Apparently that was enough of a target for this 430's driver after tangling with a Nissan Sentra, of all things. Must have been delivering express mail. More »

The coach builders at Fioravanti have been caught testing a restyled Ferrari F430 this weekend at Fiorano.That would explain the lack of any camouflage, as the creation is likely a one-off built for rich customer as part of Ferrari's recently publicized effort to offer "whatever the hell you want" bespoke cars to those willing to shell out the necessary cash. The body looks to have been completely re-done, but are any power upgrades lurking under that retro-cool skin? More »
