Ferrari has been hoping for a long time now that they would be able to make history in the Guinness World Record for the largest parade of Ferrari vehicles. After 385 cars driving two miles with each vehilce being no more then two car lengths apart, Ferrari was able to complete that goal.
The Ferrari 360 Modena F1 is one of the fastest cars you can buy, and with the exception of the Porsche 911 Turbo, it’s the quickest car available with an automatic transmission. This car will blast from a standstill to 60 mph in a tick over 4 seconds and rip through the quarter mile in 12.8 seconds at over 112 mph. There are only a few cars on the market, besides other Ferraris, that accelerate quicker. They are the aforementioned Porsche, the Lamborghini Diablo, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the Lotus Esprit V8 and the Dodge Viper. These are also the only cars that can rival the 360’s 180+ mph top speed.
Ferrari is, above all else, a historical manufacturer of racing cars, but it also produces an incredible stable of street cars. Together, they handcraft limited-edition machines that redefine extreme sports-car possibilities: the ‘84 288 GTO, ‘87 F40, ‘95 F50, and now the ‘03 Enzo. Just 399 of them will be made, one each day. All have been purchased without so much as a test drive by Ferrari’s most preferred customers.
Most people when you ask them if they love their job will automatically say no. So maybe we should refer all those people to Ferrari. Apparently Ferrari is a great place to work and was even voted Best Place To Work in Europe 2007. They have already won the Italian title for this and are happy and proud to pick up the Europian one. This award is a powerful endorsement of the enormous organisational and financial commitment made by the company in recent years to providing its employees with the best possible working conditions and to encouraging personal and professional growth.
The 2006 612 Scaglietti was first introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show. The 612 Scaglietti 2+2 coupe is the successor to Ferrari’s 456M GT/GTA coupe. The 612 is named for Sergio Scaglietti, a coachbuilder in Modena, Italy, who worked with Enzo Ferrari in the early years of the company. With its 540-horsepower V-12, Ferrari says the coupe can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds. Other than trim and option revisions, little has changed for the 2006 model year.
Alex Wurz beleives that Kimi Raikkonen can win the hearts of the tifosi in much the same way that Gilles Villeneuve had won them. Villeneuve, long considered to be one of Ferrari’s greatest sons, was a legend in the eyes of the tifosi, and Wurz believes Raikkonen can show that same kind of passion.
The 2008 Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale is a high-performance F430 that came from Ferrari’s F430 Challenge series racecar. Compared to the standard F430 coupe, the Stradale features a more aggressive suspension, revised transmission, carbon-fiber interior trim and lightweight wheels, all of which are designed to give the Stradale a harder edge than the standard F430 coupe.
One of the best and the most recent sports car that you can expect to see from Ferrari is going to be the 599GTB. This new one will be replacing the two seater 575M Maranello. The 599GTB is largely based on the four seater 612 Scaglietti’s aluminum intensive platform and is quite different from its stablemate by offering a six inch shorter wheelbase.
In 2004 Ferrari decided not to change anything about the 360 Modena. This mid-engine two seater is the closest thing that Ferrari has to an entry level model. Of course the Berlinetta coupe and the Spider convertible are available as well and Ferrari stated that the Spider has a better framework than any other convertible that is on the market.
Ferrari is one of the most reknown vehicles that are on the market today, is well known for its racing team, and is also one of the most recogized brand names in the world. After targeting the likes of McLaren and Renault on the race track, Ferrari is setting its sights on a much higher target, Disney, with its latest project.
