488 GT3 May Be The Best Ferrari Race Car

If you know Ferrari, you know that their history revolves around race cars. From the Le Mans series, to the extreme FXX K, each of Ferrari's track-ready cars are close to perfection. Their latest race model, the 488 GT3 is a perfect example of what the Italian automaker can accomplish on the track, and it may just be my favorite race car on the track.Powering the car is a powerful twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8 engine that is capable of around 550 hp. Now, if you're familiar with Ferrari's engines, you know that the fact that the 488 is turbocharged is a pretty big deal. Not only do the turbos break tradition (not including the F40), they add power and allow cars like the 488 GT3 to make some of the most lovely turbo noises.YouTuber 19Bozzy92 was recently at the Monza Circuit, filming two 488 GT3s as they quickly made their way through the corners. If the turbo flutter this race car makes doesn't give you even the slightest bit of chills, then you may need to turn your speakers up some more.Ferraris For Sale

Today We Celebrate Enzo Ferrari's Birthday

Back on February 18 1898, a man was born on the outskirts of Modena in Italy. Little did his parents know that he would go on to change automotive history forever.Enzo Anselmo Ferrari was his name.When he was ten-years-old, Enzo and his brother Alfredo took his father to watch a motor race at the circuit on Via Emilia in Bologna, according to Ferrari's website on their founder. This event would spark his passion for cars.Unfortunately for Enzo, 1916 came along. This is the year when both his father and brother passed away. He then had to give up his studies and work for a living. Then, even worse news came along when World War I commenced. Enzo would go on to serve in the military until he was honorably discharged due to an illness that required he undergo surgery.However, things began to look up after that point. Sure, getting turned down by Fiat was a setback, but he eventually started his career as a test-driver and transitioned to a competitive racer. He would then go on to compete in numerous races, winning along the way.In 1929, magic happened when he founded Scuderia Ferrari. His idea behind the company was to "allow owner-drivers to race," says Ferrari's website. Scuderia would soon take over Alfa Romeo's racing department in 1933.Because of his prior agreements, he was not allowed to use the Ferrari name when he left Alfa Romeo. This sparked his passion to beat Alfa Romeo in one of his very own cars.Maranello became the home of Ferrari in 1943. Although it was out of his hands, the factory was bombed twice but was quickly built up again in 1945. This is also the year when he began designing the very first Ferrari. The Ferrari 125 S was then debuted on March 12, 1947 and it would become the very first vehicle Ferrari would ever make.Enzo Ferrari would go on to run the Italian automaker-- giving only 50% of his stake in the company to Fiat Group in 1969-- until his death in on August 14, 1988. He was 90-years-old.While the F40 was the last car created under his management, Enzo's passion is etched in every Ferrari built today. Whether it be the new LaFerrari or the Enzo, each Ferrari speaks to the love he had for the auto that all began when he saw that motor race at such a young age.Without Enzo Ferrari, the automotive industry would not be what it is now, and we would like to take this time to celebrate his life.Ferraris For Sale

Ferrari GTC4Lusso: The New Italian Four-Seater

A new Italian four-seater has just been unveiled and it's the new Ferrari GTC4Lusso, a car that the automaker is hailing as "a major evolution of the sporting Grand Tourer concept." How is this new model such an evolution? With the addition of rear-wheel steering combined with four-wheel drive.If the GTC4Lusso looks familiar, it's because it replaces the FF, Ferrari's previous four-seater model. What also may be familiar is its name, which Ferrari says "references its illustrious predecessors," including the 330 GTC, 330 GT and 250 GT.And, like the GTC4Lusso's predecessors, it comes with a V12 engine. This time, however, its power is rated at a worthy 680 hp at 8,000 rpm and 514 lb-ft of torque at 5,750 rpm, with 80% of its power at just 1,750 rpm., making for a 0-62 mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph. It's not too often that you can reach those types of speeds in a four-seater weighing in dry at 3,946 lbs. These figures have also increased over the previous FF model (650 hp and 504 lb-ft).Ferrari GTC4Lusso Specs Engine: 6.3-liter V12 Horsepower: 680 hp Torque: 514 lb-ft 0-62 mph: 3.4 seconds Top Speed: 208 mph Dry Weight: 3,946 Helping the wheels stay connected to the ground below is Ferrari's patented 4RM Evo four-wheel drive system, which now has rear-wheel steering for the first time. Ferrari also updated their Slip Slide Control (version 4.0) with an electronic differential (E-Diff) and SCN0E dampers. If you thought the FF could handle snowy and wet roads well, wait until you get behind the wheel of the GTC4Lusso.The GTC4Lusso's interior houses an array of standard Ferrari luxuries, like fine leather, a 10.25-inch HD touchscreen and what the automaker calls a Dual Cockpit architecture.Ferrari will be releasing more information on the GTC4Lusso as we get closer to the car's official world premiere at the 2016 Geneva International Motor Show, starting March 3.Ferraris For Sale

$1.6 Million Offered for Impounded Ferrari Enzo, Can't Ac...

Imagine having $1.6 million to throw down on a Ferrari Enzo-- which happens to just be sitting on an impound lot, collecting dust-- and being told no. This scenario isn't just hypothetical. It actually happened to one bidder looking to secure the famed car from a Dubai impound lot.Dubai is known for its high number of exotics, many of which somehow end up in similar predicaments. The impound lots usually auction off the cars, but this particular supercar is the subject of an ongoing Interpol investigation. Colonel Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Director of Traffic Department at Dubai Police told 7DAYS, a Dubai-based news station, Source: Luxury4Play.com“The car remains in limbo as there is a legal dispute about it. Recently an American man, who is interested in buying rare cars, offered us Dhs6 million for it, but we can’t do anything with it for the moment.”Luckily, the lot will remove the car from the blistering, Dubai sun and store it in a warehouse instead. Hopefully, someone will sort this all out so this beauty can get back on the road!Ferrari Enzo For Sale

Ferrari California T Video

Ferrari's California T Showcased in "Deserto Rosso"

The Middle East has created much buzz for Ferrari as many of the Prancing Horse's cars have been selling in the area. Their latest video showcases the beautiful Liwa Oasis (and the Ferrari California T), an area amidst the vast deserts of the Middle East-- likely an intentional display of gratitude for the area's dedication to the brand. In the video called "Deserto Rosso", which is Italian for Red Desert, Ferrari's California T is depicted in the brand's signature red color, flanked by an additional California T in a more modest midnight blue finish. The two elegant vehicles glide through the Run' al Khali, also known as the "Empty Quarter" as the day fades into night. The California T shifted from a natural aspiration to turbocharging just a couple of years ago, and the newly released Handling Speciale Package is now available. We look forward to the official showcasing at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Check out "Deserto Rosso" by clicking play below. Ferrari California T For Sale

2016 Ferrari FXX K: Price, Specs, Review and Photos

2016 Ferrari FXX K Specs Price: $2.7 million (est) Engine: 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 Horsepower: 1035 hp 0–62: TBD Top Speed: TBD Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch automatic Torque: 664 lb-ft ReviewFerrari closed out 2014 with a bang, introducing us to the successor to the Italian powerhouse’s famed FXX model: the Ferrari FXX K. Unveiled in December 2014, the FXX K is an “uncompromised” rendition of the hybrid LaFerrari, with the name’s ‘K’ derived from the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) the car employs.While the LaFerrari and the new FXX K utilize the same system, speed is the major factor separating the two. The FXX K produces 1,035 horsepower and more than 664 pound-feet of torque, an 85 horsepower increase over the LaFerrari. This is no doubt due to the new features, including updated camshafts, a modified valve train, redesigned intake mani-folds and a modified exhaust system sans silencers for an aggressive audible growl. ...the FXX K is an “uncompromised” rendition of the hybrid LaFerrari, with the name’s ‘K’ derived from the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) the car employs There are several other noticeable modifications to the FXX K, the most apparent being the twin-profile rear spoiler. Collectively with the mobile spoiler and new front splitter, these additions generate a 50 percent improvement in downforce in low drag configuration and an additional 30 percent increase in the more aggressive downforce configuration.Ferrari has also added four settings the driver can choose from to better control the car’s performance and KERS. Each setting creates a different result; the Qualify setting allows for maximum performance with limited driving time, the Long Run setting creates a more consistent performance output, the Manual Boost setting instantly boosts torque delivery and the Fast Charge setting recharges the car’s battery in a flash.Ferraris For Sale Buy Your Issue Now

1956 Ferrari 290 MM Sells For $28 Million

RM Sotheby's New York City auction, called "Driven by Disruption," was an absolute blockbuster of an event. Earlier we covered Janis Joplin's Porsche, which sold for $1.76 million. Now, I get to inform you of the auction's star of the night: a 1956 Ferrari 290 MM, built for Formula One driver Juan Manuel Fangio.After a spirited auction, the hammer down with a final bid of $28 million. According to RM Sotheby's Facebook post regarding this lot, the crowd reacted to the final bid with applause. What's more, the pre-auction estimate for the car was $28 million - spot on. Needless to say, their experts at RM Sotheby's know how to value their lots.This exact 290 MM was chassis #0626 and was one of four examples ever built. It was purchased by Temple Buell in New York in the spring of 1957. Buell then sold the car in 1958, and it continued to be raced up until 1964. After being owned by world-renowned Ferrari collector Pierre Bardinon for 34 years, it was then passed to a new owner, who had the car regularly maintained for 12 years.Now, the famed 290 MM is in the hands of a new owner and we wish them a fruitful ownership.Gallery (Source: RM Sotheby's)
