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.

Jerrari, When A Ferrari And A Jeep Make A Baby

When Enzo Ferrari turned down Bill Harrah's request for a 4x4 Ferrari, Harrah did what any wealthy car collector would, thumbed his nose at Maranello and built his own. Taking a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer and mating it with a Ferrari 365 GT, the Jerrari was born. While its original 4.4L V12 is long gone in favor of a far more reliable 350 V8, the weirdly attractive bodywork and handsome interior are still all there. Not only is it in impeccable shape, it's up for auction on eBay.

Ferrari GT Spied Again, Still Teasing Us In Camo

With just under 8 days until the official reveal of the new Ferrari GT, our anticipation keeps rising as the countdown clock keeps ticking. These new shots show off the camouflaged rear end of the upcoming stallion, an angle we haven't seen much of. Interesting to note are the vertically stacked tailpipes, something not seen on any other current Ferrari model. Technical details are still unconfirmed, but whatever kind of engine is in there, it sure sounds pretty dang good. More »

When Ferrari-Smashing Parking Attendants Attack

Continuing our Monday morning Ferrari smash-up meme, check out this Ferrari 575M spotted in L.A. looking like it was taken for a Ferris Bueller-style valet joyride. Unlike the mileage run-up in the movie, this 575M seems to have come back in a noticeably more Cameron Frye-like state of wellness. We'd hoped that Audi A8 from Brooklyn was a mere isolated instance of parking valet hoonage, but perhaps this incident demonstrates it can happen no matter the 'merican coast. Oh, and by the way, although we've got absolutely no proof parking attendants were the cause of this catastrophic waste of good Italian metal, we've also got absolutely no proof they weren't the cause. Take that, journalistic standards! [Hat tip to Anthony!]

Ferrari-Branded Motorola V9 Coming

Motorola isn't one to shy away from shilling for Ferrari and this latest cellphone-sports car mash-up is further proof. Motorola has taken its previously boring RAZR 2 V9 cellphone and slapped Ferrari branding on it therefore increasing the sexiness level 10-fold. Normally in our Auto Branding Adventures, we're not one to easily give in to these types of products, but the Ferrari'd version of the V9 is mighty pretty. The checkered metallic patterns and red-everything is a tad drool-worthy for the gadget-fiends out there.

First Official Sound Clips Of The Ferrari GT

We just told you about the new sound clips released of the soon coming Ferrari GT, but since some of you may be using some sort of strange internet browser that inhibits you from listening at Ferrari GT Countdown, we figured you'd like it if we provided you with the teaser clips here. Like we said, it's gonna be a baby Ferrari love-fest as that countdown clock keeps ticking closer to zero. More »

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]

Eurospares Sells Wrecked Supercars, Oh The Humanity

The idea of dropping a mint condition 6.2 L Lamborghini V12 into a mid-engine Vegamino is pure sex, but in order to get there, a supercar must die. How are you going find such a donor? Well, Eurospares seem to be just the place to find those tasty morsels of fine Italian delights. Absolutely wonderful for modern car pickers, but it's damn horrifying to see a burned out 1967 Ferrari 365 GT or the shell of a Maserati 3500. Clicking through the inventory is an exercise in exclaimation: Nooooo! Awesome!

Ferrari 308 GTB Rally Car Built By MAT

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)

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)

Aussie Son Crashes Daddy's Ferrari 360CS

It's happened time and time again, and it will continue to happen until the end of days. A jumpy teenager has a crazy idea, perhaps induced by peer-pressure, to sneak the old man's car out for a late night joyride. As Jalops, we've likely all put ourselves in such a situation. In retrospect, we're able to look back at it as a right of passage into manhoonhood, but for this Aussie boy, it may be a while before he will fully appreciate the accomplishment of crashing his dad's Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, though never being able to see daylight may accelerate that process.

Gaggle of Supercars Set Loose On I-75 In Florida

What good is having a supercar if you can't stretch its legs out once in a while? Well, if you have a big enough group with a pile of cash, you can. A group of high performance car owners hired the Florida police to block off a section of I-75 and escort them on a high speed club run near Naples. We can't speak to the veracity of the claim, but our forum poster claims the cops let 'em get up to about 120 MPH at times. Even though that barely scratches the surface of what these cars can do, it would still be a hoot to be in a giant group flying down the highway like that. Oh to be one of the idle rich.

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]

The Newish Nose On The Ferrari F1 Car Got Rhinoplasty

We hear the "breathing hole" on the nose of the new Ferrari F1 car will, in addition to providing a more efficient Ferrari front wing with less drag for increased top speed, also help with those annoying bouts of severe sleep apnea. Also, all the other kids at school would still be laughing at Ferrari's little bubbaleh if they hadn't gotten it done for her. And for those of you who can't-a speak-a the Italian-a, we've got a helpful translation of the gist of the animation above after the jump thanks to the F1 fan-boys over at Axis Of Oversteer More »

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.

Ferrari-Driving French Techno Zombies Are The Right Way To Start The Day

How to explain the video above? There's no point in making a techno-electronica album in the spirit of Giorgio Moroder without some sort of insane concept. Enter Kavinksy's 1986, an album kinda sorta about a guy who was bumped off in some sort of crash that involves some kind of crime. He dies unceremoniously but is somehow revived to drive his Ferrari Testarossa, which also revives itself. Zombie Ferrari. Zombie driver. He must get his revenge against... well... hard to say. The concept is a bit vague and the music is perhaps too derivative but a zombie Testarossa, what more could you want as a Monday morning pick-me-up? [YouTube]

CNN Revisits Italian Fauxrrari Forgeries

Proving once again the speed with which stories are cycled through in a 24-hour-news-cycle network, CNN has decided to run coverage on the gang of Italian Ferrari forgers we brought you back in February. The in-depth coverage includes pointing to, and comparing pictures of, a real Ferrari 328 GTS against the real fake example. Italian-accented experts remark on how good the outside is, then point out how poorly-executed the interior and engine are. Honestly, as far as Fierarris go, this one isn't too bad, and the dimmer among us would probably fall for the fakery unless giving it a more than a passing glance. [CNN]
