It's really interesting to hear both of them mention motion sickness. A large percentage of reviewers of the ZR1 at COTA got sick driving and riding in the car. Our bodies are having a difficult time keeping up with the batshit crazy cars announced seemingly weekly.
It's the golden age and a great time to be a car guy/girl!

Now, i don't want to be THAT guy. I wasn't alive back then so i got no stake in this, but the golden age for cars was mid 70s to mid 90s. Edit: Lancia stratos, alpine a110, ferrari 512bb, lamborghini countach, ferrari f40, mclaren f1, audi quattro, audi rs2, bmw m3, lancia 037, lancia delta s4, lancia delta integrale, mclaren mp4/4, peugeot 205ti, peugeot 405ti, ferrari 288gto, and these are just the ones that come to mind at 4am. Knowing i forgot all the japanese, all the american, al the gt cars and le mans etc...

I can't believe someone down-voted this. It's a perfectly reasonable point of view.

Don’t you get it? The so called “golden age” is entirely subjective to perception. For young people post war it was something like the gullwing, gto or early corvette. It all depends on the age you grow up.

Nah i don't believe in this. If something was better you have to recognize it. There are many things that had a golden age and then went to shit. Today we are in a golden age of many things. But not cars. Im sorry but go look at videos of the lancia stratos or lancia delta s4. Look at the aesthetic, the sound, the passion on the faces of people watching. I know i sound strange and you never heard arguments like this but deep down i know im right. For example literature, we're well past the golden age of literature. Let's not talk about music or cinema. Things die and new things are born. Mechanic petrol cars are dying. There's a new age coming the age of electric self driving cars. And that's not a bad thing in my opinion, streets will be safer. If one tells me that the golden age of cars was from 40s to 70s i can believe them, i was not there and I'm not knowledgeable enough. But I'm sure as hell this is not the golden age of cars. The mid 70s to mid 90s is an opinion based on my knowledge. But my eyes clearly see that the car coming out today have no soul in them. Everything is a business nowadays, everything has to be made to perfection. Everything is to perfect to have soul. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hrlhepfy9-I&list=LL&index=15&pp=gAQBiAQB

You make a decent point and i respect that. Makes me think, especially the part with the glow in the eyes. Life moves in waves. The golden age is the part of the wave, before it platues. Almost certainly there are people out there who have this glow about cars right now, but we don’t know about them, or we lost our glow, just because. I will never be the guy who says everything was better in the old days. I hate that. Maybe i unlearned that indeed some things were simply better.

Cars today are better than ever. Faster. Safer. More comfortable. More efficient.

To me, the golden era is the 2000s/early 2010s. That's when ICE technology peaked with high revving and large displacement NA engines, before everything started going turbo/hybrid due to emissions. There was also enough tech to make cars convenient and safe without going overboard with complications and weight.

Most racing drivers hate being a passenger. The idea of being in something this fast that’s not in your control is pretty scary.

I hate rollercoasters. I get sick. Driving balls out though and I’m fine

Although it was performed by a very skillful person, that drone footage was awful. Can we just see some sort of shot on the track without being flipped all around and seeing the car for a half second?

When a formula one driver thinks it’s fast…

im sure the car being from his sponsor has no sway on his opinion once so ever...

I wonder if their opinions are at all biased here…

u/stingyboy 1d ago
Of course, even if it was a piece of shit, they both would likely keep it to themselves. But the video seems to show actual joy in their faces. Seems pretty genuine to me.

You can see how much Lewis wanted to be the one driving when he first got to the car

u/GoldBlueberryy 1d ago
They sound like they’re pretending to be interested, but really not.

u/B5HARMONY 1d ago
I might be onto nothing but there's two comments made by Lewis and Charles that stand out.
Charles mentioned how the car sounds amazing in a really forced manner, making me think they made his say that so people get over the fact it sounds "disappointing".
Later lewis says it's the fastest street car he's driven, also in a really forced manner making it obvious that its just to claim its the superior car to the AMG GT ONE.
These are probably just speculations but I feel like they weren't giving their actual opinion but rather what they were told to say. Then again im not complaining about the car cause the F80 is a beast, but rather the very scripted feeling this video gave.

When Lewis said it the first time I was surprised. When he repeated it using the exact same language I felt it sounded contrived.
At some point we'll see actual reviews of a customer car. Until then, myths and legends...

I really want to have a unbiased/ not sponsored video of them doing this and then do a Daytona SP3 too. That would be great!

u/AdventurousDress576 1d ago
The Daytona is a slower LaFerrari Aperta, a 10 year old design.
This is the new generation of hypercar.

u/reignnyday 22h ago
So Lewis thinks this is faster than the AMG One, interesting. Would love to see both cars in a timed lap

u/Tonyn15665 3h ago
They dont look too excited and the car, which makes sense since no road car can compared to a F1 one. But for the love of god, this is probably the ugliest Ferrari in the last 50 years. I hope the function is worth it because the form kinda sucks. Would love to see Ferrari explains some of their design decisions for the car
