            1997 Ferrari 355 Spyder six speed in very rare Canna di Fucile

Pininfarina sculpture plus wind-tunnel developed function equal one of the prettiest of modern Ferrari V8's.  And of course what a V8: its 3.5 litre five valve per cylinder, all aluminum even the con-rods and 11:1 compression make for glorious sound and performance.  The 355 Ferrari has a light and nimble feel that seems lacking in the newer Ferrari V8 cars.  That plus its simple lines make the 355 a wonderful drivers car.  This 24k mile Spyder wears a its very rare Canna di Fucile Metallic color extremely well.  Yes Ferrari's look good in red, but some models can be extraordinary and elegant in other shades and this is certainly one!  
 
SF Bay Area from new, this 355 Spyder presents itself well; paint appears all original thus there are a few nose chips and minor blemishes, sides of the car are very nice as is hood and deck lid and rear.  The interior is lovely and seats are excellent but some evidence of dash leather shrinkage. Top is very good and toneau excellent.  Wheels very good with some very slight scrapes, tires are mid 4/32 wear.  Engine and bay is very tidy and clean and shows no evidence of any major leaking.  Partial manual set, full tool kit are with the car.  Thankfully, most of the switches and bezels have been changed out to remove the all too common "sticky."  The Ferrari drives very well, clutch take up is positive and immediate, steering tight and responsive, engine is smooth and revs wonderfully!  Brakes have slight squeak when cold but when warm are immediate.  Top actuates, as do al switches properly.  Major service is due but exhaust manifold and catalytic updates have already been done.  This is a lovely high level driver Ferrari that would take little to achieve a show level, plus its simply elegant in its attire.

Ferrari to stop supplying Maserati with its engines

Thu, May 9 2019

The Ferrari Q1 earnings call was full of information, and perhaps the biggest revelation was that Ferrari is going to stop supplying engines to Maserati. CEO Louis Camilleri broke the news, and The Motley Fool posted a transcript of the whole call online. "Eventually, we will no longer supply engines to Maserati, which actually from our perspective is actually a good thing, both from a margin perspective, but also the fact that we can transfer a lot of the labor that's been focused on the engines to the car side of the business," Camilleri says. Maserati has used Ferrari engines (arguably, one of the most compelling reasons to buy a Maserati) in its vehicles since 2002, a little while after Fiat passed Maserati off to the prancing horse. The partnership continued as both Ferrari and Maserati were under the same house at FCA. Then when Ferrari was spun off from FCA in 2015, they kept the supply steady to Maserati. Those engines include a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V8. Camilleri said Ferrari will officially stop in 2021 or 2022, with no intention of supplying anybody with engines beyond that. Of course, this leaves Maserati high and dry with no engines for its growing lineup. Maserati will have to reach into the FCA parts bin, find a new outside supplier or develop its own engines. Battery electric sounds out of the question. As of now, there doesn't appear to be a clear plan going forward. We've reached out to Maserati to see if they have any comment on the situation as it stands.

LaFerrari XX coming early next year with F1 engine

Fri, 02 May 2014

With the embargo up on early reviews, the repetitively named Ferrari LaFerrari has become the supercar du jour. It has already been put through its paces by Top Gear and Evo. However, we know that Ferrari isn't done with development of its current halo model just yet. News continues to leak out about the even more hardcore LaFerrari XX track car.
Ferrari already confirmed directly to Autoblog that the XX is under development. There are even spy photos of it testing at the Nürburgring (pictured above). It reportedly clocked an astonishingly fast six-minute, 35-second lap at the historic track. The latest scuttlebutt about the track-focused supercar, according to Top Gear, is that it ditches standard car's hybrid 6.3-liter V12 engine with a combined output of 949 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque in favor of a Formula One-derived V6 turbo hybrid. That would be a huge change but would likely cut weight. The more insane LaFerrari could debut as soon as January or February of next year.
Ferrari says it's difficult to make the XX accelerate much quicker than a standard LaFerrari, but slick tires, revised suspension and aero changes should cut lap times. A version that doesn't have to worry about road car laws and just focuses on being fast could be truly mental.

Crashing a Ferrari was the best life lesson I've ever had

Tue, Apr 5 2016

I screamed out a string of expletives as the gleaming Rosso Corsa-bodied F430 spun sideways through the curve, locking up the brakes, and sending the $240,000 Italian masterpiece sliding into the forest, coming to an abrupt and grinding halt, narrowly missing the tree line and avoiding my untimely death. As the proverbial dust had settled, I knew that I had been through one of the most harrowing experiences of my life and I was alive to tell the story. I knew for sure I would never live this down, not financially and definitely not socially ... or so I thought. Big mistakes often have a polarizing effect where on-one-hand we don't have a real way to know the scope of the damage and this results in fear of the unknown, but on the other hand we usually know we're okay and this results in strange internal calmness. For me this experience led to a major life lesson, an amazing story to tell, and a level of humility that served to be instrumental in all of my future endeavors. Throughout my entire childhood I had built up an obsession with Ferrari. I grew up with a poster of a yellow F355 Spyder above my bed, and like many kids I admired fast, ridiculous, and unattainable cars. Fast forward to adulthood, I found an opportunity that coincided with my love for these cars and a chance to drive one from the lauded brand as a birthday present to myself. A local exotic car rental business had a package that allowed you to test drive six exotic cars from various manufacturers, each more colorful and ostentatious than the last. I knew this was my chance to come up close and personal with the cars of my dreams. That is, until the whole experience went awry. On the day of my dream car tour, I drove myself and a friend to the New Jersey headquarters of the rental company. Greeted by nearly two dozen of the finest exotic vehicles available for purchase, doors open, the visual experience alone proved to be astounding. In addition to completing a slew of legal paperwork, we were all required to watch an introductory safety briefing, complete with photos of various past mishaps on the tour. The instructor stressed the importance of safety and actions we should take care to avoid. Our carefully planned route along the winding hills of Harriman State Park were detailed prior to departure. Each of the six drivers for that day would take their allotted turns at commanding two-Lamborghinis, two-Bentleys, one-Maserati and one-Ferrari.
