The Ferrari 330 P4 is One Sexy Beast

[Music] one of the things I think everybody or people ask me from driving it theythey would say what's it like to drive you know past the value the scarcity of eels when the other leads to drive it I would say that compared to almost any other car especially cars than some of the modern era with slicks and all sorts of switches and all chorus sorts of even with the driver aids this car is a car that almost anybody can jump into and drive fast right away it simply does nothing wrong it does everything right it tells you everything's fine and it tells you keep going and go faster [Music] not to change the way you think the way you behave the way you drive you just drive it and go that's incredibly rare [Music] this is one of the most significant Ferrari race cars of all time it's also arguably one of the most beautiful sports racing cars ever made this is the only original before in the world [Music] this car was built sort of as a counter-attack through the gt40 which was doing very very well at the time as a matter of fact the Daytona 24 hours 1967 which was a season this car raced in Ferrari had a 1-2-3 finish and with the p4 is in this car finished second and it was not a Bellini green it was very real and all Ferrari it's a great sight if you know what you're looking at especially because you understand what Ferrari was and where they were at that time and who they were fighting against in terms of the size of a company like Ford and also later on the season chaparral and the resources that they had just the effort that it takes to finish 24-hour rays to build a car like this and to get three of them one two three on the podium is really really exceptional [Music] [Applause] the error that the disbar was built in was probably soared towards the tail end of the point in time where everything was made by hand you had artisans and craftsmen building this car building these cars seeing the hammer marks understanding the decisions people made to make these things it is absolutely a piece of art that is also a piece of technology that works extremely well if you're gonna draw it to design a manual shifter that's what you wanted to feel like like this car the steering you want to feel like this car the throttle you wanted to feel like this car you could come up with a prototype that says what sort of feel should you have in a race car of this type this is it [Music] every time I sit in one of these cars I think of the people who have raced them whether it's you know Mark Donohue or Chris Amon or Enzo Bandini I sit there and I think you're being allowed in this lifetime to drive this thing it's it's it's a obviously fantastic privilege and a great honor and a responsibility and it really adds something to the experience it's not like you're feeling ghosts but you realize also over time the quality of the input that these people had and one of the reasons why this car is so good is if the guys were driving it we're really good they knew what they're doing they knew what to ask for they knew how to make it better so you're sitting in this car sort of inheriting all the effort and the talent that these people whether the craftsmen's or the drivers of teams put into these machines that's what makes them great it's not by accident it's all the people and the hearts and the energy and the minds of the people who are there truly the talents that build these machines that make them what they are [Music] [Music]
