2009 Ferrari California, Revealed!

Ferrari welcomed us all a little bit early to the Hotel California, and yes, it's a lovely place. In fact, check out the lovely face on the new 2009 Ferrari California just to see if we're wrong. Despite being told we'd need to wait at least another week before shots would officially go live, the prancing stallions at Ferrari have revealed three press photos of the new Ferrari that's been alternately called the "Ferrari GT," "Ferrari California GT," "Ferrari Dino" and "Ferrari Little Tiny One" in the spy photos. OK, maybe not that last one. But the rest of them are accurate. Whatever we used to call it in the spy photos, it's now set to take on a bit of West Coast flair. We'll be pleased as punch to see it in person in Paris later this year. For now, check out the photos below and press release after the jump.

Ferrari GT Coming in 10 Days, 23 hours

The buzz machine for the pending Ferrari F149 just got a lot louder. A teaser website for the pending prancing pony which is apparently now called the Ferrari GT just went up and it's not only touting the time line for our first look, but also gives a specific countdown —10 days, 23 hours as of this printing 20 minutes — AND engine noises (swoon), AND a look at what we're assuming is the door handle. Hold onto you butts folks cause it's probably going to be a Ferrari GT love-fest for the next 10 days. [FerrariGT Countdown]

Ferrari F149 Dino California GT Thingamacar Caught Without Crazy Rear Camo

Despite the deadline for the really real pictures of the new Ferrari F149 (or Dino, or California GT) being supposedly only days away now, new shots have surfaced showing the true shape of the car. Now we're getting somewhere, we can see the tail end drops off with a very Berlinetta-like gusto and the overall shape reminds of the Maranello, though much smaller. The camo also suggests a fairly large radiator intake and two smaller intakes for something down low below the headlights. Very interesting Ferrari, this small GT thing you're working on has got potential. (h/t to Ard-Jan)

Baby Ferrari F149 Dino California GT Or Whatever Caught In Action At Fiorano

You've already heard about the upcoming baby Ferrari. A lot. Though we're not sure if it'll be called Dino, F149, California GT, or something else. What we do know is that we're told we can expect it to expose itself in about two weeks. And now, we may also know what it looks and sounds like in motion around Ferrari's Fiorano test track. Is that a V8 we hear screaming through the tailpipes?[YouTube via autoblog.nl]

Ferrari F149 Makes Photographic Debut... in Two Weeks?

The rumor mill has been churning at full froth lately over a possible new model from the shops of Maranello and Modena. One set of reports calls it a Ferrari Dino, another calls it the California GT and as of late, the third option is the Ferrari F149. Whatever it ends up being, Topspeed is reporting images of the new car will hit the web in just two weeks time. This means some outlets must have embargoed pictures — which means we'll probably be showing you shots later today after somebody jumps the gun and spills them all over upon seeing a story up saying the words "Ferrari F149." We all know how itchy those trigger fingers can become. But until then, we'll just have to be content to peek again at the spy photos of the Ferrari F149 / Dino / California Dreaming / Whatever and the knowledge that something is on it's way. We think.

New Ferrari Dino Breadvan Caught Testing

You love it, you hate it. The possibility of a front-engined V8-powered Ferrari "Dino" seems potentially sacrilegious, yet quite titillating. We're not exactly sure what to think about the new baby from Maranello. The idea of a smaller, more attainable Ferrari is fine with us, but we usually associate the "Dino" name with a mid-engined V6 model. Actually nobody is really sure what the car will be called. We don't even know if the car will be built by Ferrari in Maranello, or outsourced to Maserati in Modena. It's speculated the sales goal will be 4000 units of the new car. Either way, if it keeps the current breadvan profile of this current test mule caught by the advice giving Aussies at CarAdvice, we're all for them calling it whatever they want to. Mmm... breadvan.

Possible Ferrari Dino Spied At Track, On Toy Store Shelves

We keep being told there's no plans for a Ferrari Dino in the future and no cars are in the works. Info like that flies in the face of suspiciously Ferrari Dino-shaped cars on dynos and today's fresh Ferrari mule running around a test track. World Car Fans is running a spy photo of what is either a shocking new shooting brake, or a very heavily camouflaged Ferrari. Speculation puts the car as a platform mate of the Maserati GranTourismo on a diet and sporting V8 power. Guess we'll just have to wait for the Paris Motor Show and see what the new car looks like and what it will be called. Or we could head over to Toys R'Us. World Car Fans is also reporting... More »

Mystery Ferrari Mule Spotted In Maranello

OK, we're flummoxed. We've no idea what the heck this Ferrari is that was spotted outside of the R&D center of the prancing horse in Maranello. We're guessing it's a powertrain mule — but of what kind and what purpose, we've not got the foggiest idea. We're wondering if y'all — or perhaps the nice people at FerrariChat might be willing to hazard a guess as to the identity of the mystery mule.

Kennedy's Jensen FF?

Our good buddy Kennedy (see here) just signed a mega-bucks deal with Warner Brothers and took off to England in search of fame, fortune and what have you. Is he buying hot cars with his millions? Probably not, as the American dollar is worth like half a farthing these days. Regardless, if you're going to front as a jet setting, white boy pimp, we can think of few better cars to vamp with than an AWD Interceptor. One of the rides we can think of just happens to be after the jump. More »

Lamborghini's Dino Fighter: The Embolado

Calm down, calm down. It's just a design student's concept. But what a friggin' concept! Looking precisely 317% more like a fighter jet than Lambo's Reventon mega car, the Embolado was penned by the same design student (Luca Serafini) that whipped up one of the niftier not-endorsed-by-FerrariDino concepts. Embolado means, "bull in balls," which apparently has something to do with sticking flaming balls on the end of bulls' horns and letting them run wild in the streets. Sounds insane good to us! Does Lamborghini need a Dino fighter? Ask Ferrari.

The Design Story of Dino: Berlinetta Prototipo Competizione

With all the talk of Ferrari's "new Dino," a moniker attributed to a massive game of telephone among media types, it's a fine time to dig into the original Dino's history. Pretend it's 1967 (baby), and Pininfarina had just unveiled the Ferrari Dino Berlinetta Prototipo Competizione at the Frankfurt motor show. The working prototype and design study was based on the Ferrari Dino 206 S and expressed the penmanship of 23-year-old designer Paolo Martin. That car was antecedent to the production 206GT, the first of Ferrari's sub-V12 cars to be badged Dino in honor of Enzo's late son Alfredo "Alfredino" Ferrari, who died in 1956 of complications from muscular dystrophy. The name continued as a separate Ferrari brand until 1976, when the Dino 308 GT4 was given a Ferrari badge. But the Berlinetta Prototipo Competizione still stands as an iconic late-'60s exotic — gull-wing doors, bubble top and all. [Car Body Design]

Ferrari "Dino" Test Mule, on Video

This "new Dino" business is becoming just a bit tedious, to say the least. It's obvious something's out there, despite denials from Fiat's top count, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo. Word is, the "Dino" will be built mainly on Maserati hardware, and possibly at Maserati's plant. Will it be a Ferrari, a relaunched Dino, or a Maserati? Only the count knows for sure.

Strange Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Spotted Provides Us Opportunity For Endless Speculation

The Italian stallions of Autoblog.it happened to snag some shots of a very odd looking Ferrari 612 Scaglietti near the Maranello Ferrari factory. There's potentially some very weird stuff going on under the hood there if those odd-looking hood bulges are to be believed. Perhaps it's a facelift for the 612 Scag, or it could be it's an test mule for a Dino powerplant, or maybe even the new twin-turbo engine we've heard rumored will be under the hood of the next Enzo. Or maybe it's just an engine upgrade for the big V12. Whatever it is, there be strange things afoot in the stables of the prancing ponies. We'll keep our eyes peeled for any new developments.

Ferrari Dino...Mule or 599?

We just got the following missive and photos from Brenda Priddy, who's claiming this here taped-up Ferrari is none other than the alleged mini-stallion, the Dino. Here's what Brenda's telling us:
"Here is the first proof that Ferrari is working on a new Dino. These exclusive pictures are showing a mule of the new car. Based on a 599 body, it doesn't yet give away so much - but at least a little of what will become the new Dino.

Retroconcept Vinci Sport, A Portuguese Dino

Portugal probably isn't the first country that comes to mind when you think of exotic sports cars. Engineering concern CEIIA and designer Ernestos Frietas are trying to change that. Reminiscent of a Dino 206 GT, the Retroconcept Vinci Sport shares the Dino's diminutive proportions, mid-engine layout and overall profile. Additional references like the hood nostrils, headlights, and air intakes are clearly Dino-inspired but brought up to date with modern materials and forms. The Vinci Sport makes extensive use of carbon fiber in both the chassis and body. [Via Car Body Design]

I Voted No on the 250 GTO



While the Loverman and I agree on a great many things and have quite possibly slept with too many of the same women (all before we knew each other), now and then there is a great schism. DAF vs. FAF, Evo vs. WRX. Killdozer vs. Dave Matthews. Okay, so the last one was a complete and utter lie. But the 250 GTO is one of the only Jalopnik Fantasy Garage cars I've ever voted down. And it sounds like insanity, even to me. More »

Miniature Maserati, Maybe?

The Internets are a flurry! Last month we referred to a potential potential Maserati GranTurismo Spyder with a retractable hardtop. That story was based on speculation from Edmunds. Then came word the same vehicle, sans much of its cladding and caught on a dynometer, was in fact a Ferrari Dino. However, the tulip tiptoeing dudes at Autoblog.nl noticed something pretty important. The heavily camoed mystery ride sports a wheelbase about two feet shorter than the big-daddy GranTurismo. And Ferrari has been in Dino-denying mode for the past half-decade. The Dutch Autobloggers are claiming this mule is an entirely new vehicle, slated to slot into the line up as the entry-level Maserati. If that's the case, we say bring it on. By the way, next week we'll let you know that this car is actually the new Fiat Topolino. [Autoblog.nl]

Ferrari Group Hug: A Non-Dino Dino Takes Shape

[UPDATE: The Dino tribute in question isn't the work of Mr. van den Brink. It's by Ernesto Freitas, he of Luso Motors based in Guimarães, northern Portugal. Dino love knows no international borders. The project is a spin-off of a thread Mr. van den Brink started on Ferrarichat. His real baby is the GTO.] Maybe you've already answered our question of the day. But what's the deal with that Dino in the picture, you ask? Dutch designer Michiel van den Brink, artiste behind the Spyker D12, is on a mission to create the a new Dino a reality, with or without Ferrari's help. His year-long project culminated recently in a model for an updated, mid-engine coupe, whose creation has been the subject of a thread on Ferrarichat since 2006. The model takes cues from Pininfarina's latest Ferrari designes, and even references the mid-'60s Ford Mustang Fastback. The goal is to put the faux Dino into limited production. Though we're not sure how close they are, or what'll happen when Ferrari releases its own update of the V6-powered classic — which we've heard is in the pipeline despite the company's vehement denials. But working on an enthusiast-driven project isn't the worst way to spend 12 months, and could be a model for a Wikisupercar of the future. [via Autoblog.nl]
