Ferrari 288 GTO: TaxTheRich at it again

Farmyards, Ferraris and a pleasing lack of reverence for pedigree Prancing Horses? Business as usual!

---

High concept the TaxTheRich videos are not. Fun they most definitely are. We've been here before with an Enzo, two F50s and, of course, that notorious Rolls-Royce. But now the boys really are playing with fire. Well, fireworks. 288 GTO not explosive enough on its own? It seems not, there now being something close to a 'story'. And pyrotechnics. And skidding.

Not to mention a tenuous and jaw dropping extrapolation of the fact the 288 GTO was built for Group B. Safe to say it's unlikely many others have been used in this way...

See here.

I'm looking forward to the next video if it has THAT F40 in it!
Cracking vid this time round though, I am supremely jealous of them.

Mine too. Automotive styling perfection (post 60's)

OT, but around 2:50, is that the same place where 'James' had the race against the Aussies in the Top Gear Ashes special?

Fantastic car control and well what a car!

F40 at the end looked just like this http://www.dkeng.co.uk/ferrari-sales/376/Blue_Chip... (stolen from a comment on the youtube video)

Out!

Fantastic video, I love the (tongue in cheek, surely) references to the Ken Block stuff. How can anyone not LOVE seeing cars like that doing stuff like this!

Don't get it, nice motor guv, but a few clips of it driving about, why is everyone getting so moist over these vids?

Because this is a motoring enthusiasts forum and its a very rare car being driven for fun and not locked away in a private collection somewhere

Millionaire who bought cars and ragged them round his estate with his pals. This is the same but with more expensive cars.

Fair enough, its their money. Its just 'meh'.

Do something interesting with these very nice toys.
