Production of the Ferrari California has commenced, and for the occasion a new assembly line has been inaugurated at Maranello. The program called “formula Uomo” (a play on words meaning “formula man”) started in 1997 and was designed to render the factory work more comfortable and streamlined for staff. A new futuristic restaurant has also been opened at the facilities. In the meantime, the wait for the little one from Ferrari is becoming nervous and the photos and video are a terrible tease coming up to the Paris debut in October. © Source: eurocarblog We need your comments below >>

German tuning alchemists NoviTec Rosso have joined forces with custom chopper builder Walz Hardcore Cycles to produce this, a Ferrari F430 with pinstriping, a 707bhp twin supercharged engine and a chalkboard black paintjob. Inspired by a conversation between NoviTec boss Wolfgang Hagedorn and chopper builder Marcus Walz, the F430 TuNero is, to quote Spinal Tap, 'none more black'. It has matt black bodywork, black calipers, black interior and black seats. Underneath, the TuNero has a pair of superchargers, air-to-water intercoolers, a revised intake system and oil coolers and new injectors. Maximum power is an Enzo-humbling 707bhp at 8350rpm and 525lb ft of torque at 6300rpm. As you expect, performance is brisk. 60mph comes up in under 3.5 seconds, and flat out the TuNero reaches 216mph. The TuNero is a one-off, but NoviTec will build a similar car for around £300,000 . Walz build custom choppers for F1 champ (and tat-fan) Kimi Raikkonen. Weâ™d imagine this is exactly the kind of...

When we think of Ferrari we think of supercars that has that certain sex appeal, no one makes a fast car quite like the Italians. However it seems as if the prancing horse has a little issue with catching fire, the car this time was a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano which self-ignited when it came to a stop. I would hate to be in the driver’s shoes right now, as it was not even his car. The car was being driven by a worker for Romans International supercar garage in Banstead, UK, while he was driving the dream machine he could hear a strange sound coming from the rear, which was quickly followed by a huge amount of smoke and then the fire. The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano worth £250,000 is now a write-off, thankfully though the Ferrari was still covered under its warranty. However, this is no consolation to Ferrari owners around the world who must now be wondering if their prized possession will catch alight. You would think that a company like Ferrari would never suffer from any such problem like this...

Talk about being in the news and making news! As rare as that is, Broadcaster Chris Evans did just that when he paid £5.5 million ( $107, 591, 059 USD) for a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder - a new world record price for a car at auction. The 42-year-old multi-millionaire bought the car at a Ferrari sale at Maranello , Italy. The dark blue supercar used to belong to James Coburn, star of The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape, who died in 2002. Coburn, who appeared in more than 100 films, bought the car second-hand in 1964. Other leading Hollywood actors including Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood also owned similar cars. It's not the first time Evans has splashed the cash on fancy cars. In 2000 he famously bought a Ferrari for his future wife Billie Piper, the day after they met - and filled it with roses. © Source: luxurylaunches We need your comments below >>

This is what a red Ferrari looks like after it crashed into a guardrail on the Tomei expressway in Shizuoka, Japan on Sunday. Believe it or not the driver and a passenger both survived the crash, suffering only minor head injuries. The Tomei Expressway, the main artery linking Japan's east and west, runs between Tokyo and Nagoya. Other expressways and major railways connect with Tomei so that the transportation network extends throughout Japan. There are 15 Tomei Expressway interchanges in Shizuoka. Getting to Shizuoka City from either Tokyo or Nagoya takes 2 hours via Tomei Expressway and 3 and half-hours from Osaka. © Source: luxurylaunches We need your comments below >>

Fiat Group’s luxury brands Ferrari and Maserati have both posted record results for the first quarter of 2008, despite global economic uncertainty and increasing stock market volatility. Ferrari’s profits have been fueled by higher sales in its V12-powered line up, the 612 Scaglietti and 599 GTB Fiorano, with customer deliveries jumping 4 percent to 1,654 units. Revenue grew almost 20 percent to 456 million euros , with its trading profit almost doubling to 59 million euros compared with the same period last year. Last year, Ferrari set its best record for revenues, up 15.3 percent to 1.67 billion euros . Its trading profit was up 45.3 percent to 266 million euros and unit sales up 11.1 percent to 6,488 cars. Maserati increased vehicle deliveries 21.3 percent to 2,234 units in the first quarter, greatly due to the success of the new GranTurismo four-seat coupe. This has resulted in a 10 million euros trading profit compared with 1 million euros it had lost in the same period last year....
