The Fiorano represents the final F355 produced by Ferrari and was a truly special car; it topped a line which will
forever be installed with the pantheon of great cars. The F355 Serie Fiorano's production was limited to a run of
100 cars, all of which are spiders.
The Fiorano is easily identified by its lowered stance, the result of a revised suspension based on that of the
Competizione racing variant. Further racing influences on this special model are the red brake calipers, racing
brake pads, and cross-drilled rotors which compliment the drilled aluminum pedals found within the car. This F355
has the feel of a race car due to reprogrammed electronically-controlled shock absorbers, larger antiroll bars,
stiffer springs, and quicker steering ratio.
Serie Fiorano is distinguished by interior Carbon Fiber accoutrements, suede-covered steering wheel and a silver
plaque inscribed with the car's production number on the dashboard. To distinguish it's limited production the
Fiorano's exterior is adorned with a black Challenge rear grill and factory-mandated enamel Scuderia Ferrari
shields. These are not the typical glued on variety you see on so many other Ferraris. Instead, these are properly
recessed into the fenders by Ferrari.
For 1999, Ferrari introduced a limited production of F355 Spider models designated, "Serie Fiorano" Launched in
March, 1999, this limited production run of 100 planned units (104 actually produced) included a number of
performance enhancements:
Here is a list of modifications that make the Fiorano not just a rare car but a more focused driver's car as well:
1. Red brake calipers
2. Suede steering wheel
3. Dedication number plaque
4. Rear challenge grill
5. Carbon fiber interior accents (Console/trim around radio and three gauges above)
6. Carbon fiber F1 paddles
7. Carbon Fiber center console
8. Scuderia shields recessed in front fenders
9. Competizione-derived Fiorano suspension package-(consists of stiffer front and rear springs, lowered ground
height, dedicated set up for the steering device, providing less assistance at low speeds and racing type brake
pads mounted on red calipers.)
10. Challenge rack
11. Front/rear challenge roll bar
12. Stiffer rate coil springs
13. Shock ECU specific to Fiorano setup
14. Drilled and ventilated brake discs
15. Carbon Fiber Door Sills
This is a rare example of an attractive model with the major belt serviced having recently been completed. The
Fiorano edition gives the car tasteful additions and makes its extreme rarity particularly attractive to the
collector. With the car comes the owner's manual pack and toolkit.

This computer-generated Ferrari 250 GTO carved from marble rocks
Thu, 06 Feb 2014The Ferrari 250 GTO ranks as perhaps the most valuable production car ever made. In just the past two years, units of the ultimate '60s sports car have sold for $32 million, $35 million and maybe as high as $52 million. With just 39 of them ever assembled, these Ferrari owners are among a rarefied class of an already top-tier class of car collectors. So once you collect the ultimate car, then what do you do? How about buy a scale model of it hewn from a single block of Arabescato marble by stone specialist Lapicida?
Interestingly, no sculptor developed a leathery callouses on his or her hands over the hundreds of man hours surely necessary to create this work of art, nor were dozens of hand tools worn to the nub in the pursuit of this homage to Italian performance. To create the 1:3.6 replica of a 1962/1963 GTO, Lapicida simply laser-scanned an actual GTO and fine-tuned the resulting data in 3D modeling software. Then, the file was sent to a computer-controlled, five-axis mill to shape the marble, which was selected because the veining gave the illusion of speed. Finally, it was hand-finished to make sure the details were as crisp as possible. The completed model measures 47.2-inches long, 18.1-inches wide and 13.4-inches tall and retails for a tidy £30,000 - over $49,000 USD.
Impressive though it may be, it seems hard to imagine spending that sort of money on a car that you can't sit in or drive down the road. Then again, if you can afford to own a real 250 GTO, it's barely pocket change. Lapicida also takes commissions, so if you want a marble model of your car, they're happy to do it. Then again, if you just need your foyer retiled or your personal chef's is demanding an upgraded kitchen, they'll do that, too. Scroll down to get the full details on the model.

Ferrari Speciale and Porsche GT3 make the trip to Le Mans
Thu, Aug 6 2015Call it a pilgrimage. Call it a right of passage. The bottom line is that every racing fan should make the trip to Le Mans at some point. All the better if you can do it in style, as Evo has for this latest video. Instead of taking any old car through the Chunnel and along the French countryside to the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, Evo made the trip in the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3. Both are more extreme versions of the already capable sports cars. They're still naturally aspirated, drive the rear wheels through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and both won top honors in Evo's car of the year awards upon their release. And we could hardly imagine better vehicles for the journey. Along the way, the convoy-of-two stopped by the side of the old Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. Back in the 1950s and 60s it was regarded as one of Europe's finest street circuits, hosting the French Grand Prix five times. It was closed down and paved over in the decades that followed, and is today part of a public thoroughfare but you can still drive around it and see some of the relics of its former self peering through.
