Portofino Feature

By Andrew Nabors –  August 23, 2017

Say Hello to the Ferrari Portofino, Goodbye California T

Maranello has built something new, and it's heading for the Frankfurt Auto Show. The new Ferrari Portofino was released, and it looks spectacular. It seems like only yesterday that the California was unveiled, but it was a decade ago. Named for a fishing village on the Italian Riviera, it as far from California as you would imagine. That is because everything is new from the ground up. Chassis design and high strength composites have come a long way in the past years, so it has allowed the Portofino to be lighter and stronger than its predecessor. Building a convertible that doesn't get floppy when cornering also helps to provide grip for impressive launches. Ferrari says the new car can leap to 62 mph (100kph) in only 3.5 seconds. It might be the world's fastest 4 seat hardtop convertible thanks to 600 cv, or metric horsepower. Italians seem to love this standard for some reason, but the difference is minuscule. The 3.8 liter V8 delivers 591 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. As with most flat-plane V8 engines, max horsepower is at a screaming 7,500 rpm, while torque is a broad plateau from 3,000 to 5,250 rpm. Taking a page from the 488 series, boost from the turbos is computer controlled. It allows for instant throttle response along with better fuel mileage, which is music to our ears. Attention to detail is also evident in the interior. A new 10.2" touchscreen is competitive with other luxury models, and new 18-way seats offer more comfort up front along with more leg room for back seaters. The A/C and climate control is more powerful, to provide cooling with the top down. Attention to detail is also evident in the interior.

The body has influences from the F12 series, and new LED headlights are combined with air vents that feed into the front wheel wells. This takes high-pressure air off of the nose and uses it to clean up turbulence under the body.  The days of Pininfarina styling are over, and the Portofino is a modern look from their own internal designers. If you have been dreaming of a fastback hardtop convertible, your wait is over. The Portofino has erupted with the ferocity of Mount Vesuvius, with an impact that will be felt for years to come. Our dealers will need to clear out the Californias to make room, so check out the great deals in the link below and stay with us for all your Ferrari news. Ferrari California T For Sale

15-Year-Old Wraps Ferrari in Supreme and Louis Vuitton

When Louis Vuitton and Supreme teamed up, the fashion world took notice of the collaboration. But it doesn't seem like anyone took notice like a 15-year-old on Dubai, who has his own YouTube channel called 'Money Kicks'.John Cena Shows Off One of Ferrari's Last Manual CarsAfter getting a new Ferrari F12berlinetta, he had a company wrap it in a special Louis Vuitton x Supreme design. Of course, he has the matching bags to go along with his newly wrapped to finish the automotive outfit.The F12berlinetta, when released, was the most powerful and aerodynamic Ferrari that the automaker had ever created. It has since been succeeded by the new 812 Superfast, another intense V12 supercar that has exceeded all of our expectations.Ferrari F12berlinetta Engine: 6.3-liter V12 Horsepower: 730 hp Torque: 509 lb-ft Transmission: 7-speed automated manual Top Speed: 227 mph 0-62 mph: 3.1 seconds

Ferrari F40 LM's Brutal Launches Are Pure Joy

For some reason, most likely due to my love for the car, I had a dream about owning a Ferrari F40 last night (I'm not bamboozling you all). In the dream, the F40 I owned wasn't the greatest looking one, in fact it was pretty torn up. But it didn't matter, because I owned what I think is the coolest Ferrari ever made.Ferrari F40 GT Drifting Around FarmLo-and-behold, I wake up this morning to drive what isn't my Ferrari F40, but at least NM2255 posted a video to help me cope. The star of the video is an extreme F40 LM letting loose at Goodwood. In the video's description, it notes that the "sound it makes is music to the ears!" I couldn't agree more.Now, if only I had the money, I'd pick up one of the many Ferrari F40s we have for sale.

Ferrari F40 Celebrates 30th Birthday

On July 21, 1987 at the Civic Centre in Maranello, Ferrari unveiled what would become one of their most iconic cars: the F40. Today, we celebrate the car's 30th birthday and recognize it as an automotive masterpiece.Ferrari first created the supercar to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary and it was the final car to carry Enzo Ferrari's true "signature." The F40 was truly an instant icon. Sylvester Stallone and a Ferrari F40 (1990)Powering the car is a larger version of the 288 GTO's twin-turbo 2855 cc V8 engine, which had a displacement of 2936 cc. The amount of force this engine could lay down through the five-speed manual transmission was rated 471 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque. Compare this to the 1988 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary's 455 hp and 369 lb-ft, and you'll see that Ferrari's F40 definitely had an edge. Also, the Porsche 959 started production in 1986, and it was capable 444 hp and 369 lb-ft. Ultimately, the F40 was the king of the late 1980's.

F355 Feature

1999 Ferrari F355 For Sale

Doing your research should be a critical part of any purchase, especially when it involves a pre-owned car. We've seen the best and worst scenarios involving oversights or undisclosed information by a previous owner. Failure to adhere to the manufacturer's service schedule can transform your car into a time bomb, which is why all service information needs to be evaluated before the money changes hands. In the case of used exotics, some services are more expensive than a nice daily driver. Such is the case with Italians from the 90's. We're most certainly not singling them out because most 90's cars were designed without regard to maintenance.For cars like the Ferrari F355 and its contemporaries, the costs for seemingly routine repairs have led to a negative perception by those who aren't worthy of such a masterpiece. The team at JR Garage bought an abused example to shed light on the costs of neglect.Here is what happens when you don't research the car's history. After the purchase they found a few items that needed to be addressed:Oil Change $275 Engine out service-alternator replacement $11,755 Engine out service -valve guide leak $10,337 Flywheel resurfaced, gaskets and F1 sensors $6747 Clutch inspection, adjustment, change the fluid $1543 Replace sticky interior buttons $2500 4 new style OEM Style Replacement tires -Pirelli $1,600 Complete brake job $3,000  So after owning the car for 1,000 miles, the cost of keeping it roadworthy was: $37,735. That is $735 more than I paid for a new 2002 Camaro SS...If you wonder how this nightmare could have been avoided, there is light at the end of the tunnel. It comes in the form of Ferrari's service department. JR's F355 with the Formula1 transmission is worth more in parts, but for every poorly maintained car there are a few with unblemished records. Located in Torrance, Ferrari of South Bay has been a mainstay in the duPont REGISTRY for years. That is because they are the premier sales and service center in southern California. Their pre-owned inventory is worthy of your consideration; because if you don't want to make the mistake seen in the video above make sure your F355 is like this one.A silver F355 GTS with the F1 transmission is a great way to become a Ferrari owner. The GTS was based on the coupe, but it was reinforced to in order to accommodate a Targa top. The roof can be stowed behind the seats, combining the best features of the coupe and convertible. The single-clutch automatic F1 transmission was only offered on 529 examples of the GTS, making it somewhat rare. Horror stories about the early F1 gearboxes have been squelched by modern improvements to the clutch and software. The major service item on them are the timing belts. It is a time-consuming procedure that requires the engine to be dropped. But this car had it performed n late 2015 at 18,800 miles. The clutch is the other expense, but it shows 89% left as of 19,890 miles.Stored inside since new, the black leather interior is not cracked or faded. With only 19,928 miles, this car is a time capsule back to MP3s and Y2K.1999 Ferrari F355 F1 For Sale

Miami Vice 1986 Ferrari Testarossa For Sale

If you can feel it coming in the air tonight, dust off your Phil Collins cassette tapes because your favorite Ferrari is up for sale. Adams Classic & Collector Cars is offering the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa driven by Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas. For the first two seasons, Crocket and Tubbs' primary ride was a black Daytona Spyder. The Spyder bodies were as close to real Ferraris as Universal could afford, but in reality, they were heavily modified C3 Corvettes. When Enzo Ferrari heard of the forgery, he threatened the producers with a lawsuit. To settle the dispute, two black Testarossas were provided at the beginning of the third season. Since the show was mostly filmed at night, the cars were painted white to offer more contrast on 1980s televisions. Miami Vice changed the way cars were filmed. Mounting huge cameras in unlikely places to get the perfect shot raised the bar for every action series to date.The identical cars led different lives. For all the high-speed action and iconic chase scenes, the first car was driven hard. But this one (Chassis 63631) was the star of the show. Used in close-up shots and less demanding roles, it was preserved in near-perfect condition from 1990 to when it was discovered in 2015. Ferrari Classiche and Ferrari North America authenticated it, and those documents are included with the car. Because it was used for many still scenes, only 16,174 miles are on the odometer. Also included are the original tools, receipts, and service records. All mechanicals were inspected in a recent engine-out, so it's ready for a cruise of South Beach. The original title showing Universal Studios is included, along with 2 keys and books. Please take care of this classic, if not Edward James Olmos might pay you a visit. All offers will be kept confidential, so contact Adams Classic & Collectible Cars in the link below.View Listing

Top 10 Options for the New Ferrari GTC4Lusso

In the old days, you went to the dealer and gave them a deposit. You then had an opportunity to order a car exactly as you want it. Somewhere along the way, the major automakers conspired to eliminate almost all customizations in order to cut manufacturing costs. But Ferrari rejects the building of boring identical boxes. If you can stand to wait in line, your Ferrari will arrive with every conceivable item tailor-made for you. Not only does it allow the car to be an expression of your personal tastes, it also shows what the artisans are capable of when not rushed down an assembly line. Maranello has teased us with the new GTC4Lusso for almost a year, and now it has arrived. Since its predecessor, the FF, had an almost unlimited array of options, we decided to use the new configurator to see how wild it will be. Here are our top 10 options to consider.10. Full-Size Spare TireIf you happen to be the only Ferrari on the block with All Wheel Drive, you might be tempted to take a road trip or hit the dusty trails. If you venture away from civilization, a can of tire sealant isn't reassuring. And since a full-size spare is so uncommon these days, the rarity alone is worth the price. 9. Yellow TachometerBy contrasting the bright yellow against a Bordeaux leather interior, it will be easier to keep an eye on RPM during spirited driving. The passenger tach display is also mandatory for proper drifting. Nothing is better than looking out of the windows in a four wheel drift! 8. InfotainmentIf the sound of V12 power through the sports exhaust isn't enough, you need world-class audio. The details of the "HiFi" system are undisclosed so far, but the optional iPad connector and 128GB storage are necessities these days. 7. Daytona SeatsThe base model buckets are ventilated, but they are severely lacking in the style department. As a native Floridian, nothing can be wrong with a Daytona option. Several choices exist for contrast leather and stitching so the possibilities are bewildering. 6. Door PanelsIn an area that can be easily abused, leather takes more abuse and is easier to clean than metal or wood. The carbon fiber sill plate are also less prone to scratches from heels or loafers 5. Center ConsoleBourdeaux Alcantara and leather to match the seats and dash. 4. Interior LeatherThe interior is comprised of hand-sewn hides in almost any color imaginable. We could have gone with a two-tone motif, but Bourdeaux upper and lower with silver stitching won the majority vote. Three type of stitching range from standard, colored and special, but we chose a basic silver to give more definition to the leather's curves and match the brushed aluminum of the dash & shift plate. 3. Body ComponentsThe exterior options have several mutually exclusive options in that black exhaust tips are not available with sports exhaust, and the grille can have bright edges or dark. If the mufflers are any different we would choose more performance, and the black grille is more sinister. It's hard to believe a panoramic roof is an option, but it seems like a no-brainer to us. Scuderia shields and the Italian flag should also be standard equipment for the true Ferrari Fan. 2. WheelsThe base model cast wheels are nice to look at, but the 20" forged examples are lighter and stronger. Instead of being poured into a mold, forged wheels are cut from a block of alloy in a giant machine tool. Less weight makes for a comfortable ride and nimble handling. 1. ColorNo other feature on any car is as prominent as the body color. We know that Ferrari will color match to your heart's content, but nothing spurs the senses better than a dark red. They offer paint in 4 palettes. Ranging from Solid, Metallic, Historical and Special, you won't find orange peel or fish eyes on these works of art.  In summary, our perfect GTC4Lusso would be as follows:Obviously, the prices of each option are not listed. This is because a majority of the number crunching is done by the salesperson and the dealer. So if you feel inspired to price one for yourself, our dealers stand ready to help you.

First LaFerrari Aperta in USA Revs Like a Monster

Ferrari unveiled the new LaFerrari Aperta just a few months ago back in September 2016, but it's now starting to make its way to the United States. In fact, the first example in the States was filmed in Redmond, Washington at an event call Exotics@RTC. In this video, we get to hear the Aperta truly come to life with some revs. There's also a blue LaFerrari that appears at the end of the video that's a real treat to see. Heck, that color may be my favorite finish on the hypercar that I've seen thus far.What you're hearing in this video is the LaFerrari Aperta's V12 engine and its 963 horsepower. This engine can rocket the Italian hypercar from 0-60 mph in less than three seconds and can get to 124 mph from a standstill in 7.1 seconds. This car is without a doubt the most extreme convertible that Ferrari has ever created.Ferrari For Sale Miami, FL

Ferrari 488 Challenge

By Andrew Nabors –  April 20, 2017

Ferrari 458 Challenge: Not Civilized

If you thought the 599xx was amazing, the Ferrari 458 Challenge introduces a number of important modifications to adapt it for competition use. The direct injection 4497 cc V-8 remains strictly in production tune, with an output of 570 hp at 9,000 rpm. That said, modifications have been made to the gear ratios and calibration of its dual-clutch F1 gearbox to guarantee higher torque at lower revs. The 458 Challenge is also equipped with the E-Diff electronic differential already employed on the road-going version, a first for Ferrari’s track-only cars. As with previous challenge cars, weight reduction is the cornerstone. Following in the footsteps of the F430 Challenge cars, the 458 Challenges are not street legal, but it's only illegal if they catch you.Related - Why is the Ferrari FF so Fantastic? We thought the perfect race car was the 360 Challenge Stradale, but Ferrari never stops improving the performance of their track cars. Body panels are much thinner, with carbon fiber playing an even more critical role. Lexan trumps glass at all corners for a safer & lighter experience. The 458 Challenge also has a specific suspension set-up with solid aluminum bushings, stiffer springs, single-rate dampers, center-lock 19-inch forged wheels, larger Pirelli slicks and it has been lowered by 30mm all around. For breathtaking stops, giant Brembo carbon brakes (which debuted on the 599XX), are integrated with a dual mode ABS system.Justin Beiber's Widebody 458 Another first for a Ferrari Challenge model is the adoption of the F1-Trac traction control system, the most sophisticated of its kind. Developed in-house by Ferrari, the F1-Trac system constantly monitors levels of grip for maximum high-performance road-holding. Two specific track-biased calibrations—wet and dry—have been developed for this application, with control logic and strategies derived from Ferrari’s extensive racing experience in the F1 and GT championships. The F1-Trac is completely integrated with the E-Diff to guarantee maximum acceleration out of corners. With the new 458 Challenge, Ferrari is offering its sportier clients: professional and gentlemen drivers alike a car that is extremely responsive with great performance and superb handling. This mid-rear V-8-engined Berlinetta will allow Ferrari Challenge participants to on the world’s leading circuits, as well as the passion that has always been an integral part of Ferrari’s one-make championship.
