We purchased this car from a dealer up North, they were advertsing the car as retail ready. We made an offer on the car and were surprised when a month or so later our offer was accepted, oh little did we know. When we received the car, the first thing we noticed was the bad shrinkage to the upper dash and dash pod. The came the engine check light, then the missing tools, then the missing Tonneau cover for the convertible top. We started the car and tried to operate the convertible top, not surprisingly this didn't go to well, not too much of an issue, quite normal in the 355, just replace the seat potentiometer and re calibrate the roof. We took the car to the Independent specialist we always use to have these few things taken care of. Well, about an hour went by and I get a phone call from the technitian to go back, he needs to show me some other issues he has noticed. This is where the list starts, he has immediately noted that the cambelts which were supposed to have been changed recently looked terribly worn and deteriorated and there was obvious corrosion on the tensioners, a sign that the major service hadn't been done for quite sometime. He had also noted that the radiators on either side were leaking, the bottoms were quite badly corroded and the seams were letting fluid by. Putting the car on the computer to check the clutch, which incidentally was supposed to have been replaced at the same time the service was carried out, the result, clutch was 100% worn, now the computer is only accurate to + or - 5% and that is why the car would still drive, but not for long. On checking the cause of the engine check light we find that both Catalytic Converters were well below efficiency. (We later determined that one Catalytic Converter was completely empty and the other had remnants of the precious metals rattling around). We have since, done the complete Cambelt service with all Fluids and Tensioner's and Bearings, replaced the Clutch, replaced both Radiators, replaced both Catalytic Converters, had the both the Dash and Dash Pod recovered with leather, purchased a complete Tool kit and New Tonneau Cover. You might be asking yourself what the point of this story is, well my point is that when some dealers say "Retail Ready" and describe a car as "a Really Nice 355" that is not Black Horse Motors "Retail Ready" or a Black Horse Motors "Really Nice 355". My point, we may be towards the higher end of pricing on our cars, but our cars are at the very highest quality they can be, we don't sell cars that need anything. If a retail customer had purchased this car from the dealer in Illinois, they obviously wouldn't have purchased the car at wholesale, then the value of the work we have had carried out would be close to a retail value over $20,000. A Buyer could easily be into this car for over $80,000 maybe more. Save yourself time, stress and a whole lot of money, buy from Black Horse Motors and enjoy your car, not let her sit in a service shop all summer when you could be having a blast. We sold her Summer 2013 to a gentleman in the Daytona area of Florida who enjoyed her for about 700 miles and then decided because nof his age a new Corvette would be better for him to drive.

Seeing one Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many people because so few exist, and those that do generally trade hands for tens of millions of dollars. At this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, there are 20 of these amazing rarities lined up next to each other. Situated right on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, you can actually hear the waves lapping against the rocks during the quiet moments. Just a few feet away these thoroughbred Prancing Horses are on display and being polished to perfection. The Testa Rossas represent some of the most important historic racers in the world, and the mix here include a prototype, a Le Mans winner and models that counted drivers like Phil Hill and Dan Gurney behind the wheel. Not all Testa Rossas were created equal, though. Ferrari built both factory racing and customer versions, and they came with curvaceous bodies from Scaglietti and a bit more angular look with dual snouts from Fantuzzi. Many of them also had further modifications from there to make each one about as unique as a snowflake. Check out our fabulous gallery of all 20 of these beautiful red heads on display together.
Ever wonder why the Dubai Police have a fleet of vehicles worth millions and millions and millions of dollars? Why it has a Bugatti Veyron and a Bentley Continental and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with sirens and light bars? Well, here's the reason. This video shows the fleet on display on the Emirate's roads and highways, while also reaching out to the people the police are meant to protect. It's an impressive display of machinery, to be sure. Alongside the Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes, we spy a Ferrari FF, a Brabus G-Wagen, a BMW M6, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a McLaren MP4-12C (although the latest Dubai Police car, the Lexus RC F, is absent). The video even has a very cinematic look and feel to it, which works well with the night scenes and the blues-and-twos of the exotics cruisers.

If you look at the stratospheric sticker prices on the latest generation of hypercars and wonder how an automaker could possibly justify it, bear in mind a few factoids. For one thing, even when the sticker prices start lower, they quickly balloon past the million-dollar mark. For another, automakers charge that much because they can, and don't seem to have much trouble selling them all. Case in point: the new LaFerrari. While presenting the state-of-the-art supercar on CNBC, Ferrari North America CEO Marco Mattiacci revealed that all 499 examples that will be made of the hybrid hypercar - including those 120 earmarked for North America - have already been spoken for. This despite the $1.4 million asking price that makes it the most expensive Ferrari ever made. Or the most expensive new Ferrari, we should say, because prices for the most collectable machines ever to roll out the gates at Maranello continue to rise. Figure you'll save a little and get LaFerrari's predecessor? Trading hands these days at prices approaching $2 million (around three times its original $660k MSRP), the Enzo is even more expensive. And that's just the scarlet tip of the iceberg.
