Could this be the most beautiful Ferrari in years? The Ferrari Roma has been revealed today in Italy, and - like the city it's named after - it's a mesmerizing combination of the familiar and new. Of course, Italy's capital doesn't have a turbocharged V8 engine to play with.
Ferrari has pulled the wraps off its new hybrid hypercar, and this time the car is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. It's called the SF90 Stradale, and it has 1000cv, about 985 hp and a power to weight ratio of 1.57 kg/cv. The car has aero that generates 390 kg of downforce at 250 km/h.
The only places you could traditionally get a screaming Ferrari engine was to buy a Ferrari or a Maserati. During the recent Ferrari Q1 earnings call the most significant revelation from the event was that Ferrari plans to stop supplying Maserati with engines. The Ferrari engine is a major selling point for the Maserati brand.
Ferrari makes some incredible cars and as fast and exclusive as a normal Ferrari is, for some very wealthy buyers off the rack is never good enough. For these buyers, Ferrari will build one of a kind creations. The latest one-off from Ferrari is the P80/C, and it is hailed as the most extreme one of a kind Ferrari ever built.
Ferrari announced the replacement for the 488 GTB called the F8 Tributo last month. The car is a tribute to the V8 and boasts the most powerful V8 in Ferrari history to be placed into a non-special series car. That turbo V8 engine boasts 720cv giving the car a specific power output of 185 cv/l.
Ferrari has shared images of a car that will make its world debut next month in Geneva. The car is called the Ferrari F8 Tributo and Ferrari says the car is an homage to the most powerful V8 in Ferrari history. The automaker does get a bit more specific in saying that it's the most powerful V8 in a non-special series car.
Owning a Ferrari is something that many aspire to, and few ever get to own. For the well-heeled out there Ferrari has created some limited edition models that offer more performance than the garden variety Ferrari can muster. One of those was the F12tdf that was limited edition with only 799 of them made. Ferrari has taken that F12tdf and used the chassis and running gear to make a one-off roadster for a collector.
The cost of major replacement parts for high-performance cars can be staggering. Such is the case with the Ford GT, and if an owner was to destroy a gearbox outside of warranty, they better have deep pockets to replace the transmission. Reports indicate that the gearbox for the Ford GT costs $27,624 plus a $5,000 core charge. That brings the total price to $32,324 for the GT transmission part number HG7Z-7000-A.
Ferrari may be shocking purists with its talk of an SUV, but the Italian automaker isn't forgetting about super-seductive sports cars either, as the new Monza duo demonstrates. Unveiled as part of the company's Capital Market's Day at its Maranello factory today, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 are the vanguard of a new series, dubbed "Icona."
Ferrari's first SUV has been named, with the Purosangue set to go on sale before the end of 2022. The much-rumored model will be "a four-door utility vehicle" Ferrari CEO Louis Camilleri told investors, distancing the Purosangue from the rest of the SUV crowd that the Italian automaker has vocally eschewed in recent years.
The world has no shortage of rare and award-winning Ferraris, but none look so dramatic as the spaceship-on-wheels Ferrari 512S Modulo. Created back in 1970 by famed design studio Pininfarina, the memorable one-off wouldn't look out of place on the set of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Actually getting it into the running state it finds itself today, though, might have been tougher even than making Kubrick's classic.
A new world record for the most expensive car ever sold at auction has been set. That record was set at an RM Sotheby's auction that was held over the weekend. The gavel fell on the rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO at $44 million and once the buyer's premium is added the full price of the purchase totaled $48,405,000.
