  I am selling my 1996 Ferrari F355 GTS 6spd manual. I have been with this car since 1996, registered it to my business, then myself. I have the original window sticker. It does have 31k miles but I have receipts to prove this baby is MINT. I had a major service done in June 2011 and its only gone 2000 miles since. I did all the belts, both radiators, alarm, secondary water pump, main water pump, tires, interior fixes (removed all sticky vents, clusters, console) replaced with new. $22,000. Then in May 2013, I had the headers replaced, A/C compressor replaced, fluid flush, and a few other items $15,000. If you are in the market for a F355 remember to buy the car with the best service history, not the least amount of miles. Even if you dont buy mine, look for service records. I can tell you that unserviced F355's will be $10,000 each time you take it in for service. I can doubt that no other 355 owner has put this much dealer service into the car. The wheels have been refinished and are mint. I have the rare vinyl top, not the common fiberglass color top. The only flaw on the car is some wear on the drivers bolster. I was going to get it fixed but I prefer original. I like this car cherry, so I keep it that way. There are a few pebble nicks on the front bumper but overall the car is very good for a 1996 car. Just ask me to send more pictures.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."

James May's Ferrari 488 GTB road test makes us miss Top Gear

Thu, Jun 11 2015

Whoever the BBC lines up for the next iteration of Top Gear, the reality with which we're coming to grips is that the show will likely never be the same. The question is whether the departing hosts will ever be the same without each other, and without the show that brought them together. This clip could go a long way towards answering that question, though. In this video review for the Driving section of the Sunday Times, James May joined the gaggles of gathering journalists in Maranello to check out the new Ferrari 488 GTB. And suffice it to say, it's not quite as entertaining (or even as well-informed) as most of the segments in which we've grown accustomed to seeing Captain Slow driving fast cars. James does have some rather relevant experience he might have imparted, though, seeing as how he didn't just drive the ultimate version of the preceding model – he went out and bought himself a 458 Speciale shortly before losing his job. So with GBP200k of car payments to make, we're hardly surprised to see him fronting for another operation. Whether it's worthy of him or not, you'll want to watch the clip to decide for yourself.

Video proof that LaFerrari has a pure electric mode

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Typically, a hybrid car, with its gas engine and an electric motor/battery pack is able to run on both forms of propulsion independently of each other. That means you can sip gas, run on pure electricity or some variation there of. The Ferrari LaFerrari is not like other hybrids.
See, the successor to the Enzo has batteries, an electric motor and a great, thumping V12 engine, but unlike its rivals from McLaren and Porsche, it has no standalone electric mode. That's been Ferrari's party line since day one. But have the Italians been exaggerating a bit? Judging by this video, it seems like a real possibility.
The video comes from what we're guessing is a European track day. It shows a black LaFerrari stealthily sailing through a tunnel on pure electric power, which it shouldn't be able to do, before its 789-horsepower V12 fires to life.
