Ferrari News
Ferrari was founded in 1928 by Enzo Ferrari and participated in motorsports before building its own vehicles beginning in 1947. Purchased by the Fiat Group in 1969, Ferrari has maintained a presence in motorsports, particularly Formula One, since its founding. At the same time, the Italian automaker has also produced such famous road cars as the Dino, 288 GTO, Testarossa, F40 and Enzo, named after the company's founder.

0Featured: Crushed Ferrari makes for world's most tragic coffee table 1337189340
This post isn't for the weak of stomach or faint of heart. The sad truth of being an automotive enthusiast is that we're all hoarders on some level. We yearn to collect various bits of paraphernalia plucked from our favorite race teams and derelict junkyard hulks. Now Charly Molinelli Design has elevated our pack rat tendencies to high art. Or at least ...

Featured: 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa sells for $6.4M in Monaco 1337104500
Few marques get auto collectors riled up quite like Ferrari, and of classic Ferraris, few are as highly sought-after as the legendary Testa Rossa. We're talking, of course, about the 50s-era roadster (as opposed to the 80s-era cheesegrater supercar), and the originals continue to fetch top dollar (or euro) whenever and wherever their fortunate owners are ...

First Drive: 2013 Ferrari California [w/video] 1337013900
A Rare Mid-life Updo Comes To The Starter Ferrari Every time I travel to Maranello for a test drive, the three hours or so prior to turning the red key are driven in a North American highway-style straight line along Italy's A1 autostrada in my 99-horsepower 2001 Opel Astra station wagon with five-speed manual. It's just about the perfect antithetical ...

Official: Montezemolo confirms new Ferrari Enzo hybrid by year's end 1336773600
Business has been good for Ferrari. Thanks in no small part to expanding its activities in developing markets, the racing team turned automaker raked in 556 million euros in revenues to generate 42.1 million euros in profit in the first quarter of this year alone – an increase of 13.2 and 17.2 per cent, respectively. Those figures are driven by ...

Video: Ferrari corrals the Prancing Horses for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee [w/video] 1336743000
When Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, it will be a cause for celebration for her entire United Kingdom. But the Brits aren't the only ones marking Her Majesty's 60 years on the throne. The celebrations will apparently include delegations from around the world, including one mixed party of prancing horses old and new to represent Italy. ...

Official: Novitec Rosso has its way with the Ferrari 458 Spider 1336741140
With its screaming 4.5-litre V8 and its clever flip-top roof mechanism, we'd venture to say that the Ferrari 458 Spider is pretty damn close to automotive perfection incarnate. But some owners – even Ferrari owners – will never be satisfied with stock. And that's where Novitec Rosso comes in. The Dutch tuning house specializes in Italian ...

Featured: The Automatic transmission: A brief history 1336687200
The manual transmission is not long for this world, much to the consternation of the "driving aficionado." As evidence, consider that the take rate for manual transmissions for all Lamborghini models - among the most extreme super-sports cars on the planet, mind you - is a measly 1 to 2 per cent. For the mathematically challenged, this means that 98 to ...

Official: Ferrari pays tribute to Gilles Villeneuve at Fiorano 1336660200
Some teams might give a promising young driver a second chance, but not Ferrari. You only get one offer to drive for the Scuderia, and if you turn it down, that's your last chance. Legend has it that Ferrari made that offer to Jacques Villeneuve way back in the late 90s after he'd won the Indy 500 and the CART title in the same year, going on to place ...

Video: Ferrari dealership in trouble for burning rubber on the Great Wall of China 1336597200
Ferrari is not an outfit that would miss out on the enormous opportunity presented by the Chinese market. Having won the grand prix there three times out of the first four it was held, the Prancing Horse marque launched a special-edition 599 there in 2009, followed by an even more exclusive porcelain-finish one-off. For 2012, Ferrari created a ...

Study: "Camaros eat Mustangs:" The origins of car names 1336584600
As a car manufacturer, you have spent literally thousands of person-hours engineering a vehicle that is not quite entirely dreamy nor utterly practical, but some magical balance of the two that should sell by the trainload. Small problem: the folks in marketing have decided to name the car the "Acquiesce," so chosen for its inability to offend anybody and ...
