McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Ferrari Purosangue vs Lamborghini Urus: Which Italian Sup...

Two Italian SUVs with supercar hearts duke it out. Relatively new in the automotive industry, the concept of the luxury performance SUV has not only become quite popular among enthusiasts and collectors, but it has also been taken to what seems to be the absolute extreme. Manufacturers known for their high-performance luxury cars and supercars have revealed new SUV models, which combine high performance and driving thrill with the comfort, practicality, and everyday enjoyment of a luxury SUV. The list of manufacturers that create these desirable “Super SUVs” are two of Italy’s premier supercar makers: Ferrari and Lamborghini. Lamborghini unveiled its SUV first: the Urus, which arrived for the 2018 model year, after its concept version from 2012 enjoyed positive reception. After rumors swirled for years about a possible Ferrari SUV, the Prancing Horse finally revealed the Ferrari Purosangue in 2022. According to Ferrari, the Purosangue is, rather than an SUV, the manufacturer’s first “four-door four-seater.” Both vehicles combine supercar-level performance and style with luxury, practicality, and comfort, but which one is better? Keep reading, and you’ll find out how the Ferrari Purosangue and the Lamborghini Urus stack up next to each other. View All Ferrari Purosangue For Sale View All Lamborghini Urus For Sale Ferrari Purosangue Specs While the Ferrari Purosangue is the first of its kind within Ferrari’s lineup, the manufacturer ensured that it would stay true to Ferrari’s roots, and imbued it with thrilling dynamics and robust performance, including four-wheel steering, and a 49:51 weight distribution. Lamborghini Urus Specs Lamborghini’s most popular model, the Urus, now facelifted as the Urus S since 2023, boasts brash performance, as well as the ability to off-road (within reason). In addition to the Urus S, Lamborghini has also introduced the Urus Performante, which broke a record at Pikes Peak before being introduced, and the Urus SE, the plug-in hybrid version of the Urus, which is also the most powerful version yet. Regarding the specs, the Lamborghini Urus emerges victorious thanks to its versatility, hybrid innovation, and multiple variants. Specs Winner: Lamborghini Urus Ferrari Purosangue Engine The Ferrari Purosangue, despite being different than any Ferrari that came before it, has one special detail that cements it as a genuine Ferrari and sets it apart from the rest of the world’s Super SUVs: a V12 engine. With its naturally aspirated V12 engine, the Ferrari Purosangue boasts 715 horsepower and 528 lb/ft of torque. Lamborghini Urus Engine The Lamborghini Urus employs the use of a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine in all its variants. In the Urus S, it has 656 horsepower, in the Urus Performante, it has 666 horsepower, and in the range-topping Urus SE it has 789 horsepower thanks to its plug-in hybrid assist. With impressive power as well as its commitment to purist performance, the Ferrari Purosangue boasts the superior engine. Engine Winner: Ferrari Purosangue Ferrari Purosangue Interior The Ferrari Purosangue is the first Ferrari to feature both four seats and four doors, and it made sure to make that clear. The rear doors open coach-style, and they are also power operated, greeting passengers to two luxurious, fully-adjustable rear seats with luxurious accommodations, offering a comfortable and thrilling performance experience for everyone. Lamborghini Urus Interior The interior of the Lamborghini Urus boasts Lamborghini’s signature blend of edgy design and luxury, pairing luxurious materials with racing-inspired carbon fiber and high-tech features throughout. The Ferrari Purosangue wins the interior category thanks to its special rear-seat accommodations and elegant Ferrari design. Interior Winner: Ferrari Purosangue Ferrari Purosangue Performance Thanks to its V12 engine, the Ferrari Purosangue manages to get to 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.3 seconds, rocketing to a top speed of 193 mph. It’s also a thrilling car to take through corners, as well, with its all-wheel steering, all-wheel drive, and supercar-level weight distribution of 49:51. Lamborghini Urus Performance With its 789 horsepower and 700 lb/ft of torque, the most powerful Lamborghini Urus, the hybrid Lamborghini Urus SE, gets from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 194 mph. However, the lighter, more performance-focused Performante gets from 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, and the Urus S takes 3.1 seconds to get to that speed. The Ferrari Purosangue shines with its V12 engine, high performance, and impressive dynamics. While the Lamborghini Urus boasts better versatility and off-road capability with a hybrid, performance, and a standard variant, the Purosangue is the superior performance vehicle. Performance Winner: Ferrari Purosangue Ferrari Purosangue Investment Value Ferraris are known for their exclusivity and collector’s item potential, and despite being unlike other Ferraris in its body style, the Purosangue is no exception in this regard. Ferrari hasn’t announced a specifically limited production number for the Purosangue, but the Purosangue has proven a highly exclusive vehicle, with demand for examples on the second-hand market reaching incredible heights with lofty price tags. Lamborghini Urus Investment Value Thanks to it being the most popular model in Lamborghini’s lineup, with supercar performance as well as comfort and practicality, the Lamborghini Urus carries considerable value on the second-hand market. The Performante variant, however, carries a higher value thanks to its enhanced performance. The Ferrari Purosangue benefits from Ferrari’s revered legacy and its increased exclusivity compared to the Lamborghini Urus, and wins the investment category.

Carlos Sainz Bids Farewell To Ferrari With The Delivery O...

Along with holding the title of a professional Formula 1 racing driver, the perks of driving for Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 extend far beyond the race track. For Carlos Sainz Jr., those extras take shape as invitations to configure rare and exclusive Ferrari models like the limited-edition 812 Competizione. And while the 30-year-old Spanish driver will be competing with Williams Racing for the 2025 F1 season, Ferrari perfectly bid its farewell with the delivery of his brand-new $3 million Daytona SP3 supercar. The team at Ferrari Scuderia Monte-Carlo just took to its Instagram to pull the covers on Carlos' Daytona SP3, unveiling a sinister spec that perfectly matches his 812 Competizione. Finished in a stealthy matte black with subtle red pinstriping, only a handful of hidden easter eggs would lead you to believe that it belongs to Sainz. Those custom factory touches, courtesy of Ferrari's Tailor Made division, include Calrlos' #55 on the lower side skirt and his famous, hand-painted 'Smooth Operator' insignia on both the engine intake covers and center console. Inside, the Daytona SP3's all-black carbon cabin is contrasted with red Alcantara sport bucket seats and black racing harnesses. The Ferrari Daytona SP3 packs a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 engine, borrowed from the 812 Competizione but tuned for even power. It delivers a jaw-dropping 829 horsepower and 514 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful road-going Ferraris ever. Paired with a quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the SP3 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.85 seconds, with a top speed of 211 mph.

A Ferrari 328 GTS roars in the studio, its sleek red curves accentuated by colorful graph lines and circles, offering a visual symphony of data-driven insights.

By Charles Bradley – December 09, 2024

Data-Driven insight: What Makes the Ferrari 328 GTS a Goo...

The Ferrari 328 GTS is an eye-catching car that promises much for a buyer on many levels – and its stock is on the rise as its 40th anniversary approaches in 2025. How many Ferrari 328 GTS cars were built? Launched in 1985, a four-year run produced 6,068 cars, built after the 308 line. With its larger engine (hence the ‘2’ in the model number), the 328 GTS boasts elegant Pininfarina styling with a Targa roof that looks great, whether on or off. The hardtop version, the 328 GTB, might have a stiffer chassis but lacks the extra headroom afforded by the GTS – and the sheer driving pleasure with the top down. What are the main selling points of the Ferrari 328 GTS? The Ferrari 328 GTS’s mid-engine 3.2-liter V8 produces 270 horsepower – good for a top speed of over 160mph. And who doesn’t like pop-up headlights and five-spoke Speedline wheels? One major selling point is its ‘analogue’ nature, and it packs a reputation as one of Ferrari’s most durable and easy-to-maintain models. Without a reliance on complex electronics – it has Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection and a stout five-speed manual gearbox – it’s shown strong value retention, with prices on the rise for well-maintained examples, and they have fairly rocketed recently for low mileage cars. Auction Results for the 328 GTS (In-person and Offline). Source: HammerPrice What do you need to know before you buy a Ferrari 328 GTS? As with all makes and models, you must focus on the condition, mileage, specification and options, and service history of the car. The condition of its interior is a major selling point of the Ferrari 328 GTS – given that it’s a Targa-top car, it’s very important to check there’s no water damage. Another aspect to check for is the car’s paint code readings; if it has been repainted incorrectly, this will ruin its appeal to the Ferrari community. This is just as important as having a ‘clean’ title with a spotless Carfax history. Average Price of Ferrari 328 GTS Listings on duPontREGISTRY.com What are the known issues with the Ferrari 328 GTS? Front wheel bearings are the most-reported issues with the Ferrari 328 GTS, but this can be aided by regular greasing. As with many classic cars, starting motor issues have arisen, and it’s a good idea to ensure that the car’s engine is warmed-up before any strenuous driving activity. Exhaust manifolds also require regular inspection, as they have been known to crack. The electronic heater and ventilation controls can also be problematic. How many Ferrari 328 GTS cars have sold this year? Per online sales auction data from The Daily Vroom, 17 Ferrari 328 GTS cars were sold in 2024, while six failed to sell. Most of the inventory (72%) was from model years 1985 and ’86, but the later-year examples appear more desirable and sell for a higher price – perhaps as ABS was introduced in mid-1988. Ferrari 328 GTS Listings 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS View Price And Listing 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS View Price And Listing What is the average price of Ferrari 328 GTS sales? This year’s online sales auction total for the 328 GTS is $1.8 million to date, with an average price per sale of $90k. The best online sale price was $138,000, for a 22,000-mile 1989 car. Judging by the comments on this example, this particular car’s value is expected to head north in years to come. What is the record price for a Ferrari 328 GTS? The record price paid for a 328 GTS was set in 2024 at $335,000 for a truly ‘time capsule’ example with only 244 miles on the clock, which was sold at Broad Arrow’s Monterey Jet Center auction. It was built in March 1989, is Ferrari Classiche-certified and awarded ‘first in class’ at the 2020 Cavallino Classic – a true pinnacle example of this car. 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS 4,407 MilesUS SpecSold for $152,000 (BP Included)Sold through SOMO 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS 400 MilesEuro SpecSold for $173,350 (BP Included)Sold through SOMO What is the most-recent sale price of a Ferrari 328 GTS? An original-owner 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS, with 27,000 miles on the clock, sold on September 23, 2024, for $121,000 on Bring a Trailer. What price range does the Ferrari 328 GTS sell for at auction? Per Hammer Price data, another 13 Ferrari 328 GTS cars were sold at auction in 2024, for a total of $1.7 million, with a further four failing to reach their reserve. Besides the $335k outlier, another standout low-milage 328 GTS (with 647 miles on the clock) sold for $239,250 at Mecum’s Indianapolis auction in May. At the opposite end of the scale, a 1988 model with 55,000 miles on the clock sold for $68,392 at Saint-Tropez in June. Conclusion Although it’s perhaps underrated in Ferrari’s glittering product range, when it comes to the size of the bang for your buck, the 328 GTS is both a driveable classic car and a solid investment.

Check Out Canelo Álvarez's Collection Of Exclusive Ferrar...

The lineup features Ferrari's best of the best. Coming off a weekend full of action in the boxing ring, it seems as though we are catching a glimpse into the ultra-luxury lifestyles of the biggest names in the fight world. Along with Jake Paul's $7 million Jacob & Co. Billionaire watch and his $1 million walk-out outfit at the Paul vs Tyson event, Mexican professional boxer Canelo Álvarez decided to join in by showcasing his jaw-dropping lineup of exclusive Ferrari supercars and hypercars in a post on his Instagram page. With a championship-winning career and $250 million net worth, it's safe to say that we wouldn't expect anything less when wondering what lies in his garage collection. In the short clip, Canelo does a quick walk around of his Ferrari 488 Pista, Ferrari LaFerrari, and newly acquired Ferrari Purosangue. Considering the sheer difficulty of securing just one of these examples, Canelo most definitely has some pull in the industry to own three of Ferrari's most expensive models. While the LaFerrari stands out as the pinnacle of Maranello's history with a $3 million price tag and an entry into the hybrid hypercar world, the 488 Pista represents the brand's track-focused DNA with design, technology, and performance derived from Scuderia Ferrari F1. But it's the Purosangue that leads us to believe that Álvarez is a true Ferrari collector, as it is the first SUV from the supercar manufacturer and the most desirable among current Ferrari owners. With high-dollar future fights on his schedule for 2025, we can't wait to see what Canelo Álvarez adds to his car collection next.

With a entertaining history of Ferrari ownership, the famous YouTuber adds another Italian supercar to his garage. If the name WhistlinDiesel doesn't ring a bell, you've probably never been on YouTube or witnessed the mayhem that makes him one of the most talked about channels. Whether it's building a dual-diesel engine monster truck, putting a Mercedes-AMG G63 to the ultimate off-road test, or flying around the world to buy retired military tanks, WhistlinDiesel and his team continue to push the boundaries of what is possible for its more than 8.5 million subscribers. Of all the uploads, the most viral stands out as a durability series where a $400,000 Ferrari F8 Tributo was purchased purely with the intention of destroying it. WhistlinDiesel took to Instagram to show off the newest addition to his garage fleet, a 986 horsepower Ferrari SF90 Stradale finished in matte black. WhistlinDiesel made the trip from Tennessee to South Florida to pick up his new Ferrari from the team of supercar specialists at Limited Spec Automotive. He shared an Instagram post of his delivery with the caption, "New Batmobile ? #SF90." The SF90 Stradale now joins a fleet that includes everything thing from rare, imported Toyota Hilux trucks to a twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Huracan.

Ferrari Reports Strong Q3 Earnings With A Focus On Produc...

On track to finish out the year in style, Ferrari just released stats and figures from Q3 2024. Ferrari’s third-quarter earnings reflect steady growth, with revenue up 6.5% to approximately $1.7 billion. The boost comes mainly from strong customer demand across its lineup, including models like the Purosangue and Roma Spider, as well as initial deliveries of the SF90 XX Spider. The company shipped 3,383 vehicles this quarter, with its luxury portfolio leaning slightly toward hybrid models, which made up 55% of deliveries. Adjusted profits rose 13%, and earnings per share increased to $2.08, signaling Ferrari’s momentum in the car market. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna noted the company’s efforts in innovation and sustainability, such as the recent shutdown of the Maranello gas-powered plant as part of Ferrari’s plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. He also emphasized the success of the new F80 supercar, a limited-production model that joins Ferrari’s iconic lineup. With its continued focus on hybrid and electrified models, Ferrari’s future seems aimed at combining Italian performance with lower emissions. Ferrari’s cash flow saw an uptick this quarter, reaching about $385 million, while net debt dropped to $260 million. The strong cash position and positive growth signal Ferrari’s focus on future product development and the development of sustainable technologies. With a full order book extending through 2026, the company remains confident about the year ahead, with plans for new sponsorships and a balanced product lineup to support its milestones.

Ferrari Collector David Lee Takes Delivery Of His Green C...

What a way to celebrate a birthday! Amongst all of the fuel-driven Italian prancing horses engineered by Ferrari, a select few stand out as part of an ultra-exclusive series that carry on the legacy of Enzo and the brand's historic involvement in motorsports. Available only to hand-selected Ferrari owners, models like the LaFerrari, Monza SP1/SP2, and Daytona SP3 often live in impressive collections alongside other Italian icons. It's an experience that brand ambassador Ferrari Collector David Lee knows all too well, showcasing Ferrari's Big Five (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari) in both red and yellow. David recently documented the delivery of his brand-new Ferrari Daytona SP3, which coincidentally happened on his birthday. In the parking lot of Hing Wa Lee Jewelers, where his car collection resides below in an underground garage, the transport truck opens to reveal the Daytona SP3 finished in an exposed green carbon finish. The eye-catching spec shies away from David's traditional choice of red or yellow, but still falls in line with his 812 Competizione and Roma Spider. A yellow gold, green-dial Rolex 'John Mayer' Daytona even made a subtle appearance in a sea of green. In addition to matte gold wheels, a matching gold SP3 racing stripe was added as a last-minute option and tied together the entire design. While we're anticipating a full review and first drive, a sneak peek into the interior shows off a light canvas-textured cabin. With an 840 horsepower V12 that screams up to 9,500 rpm, it's more than safe to say that Ferrari Collector David Lee will be enjoying Daytona SP3 ownership.

94-Year-Old Fulfills Her Racing Dream With 150MPH Laps In...

Donna is the best track passenger! Being passionate car enthusiasts, we can all remember that moment or specific car that fueled a lifelong love for all things automotive. It's the type of passion that motivates us all to work hard to one day own the cars that sparked it all. And while you may not be as close to buying that Ferrari you've always dreamed of, companies like Xtreme Xperience offer the chance to drive or ride in supercars in track settings with its impressive lineup of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and more. For 94-year-old Donna, it has always been a dream of her's to be a thrill-seeking test driver, and her senior living facility wanted to make that a reality. As part of Waltonwood Twelve Oaks' Life Enrichment Adventure Program, the staff worked with Xtreme Xperience to get Donna in the passenger seat of a Ferrari 488 GTB. Piloted by a professional driver, the Rosso Corsa Ferrari made a few blistering laps around Michigan International Speedway, reaching more than 150mph. Where most would be gripping the door handle in fear, Donna was all smiles as she rolled into the pit lanes after the ride of a lifetime. She even took home a matching 1:8 scale Ferrari 488 GTB model as a souvenir. Hats off to Waltonwood Twelve Oaks’ Adventure Program for showing Donna and the rest of its residents that it’s never too late to chase your passion.
