Ferrari 360 Modena Spider Based on the Toyota MR2

"Finally, the style of Italy meets the dependability of Japan," reads the seller's description of this Ferrari 360 Modena Spider replica that is built on a Toyota MR2 donor car from the year 2000, and which we found up for grabs on eBay. As is common in these type of builds, the replication of the Ferrari model is restricted to the exterior body panels with the interior left mostly intact (sans the Ferrari-badged seat covers).
The Italianized Toyota has allegedly covered 109,000 miles (about 175,000 kilometers) and according to the AutoCheck history report, it was involved in an accident back in 2007, hence the salvage title.
The cloned Ferrari MR2 is located in Norristown, Pennsylvania, and is listed on eBay with a 'Buy it Now' price of $20,000.

Ferrari SP12 Based on the 458 Italia

For the past 24 hours, the web has been abuzz with a one-off Ferrari model that reportedly made its debut last night in an enclosed glass structure at H.R. Owen, a London based dealer of high-end cars. We don't have anything official on the right-hand drive Ferrari model. However, we see that it wears a license plate that reads SP12 (possibly for Special Program and V12) and that it is based on the 458 Italia with the coachbuilt body resembling the classic 12-cylinder Ferrari 512i BB from the late 1970s, early 1980s.
There are a lot of rumors circulating on the internet, including that the stock V8 was replaced with a V12 engine and that it was custom ordered by English singer and songwriter, Eric (Patrick) Clapton (hence the EPC in the license plate number), but we're not going to jump into conclusions before we hear something official.

McLaren’s Boss Says Team “Must Win Races from the Start” in 2012

McLaren is second only to Ferrari in Formula 1 World Championships, having won 12 constructors’ titles, three less than the Scuderia. Yet the 2011 season has not lived up to the team’s expectations despite winning six races, because the combination of Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull was clearly superior. Speaking at the opening of McLaren’s new Production Center, the F1 team's principal, Martin Whitmarsh, admitted that they underperformed this year.
“By the high standards of McLaren, this has not been a vintage year," said Whitmarsh. "We’re very proud of the performance in Abu Dhabi, which brings us to six victories, and obviously we’d like it to make it seven before the end of this year. We’ve secured second place in the constructor’s championship, but clearly we want to win more races than this.”
Whitmarsh blames the slow start of the team, which gave Vettel and Red Bull an early advantage that proved valuable in winning both the 2011 drivers’ and constructors’ championships.
Therefore, in 2012 McLaren has to be competitive right from the start: “We’ve got two great drivers and a fantastic team of men and women here. So we’re optimistic about next year”, said Whitmarsh. “But we’ve got to get out of the blocks quickly and effectively next year to make sure that we are winning races straightaway.”

The Fast Cars Of Ferrari Picture

Ferrari F430

Ferrari is a manufacturer of racing cars and sports car performance, high-founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929. At first, Scuderia Ferrari sponsored drivers and racing cars produced, this company and also develop independent car production in 1946, and later became Ferrari SpA, and is now controlled by the Fiat group. The company is based in Maranello, near Modena, Italy. Ferrari also took part in Formula One competition. One of the famous drivers are seven times world champion Michael Schumacher.(wikipedia)

Ferrari is a car with super high speed with a sporty design. Although classified as a luxury car at a great price, but from the quality of ferrari is an art that can not be compared with money. Ferrari has issued many such models is the  Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F50, Ferrari F430, Ferrari California, etc.

Ferrari California

Ferrari Cars are a luxury.
The California is full of firsts: it's the first-ever front-mounted V-8-engined Ferrari, it's the first use of direct injection in a Ferrari, and it's Ferrari's first dual-clutch automated manual transmission. It's Also the first Ferrari built on a modular architecture, and the first built on a new production line That is downright spooky in its Modernity. I was Able to tour the facility last month, and the California's production line is spotlessly clean, eerily quiet, and freakishly automated. On the one hand, computerized, precise mass production makes the California seem somehow less special, on the other, it ensures the highest level of quality. I think it's a worthwhile tradeoff, ESPECIALLY for a Ferrari that's inherently less special than Some Others.

Screeeetch - less special? I mean no insult by the California that '. It's the least expensive offering in Ferrari's stable, but that's only part of the reason why. The other reason is That I equate "special" with "insane." I, a certified automotive nutcase, adore the F430 for its Insanity. I love the way it crackles and barks and screams. I love how it scares small children and grown men alike with its acoustic assault; how it accelerates and shifts with Standard and Poor violence That it renders its hysterical passengers. I love how its occupants are assaulted with the feel of Every Pebble on the road after luring Them ins with the sight and scent of the world's finest materials.

Ferrari car design

Some, however, Might find the F430 a bit much. For These people, Ferrari makes the California. The California is a softer, milder, less insane Ferrari. Ergo, it's less special to people like me crazy, but it's no less special in the real world. A grand tourer in the traditional sense of the word, Ferrari's hard-top convertible is smooth and Luxurious. Its sound level and ride are sedate by Ferrari standards, and its cabin elegance and Luxurious.

From the driver's seat, the experience is typical of today's Ferraris, Which means a big red start button, a Mannetino controller on the steering wheel, and a paddle-shifted transmission. Upon first driving off, you notice That the suspension is Supple, the gearchanges are smooth, and, like all modern Ferraris, the steering is Cadillac-overboosted and lacking in feel.

I drove the California in traffic for Almost a Hundred Miles Finally before I flung it into a corner-and Quickly Became aware that, like the 599 GTB and the 612 Scaglietti, it has two very distinct Personalities. The California turns ins with amazing immediacy-likely a result of having most of its weight Between the axles. To That end, the V-8 is completely mounted aft of the front axle and the dual-clutch transmission is a transaxle mounted in the rear. Not much feedback comes through the steering wheel, and the brakes are wooden Somewhat, but this is a car That knows how to dance. Chassis balance is spot-on perfect, serving up high-speed drifts That Are Easily controlled with the throttle.

The dual-clutch transmission shifts with no interruption in power, it's nothing like the old F1's brutal, neck-snapping full-throttle shifts. But I actually prefer the single-clutch transmission, at Least Until Ferrari's software engineers get around to a Version 2.0. Even though the dual-clutch box Mostly provides seamless shifts, making for more comfortable driving, it's not quite as well as the old programmed F1 box, and A Few glitches are apparent.

Spesif ction Ferrari 599 GTO

Ferrari 599 GTO claimed as the fastest road car in the world today. 599 GTO even able to record a lap time Fiorano circuit in 1 minute 24 detik.Supercar V12 engine was developed specifically to achieve extreme performance.

This claim is unusual because 599XX based GTO 599, referring to the race car technology. Even so, with a capacity of 599 GTO 6.0-liter engine remained legal as raya.Dengan street car weighs only 1.495kg, the powerful 599 GTO 670 hp, just keep the ratio of weight versus strength 2.23 kg / hp. What do these figures mean? The answer, an acceleration of 0-100 km / h in just 3.35 seconds. While speed can penetrate 335 km / hr.

599 GTO would not only excels in performance. Dikebangkan chassis specifically-including electronic controls, has resulted in great control. Ferrari even dare to claim the 599 GTO chassis technology as the first developed for a production car (outside of racing).
