If you caught yesterday’s Truth vs. Fiends, you may recall our dear Loverman openly pondering as to whether or not Detroit will still be standing come January. It looks like yet another major automaker has jumped ship on next year’s auto show. Mitsubishi just announced that it has no plans to install a booth at [...]
Here’s the skinny on the Ferrari FXX. The company only produced 30 of these lightning-fast, Enzo-based track cars, with the last one going to Michael Schumacher. Powered by a 6.3-liter version of the V12 found in the Enzo, now putting out around 800 horsepower, the car is all muscle, no fat. It weighs just 2,500 [...]
Gotta love the Ferrari booth — you cross the threshold and it’s like wandering backwards into adolescence. I mean, Ferraris and hot chicks! DUDE! This could be your bedroom. If you shut your eyes you can almost see Kathy Ireland mounted (ha!) next to a Countach Testarossa poster. And if you’re in your 20s now you [...]
RaceChairs, a company in the Philadelphia area, is building office furniture that positively twists my brain. With office furniture normally being as exciting as chalkboard erasers, this is quite the coup in and of itself. What these folks have done, you see, is affix the seats out of exotic cars to high quality bases so [...]
No word on exactly where this slick cutaway of the 2010 NSX came from, but AutoExpress is touting it as the real deal. You can plainly see the sexy V10 up front, supposedly laying 560 horsepower on all four corners. For those of you keeping track, that’s more than the Gallardo LP560-4. Honda is hoping [...]
What if an Enzo mated with Felipe Massa’s F1 car to create a slightly disfigured but incredibly athletic offspring? Independent Iranian designer Siamak Ruhi Dehkordi set out to answer that exact question with his Zobin design study. Penned after the lust-worthy F1 cars of the Italian firm, the car is a single seater with its [...]
Maybe. According to EVO Magazine, Maserati is contemplating bringing the track terror GranTurismo MC Course to the street. With GranTurismo sales taking off, the company is considering a road-going version of the MC Course to serve as a top-of-the-line model. Maserati is projecting the car should serve as proper competition for the likes of the [...]
How’d you like to find one of these under the tree this year? Ferrari just pulled the sheets off its Scuderia Spider 16M. The company released the car in celebration of its recent F1 constructor’s title win—its 16th so far. While the Spider isn’t quite as quick as Massa’s ride, Ferrari boasts the car is [...]
Yesterday over at The Truth About Cars, I posted a Ferrari Daytona (Euro Spec) that’s for sale in the U.S. for a cool $359,000. One of the commenters said “what are you, nuts?” Yes. Coincidentally, Octane Magazine delves into the Daytona in the current issue, and gets into the nitty gritty of why it’s still [...]
Someone took the phrase “white trash Ferrari” a little too far. You’re looking at way, way too much work to turn a 1978 Ford Mustang into a Ferrari 308 Replica. The owner claims the donor was a ’79, but that rear sail glass doesn’t look anything like the bits out of the fox body. Our [...]
