The Ferrari 250 GTO Speaks for Itself
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 04. 2014
- 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.
David Attenborough talking here ladies and gentlemen.
But these cars are fragile.
because most of the owners of such cars only have the money, but not the skills like mr. hill. double clutch while heel/toe. and beat the shit out of this million dollar lady. thats how its done
Alex Gaming fragile? did you even listen to derek hill in the video? they raced 24 hours on the track, won, and drive it home after. BULLETPROOF
try this whit a kia, it wont last one fuckin lap.
@@ArianOriginal21 i didnt know that. but these are the street versions, so they werent made for reliability.
This is how a motor should sound!
exactly love the sound it's music for my ears :)
*engine*
Euphoria.
You've never heard the V8 sound of a GT40? That sound in engine should sound. A motor is electric by the way.

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.
I come back to listen to it. Can't get tired of that sound. They have a really good video on this channel about a 50s testarossa
SuperGoldnut - spot on! That said, I saw the Hillclimb video first and this one after, and I appreciate now more than ever the details and history behind the model as well as this particular example.
Yes indeed
I took the sound of the engine and created a ring tone for my phone.
You should see peoples faces when my phone rings.
yes
Fun fact: 1 ton of gold is worth 64 million dollars. Ferrari 250 GTO, weighing 950 kg, was recently sold for 70 million dollars. ...........That's right, this car is worth more than its weight in gold.
That's crazy
Hearing this car going up through the gears really makes me loathe the future of silent electric vehicles.
Robot cars = robot society , I am an engine guy from GM that benchmarked a new Ferrari engine , it was beautiful ! To touch every part of that engine was zen man. Won't robot cars be boring ? I don't work at GM anymore due to their so called restructuring plans to go all electric , I don't believe it will fully happen in my lifetime.
Yeah... but a Tesla will smoke this thing to 60.
I kid, I kid.... I totally agree with you.
@@epasternak4206 Eric did you know Al Cline?
@@mikeconnor3602 was he a GM employee ? It doesn't ring a bell.
@@colin5577 This car is true to the spirit of pure passion , this car along with many other high performance car I enjoy pump my blood , every ounce of this Ferrari is pure magic. For me it's always Ferrari and Corvette .
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.
+lushleeway if you think that was good...go check out Petrolicious' latest video of this car running through the hills. Uploaded a few hours ago. Best 7mins of your life...
#lushleeway that is exactly what i'm doing too, watched it 1 million times. cant get enough of that screamin and brabbling V12, its the best music ever for my ears its a symphony. everytime i hear this sound i can understand why these cars had no radio 😎
+nuddekutsch Who wants radio with a V12 under the hood?
I was biking around and saw a fake 250 GTO with no lights
I completely agree. I guess that’s why they are $40 million! If I could afford it, I’d be paying it, and then I’d be driving it.
This is why other supercar brands will never be Ferrari. Legendary car.
Cuz they're better and they're also not trying to be ferrari
@@Martin-xh1hd But, they are objectivly worse then Ferrari and have no important history.
It's not that they don't try to be Ferrari, they can't ever hope to be Ferrari or achive what Ferrari has
@@Martin-xh1hd But seriously, every supercar maker and brand tries to be like Ferrari and none of them are better then a Ferrari
@@Martin-xh1hd bruh !! Wtf are you serious
BoltMix I agree everyone is trying to be Ferrari. But you just can’t buy the heritage, mystique and specialness
That's one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard. What a beautiful machine.
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.
Indeed and, for once, the owner is a a very sympathetic fellow. More often than not, they're complete narcissistic douche bags parading their wealth. Which usually makes the videos utterly unenjoyable to me, no matter how special their vehicle is, so I stop watching.
Imagine the confidence you need to blow this car through those corners
@Skoobidabop - Yes, confidence bred by honing skills! Derek Hill is an experienced racer and has competed in several different classes both in the U.S. and Europe.
@@h3x6g0n6 I totally agree.
@@Skoobidabop it gave me chills to see this car driven in such a way. so beautiful
"So hard to describe?" I'm up for the challenge. >:D
Ur description would be awesome
do it!!!
I can just hear it in that angry voice now.
I look forward to RCR: Ferrari 250GTO.
The rules prevent you from describing it, its not regular
What a sound!!!
kneelandpray2 eargasm
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.
I'm speechless, this car sounds as good as its looks ! Thanks for sharing with us this piece of art.
I reckon it sounds way better than it looks......and I love the way it looks. ;)
TheZed300 I'll second that. What a sound!
Their is a 15 million dollar 250 GTO next to the road at a museum that i pass by every day in Gatlingburg TN (which is a resort town). You could walk right up to it and sit on the hood to take pictures and no one would say a word.. Just type in (Ferrari Gatlingburg TN) in google images
ΩℳℰG 🅰 seems a bit risky no?
Oh shit it's a replica dude. Sorry 🙃
Would love to see his insurance bill for a $40 million car haha
Interesting because Top Gear couldn't / wouldn't afford it a few years back.
In the Uk you get classic insurance for classic cars (very old cars) I came to this video after seeing a gto 250 owned by a patient at work. He told me it was estimated at £28.5million and his insurance is £150 a year, basically nothing
Don't be silly.
Probably self-insured.
no insurance company would insure these cars
The Ferrari 250 GTO is essentially a Work of Art on Four Wheels.
Beautiful when you put subtitles at 1:50 and the roar of the engine considers it ''Music ''.
Even the YT algorythm had to admit it
Driven like it was meant to be and not cooped up in a museum.... practically kissing the guard rail @ 5:30 is just plain awesome!
holy fuck i wouldnt be able to drive it like that, id be scared as fuck to wreck it
Xavier Brenneman My dream is to drive it just like that.. I dont know if you drive but if you do you shouldnt be scared. It most be amazing driving this :/
Xavier Brenneman They were designed to be driven like that. Anything less is disrespectful.
Xavier Brenneman yea, you can get so caught up in how it drives and the sound and the speed and then suddenly break out in a cold sweat when you realize your out on the road in a $50,000,000.00 car..yea, your gonna want to slow it down.
You can drive it, or any car, like that if you have excellent mechanics and money for replacement parts.
Xavier Brenneman you are right, 33million $, you gonna be careful, I dont think insurance will cover that.
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!
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. 😊
Without a doubt, the most special car,in the most special backdrop, with one special owner, and the greatest automotive channel out there. This is the greatness of the Ferrari 250 GTO.
Wauw! Amazing that you guys had the opportunity to make a video about a Ferrari 250 GTO! I LOVE THAT SOUND!
It gave me an erection! lol
WikdSeafood You need to see a doctor
Alfred Munkenbeck Only if he drives for more than four hours.
By far my favourite Petrolicious episode. Incredible scenery, beautifully filmed, starring one of the most valuable cars with a glorious sounding V12, together with a humble, but definitely worthy owner.
52 millions dollar car wtf
more like 38M
Proven ownership by Phil Hill? $50 million is the starting point.
costs half of a doodle by Picasso or Pollock on a canvas
I believe they only made 32 of the Ferrari 250 GTO that's why they're expensive.
It's the white tiger equivalent of the automotive world. Even white tigers can give birth to new baby cubs. 250 GTO can't.
I love the visibility out of the windscreen and looking at this car I don't understand why people think 20" rims look good on anything.
But the seating position is insane.
Even over 50 years after the 250 GTO came out it still excites me more than these Aventadors and Bugatti's and Mclarens etc.... This is without a question my favorite car of all time, sadly i will never come close to owning one but knowing that things like these are still around makes me happy.
Agreed.... I play this clip with loud speakers every so often... always leaves me happy listening to that v12.
I hate Bugatti Veyron, that's good for a rapper video or kitsch persons. But I think McLaren F1- BMW is a great car.
You could buy like 20 buggatis for one too.
sereno353 you'll appreciate the bugatti if you're an engineer.
gurbash washere Horrible design! Horrible taste!
Watching Petrolicious videos, it's hard to resist the temptation to take the very long road back to home after a day's work. Even without a rare car, you guys inspire me to feel the joy of driving.
Just the car, the road and me.
Thanks,
Find myself watching / listening to this video every couple years and it's always thoroughly enjoyable. Particularly good work guys.
That thing sounds like heaven
Italian foreplay at its best! :)
Absolute HELL on 4 wheels.....
It sure does
@@michaelmeliambro5117
Ah shit here we go again. Michael the fuckface is harassing foreign car lovers again.
Wonderful to see such driving on top of the interesting history. Love how the wipers struggle in the wind at 5:20
Maybe I missed it in comments below but what I take away from this is the respect Derek has for his dad, the great Phil Hill. He's a good kid. As a father myself, you can see that he loved his Dad a lot. That to me is as every bit important as all the car related stuff. I hope some of you caught that aspect of this video. It's huge and not to be overlooked.
Absolutely. It speaks highly of Phil as a father to hear the admiration his son has for him.
One of the best I’ve ever seen on here thank you🇮🇹
Absolutely nothing comes close to the sound this beautiful machine makes.
Nothing.
I can not get enough of the videos you all create. They are rare, beautiful, and inspiring. As a gear head I thank you for sharing videos putting a spotlight on the beauty of these machines and the passion of the owners, rather than just the "name" and price tag. I sit around and wait for the new one to release and I am only taken away once again by your art. Thank you.
What a wonderful beast.
I loved the camera shot that made me feel like I was in the passenger seat. Wow.
Well done!
Thanks, good job capturing the sounds and views from in and out of this car.
Like all of your films, this is beautifully done, but whoever the sound engineer is on this, should be up for an award...amazing stuff!!
These videos are amazing! I'm enjoying every second of them.
HistoricRacingHD I feel you
I never thought a car could give me goosebumps from hearing the sound of the engine. This one does.
I never thought a car video could bring tears to my eyes. This one did.
I only recently came upon this CZcams channel and its already become one of my favourites
That engine doesn't roar. It sings!
The Italians had a penchant for opera, that's for sure.
I don't know why but I feel so privileged to be watching this guy drive his car. Thank you for the video. Chills the whole watch.
One of the most incredible sounds I think I’ve ever heard.
Is this the greatest CZcams car video ever made? Maybe not, but it's gotta be in the top 10. The production value & sound quality are both top notch. & the sounds.... my god the sounds!
Without a doubt the 250 GTO is the best car ever made. This video is your best yet. The sound, the story everything about it. That guy has to be one of the luckiest guys in world to be able to call that magnificent work of art his car!
Beautiful car, beautiful sound! Also this video was shot very well!
What a lovely video in every respect, production, sound, background. All cool! Thanks
Thank you for excluding music when the V12 was singing 😍. Great video
I have to come back and watch this video every couple months. It is absolutely extraordinary. Amazing story, amazing filming, amazing car. The sound of this car gives me goosebumps and chills.
Same here… this and Peter Giacobbi’s TR… Absolutely stunning cinematography and story.
One of the best videos on motoring ever made , simply epic~!
epic car, epic history , epic driver , epic interview...
these vids are great! im watching them all, great production value
By far the best part of this video exists at the 1:00 mark. I rarely ever grin while watching car videos; however, I could not contain myself. Amazing video. I wish I could give more than 1 thumbs up.
4:13 to 4:36 overwhelming engine sound. Perfect V12 eargasm
I only have ears for V8's.
Gorgeous images here, an iconic, rare and beautiful racer shot wonderfully while being pushed hard; can't beat it. That sound is just invigorating.... I think it truly appeals to the instintual beast within "Hear me ROAR... and be afraid!"
Mr Hill, Thank you so much for the beautiful footage, through the twisties.I feel its one thing to see and dream (and why not) about a Ferrari, most Ferraris but put a GTO after it and whoa .............
the sound! the sound! the small gap between gear changes. it is perfection, driving perfection. take all of the new super car and sequential gearboxes, i just want to be slower in a cacophony of dreams.
Fantastic!
The most beautiful sound I've never heard!
I keep watching this video, what a machine, you can tell Derek was a racing driver like his dad, and the car is immaculate! And that sound! Wow Wow Wow!
Fantastic! Great video! Beautiful shots and thrilling engine sounds!
Great video, a work of art in every way! Hill is the rare automotive journalist that plays equally well in UK, America and the rest of the world. He has the knowledge coupled with a driving style that backs this up. It makes what he's imparting special. Can you feel it?
PS- Incredible sound and cinematography, absolutely gorgeous.
PSS- Please help Make Top Gear America Great Again.
I'm happy he drives that car like it was meant to be driven instead of throwing it into a shed or museum or some crap. He keeps it alive and strong!
Well this is pretty much as good as it gets, isn't it? How can you top a video like this? The history, the car, the sound, the background, the owner; how can you top it? You just can't.
It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Petrolicious.
Exzeluke
Glad I'm not the only one
Great work! These videos are so well done.
One of the best video,i have see on youtube,this car is a masterpiece...thanks from Italy
Reported video it's against the rules to post pornographic material :P
I'll be in my bunk.
this is better than porn.
Looooooooool
ahahahahaha! I AGREE MY FRIEND!
Michael Meliambro... Bruh
love the video, even better the car and even better the sound!
love this gens cars.... I'm 19 and this is one of my dream cars
Wow, what a beautiful car, what an incredible sound, a driver that knows what he's doing and actually *dares* drive a car like that the way he does, and a very well shot video to boot. All thumbs up!
Eargasm! What a beautiful car. Thank you for sharing and driving this great car in such a picturesque location.
The very best 250 GTO video and audio and story and film I have ever seen, felt or experienced. Run it through your stereo and turn up the driving scenes. Thank you very much
04:12 to 04:44 is beyond a lottery win...I can't even dream this perfectly. Thanks Petrolicious, that POV and soundtrack are conveyed in a way without parallel.
Almost the whole video - driving footage and sound combined with the interview. This is the proper way to shoot and to provide footage!
I've come back to this video at least 6 times. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time I see it. It's great to see it driven by someone who knows how to drive it and doesn't hesitate to push it the way it was built to be pushed. This video presents this unique car as only Petroliocious can. Thanks very much.

I don't normally like older Ferrari cars, but when I do, they are impossible to own.
Not for the wealthy. Some people can't afford a Yugo.
I'm in the Testarossa range right now. But lets say I did sell a few properties and slept in a tent... I still can't have this car. Wealth can't get you everything. Some automobiles are impossible to own.
walperstyle
the problem isnt money its rarity. just trying to find some to sell you one would be a huge challenge
walperstyle Just don't buy a Testarossa. It's the ugliest Ferrari, perhaps even the ugliest car ever made. Unless you meant the 250 Testarossa in which case you'd have to sell your properties and live in a Tent too :D
um...I grew up in the 80's. How dare you claim my generations supercar ugly!
Hi Petrolicious! I love what you're doing with these vids. So wonderful!
What a glorious sound from that motor. A car you have to be actively involved with at every moment. I cringe thinking something is going to jump onto the road when you're airing it out. But then that raucous sound probably sends them running for cover. Thanks for being a great steward of automotive history.
...great video...long live the Ferrari 250 in all it's forms...the epitome of pure Ferrari...
The sound of those down shifts are epic!
I've watched this video every few months for years and I get goosebumps everytime. Incredible
No stereo needed, the car is it’s own soundtrack.
One of the most beautiful cars ever!
One of the most ugliest car in the nine planet including the sun the moon and space
Thanks Odinese for your interesting post...and...get a life!
odinese nwad i think you're talking about yourself that cars beautiful
@@odinesenwad6922 Litterely how?
Na man, the car's beautiful but not that beautiful. But it surely is one of the best sounding cars.
Thank you
Thank you Ferrari engineer
No other car could be compared to this one
Ps. Compared to electric cars, this has a soul, you can feel there's something special in it
That engine sound is intoxicating. Thank you for sharing this video. It truly made my day. What a car!!!!
The pictures, the music, his stories, the sound of that engine. All together this is emotion. @Petrolicious These cars come alive through beautiful videos like this.
BEST car video on CZcams... Winner : Petrolicious !
Edward Lees SunRiseCars agree
mother of god that sound
Love this video. I can't help comming back looking, and LISTENING!, to it over and over and over
I just love what this channel does, driven by enthousiasme. I’m lucky enough to own a dozen of the cars they have portrayed (not that one), about that one, it’s a shame that Italian cars in general like the noise of the pipes instead of the carbs, I changed my 1973 911 from fuel injection to carbs leaving the pipes alone and what a sound. Still I would love to be a passenger in one of these. Keep the feelings going. Thanks
I keep becoming back for the exhaust note. Nothing like a 12 cylinder engine.
The sound is like playing with a satisfying toy, it always delivers
Nice to see the car being driven properly , im a Porsche fan at heart but i have to say the GTO looked and sounded fantastic you did great .
I never get gushy about cars or anything really.This is an incredible video.Oh the sound off that engine is astonishing.
Almost as good as a Rolls Royce Merlin.I think this could be my favourite car,it's beautiful. Thanks for the video.Real quality.
I've driven one of these into a paint booth, best yet scariest few minutes of my life.
What is the music used at 4:50? VERY nice video though. Didn't know all 36 GTO's were still around. Would love to see one of these for real some day. History and art in motion.
love the windscreen wipers moving up the window at speed! great video, great watch!
What a sound! What a work of art and a triumph of engineering from the heart! Was there ever another car that could even come close?
I wish Ferrari would make vintage reissues. :)
You can always find a good quality replica, which would be identical in every technical aspect, but would have no history or true value, for a minute fraction of the price.
This wouldn't work, because modern cars need to have safety equipment like a third brake light or airbags. If Ferrari would make a reissue it wouldn't be road legal
There's a guy in New Zealand makes replicas of these, but not the series two.
GTO Engineering makes Ferrari reconstruction cars, which are equal or better than the original ie: true copies of superb quality, look them up, UK based Ferrari experts.......
@@georgipartsalev6193 BECK 550 Porsche Spyder., better than the original.
I'm one of those few people who actually think the Series 2 looks better. It's an astonishingly beautiful car, and that sound... Perfect.
Beautiful shots! Nice video
Me encanta la clase y estilo de este canal, saludos desde México
