The first option is a safe bet, but has limitations on what you can buy (more on that later), while the second option, while a quicker option, is likely to be filled with just as much as buying any other car.

Ferrari could resurrect F40 as a new Icona supercar
A modernized version of the iconic F40 will reportedly join the Ferrari Icona range of exclusive ultra-limited production models There are rumors that Ferrari may be about to revive the F40. If true, it will be produced as part of the Icona series in limited quantities. Lamborghini launches the Countach model in Sián in 2021. It sounds a little crazy, but Ferrari may be about to follow Lamborghini's lead and resurrect arguably its most iconic model: the F40. If these rumors are true, we could soon see what the F40 would look like if Ferrari produced it in 2024 or 2025. Has hell officially frozen over? Not so long ago, this kind of revisionist history would have been blasphemous. In fact, Lamborghini's CEO at the time even stated that the brand would never put the critically acclaimed 2006 Miura concept into production because it was built purely to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original. However, the brand launched an…
Millions of supercars are piled up, including Ferrari LaFerrari,
A group of supercars crashed while driving on a winding mountain road. The total value of the four vehicles involved is millions of dollars. The cause of the costly accident is unknown. Details and facts on this are sparse, but we hope none of us will experience a day as disastrous as these drivers. The four of them managed to crash cars worth a combined millions of dollars. The cheapest vehicle in this rather unique bumper car game was estimated to be worth around $300,000 before it crashed, although the chances of it surviving unscathed are slim. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); What we see in the photo is rough.

autoX Awards 2024: Ferrari Roma performance, quality and
2024 autoX Awards: The Roma Spider isn't exactly what you'd consider a "performance car of the year." Yes, it has a prancing horse on the hood, but it's more of an elegant cruiser than an out-and-out sports car. Plus, it wasn't that long ago that convertibles were the domain of poseurs, not serious drivers. But, in Rome, Ferrari turned all that around. Yes, it's elegant, and it's very handsome - although I'm not so sure about that perforated front grille - but it's a very serious driver's car. After all, its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine produces more than 600 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. This makes this car a very lively convertible! It immediately feels like it was built for the track. The revs rise with unparalleled ferocity and a soundtrack to match. The gearshift light on top of the steering wheel - in pure Ferrari style - is very useful on the track, as this V8 pulls to redline very…

F1: Lewis Hamilton may test Ferrari F1-75 early
Ferrari is expected to give Lewis Hamilton his first test drive in the 2022 Ferrari F1-75 at the Fiorano test track next to its Maranello factory. Lewis Hamilton has exercised a release clause in his contract to prepare for the transition from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 F1 season. The seven-time world champion will make a change after 12 seasons with Mercedes. According to reports, while there are rumors that Ferrari could make his debut during the postseason Abu Dhabi test, Hamilton's contractual obligations with Mercedes include plans to represent title sponsor Petronas on December 10. Petronas has ruled out this option. Hamilton's first official drive in a Ferrari F1 car is currently scheduled to take place in January at the Ferrari Fiorano test track under Formula 1 testing rules, with the Brit likely to get behind the wheel of the 2022 Ferrari F1-75.

Want a Ferrari 458 cover? Alibaba has one for $28,000
A seller on Alibaba is selling a Ferrari 458 body shell for $27,700 (including shipping). It includes bumpers, fenders, doors and glass, but no drivetrain or chassis elements. This isn't the only rare body available on the Chinese platform. People have been building kit cars that mimic supercars. Most often, they are relatively cheap reproductions rather than convincing reproductions. They didn't have a proper chassis, a proper engine, or even a real body. Now, an Alibaba seller is empowering at least one person to fix that last problem. They are selling the entire body shell of a Ferrari 458. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); The listing is provided by Yongping Yongqiang Auto Parts Department (yes, that’s the full name) in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, and the description is interesting, to say the least.

Ferrari Roma Coupe is dead, incoming successor
Ferrari recently ended production in Rome, and its successor has just been spotted in Italy November 13, 2024 17:40 Ferrari has quietly phased out the Roma, which bodes well for the arrival of a new model in the near future. Work is already underway on the successor, with our spies capturing a prototype testing in Italy. The mysterious model is essentially a facelifted Roma, but seems destined to bear a new name. The Ferrari Roma feels like a relatively new addition to the lineup, but believe it or not, it's been a full five years since its launch. This helps explain why a prototype of its successor was recently spotted on the streets of Maranello. Dressed in black camouflage, the mysterious model appears to be an evolution of its predecessor. That's not surprising, as the car is actually a heavily facelifted Roma, but will likely sport a new or revised name in typical Ferrari fashion. More: Ferrari Roma Spider combines…

Ferrari ICE electric car charger attaches plug to wheel and becomes
A Ferrari owner thought it would be fun to park his supercar in a spot reserved for electric cars. The driver places the charging plug on the wheel and pretends the car is charging. ICEing is the selfish act of illegally parking vehicles that block electric vehicle chargers. Pickup truck owners may be cornering the market on electric car drivers by hogging charging spots, but they are far from the only perpetrators when it comes to “ICEing,” the extremely inconsiderate practice of hogging charging stations by internal combustion engine vehicles. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); A case in point was recently in Athens, Greece, where a Ferrari F430 was found shamelessly parked next to an electric car charger, despite there being plenty of vacant regular parking spaces just steps away. But the Ferrari owner isn't content with just blocking access to the…

Ferrari has warned that loose propshaft screws could reduce traction, increasing the risk of a crash. When you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new supercar, you expect it to be absolutely perfect, without even the tiniest flaw. However, no car is immune to the occasional misstep, and Ferrari has just recalled several vehicles with driveshaft issues. In July, Ferrari received a report in Europe about loud driveshaft noise in the 296 GTS. It analyzed the supercar and determined that the problem was caused by the driveshaft screws not being tight enough. Ferrari then began an internal investigation of its production assembly lines to…

Jay Leno drives Jeep/Ferrari hybrid
there was a time When a "hybrid" was a European car with an American V8 engine under the hood. Examples include the Ford-powered De Tomaso Pantera and the Jensen Interceptor equipped with Chrysler firepower. The "Jerrari," which recently arrived at "Jay Leno's Garage," is the exact opposite of that idea: It's an American car with a European engine, but it's not just any car. This unusual machine was equipped with Ferrari's V12 engine. Phil McDougall, director of the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada, explains the origins of this strange phenomenon. Hotel and casino magnate Bill Harah wanted a quick way to transport entertainers between his Lake Tahoe and Reno hotels. He commissioned the Jerrari, a combination of a Jeep Wagoneer and a Ferrari V12. In fact, he commissioned two. McDougall showed Leno the second one: a 1977 Jeep Wagoneer with the Ferrari 365's 4.4-liter V12 engine under the hood. Mounting the engine up front required a 2.5-inch nose extension,…

Want a Ferrari F80? Reseller sells build slot for $6.3
The F80's hybrid twin-turbocharged V6 engine has a total output of 1,184 horsepower and is limited to 799 units go through Brad Anderson October 28, 2024 09:10 Is anyone willing to pay the $2.3 million premium to get an F80 allotment? The F80's predecessor - the iconic LaFerrari - is extremely rare, limited to just 399 units. Sales of all 799 units of the Ferrari F80 hybrid supercar appear to be no problem, with recent confirmation that the entire production process has been considered ahead of its public debut. Not all buyers are private enthusiasts, however, as a dealer in Germany has just listed a build location, and it's priced significantly higher than the car's MSRP. In the U.S., the F80 starts at an eye-watering $3.9 million, though we suspect that once customers start personalizing their cars and ordering expensive options, the vast majority of models will cost much more than that. The German dealer is trying to sell the…
