Ferrari California To Race In Gran Turismo 5
August 16th, 2008
Ferrari has been releasing a few details over the past few weeks concerning their new California model on their website. A great way to release this information is through electronic media - which helps them to improve their PR and keep us enthusiasts up to date.
Their newest episode shows that Ferrari has teamed up with the wiz-kids at Polyphony Digital who are the brains behind the Gran Turismo franchise. They offer up an adrenaline-pumping virtual reality video of the California racing through the virtual streets of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue in the same style as the game’s intro.

August 14th, 2008
Many of us would never even consider purchasing a car that has been crashed one time or another. However, when it comes to this Ferrari Enzo that was once owned by Eddie Griffin we are able to make an exception.
Eddie Griffin (the actor and comedian) crashed his Ferrari Enzo into a concrete barrier during the promotion for the new movie ‘Redline’. Many believed that the Ferrari would never be used again - but thanks to Matt Groner it has been resurrected.

Ferrari California Spotted In The Streets Of San Francisco
August 12th, 2008
The Ferrari California has been spotted by spies a month before it is set to be revealed at the Paris Motor Show. It was seen roaming the streets of San Francisco, California where it is sure to fit in nicely.
The car was actually there at the time for a photo shoot - but many are wondering if Ferrari might have secret plans to pull the curtains off it sooner then expected. The fact that it is so close to Monterey and the events being held makes us hopeful. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.
Fioravanti Ferrari F430 Seen Testing At Fiorano
August 6th, 2008
A restyled Fioravanti Coachbuilt Ferrari F430 was spotted this weekend at Fiorano. It was spotted without any camouflage and is most likely one of the few that was personally customized to someone who was willing to pay out the nose for it.
The body looks to have been completely re-done. It’s hard to tell exactly what mechanical modifications, if any, are on this special Ferrari. The wheels appear to be identical to those on the 430 Scuderia, so the engine may be the Scuderia’s up-powered 510 HP V8. Whoever commissioned this creation was probably more interested in turning heads than turning laps.
