So cool
Left or Right?
Now we drive right, direction Autobahn
Let´s schift into 2. gear
It does it easy, it spins to 8.000 rounds per minute
I know that from my M5
Not hit the gas a little bit
Now our drivers license would be in danger
This is totaly crazy, as soon as you hit the gas, it goes quick
How many seconds does it take to 100? In about 4 seconds
When you drive towards the traffic light, it automaticly changes the gear into 1., there´s no need to do anything
It automaticly shifts down
That´s nice
Now we at 60 km/h, everything is good. 60 is a good speed 15 00:01:28,00 --> 00:01:32,00 It´s got 6 gears, like it´s shown
Now we can change gear into 3.
There we have bad luck, the traffic light keeps red, we have to stop
But the car has power in every gear
Start in 3. gear is no problem, that´s ok
Do you fell it, it shifts clean. Because Many automatic gearboxes are not that clean.
I know it from the BMW E60 M5 SMG, every shifting causes a head shake, doesn´t matter in which shifting speed programm, but this is way better.
Now we drive onto the Autobahn
You can also drive comfortable in the 6. gear. You can do everything with this car, you can cruise, but you also can merciless. You can also drive great through the city, because many of the older Ferraris are useless in city traffic
Change into 4. gear, that we can accelerate fast
Hit the gas. Super. Perfect
Do you heare the sound? Awesome, isn´t it?
This is definitely awesome!
Stay in the 4. gear, than we can accelerate fast
Can you feel it? It accelerates so fast, that´s crazy. And you relly feel that the power is always there
There it opens the valves
Crazy isn´t it? Great
You can give me the keys immediately, I´ll keep the car, it´s bought. Ok.
Let´s switch into sport mode
I always say Maserati GranTurismo S sounds like an orchestra, here it´s similar. Especially this high revving V8, this sound is unique. At higher rmp it´s brutal, there comes power, sound, everything. Like you said, than it´s like an orchestra.
Now open the throttle again
It´s fun, isn´t it? You can´t describe it, fun is understated
The problem is, that you are permanent in dangour to lose your drivers license
On a sunny Saturday, it´s very dangerous
To switch into neutral you have to pull both paddles, right? Exactly
For some people it´s too much
You realize again and again, that if you have a higher class car that you have two groups. Some are glad with you and enjoy it, others are jealous and grudge you. That´s right.
That´s normal. I don´t give a *** about them.
For example the Porsche Boxster, some people say that it is a *** car but for real, it´s a great car. Most of the people who say that, won´t ever be able to afford this car or have no clue. It drives like a beast. Especialy the new one, its handling. It´s awesome
Try to drive with about 3.000 - 4.000 rpm, because of the sound. Hit the gas
When do the valves open? At about 3.500 rpm. Do you hear the sound, insance isn´t it?
If I could, I would drive around 24/7 with a fuel tanker behind me. It makes so much fun
The brakes are tight. They are Carbon-Keramik brakes, if they are warm it´s great
It´s amazingly equipped. The one who equipped the car had a good taste. Because most of the people who have money, have no taste.
It´s so much fun to drive around in the second gear, let the valves open and play with the gas. I love to do that. Some people think I´m silly but I don´t care
Why have you taken a coupe? I don´t like the spider. Earlier I had cabriolets but I had always problems with my health
You´re a very good driver, great! Thank you. I´m used to drive sports cars like Porsche, Maserati BMW ///M, but this is a higher league
But you do it really good! I can see that you´re a petrolhead!
Now we turn left
There´s no train coming. No, but if there would, the cards would be stacked against us 55 00:14:04,00 --> So respect, you´re a really good driver. Thank you, it made a lot of fun. Next time we can take the R8 or the Gallardo. Send me an E-Mail because at the next big event with Walter Röhrl, we will have more cars
