Ferrari welcomed us all a little bit early to the Hotel California, and yes, it's a lovely place. In fact, check out the lovely face on the new 2009 Ferrari California just to see if we're wrong. Despite being told we'd need to wait at least another week before shots would officially go live, the prancing stallions at Ferrari have revealed three press photos of the new Ferrari that's been alternately called the " Ferrari GT ," " Ferrari Dino " and "Ferrari Little Tiny One" in the spy photos . OK, maybe not that last one. But the rest of them are accurate. Whatever we used to call it in the spy photos, it's now set to take on a bit of West Coast flair. We'll be pleased as punch to see it in person in Paris later this year. For now, check out the photos below. galleryPost('2009FerrariCalifornia', 3, 'Not So Much Room In The Ferrari California');

The buzz machine for the pending Ferrari F149 just got a lot louder. A teaser website for the pending prancing pony which is apparently now called the Ferrari GT just went up and it's not only touting the time line for our first look, but also gives a specific countdown - -10 days, 23 hours as of this printing 20 minutes — AND engine noises (swoon), AND a look at what we're assuming is the door handle. Hold onto you butts folks cause it's probably going to be a Ferrari GT love-fest for the next 10 days. [ FerrariGT Countdown ]

Despite the deadline for the really real pictures of the new Ferrari F149 (or Dino, or California GT) being supposedly only days away now, new shots have surfaced showing the true shape of the car. Now we're getting somewhere, we can see the tail end drops off with a very Berlinetta-like gusto and the overall shape reminds of the Maranello, though much smaller. The camo also suggests a fairly large radiator intake and two smaller intakes for something down low below the headlights. Very interesting Ferrari, this small GT thing you're working on has got potential. galleryPost('f149spy', 3, 'Ferrari F149 In More Revealing Attire'); [ FerrariChat via Autogespot ]

newVideoPlayer("ferraridinofiorano_Jalop.flv", 493, 410,""); You've already heard about the upcoming baby Ferrari. A lot. Though we're not sure if it'll be called Dino , F149 , California GT , or something else. What we do know is that we're told we can expect it to expose itself in about two weeks . And now, we may also know what it looks and sounds like in motion around Ferrari's Fiorano test track. Is that a V8 we hear screaming through the tailpipes?[ YouTube via autoblog.nl ]

The rumor mill has been churning at full froth lately over a possible new model from the shops of Maranello and Modena. One set of reports calls it a Ferrari Dino , another calls it the California GT and as of late, the third option is the Ferrari F149 . Whatever it ends up being, Topspeed is reporting images of the new car will hit the web in just two weeks time. This means some outlets must have embargoed pictures — which means we'll probably be showing you shots later today after somebody jumps the gun and spills them all over upon seeing a story up saying the words "Ferrari F149." We all know how itchy those trigger fingers can become. But until then, we'll just have to be content to peek again at the spy photos of the Ferrari F149 / Dino / California Dreaming / Whatever and the knowledge that something is on it's way. We think.

You love it, you hate it. The possibility of a front-engined V8-powered Ferrari "Dino" seems potentially sacrilegious, yet quite titillating. We're not exactly sure what to think about the new baby from Maranello. The idea of a smaller, more attainable Ferrari is fine with us, but we usually associate the "Dino" name with a mid-engined V6 model. Actually nobody is really sure what the car will be called. We don't even know if the car will be built by Ferrari in Maranello, or outsourced to Maserati in Modena. It's speculated the sales goal will be 4000 units of the new car. Either way, if it keeps the current breadvan profile of this current test mule caught by the advice giving Aussies at CarAdvice , we're all for them calling it whatever they want to. Mmm... breadvan. Why would Ferrari produce 4,000 lower-powered stallions? Other than reaping the financial benefits of selling that many cars and expanding the brand, Ferrari needs to drop emissions 40...

We keep being told there's no plans for a Ferrari Dino in the future and no cars are in the works. Info like that flies in the face of suspiciously Ferrari Dino -shaped cars on dynos and today's fresh Ferrari mule running around a test track. World Car Fans is running a spy photo of what is either a shocking new shooting brake, or a very heavily camouflaged Ferrari. Speculation puts the car as a platform mate of the Maserati GranTourismo on a diet and sporting V8 power. Guess we'll just have to wait for the Paris Motor Show and see what the new car looks like and what it will be called. Or we could head over to Toys R'Us. World Car Fans is also reporting... ...that Mattel, according to GrandPrixLegends, has announced a 1/18 scale model of the new Ferrari Dino for 2008 and will be priced at just GBP 59 (Euro 78, USD 121). Guess the cat's out of that bag, eh?

OK, we're flummoxed. We've no idea what the heck this Ferrari is that was spotted outside of the R&D center of the prancing horse in Maranello. We're guessing it's a powertrain mule -- but of what kind and what purpose, we've not got the foggiest idea. We're wondering if y'all -- or perhaps the nice people at FerrariChat might be willing to hazard a guess as to the identity of the mystery mule. Full spy report from our magical tipster Kevin Welker (who knows a thing or two about the sound of an engine) after the jump and higher-res shot located here . "I was in Maranello last week and caught this mule pulling out of the R&D center of Ferrari. Not sure if it is old news as a 2010 Dino or some shooting brake concept that would get everyone at Jalopnik all hot and bothered but I thought I would pass it along. It sounded like a V8 to me as it pulled away."

Our good buddy Kennedy ( see here ) just signed a mega-bucks deal with Warner Brothers and took off to England in search of fame, fortune and what have you. Is he buying hot cars with his millions? Probably not, as the American dollar is worth like half a farthing these days. Regardless, if you're going to front as a jet setting, white boy pimp, we can think of few better cars to vamp with than an AWD Interceptor . One of the rides we can think of just happens to be after the jump. Photos courtesy of AJP photography.

Calm down, calm down. It's just a design student's concept. But what a friggin' concept! Looking precisely 317% more like a fighter jet than Lambo's Reventon mega car , the Embolado was penned by the same design student (Luca Serafini) that whipped up one of the niftier not-endorsed-by- Lamborghini Dino concepts . Embolado means, "bull in balls," which apparently has something to do with sticking flaming balls on the end of bulls' horns and letting them run wild in the streets. Sounds insane good to us! Does Lamborghini need a Dino fighter? Ask Ferrari . galleryPost('LamborghiniEmbolado', 4, 'Lamborghini Embolado Design Concept');[ Car Body Design ]

With all the talk of Ferrari 's "new Dino ," a moniker attributed to a massive game of telephone among media types, it's a fine time to dig into the original Dino's history. Pretend it's 1967 (baby), and Pininfarina had just unveiled the Ferrari Dino...

This "new Dino " business is becoming just a bit tedious, to say the least. It's obvious something's out there, despite denials from Fiat's top count, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo. Word is, the "Dino" will be built mainly on Maserati hardware, and possibly...
