1986 Ferrari 328 GTS
One of the last Ferraris engineered and launched during Enzo Ferrari's lifetime, the 328 succeeded the highly popular 308 for the 1986 model year and offered an increased displacement V-8 and a myriad of detail improvements throughout. The mid-engined 328, offered in both hardtop (GTB) and Targa/Spider (GTS) forms, featured an upgraded 3.2-liter V-8 putting out 270 horsepower, thanks to a sophisticated Marelli electronic ignition system and the retained Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. The styling was freshened with new door handles and tidier and more modern treatment to the front and rear fascias both of which gained body color bumpers. The interior was significantly reworked as well, with new switch gear and revised dashboard and door trims. Production of the 328 ended in the fall of 1989, marking the end of the transverse mid engine Ferraris, a line that began with the 246 Dino. Nowadays, 328s are revered for their blend of usability and comparable reliability, as well as the comparative ease of servicing since the engine does not need to be removed to perform a belt service. This car had one long term owner who serviced the car fastidiously from 1992 to 2013. That owner purchased the car at Lake Forest Sports Cars in Illinois and brought the car with him when he moved to Palm Springs in 2008. He serviced the car consistently, including a belt service in 2009 and another belt service in August of 2011 at 57,348 miles. The water pump was also rebuilt at the air conditioner serviced with new compressor and receiver-drier. The car had a recent complete repaint in its original color (due to aging of the original finish rather than accident damage) and the wheels were also refinished. The car is in excellent cosmetic condition. The paintwork was done to very good standards and is virtually unmarked, with minor orange peel in certain areas and a handful of small marks but extremely fresh presentation overall. The body is straight and displays proper panel fit, gaps, and operation. The wheels were refinished and are excellent. The glass and lights are in very good condition with minor road wear to the front windscreen. The interior is in good original condition. The dashboard is excellent. The leather upholstery is generally good, with minor wear to the driver’s seat bolster and a small hole in the same area. The leather is intact and free from cracks but is a bit hard. The carpets are in very good shape with the only significant blemish being some cracking to the binding on the driver’s floor mat. The switches and instruments are in good original condition. The engine compartment is tidy, clean, and detailed to good standards. It is stock in appearance and shows minor aging to some painted components but presents extremely nicely overall. The trunk is in good shape with nice original carpet although the zipper on the cover is broken. The front compartment is in good original condition with original plastic liner, spare, and mechanical components such as fan motors and windscreen washer reservoir. This is a great opportunity to acquire a well-maintained 328 GTS that is up to date on service and finished in an attractive and unusual color combination. 328s have been enjoying significant appreciation in recent years and as such they represent excellent opportunities for investment potential thanks to their blend of relatively modern operation and performance with the attractive economics of classic cars. It was owned by the same fastidious owner for over twenty years and is complete with books, jack, and service records back to 1992. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: This car is sold AS IS without warranty.

Luxury carmakers make way more than just cars
Tue, Feb 24 2015Whether it's as simple as Ferrari offering model cars or as opulent as Bugatti with an $84,000-belt buckle, practically every automaker does more than just sell cars to keep their brands visible. The profits from these ventures might not be enough to keep the lights on, but in such a competitive industry, any extra cash is welcome. For the automakers that get licensing just right, there is a ton of profit to be made. According to a recent story examining the practice by The New York Times, Ferrari makes around $2.6 billion from merchandising each year, and General Motors tops that at $3.5 billion. Beyond just a profit center, merchandising can also protect an automaker's name. Take Hummer for example. The GM division shut down years ago, but it has continued to produce licensed cologne on sale around the world. "Because we still have the active fragrance, we're protecting the brand if we ever decide to bring it back," Gene Reamer, a GM licensing senior manager, told the Times. The whole piece is a fascinating look into this often ignored, but quite lucrative facet of the auto business. Read it for yourself, here.

Ferrari 458 Speciale A is most powerful Prancing Horse convertible ever
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Let all of the speculation finally end because the convertible version of the Ferrari 458 Speciale is here. However, the Prancing Horse isn't calling it a spider; instead it's dubbed the 458 Speciale A, which stands for Aperta or "open" in English. It's also limited to a scant 499 cars, a few more than the 458 first rumored.
Regardless of its name or production numbers, what really matters is Ferrari's claim that this is its the most powerful droptop production model ever. That is thanks to the same 4.5-liter V8 from the hardtop Speciale, with 597 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque.
The aluminum-retracting top doesn't change performance much, while letting the wind blow through the owner's hair at ludicrous speeds. Ferrari claims the setup adds about 110 pounds (50 kilograms) to the overall weight and can open or close within 14 seconds. Acceleration to 62 miles per hour is reported at 3.0 seconds, about a tenth slower than the coupe, and the Aperta can hustle to 124 mph in 9.5 seconds.
Maserati Levante could get a V8 to battle the Cayenne Turbo
Tue, Apr 19 2016Maserati's new Levante crossover is based on the platform shared by the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans. The Quattroporte's top engine is a 523-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8. When asked if that engine would fit in the Levante, a Maserati engineer gave the answer we were hoping to hear almost immediately. "Yes, it fits, and we have a prototype already," said Davide Danesin, the head of Maserati vehicle programs. The Levante will launch with two models, both of which use the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that Ferrari builds for Maserati, but in two different tunes. The first generation of the V6 launched in the Ghibli and Quattroporte. While the V8 is only currently used in the rear-drive Quattroporte GTS, Danesin assures us that packaging the V8 and an all-wheel-drive system works. There is that prototype, after all. The fact that Danesin volunteered that a V8 prototype exists leads us to believe it's being very seriously considered, since manufacturers reluctantly acknowledge that there will even be a future, let alone one that will bring new, as-yet-unannounced products. Maserati officials caution that it may be tough to make a case for such a vehicle, however, as the over-500-hp SUV segment is pretty small, at about 12,000 units per year by their estimates. It's also relatively crowded, with the logical bogeys being the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (520 hp) and Turbo S (570 hp) and the Range Rover Sport SVR (550 hp). None of them will touch the Levante's upcoming American cousin, the Hellcat-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, but that's cool. View 21 Photos We'd guess that the yay/nay on a V8 Levante will hinge on the overall popularity of the new model as well as the mix of 345-hp Levante versus 424-hp Levante S models once customers start ordering. Which is to say, if you think you'll want a V8 Levante eventually, get out there and buy a few Levante S models when they hit dealers this October. In other Maserati powertrain news, we're told the second-generation V6, which makes 20 more horsepower in its angriest tune and debuts in the Levante, will show up in the Ghibli and Quattroporte "soon." We'd peg that at mid-cycle refresh time, which should be in a year or so. The second-gen V6 gets its extra power from re-profiled camshafts, some redesign work on the heads, and other tweaks, likely in software. Oh, and for more on the first Maserati crossover and that updated engine, watch for our first drive of the twin-turbo V6 Levante very soon.
