Those of us who have been waiting to judge the styling of the new 2009 Ferrari California until we had non-studio photos to look at are in luck: Judgement day has arrived. These are the first shots we've seen of the brand new folding-hardtop Ferrari outside of the studio and not wrapped up in camo. But we're still not sure what we think about the styling. galleryPost('2009FerrariCaliforniaoutside', 6, 'It Is So Choice'); The California definitely looks like it fits in with the rest of the current Ferrari range. But depending on who you ask, that's not necessarily a good thing. Now that we can see real-life lighting on the red-painted surface, the lines don't look quite as exaggerated as they did in the studio...but we're just not sure if we like those lines or not. The car's certainly not as subtle as a Aston Martin V8 Vantage, but you'd be hard-pressed to call it downright ugly. Perhaps just a bit over-styled. But that's just us; what do...

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');

With just under 8 days until the official reveal of the new Ferrari GT , our anticipation keeps rising as the countdown clock keeps ticking. These new shots show off the camouflaged rear end of the upcoming stallion, an angle we haven't seen much of. Interesting to note are the vertically stacked tailpipes, something not seen on any other current Ferrari model. Technical details are still unconfirmed, but whatever kind of engine is in there, it sure sounds pretty dang good . [ automobil.se ]

newVideoPlayer("FerrariGTsound.flv", 494, 287,""); We just told you about the new sound clips released of the soon coming Ferrari GT , but since some of you may be using some sort of strange internet browser that inhibits you from listening at Ferrari GT Countdown , we figured you'd like it if we provided you with the teaser clips here. Like we said, it's gonna be a baby Ferrari love-fest as that countdown clock keeps ticking closer to zero. [ Ferrari GT Countdown ]

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?
