Awesome Ferrari

Ferrari’s F80 supercar looks like a concept straight out of a video game, but it’s real. Its hybrid drivetrain combines a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 with front and rear motors to produce 1200 hp. Its incredible active aero creates more than 2300 lb. of downforce, and it’ll do 0 to 124 mph in 5.75 seconds. Despite its electric systems, the carbon fiber car weighs just 3362 lb.

Luxury car dealer Tom Hartley presents a wonderfully shot documentary of their collaboration with Ferrari to restore a rare 250 GTO. In 1962, this particular unit went from the factory straight to Goodwood and placed first in its class. When Harley bought it, its body had been stored separately from its chassis. Here’s how it was reborn.

Evoluto Automobili modernizes the Ferrari F355 with the help of automotive design genius Ian Callum and the engineering brains at DRVN. Based on the classic 1990s sports car, the Evoluto 355 has a stiffened chassis, lightweight carbon fiber body panels, a 420 hp V8 engine, Brembo brakes, and upgraded wiring throughout. Just 55 of the cars will be made.

With all of the buzz about electric sports cars, Ferrari isn’t giving up on internal combustion engines quite yet. Sporting an atypically futuristic look, the 12Cilindri 2-seater is powered by a naturally-aspirated V12 engine with 818 hp and a 9500 RPM redline. Designed with aerodynamics and downforce in mind, it will also come in a sexy drop-top model.

The Prancing Horse shows off its sexy side with a droptop version of its sleek Roma 2+2. The front-engine, rear-wheel drive Ferrari Roma Spider has a 3.9 L twin-turbo V8 that makes 612 hp and lets you enjoy its ear candy even more than its coupé brother. With the wind blowing in your hair, it’ll gallop from 0-to-60 mph in 3.1 seconds towards a top speed of 199 mph.

Michael Mann of Heat and Miami Vice fame directed this biopic about automotive icon Enzo Ferrari. A grey-haired Adam Driver stars as Ferrari during a tumultuous period in his life. As his factory is on the verge of bankruptcy, his marriage to Laura (Penélope Cruz) falters, he struggles to accept his son, and he pushes his drivers to win the Mille Miglia.

C’était Un Rendez-vous is a 1976 film by Claude Lelouch, described as the world’s first underground racing video. Captured while much of Paris was asleep or on vacation, the film puts us in the driver’s seat of a Ferrari as it speeds through the iconic streets of Paris, blowing through 18 red lights along the way. (Thanks, Marc!)

The Prancing Horse breaks the crossover mold with its first four-door four-seater. The Purosangue looks like a proper Ferrari, driven by a mid-front-mounted V12 engine that makes 715 hp. It has an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, an innovative active suspension, and an impressive 49:51% front-to-rear weight balance.

An awesome LEGO representation of Ferrari’s limited-run Daytona SP3 supercar. This intricate 3778-piece model features the car’s dramatic butterfly doors, a V12 engine with a working 8-speed sequential gearbox, accurate Ferrari wheels, and prancing horse logos. The 1/8th-scale model measures 23″ long when complete.

Woodworking Art continues to fill out their garage with awesome handmade wooden vehicles. Their latest build is a miniature version of the Ferrari SF90 Spider. It has lots of wonderful details, like a retractable hardtop roof and working suspension and steering. Its seats even slide back and forth, and we love the red brake calipers.

After carving a kid-sized wooden Bugatti Centodieci, ND Woodworking Art found an even more expensive vehicle to build – a working, scale replica of the world’s most valuable car, the Ferrari GTO 250. The wooden version appears to be somewhere between 1/2- and 3/4-scale of the real car.

The sleek and powerful Ferrari 296 GTB features a hybrid rear-wheel drivetrain that produces 819 hp combined. It’s driven by a turbocharged V6 and motor unit which can launch the car from 0-to-62 mph in 2.9 seconds, towards a top speed of 205 mph. It also has a plug-in mode, which provides up to 15 miles of pure-electric driving.

So you want a Ferrari, but you only have $100 to spend. Financial limitations didn’t stop these young men from Vietnam from getting what they wanted. Using cardboard, fiberglass, a metal frame, and a whole lot of effort, they built a rough approximation of an Ferrari FXX-K… and it actually can drive. They also made a Lamborghini.

There’s nothing quite like the sound of a Ferrari V12 engine as it zooms around a race track. Car fanatic SpeedRacer38 posted this phenomenal bit of eye and ear candy, featuring five minutes of a ferocious Ferrari 333 SP race car and the flames it produces as it downshifts. Original video here.

Ferrari’s mid-front-engined coupe has some seriously sexy lines, with a nod to classic Ferraris of the 1950s and 1960s. It packs a 3.8-liter turbo V8 that makes 611 hp and 560 lb-ft. of torque, and can zoom from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds as it heads to a 199+ mph top speed. Its rear profile is especially lovely.

Hot on the heels of the F8 Spider comes a very different convertible from the prancing horse. The Ferrari 812 GTS packs a front-mounted 6.5L V12 that cranks out 789hp and 529 lb-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful production convertible on the market. Does 0-to-62 in less than 3 seconds, and sounds phenomenal doing it.
