[VIDEO]: Glorious Supercar caravan: 288GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo!

C&C: The gathering before and cruise over!

A very rare sight, even for Southern California. Again, thanks to the owners for making this possible.

*Click for video*

 

great video , i read about this in the usa section , looks like a great display , nice to see them out and about .

 

Good stuff, Elliot!

 

Thanks T!

 

Awesome vid. Thanks

 

The F50 has the nicest wheels ever.

 

I love them all, but I really think the F50 is my favorite. Thanks for the video.

 

Really? I think they are the worst part of the car LOL.

 

I wish these type of things were seen in Oklahoma Amazing collection of cars and looks like a good time.

Good job Elliot!

It was a nice event thanks to Jeffrey for thinking of this and bringing the F50, John for bringing the F40, and Gerald the Enzo.

Of course videos generally only give you a hint of the true sights & sounds.

What strikes with these four Ferrari Supercars is how there is something for everyone, in terms of the vast differences in styling.

So too, the sounds produced by each car are so vastly different (to my ear at least).

I was sorry to get back home because the GTO was running really well and felt like it wanted to drive more! I guess there is no substitute for driving these things and hopefully this year we can do so a bit more...

 

I would surly drive into a telephone pole if I ever saw that in person randomly.

 

I love that video. I was totally grinning the whole time watching it.

 

Was a great day Joe!

Good to see them on the road.

Last picture just shows how much of a beast and how wide the 288 is.

 

Excellent observation... At 73 inches wide, the 288 GTO Supercar is as wide as some cars are long.

 

Wide yes, but not even close to the F40 and F50 that were over 78" wide, and the Enzo is about 80" wide.

 

Yes Ferrari Supercars have gotten progressively wider & heavier...

 

Wider is good though Joe, well not over 80". Then parking becomes an issue LOL.


And when you think about it the weight gain wasn't to bad. If I recall a GTO was about 2600 pounds, the F40 about 2700 pounds and the F50 and Enzo are both about 3000 pounds. Not to bad of a progression. IMO anything around 3000 pounds or less is "light".

 

Wider is not necessarily better, and they are becoming an almost impractical width. The cars are putting on weight, getting bigger and fatter (sound familiar?)

Anyway, the GTO weighs 2,657 lbs, and the USA F40 weighs 3,056 lbs with half-a-tank. I haven't weighed the F50 and the Enzo but they weigh more than that with half-a-tank of gas...

 

Only fitting that the F50 leads the pack.

F50 is king. 6-spd, no TC, suspension mounted directly to gearbox, detuned F1 V12... wow.

 

Of the other cars there that day it certainly was the one that impressed me the most...
