The streets of Dubai are one of the few places in the world where you have a decent chance of catching a glimpse of a supercar on your way to work, they just usually aren't pink. Behold the unusual. This far too pink Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was filmed cruising on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai . More »

Miles smiles and gets up with it in what we can only assume is a non-silent way. Ferrari 275 GTB? He reportedly kept a .357 in the glovebox. Birth of the cool, indeed. [via Fourtitude] More »

This 1979 Ferrari 308 GTB is for sale on eBay. It's probably in better condition now than when Maranello birthed it. The obsessively maintained car has not only been meticulously maintained, it's been updated to provide better performance and reliability. More »

The folks over at WreckedExotics bring word from Greece of another Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano on the scrap heap. The owner, hailing from Athens, put a little too much pep into his early morning drive and overcooked a curve. The silver lining here is what one could do with that intact powertrain: Ferrari-powered sand rail? One hell of a shifter kart? More »

We all know the car, the polished-to-perfection Saudi Arabian Audi A8 you get in your email every four to six months, usually from the uncle who doesn't understand the internet telling you those durn furiners got too much money. Well, that car has now been tossed into the waste bin of internet history. We have a new champion of bling, a fully polished Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. While not doused in platinum (as the email always claims), this over-the-top wonder takes advantage of the 599GTB's aluminum body and simply classes up the joint, with thousands of hours of polishing and buffing.

We've never heard of the Scandinavian speed shop Makela Auto Tuning, but we want to be their best friends. These guys are rally and exotic car aficionados of high order, and loving documentarians of their craft. As such there are over 200 images on their site of the transformation of a run of the mill Ferrari 308 GTB into a rip-snorting FIA Group IV spec rally machine. Our only question is why this package wasn't on the options list for the 308? [MAT Project Page] (Thanks Ed) More »

Wandering around Geneva, a couple of things become readily apparent. First and foremost, this is a rich-ass city. Banks and ultra high end luxury stores are as common as faux hawks, and the Audi RS4 is a commoners' car. Another thing you notice quite quickly is how a city situated between two mountain ranges at the bottom of a giant lake gets kinda windy. I'm not going to step on Chicago's toes, but there may be a lost ear on the Rue De Mont Blanc Bridge. The brutal cold wasn't enough to keep us from finding this Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano parked street side. More »

Dutch custom car maker Vandenbrink, which specializes in cars we'll never be able to afford, has released the first image of its GT Convertible. Based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, this stallion for the well-heeled is going to feature a custom lightweight carbon fibre folding hardtop to keep things inside the cabin when cruising turns into shredding. Other than that we're a bit short on details, though it's rumored the engine will come out of the Edo Competition 599, which could mean power in the 650 to 750 hp range. More »

From the mind of Davey G... First of all, yes, Herr Johnson and I actually have conversations about things like this. A lot. Constantly, actually. So you can think of this as settling a bet for us. Also, some of you may recall the last time we put the 308 up to a vote it handily beat out the Lamborghini Jalpa by a 20% margin. But that was then. This time the budget Ferrari is facing the heavyweight opponent of the French automotive scene, L'Goddess. So, which will it be? Mid-engine or hydro-pneumatic? Single spoke steering wheel or pop up lights? A Malaise Era Ferrari, or the pride of the French nation? And if you want to prevent Questions of the Day like this in the future, email tips@jalopnik.com with the subject "QOTD" and your suggestion. More »

What color was Enzo's white horse? It was the same color as this here 599 GTB tuned by Germany's Edo Competition. The company's released new information on the prancing tuner, including a top ECU tweak to 750 horsepower. Purists may balk, but Edo knows what he's doing. In a sense. [World Car Fans] More »

World Car Fans cracked open the Ferrari message boards and came up with a teaser shot of Edo Competition's coming Ferrari 599GTB tuner. Not so much rossa as really freaking blanca, this tweaked out horse will likely be revealed in Frankfurt next month. Until then, we can go back through Edo's prior versions of Italian iron and wonder what might be lurking under the hood. [World Car Fans] More »

We know, we know. The real duelists in the 1980s were the Countach and the Testarosa. We know. However, this is the Lost Jalpa Weekend, so we gotta go trolling through the second tier of 25-year-old Italian metal. You know, the mid-engined variety with traverse mounted V8s. And look what we done found! In the red corner, we have the Ferrari designed after the oil crisis, originally selling in Italy with 2.0-liter V8s, the car that smells like Magnum PI's mustache, the Ferrari 308 GTB! And in the (usually) white (though sometimes yellow and/or green) corner, currently valued between $18,300 and $32, 900, the "Baby-Lambo," the Lamborghini Jalpa! Here's some pluses and negatives to help you in your voting. More »

Looks like Schumacher's not spending too much time away from cars now that he's retired from the sport of racing. According to the UK auto mag, Autocar, the German racer with the penchant for Italian race cars since '96 is helping Ferrari with testing its newest whip. It appears as though the recently retired racer was taking laps on the Nordschleife, giving the 599 GTB test car some track time on the Nurburgring. It's a new move for Ferrari, and certainly a new move for Schumi, but we're wondering how cool it'd be to see the race-macher taking the "Schumacher turn" in person. – Ray Wert More »

It's almost time for some of the world's motoring journalists to take a heavily managed but nonetheless challenging run up the Panamerican Highway, in something Ferrari likes to call the Panamerican 20,000. In two days, journos — "representing the most important publications from all over the world" (says you Ferrari!) — will embark in two Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano models from somewhere the southern hemisphere (Brazil, actually) on an 84-day, tag-team journey that will take them through the Andes mountains, the Dari n Gap (pack your M16s and bug spray, guys) and the messy track through Central America. Then, it's over the border and across the US to Nueva York — 16 countries in all. Oh wait — check out the map after the jump. Looks like the Dari n Gap — a bit of trail between Colombia and Panama that only a CIA wet team could love — is off the agenda. Pussies! More »
