The ‘70s were a neat time for cars. Everything was shaped like a door-stopper. Like the Maserati Khamsin. The BMW M1. The Lamborghini Countach. And the Ferrari 512S Modulo concept, which, excitingly, had its first drive ever on public roads today.
Heads up, eighties film fans: the car from one of the most iconic movies of the decade is going up for auction, and you could be the next lucky owner. That’s right. The not-really-a-Ferrari GT California from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off can be your love and your passion, too.
Ferrari came to the 2016 Paris Motor Show with four special cars, each styled in a way reminiscent of famous drivers of its cars. There was the Stirling Moss F12 Berlinetta, the Michael Schumacher 488 GTB, the David Piper 488 Spider and the Steve McQueen California T. But according to a recent lawsuit by McQueen’s…
“HELLO? YES I’M JUST WALKING FROM THE HELICOPTER TO THE FERRARI. YES. YES, I UNDERSTAND. LET ME CALL YOU BACK IN A MINUTE. OK. OK. YES.”
I’ve always had mixed feelings about the Ferrari F50. I feel like it didn’t get the love it deserved because it was overshadowed by the F40 and the Enzo. But also it had a goofy face that I couldn’t quite take seriously. I didn’t have any bedroom posters of it (I was an Enzo fan), but if you did, then here’s your…
Look, we get it. There are Ferrari fans out there. There are Ferrari fans who have a lot of money and like to show it off, in a “please come to my unfathomably large home and see all of my rare collectibles” manner. “Exclusive” is to those people what “free food” is to the rest of us lowly common folk—irresistible.
This Ferrari F12 in Iranian police livery is a conundrum. We’re not 100 percent sure of its origin—if it’s an actual vehicle used by Iranian police or just a policing enthusiast living in the Netherlands or something else entirely—but thankfully, none of that really matters. What does matter is that it’s also got an…
Correction: Friday, July 20, 2018, 11:45 a.m. ET: A previous version of this story incorrectly described the design as a four-cylinder hybrid. The patent could apply to other engines and the four-cylinder drawing was likely for simplicity. It has been corrected below.
I like museums as much as the next guy. Yes, even the ones with paintings of people who are most likely dead now and dinosaur skeletons. It’s a glimpse into artifacts from a bygone era and usually one of the few opportunities to see rare and exciting things. Sometimes they can be quite surprising, and also indicative…
If you’re unwilling to dish out over $170,000 for the 590 horsepower Maserati Levante Trofeo, the new 2019 Maserati Levante GTS could be your 550 hp compromise.
If there’s one thing I learned on my recent trip to Italy, it’s that style matters. Looking good is more important than looking where you’re going. So it’s no wonder the storied art of coachbuilding—creating customized bodies for cars—is still well and truly alive in the nondescript town of Arese, Northern Italy. Here…
Dinos, produced by Ferrari from 1968-1976, were strange birds, having been named for Enzo Ferrari’s son but not carrying a Ferrari badge, since they were considered too cheap and too slow for the Ferrari name. Still, a few thousand were built, with over 150 of those recently gathering in Maranello to celebrate Dino’s…
Recently, Bloomberg estimated that a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO will sell for a vomit-inducing $45 million at auction. This is after another Ferrari 250 GTO sold in a private sale for an even more vomit-inducing $70 million. Pretend those owners will actually drive their cars. Pretend that a small collision happens. What…
As fun as Formula One and Formula E can be, they’re still missing that little something special from the glory days of F1 racing. The ear-numbing scream of the cars, namely. As times are getting stressful, it’s nice to reflect back on the days of screaming V12 racing to let off some steam.
When I visit the car-auction site “Bring A Trailer,” I expect to see automobiles. But I’ll gladly make an exception for this recent Ferrari F40 engine listing, which is filled with mechanically pornographic imagery of the Ferrari F40's amazing 2.9-liter V8. Prepare your souls for an up-close view of greatness.
Late after practice at Formula Drift New Jersey, while Federico Sceriffo’s crew worked to replace a CV joint twisted into pieces by the 900 horsepower Ferrari 599 drift car behind us, I asked Federico why he chose to twin-supercharge the 6.0-liter V12 and not go with more expected twin turbos. “Yes, to keep the…
When you’ve already got a garage stocked with Ferrari’s greatest hits, each time you add something to the collection, it has to be interesting. This particular Dino, now packing more than 400 horsepower from an engine stolen from the famous F40 supercar, would qualify as interesting.
Ferrari lover Scott Chivers jumped at the idea of saving an exceedingly rough but rare Testarossa that had been converted into a roofless Spider, but he didn’t turn it over to a shop for a full restoration. He’s been bringing it back to life in his own garage, leaving the exterior rough to make what might be the only…
News broke today of Maserati’s plan to finally turn the lovely Alfieri concept into an EV, which would also have hybrid or plug-in hybrid variants. Who would provide these powertrains, you ask? Ferrari, that’s who.
Fast And Furious director Justin Lin has directed a pilot for a reboot of Magnum P.I. and the trailer looks, uh, very destructive.
