Ferrari – Jeremy Clarkson (2019)
This glossy, opinionated tribute by Top Gear’s bombastic host Jeremy Clarkson dives into the mystique of Ferrari, blending automotive history, technical insights, and his signature irreverent wit. From Enzo’s tyrannical genius to the F40’s raw madness, Clarkson dissects why Ferrari isn’t just a car—it’s an Italian cultural phenomenon (and occasional “overpriced clown shoe”).
- Clarkson Unfiltered: Praises the 250 GTO as God’s own chariot, roasts the Ferrari FF as a “shooting brake for wankers.”
- Behind the Prancing Horse: Factory visits, interviews with engineers, and Enzo’s “sell the dream, not the metal” ethos.
- Stunning Photography: Glossy shots of classics (Testarossa, LaFerrari) and race legends (Niki Lauda’s 312T).
For Petrolheads Who Also Enjoy:
- The Beast in the Garage – James May – Clarkson’s Grand Tour co-host on automotive obsession.
- Go Like Hell – A.J. Baime – Ford vs. Ferrari at Le Mans, sans Clarkson’s snark.
- Ferrari 75 Years – Dennis Adler – A more reverent (but less funny) visual history.
“Where horsepower meets hubris—and the exhaust note is a Pavarotti aria.”
Note: Clarkson’s “Ferrari should’ve stuck to tractors” rants are almost as entertaining as his drive in the F355.
