The rare and beautiful classic Ferrari 340 Mexico Vignale Coupe, 1952, exceeded all expectations after a recent auction house RM Auctions sold for the amount of 4.3 million dollars (3.03 million euros). The promoters of the house was estimated to sell around 3.5 million dollars but dropped out after one of the three Mexico Vignale Coupe ever built, caught the 4.29 million dollars.

The car competed in the race Carrera Panamericana (as in the Mille Miglia) the third most dangerous race track in the world in the hands of Luigi Chinetti and Jean Lucas. The race took place from 1950 to 1954 and 27 participants died and after a serious accident at Le Mans, the race was decided not to ever happen again.

It Came from eBay Hell: Toyota Celica-Based Ferrari F430 Replica

0 comments Posted by Car at 6:45 AM

There are probably more Pontiac Fiero-based imitations in the world than real Ferraris. Today, though, we have something a little different. No, it is not a Pontiac Fiero-based Lamborghini Miura (we have already had one of them), it is a Toyota Celica that has been transformed into a passable F430 replica.

Did I say passable? Well, only just. From the front, it looks okay, with the hood, headlights and A-pillar being sufficiently F430-like. As you move back, however, it all starts to unwind. The awkward side window treatment, slab-sided rear flanks and the shape of the rear windscreen just seem wrong. Though you can’t expect much from trying to transform a front-engined, front wheel drive Japanese coupe in a mid engine, rear wheel drive Italian exotic.

Things only get worse inside; the interior is essentially stock seventh-gen Celica with stick on parts that are supposed to give the impression of a Ferrari interior. Suffice to say, it does not work. The seller is asking US$45,000 for a car that nominally pulls around $7,500 on the used market, a frankly ridiculous price.

Geneva 2011 Live Photos : Ferrari 458 Italia by Novitec

0 comments Posted by Car at 11:13 AM

Novitec Rosso understand. Unlike some companies engaged, not improve, but to reinterpret the work of others, the German trainer is one of the few firms that have managed to internalize this "less is more" and the Geneva Motor Show showcases an exquisite Ferrari 458 Italy bow tie and tuxedo dress. There are few exterior changes, but that is why his is a faultless preparation. Lowercase carbon fiber parts have been added to the original body of Ferrari as a discrete add-in, along with a new aluminum rims and tails darkened escape.

Out of sight, improvements at the level of suspension, weight reduction and a spin motor thoroughly. The use of new exhaust and input, along with several tweaks, electronic, power increase from 458 Italy 570 to 609 hp, while raising the rev limit of 9,000 to 9,100 rpm, letting a machine not is just breathtaking sight, but also exceptionally competitive in the circuit.

Mansory's Ferrari 458 Italia

0 comments Posted by Car at 2:32 PM

Mansory's products are always eye-catching (if not necessarily attractive), whether they be a clear coat carbon Aston Martin named Cyrus or that silly pink Bentley. Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the beholder. That being said, allow me to introduce you to the Siracusa. Rant and rave in the comments below.

Underneath all the new and revised carbon fiber body panels (now with more louvers!) is a Ferrari 458 Italia. Named after a Sicilian raceway, the Siracusa has received a respiratory performance boost to 590 horsepower / 434 kW and 560 Nm / 413 lb-ft representing gains of + 20 hp and + 20 Nm / 15 lb-ft over the standard model.
Thanks to the bump in power and drop in weight, Mansory claims the car will hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds and attain a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).
The Siracusa rides on 20- and 21-inch wheels (f/r) sheathed in Michelins, while inside is the same old tuner car song: carbon fiber, leather, and ultra-suede. Also, a new suspension setup lowers the car 20 mm. Next!
