A couple of knuckleheads in the Australian town of Walkerville managed to wrap the front third of a Ferrari 360 Modena quite effectively around a telephone pole and walk away with only minor injuries. Eyewitnesses report the car was speeding around the local roads (surprise!) and as you can see, the eventual accident was pretty incredible, with the pole intruding to the point where it takes the space normally occupied by, say, the shifter over the transmission tunnel. With yesterday's Lamborghini Gallardo sliced in half width-wise and now a Ferrari split down the middle, it's like learning automotive biology by supercar dissection around here.

Cranking out about 400 HP, this high-strung 3.6-liter V8 from a 2000 Ferrari 360 is certainly not the most powerful engine you can buy for $11,000. Logically speaking, then, there's really not much of a reason to be interested in it. Logic, however, has never heard the scream of eight hot-blooded Italian cylinders exploding at 8500 RPM. Our minds wander with the possibilities for this "perfect" condition mill. There's already one in the back of the " Ferrambo " Nash Rambler wagon, but surely there's an even better application yet for such a glorious piece of machinery. galleryPost('360v8ebay', 3, 'Coulda Had A V8'); Given the choice, we'd much rather have an Enzo's V12 , but the 360's V8 would still be great fun to play with. We bet there's a way to mount it in the middle of an Alfa Romeo Brera . Perhaps hanging out the back of a Fiat 500 ? Or you could just do like the current owner and have it on display on the second floor...

Oh look, another Ferrari crash. Maybe we should have run this Monday when we were having our Maximum Ferrari Crash Morning but now that we look at it, maybe the owner of this 360 Modena just wanted to take it for a little swim. Or maybe he just couldn't find a car wash open late enough. [ Autogespot ]

After the 2008 Geneva Motor Show , we needed a little recoup time, but yesterday we were back on the beat at the 2008 Detroit Autorama. We're just going to lay the smack down right away, the winner of the 2008 Detroit Autorama Ridler Award was a car we saw last year in the building stages - a Ferrari-engined Nash Rambler dubbed "Ferrambo". The bright red lightning rod of holy-shit-that's-crazy stood out pretty strong amidst this years Great 8 as the hands down, batshit craziest entry and we love the Autorama judges for giving it the nod. galleryPost('ferrambo3', 16, 'Ferrambo Wins 2008 Ridler Award'); The Ferrambo may not be the greatest name ever, but it serves up a stout 280 points on the Jalopnik scale, and for good reason. How many other tiny, bright red, two door station wagons with a mid-mounted 3.6 L V8 mill out of a Ferrari 360 Modena have you seen lately? Of Course it's stupidly well built, but the details are really what puts this car over...

Nothing says chav quite like rolling up to your wedding in a 20 foot long Ferrari 360 Modena Limo. Though not quite as impressive as the Czech-built Skoda limo the other day, this one will probably hold more Guinness World Records. The 360 limo was the brainchild of owner and builder Dan Cawley, in partnership with former Mclaren associate Chris Wright. They constructed the car by slicing the beast in half and then painstakingly reconstructing the carbon-fiber chassis, along with adding carbon -iber supports. Even though the car is over nine feet longer than stock, it only weights in at an additional 350 lbs. galleryPost('ferrarilimo', 6, 'One Way To Get To The Wedding On Time'); With those figures in mind, the owners are planning to make a run at the record for the longest Ferrari and the fastest limo in April. Not bad considering we only found out about the Ferrari Limo only about a year ago. If you live in England, you and seven of your closest friends can rent it out...
