1998 FERRARI F355 SPIDER, showroom condition in a very rare and desirable color combination of Titanium metallic over dark red interior with a black top and contrasting red Ferrari-Brembo brake calipers. The optional titanium paint was only offered on later model 355 Ferrari F355 (e.g., not available 1995-1996) and this is one of only 10 F355’s make with the color combination of Grigio Titanio and red leather.  

Lots of upgrades including $10,000 spent on upgraded 3-PIECE custom HRE wheels with substantially wider front and rear tires, a sweet sounding Capristo exhaust, Momo steering wheel (original wheel included),  MACarbon carbon fibre door sills  as well as upgraded OEM Ferrari disks and brakes.

 The major service engine-out service was completed in March 2012 at 21,400 miles,

The car comes with the original manuals, toolkit as well as the original Ferraro car and wheel cover

This is a stunning looking car that runs well. A great investment as the F355 is now at the bottom of its depreciation curve and, if you have been watching the market, they're now appreciating.

According to most all polls, the majority of Ferrari owners feel the F355 is the best looking of all the modern V8 Ferraris (360-430), at least until the $300,000 458.

Also important is the fact that this is a six speed. Ferrari is not making them anymore and you don’t have to worry about a $14K hydraulic pump failing. There is NO comparison, the F1 in a 355 is not good.

Ferrari manufactured more than 13,000 360 Modenas while they produced just 2,664 F355 Spiders for the entire world. That’s it. A total of just 2,664 Spiders. This rarity combined with its stellar reviews and that Formula 1 race car sound, assures the F355 of collector car status. It’s not all that long ago Dinos were $30k. Now they’re five to seven times that sum. Legendary racer Phil Hill said the F355 is one of the top ten Ferraris of all time.

Ferrari recalls 458 Italia because its trunk is a dangerous place to stow kids

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Ferrari is recalling 3,000 458 Italia and Spider models and, believe it or not, it's not because they may catch fire. Nope, instead, the issue focuses on anyone that's unfortunate enough to become trapped in the Ferrari's perilously small frunk (front-mounted trunk).
Apparently, should someone find themselves trapped in the car's nose, the interior release handle only lets loose one of frunk's latches. That means that while anyone held captive by the V8-powered supercar won't be in danger of suffocating and will still be able to call for help, the cars are still ultimately in violation of federal safety mandates.
According to Uncle Sam, should someone become trapped in a trunk, like a child, they must be able to open the trunk from the inside and escape. That can't happen in the 458.

Ferrari F50s duel in world's most improbable tug-of-war

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

If it wasn't obscene enough to go off-roading in a Rolls-Royce Phantom or rally driving a Ferrari Enzo, the Tax The Rich crew has gotten its hands on a pair of ultra-rare Ferrari F50 models to perform a tug-of-war battle, which we usually see reserved for pickup trucks. Only 349 F50s were ever built, but this video pits two of them against each other by attaching a rope to the front ends, throwing the shifter into reverse and punching the throttle.
As we've come to expect from this video troupe, the action starts off with plenty of gravel-chucking, dirt-road drifting before the two cars finally meet head-to-head. Scroll down to watch the 520-hp V12s screaming in reverse as the tires smoke away.

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.
