Watch A Barn Find Full Of Collector-Grade Ferraris And Po...

Talk about the ultimate barn find! For every car enthusiast, there's something undeniably exciting about the prospect of discovering a rare barn find. These hidden treasures, often tucked away and covered in a layer of dust, represent more than just a vehicle – they're a piece of history whose value has been quietly escalating in the eyes of collectors. While they may initially restoration can transform their full potential, cementing their status in the automotive world. Some of the most famous automotive barn finds in history have included the discovery of a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, hidden for decades under piles of magazines in a French barn. Then there's the fascinating tale of the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, found in a British garage gathering dust for almost 50 years, turning it into an overnight eight-figure collector car. The team at Oldtimerfarm BVBA recently documented the discovery of an extremely rare collection of supercars found covered in the second story of a barn. While this fleet is found with minimal dust, the covered lineup of cars includes everything from iconic Italian supercars to collector-grade German sports cars. The stable of Ferrari examples featured a Testrossa, 550 Maranello, 328 GTS, 575 Maranello, F355, and more. The collection of Porshces includes rare models like a 993 911 Turbo S, 964 911 Carrera, 901 911, and even more. Once navigated out into the sunlight for the first time in decades, each is carefully loaded up into a transport truck where they would be restored to showroom condition. As they make their way back onto the automotive scene, be on the lookout for these barn finds on a road or track near you.

Ferrari F12berlinetta vs Tuned Porsche 911 Turbo S

The Italian front mid-engined car known as the Ferrari F12berlinetta has been highly regarded thanks to its massive 6.3-liter V12. And now, Ferrari has one-upped the car by creating the F12tdf, a more powerful and capable variant of the berlinetta.While the Italian automotive manufacturer has been creating the powerful monster that is the F12, Porsche has been plugging away at their most famous car: the 911. While it may be small in stature and not as powerful as the F12berlinetta, it's nimble and quick.(Also Read: Breathtaking Sounds of the Aston Martin Vulcan’s V12 Engine At Full Throttle)Between these two cars, there are a lot of gaps in the comparisons. For instance, the Porsche 911 Turbo S, the most powerful 911, packs 560 hp, while the F12berlinetta is rated at 730 hp. That being said, the 911 Turbo S can run from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and the F12berlinetta runs a 0-62 mph time of 3.1 seconds. The .2 seconds the 911 shaves off is partially in thanks to its all-wheel-drive system, a huge bonus over the Ferrari's rear-wheel-drive.Recently at the Unlim 500+, a more powerful and tuned version of the 911 Turbo S (650 hp) took on a stock F12berlinetta. Because most of were more than likely not at the race, DragtimesInfo recorded it for us all to see and uploaded it to YouTube today.
