05 me on the sidewalk
I have no words to describe how amazing is this video... Wow!!!!!
the old topgear has the ability to make a car more than just a car. absolutely beautiful pictures, motions and music all together
there is something about how Jeremy talks about cars, it's poetic yet still informative, of course, Andy and the team add so much
I played this video so many times that I memorized every bit of detail.
This is one of my most treasured reviews by Jezza ever, I watched it live, I've watched every re-run of it and enjoyed every second of it.
Its just mesmerizing how beautifully the stunning vantage shots, the music, Jezza's voiceover and that astonishing Ferrari, are all knitted together to create this perfection of a car review.
I will go as far as saying that there are movies in hollywood that are made less professionally than this segment. Going to miss you Jezza, wherever you go we'll follow.
Oh, almost forgot, this is very possibly one of the all time greatest Ferrari's ever.
it blows my mind how most Ferrari customers go for a 458 rather than getting an F12. Sure the 458 looks slick and sexy but I mean cmon who can resist not wanting to drive an F12!?
Nico Garcia theres a big price difference...
Florian Klein figured
To the average Ferrari driver, average human being even, the 458 is plenty fast enough to wet yourself. Plus it's smaller, nimbler, easier to place on the road, has a big trunk in front, and is way cheaper. 458 is the better drivers car, the f12 is a big loud piece of "look at my money!!!"
Nico Garcia The F12 is more expensive than the 458
Nico Garcia
8 years later am still watching this. Lol
Im in love with Front-Engined, Rear wheel Drive Coupes with a zingy V12.
Perfect Combinations.
that road looks like the film location of the latest Bond film :)
One of the most beautiful car ever.
Buy me one of these
Give me a job Bill that will pay for one of these babies
i agree, drive her should be thrilling!
i cant even afford a used cavalier... how does it feel knowing you could buy ALL of these ever made? lol
and for me too, Bill pls buy it for me too
04:38 Flying Ferrari, you dont see this every day 😵
Everytime I watch Top Gear, I absolutely laughed when Jeremy speaks with that particular accent like 0:45
Couldn't agree more😂
I may have added like 100 views on this Vid because im so Inlove with this car...
Vol deMort same
Vol deMort where's your nose ?
@@camo4351 his nose said aight *imma head out*
love the transition on 1:38 its like the V12 appeared out of nowhere
Probably my favorite ferrari. The looks, the speed, the engineering, I dont know what they fed the Italians when they designed this vehicle but it worked beautifully
For a long time the f12/812 superfast have been on my list of dream paddle shift cars but that list was topped by the LFA, hearing that the stig compares this to the LFA put a smile on my face.
V12 sound with the rage of RWD and the beauty of ferrari design coming together to make an absolute animal.
So it produces the same downforce as two John Prescotts or presumably one Jeremy Clarkson
And the same thrust produced by laughter when Jeremy gets hit by *tennis ball creeps*
Damn you BBC why are you so good at shooting and editing these films!?
ditto
this, and when Jeremy tests the Disco Volante ... probably my two favorite reviews/segments ever..
The Glenshee bit of the A93 really is one of the greatest roads anywhere in the country and I can’t think of anywhere better for the boys to have done this amazing road test.
@7:05 "The Stig says this is the only car in the world that can hold a candle to the Lexus LFA" - that is high praise indeed for the Ferrari.
what a sound, what a sight, what a car....
Sensational! I keep coming back and watch this review, coz one of the best Top Gear has ever produced!
this is my favourite video of all top gear ,moved by jeremy and BGM,what a great video,what a enjoy.
Not a huge fan of Ferraris but this is just...DAMN
Love the way that the F12 looks. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of money so I'll have to settle with an Benz.
Did you know the designer of the F12 is the same designer who designed the Ferrari 360? I just recently discover this and i can tell the similarities in the design the F12 looks stunning just like the 360.
2:40 - let's you have fun, without allowing you to crush... I need this traction control in real life
