Petrolicious has come a long way in a short time. They started with nice videos of passion-worthy, but very obtainable cars like the Datsun 510 and early Nissan Skyline. In just over a year, they’ve proved themselves worthy of being trusted to film one of the most valuable cars in the world today – a Ferrari 250 GTO.
Well done, sirs!!
The following is a feast for the eyes and especially for the ears. It’s a nice little history lesson, too, directly from the son of one of Ferrari’s own factory drivers. The driving footage and accompanying soundtrack from just after the 4-minute mark is perhaps some of the most drool-worthy motoring film I’ve ever seen.
A couple of asides….. keep an eye on the windscreen wiper from time to time, and watch how the speed makes it wiggle. Also, is this the most beautiful gearshift housing ever placed in a car?
Put it on full-screen, turn up the sound, and Enjoy. Again and again.
WOW!
Intoxicating.
Brilliant.
oh the sound! How fortunate to have a father who was a highly successful Ferrari test driver, and to get the chance to follow at least somewhat in his footsteps. Suppose I could get an Escort van.
Petrolicious is really owning this little space now, good on them for giving us such excellent content, free! Video conent seems to be the way forward – digestable, accessible. But there’s still plenty of room for traditional long form copy, as long as it has personality, insight and depth – what you bring to the table best, Swade.
Ferrarilicious.
Absolutely beautiful. I think Petrolicious is doing some fine work. Always interesting subject matter, and the final videos are so well put together.
