Simulated and amplified engine sounds are all the rage these days, and there are various ways to implement them. Systems that use the speakers to play a noise like those from BMW are often chided for being fake, but those that just pipe in the vibrations to the cabin are somewhat accepted. Ferrari has filed a patent…
The sad truth is that far too many Ferraris are bought for status reasons, as opposed to buying them for the raw, visceral joy they’re capable of providing. That’s why seeing something like this, a Ferrari FF being hooned around a grassy, hilly area, is so wonderful. This is a person enjoying the shit out of their…
The specialty used auto-things market is booming because we live in interesting/revolutionary times. First there was that Porsche 911 RSR manual booklet that sold for $6,000, and now you can bid on a long-forgotten hood piece reportedly off of a 1989 Ferrari F40.
The Ferrari Purosangue, which is an SUV that the late Sergio Marchionne said he’d rather take a bullet over producing, will probably be large, powerful and expensive. And power will go to all four-wheels, which is par for the course for any premium SUV or crossover these days.
Earlier today we told you about Ferrari’s new not-an-SUV Purosangue lineup and the announcement that the company will be bringing 14 new models to market in the coming years. That was when Rod Millington pointed out that “new models” could include something as simple as a badge and color change. Ferrari’s model…
Earlier today, we got a peek at the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 special series cars, but now official details and images have been released, and they look tearfully incredible.
Normal brain: a car with two seats. Expanding brain: three seats, like the McLaren F1. Galaxy brain: only one seat, for you and you alone. That’s the car you really want! And Ferrari is giving it to 100 lucky customers in the form of the Ferrari Monza SP1, and it packs a 789 horsepower V12.
Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen mumbles most of the time, perhaps because he doesn’t care enough about a conversation to do more than that. That’s just a theory. But if you listen closely to those mumbles, you’ll get hit with a low tone of straight sass.
Formula One comes out with a new, overhauled set of rules every few years, like when it went from its beloved V8 engines to hybrid V6 turbos in 2014. The next magic number is the year 2021, when we don’t know what exactly the rules will be, but we do know the cars will maybe, possibly look something like this.
Formula One is definitively at its best when people are trying all sorts of crazy tricks. Ferrari’s latest one—that of covering up its cockpit camera usually used for television broadcasts—is either brilliant or hilariously dumb. Ferrari was ordered to stop it. It didn’t. So it was ordered to stop it again. It didn’t.…
Bring A Trailer, the website set up to help you find listings for no-rust Renault Dauphines with a missing engine, is selling a LaFerrari with 95 miles on it for some reason. I expect the price to land somewhere between “GDP of a small country” and “the moon.”
At 38 and in Formula One since 2001, mumbling Finnish weirdo Kimi Raikkonen is one of the veterans of the sport. But time comes for us all, and Raikkonen hasn’t won a grand prix since 2013, so it’s time for the Ferrari machine to swap him out with a newer, younger model.
Of all the strange and bizarre concept cars to ever exist, the Ferrari 512S Modulo Concept is among the strangest and most bizarre. It looks like a car more suited for space exploration than traversing human roads, but now that it runs and is finally road legal, it can finally fulfill its destiny of baffling people…
In one of the more silly F1 dramas of the past few years, teams had been wondering why Ferrari had been coolings its onboard camera with an ice pack. Now it has become clear that, well, cooling wasn’t what the team was going for.
What car would you buy if you were a rock god? It’s a fun question to ponder, but not one to take too seriously since most of us can’t always get what we want. Someone with about as much (or more) money than a rock god will get to live that dream, however, when they purchase Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards’…
When we last checked in with Caleb Hammond, the 11-year-old boy living in Iowa who is facing his final battle with leukemia, he wanted racing stickers to decorate his casket with. Word spread like wildfire, and soon a Ferrari dealership in Florida took notice. It went a step further and sent an entire race car up to…
Kimi Raikkonen has not won a Grand Prix since the 2013 season-opening Australian round in his Lotus F1 Team E21. Today in Italy, after setting the fastest lap in Formula One history, it looked like he had a real chance to add to his victory total, but all of that was thrown away on a Ferrari tire choice gamble.…
Race fans around the world were jumping to their feet and dropping jaws left and right during the final moments of qualifying for F1's Italian Grand Prix this Saturday morning. Yeah, that’s right: they just watched Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest lap ever in Formula One history.
