At the end of last summer, we told you about this amazing scene of a Ferrari Enzo simply abandoned in a parking lot in Dubai. The car will finally find a new owner.

A supercar whose value is currently estimated at more or less one million euros eroded by the elements, it is the amazing scene that we showed you last year. A red Ferrari Enzo covered with sand, abandoned by her owner waiting to be sold. Our colleagues at GT Spirit explained in Dubai, the fact of getting a large debt after bankruptcy is when an entrepreneur can be severely punished by law. Over there, so it sometimes happen that businessmen weighed down with debt flee the country to avoid being confronted with justice, leaving all their possessions behind. This Ferrari Enzo would have borne the brunt of a boss English businessman on the run, she was later recovered by police. 20 months later, she will finally find a new owner after an auction held this week in Dubai, with 129 other vehicles also looking for a new hand. Given the high side of the Ferrari Enzo now there may be ways to make a deal. Be careful however not to go into debt on the spot!

Four places were known at Ferrari, but four-wheel drive is new. To ease use in quiet evil, the FF has (almost) all of Pullman for a small family. Even if the 660 hp V12 expects an order to trigger the thrill

In a ski resort, the last car that we expect to see is a Ferrari … Yet it is on top of a snowy track in the Dolomites (Italy) Ferrari Four that welcomes us to give us his number. Equipped with proper winter tires, the Italian twirls with the ease of a Jean-Baptiste Grange slalom world champion 2011. Forget the 4.91 m long, 1,880 kg and announced the 683 Nm of torque available, I handle this impressive Ferrari one hand, elbow on the door once the manettino (the cursor on the steering wheel) in Position Snow (Snow).Magic of sophisticated electronics and transmission innovative four-wheel drive, this GT is easier and safer to carry almost anything with wheels on the snow! The aids are so effective that Ferrari seem almost boring, making me put on the manettino Sport. This time, the frank accelerations lead to gradual drift of the rear axle, Children’s control, and very rewarding for the ego of “driver-driver.

After the prancing horse in the firm has benefited from the Bologna Motor Show to unveil the first global public 458 Challenge , now here is the new 458 GTC called to take the helm of the 430 GT in the ALMS (GTC or 360). Needless to say that the new GT 100% endurance based, like the other, on the 458 Italia …

The last nugget out of Maranello just completed two days of testing on the circuit of Fiorano.

For this shakedown, the 458 GTC was entrusted to the care of Brazilian Jaime Melo (Rizi Competizione team) present in the American Le Mans Series.

If all the details have not yet been disclosed, officials were quick to speak like the head of the department Ferrari Corse Clienti. ” We are pleased with initial feedback from engineers and driver. The development of the car is still in initial phase. Fortunately thanks to better weather than we expected, this third day could accumulate more data than the first two days of testing in the rain and snow “, Antonello Coletta advance.

The development of the Ferrari 458 GTC will continue in the coming weeks and continues until the 12 Hours of Sebring marks the beginning of the new season in the American Le Mans Series. To follow all the details (it evokes such a rate of 480 000 euros).

In an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica, Aldo Costa, the technical director of Scuderia Ferrari, has recognized the responsibility of the team in defeat of Fernando Alonso in the championship. “We have made assessments impulsive and erroneous” he found about the failed strategy of the Spaniard.

“We were wrong. We have not gone to the track but do our best to obtain an intermediate result, sufficient. And when it’s like that, nothing is enough, a Petrov, a car security, and everything collapses. Never again “ regretted Aldo Costa before confessing to still have nightmares about the failure:“Can Fernando passes the finish line. We all remain motionless. For 5 to 10 minutes, we set the monitor. Nobody moves. Person removes his helmet.Nobody speaks. Nobody wants to face reality. “

Tested by this error, Aldo Costa was then outlined the steps that Ferrariwould take in the future to minimize the risk of encountering this kind of disappointment: “The responsibility can weigh on the shoulders of one.We will create a group home connected by radio. Far from the race, there is less pressure and more lucid. “

Not necessarily the classic endurance by the media, and yet very demanding, the race of the 24 Hours of Daytona is played in January, and is traditionally the start of racing season for many drivers (even if the 24 Hours of Dubai trying to take this role for several seasons).
The event will be held in January 2011, therefore, and competitors are already known. Among them, a team, Aten Motorsports (eg Tafel Racing),who wants to lead a crusade under the command of Tony Dowe. The objective: win mark again virgin victories for several seasons: Ferrari.

The man who led the team TWR Jaguar to victory in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1988 and 1990 and also won the categories of success in 1992 and 1993, has made up his mind to triumph again Ferrari at Daytona . It is hoping that the skills of German Dominik Farnbacher, the English driver Rob Bell and Allan Simonsen Danish. Three experts of the Ferrari F430, which have achieved excellent results in the ALMS, Le Mans Series but also the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Farnbacher and Simonsen have played including the last 24 Hours of Le Mans together on the Hankook F430 Team Farnbacher, as in 2009, or Rob Bell also drove a Ferrari. In short, a team of specialists from which to attack the Grand-AM GT. But why such a crusade? The Ferrari 430 GT has never won Rolex Series, not even a single championship race! The last victory in the Rolex Series won by the Prancing Horse brand dates back to 2002 when a Ferrari 360 GT won five races in the championship . Strange for a car, the F430, will retire, having won successes in all the major endurance races in the world.

Ferrari does have a nice history at Daytona. Pedro Rodriguez has won an event three hours at Daytona in 1963 and teamed with Phil Hill to win a 2000 mile enduro next year. Ferrari’s first victory in the 24 hours back to 1967 with Chris Amon and Lorenzo Bandini while legends like Mario Andretti and Jacky Ickx won a six-hour race in 1972 there.

The last date it overall victory of 1998, with Mauro Baldi, Arie Luyendyk, Gianpiero Moretti and Didier Theys aboard a 333 SP. Then in 2011, again a Ferrari on the top step of the podium?

Jules Bianchi, 21, will become official Ferrari test driver next season. His work will begin next Tuesday, the day after the final round of 2010 World Championship.

The young French driver had already performed several tests driving the F60 on the Spanish circuit of Jerez almost a year ago following his season in the F3 Euro Series. Jules Bianchi is also passed through the training center for Ferrari drivers.

Meanwhile, Nicolas Todt’s protege and ART in GP2 driver will fight for the podium on Sunday in this league, antechamber of the Formula 1.

The Ferrari 208 GTB Turbo, appeared in 1982, is a variation of the supercharged Ferrari 208 GTB, presented in 1980, which is the entry level berlinetta at Ferrari.

History

Developing original 155 hp (170 hp and the GT 208 / 4) in atmospheric V8, the 208 GTB comes from 1982, a supercharged version with 219 hp turbo, called 208 GTB Turbo. Incidentally the engine loses its 4 carburetors in favor of a mechanical injection.

The performances are therefore a leap forward with the adoption of mechanical fuel injection and the onset of a turbocharger, key to overeating. So it’s a true evolution as Ferrari brings to this Berlinetta, considered underperforming at the time. Become affordable to purchase, the 208 GTB has lost none of its beauty, which was designed by Pininfarina, the renowned Italian coachbuilder. It remains a powerful engine driving spicy. However, like all sports of the 1980s, the 208 GTB Turbo Clean and requires expensive.

It will be replaced by the Ferrari duo of models GTB Turbo GTS Turbo, which repeat his mechanics in the upgraded chassis and body of the Ferrari 328.

Luxury Car: Ferrari F458 Italia

We are sad to see the Ferrari F430 disappear, but at least its replacement by the Ferrari 458 is far from disappointing.

Chosen to make his debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Italia Ferrari 458 Sport has a new direct injection.

Powered by a new direct injection V8 engine of 4499 cc, the Ferrari 458 have 570hp and 540 Nm of torque.

When combined with seven-speed transmission of Ferrari and a dual clutch, the Ferrari F458 accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in under 3.4 seconds before reaching a top speed exceeding 325 km / h .

The Ferrari F458 Italia will not be officially unveiled before the motor show in Frankfurt.

Small sequence tuning based on Ferrari California today and it will not issue or Novitec Edo but a version and a version Ultimate Audio Anderson Germany. Two different but not unpleasant results that show us how to give a little pep to the small Maranello.

To my right, a California to the American way by Audi and Ultimate version on my left by Anderson Germanic Germany.

Let’s start with the German version that allows us to discover a Ferrari California white which is adorned with a blade carbon fiber spoiler, air intakes, side skirts just as discrete facts in the same subject, we finally remark a small trunk spoiler which ended the Italian car.

The California also benefits from new exhaust, ECU reprogramming and its power to spend 460 to 515 horsepower. The chassis has new spring / damper adjustable perment that lower or raise the upper body of California.

For good measure and to increase the sporting appearance of the Ferrari , Anderson Germany team new alloy wheels in 2 or 3 parts two-tone (black and white) and a diameter of 21 and 22 inch 255/30 ZR 21 pavement 315/25 ZR 22 and.

Inside, Anderson Germany distills the usual ingredients to customize own car and found a black leather upholstery complete with white stitching, inserts, carbon fiber and chrome parts, probably for more chic.

After the release came from Düsseldorf, here is the version coming to Orlando, Florida. We owe it to Ultimate Audio, specialist in Florida on personnalistion and car stereo to the U.S. mode.

Here there is no technical or mechanical changes even if it provides power to ensure the installation of an exhaust line specific. Only the appearance of California has been reviewed by the installation of new suspension lowered to reduce ground clearance of 30 mm and as is the trend, we raise two inch size rims are also here in 21 and 22 inches and pavements in the same dimensions as in Anderson’s colleagues Germany (255/30 R21 and 315/25 R 22). Finally, we note the taillights blackened optional and less successful than those from Novitec Rosso.

So we discover new aluminum rims silver / Glossy Black in two parts that go quite well with the car.

Inside, new upholstery with vanilla piping the same blue as the bodywork. The set is also quite stylish and well in the spirit of cruising so chic Miami or West Coast! Finally, Ultimate Audio has addressed the sound system of Italian to install a set Kenwood art.

To find both preparers and their achievements, there is after.

Two different approaches to the Ferrari California and on this one, a little low for the U.S. version more in the spirit of this car is not really a big sport as can other Italian.
