Over the last 28 years, the Italian Car Day at Brooklands (run by Ginger Beer Promotions) has become established as the UK’s premier event for owners and admirers of Italian cars. The great thing about the Italian Car Day is that you never know exactly what you will see, but it is always spectacular – […]
Some cars are special, and some are Speciale! Sorry for the awful pun, but the Ferrari 458 Speciale is something else to behold. Granted, few of us will ever drive such a lairy, ferocious, excellent Italian supercar, but that’s what makes these review videos so great. Watch, drool and wish you had one in your […]
For the third year in a row, the world renowned marque Ferrari has won the prestigious International Engine of the Year Awards, this time with the company’s naturally-aspirated 6262cc V12. This powerplant is responsible for the ferocious acceleration and top speed of the F12berlinetta. Jean Jacques His, head of Ferrari’s powertrain department, attended the award […]
The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the new halo car from the legendary Maranello manufacturer. It looks like a superbly capable GT car rather than an all out sports performance model like the 458 Italia. However, it still has 730bhp and is capable of beyond 200 miles per hour. So yes, we’re pretty jealous of Steve […]
Some cars remain with you long after you’ve seen them. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is one such car. I’ve long been an advocate for the F430. When I first saw this car in the flesh at a motor show I realised I must have a go in one. I haven’t managed it yet, but the […]
The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the fastest Ferrari ever produced by the magical Marinello marque. Equipped with a 6.3-litre V12 producing 730 horsepowers, it is a staggering car. It is a front engine, rear drive GT car that takes over where the 599 left off. The looks are breath taking and a real success for […]
Few cars attract as much excitement as a new Ferrari – the FF is no exception and is perhaps the most radical of recent times. Not only does it sport an extremely complex four wheel drive system, it also offers a shooting brake style that compliments the practical (yes practical) elements of this car. This […]
It did not go unnoticed by this author or indeed the blog that one of the greatest car designers of all time, Sergio Pininfarina, passed away on 2nd July 2012 at the age of 85. Sergio was the son of the design house founder Batista Farina. Pininfarina has been responsible for some of the most […]
A world record gathering of Ferraris is the latest special birthday celebration announced for this summer’s Silverstone Classic powered by the AA (20-22 July 2012). This year marks the 25th anniversary of the remarkable Ferrari F40, the incredible supercar rated by many ‘cognoscenti’ as the finest showroom model to have been created by the revered […]
Italian supercars are normally considered de rigeur – they are the ultimate personification if you like of road going performance cars. They are noisy, fast and aggressively sleek. The Ferrari 458 Spider is surely no exception. The standard Italia is incredibly impressive and universally adored. The Spider looks to repeat that feat but offers even […]
