In today’s world of 4k video and 60fps YouTube streams, car enthusiasts can enjoy some of the most visually appealing car content in history. Our ability to access unlimited hours of high-quality visual content dulls the effect over time, which is why JayEmm on Cars’ latest video made such an impact.

His idea was simple, film a 1990s car with 1990s equipment, and the results are perfection. This home movie-style car review of the Ferrari F355 F1 stands out as one of the most unique viewing experiences in a very long time.

In 1997 the Ferrari F355 made quite a splash on the market taking the car review segment by storm and establishing a new level of supercar performance. The F355 came at a time when Ferrari was the undisputed king of Formula 1 racing and the consumer supercar segment where it had very little competition. The F355 brought the mid-engine V8 Ferrari into the modern age and also gave customers who didn’t want to drive manual an automatic option with the controversial F1 single-clutch-automatic transmission.

The 3.5-litre V8 in the F355 utilised a unique five-valve cylinder head for better airflow and produced 375 bhp (279 kW) at 8,250 rpm and 268 lb-ft (363 Nm) of torque. This engine was mated to either a gated 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed F1 automatic. The frame is a steel monocoque with a tubular steel subframe for a rigid structure that allowed for refined handling. To develop the slippery exterior design, Ferrari spent over 1,300 hours in a wind tunnel refining the design to cut through the air as efficiently as possible.

Going all the way back to 1997 gives you a new appreciation from the moment and just how far things have progressed. Our cars are faster, and our video cameras offer clarity you could not have dreamed of in 1997.
