2001 Ferrari 360 Spider F1 on 2040-cars
|
2001 Ferrari Spider (Euro) Original and only owner. The VIN is ZFFYT53B000125373. This is a European specification car that I bought new while I was living in London. I determined early on that the car was better suited to my vacation home in Florida and engaged Autosport Designs of Long Island, NY to do the EPA and DOT work. I titled the car in Florida in 2003 where it has remained. I returned from London in 2005 and have since been using the car regularly. Obviously not for the red/tan buyer, this monochromatic car is pretty low key for a Ferrari. The interior, roll hoops and convertible top are all in gray and the exterior is Argento Nurburgring. The car is accident-free and in excellent overall condition. The exterior has a few stone chips and there are a few small scratches over the rear bumper cover, but they are not really noticeable. I never tracked the car but I have driven it almost 24k miles. Chips happen. The interior is likewise in excellent condition. All the sticky switch gear has been cleaned or refinished. The upper dash shrunk, which is not uncommon under the Florida sun. I had it replaced by Ferrari and it remains in great condition. I had ceramic film installed on all glass to help prevent a reoccurrence. The driver’s seat shows a little wear (see photos), but it’s in great condition for being 13 years old. The passenger seat rarely held a passenger. The original floor mats were wearing out, so I added the ones pictured. The originals will go with the car. I'm happy to accommodate a pre-purchase inspection at buyer's expense. FACTORY OPTIONS: F1 transmission Gray convertible top Matching gray roll hoops CD / RDS stereo 6-disk cd changer HID headlights (option in European markets at the time) ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: OEM Ferrari Challenge wheels Capristo exhaust (no valves) Custom professionally installed sound system (Hertz, Audison
and Alpine) with Bluetooth Escort 9500ci radar/laser detection professionally installed HomeLink rearview mirror (with 3 memories) Challenge Stradale TCU Ceramic film on windows and windshield (70%-almost clear) Clear bra on front bumper Battery tender (hardwired) SERVICE HISTORY: The car has been timely and fully serviced exclusively by authorized Ferrari dealerships (first by Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale and more recently by Ferrari of Tampa Bay). I will gladly detail dates and descriptions of services performed but will not scan and email copies. Of course, the extensive and complete service history is available for in-person review by potential buyers or their representatives, and the records will go with to the new owner. The car underwent an annual service in Nov 2013. Before that, in May 2012 at 21,981 miles, the car underwent a belt service and had a new clutch installed, including new flywheel, ring gear, etc., etc., etc., to the tune of $16k after discount. Included in that service was a new A/C compressor to resolve a slow leak. The new owner will get a car with absolutely no deferred maintenance. All the weaknesses of the early 360s have been attended to. All the expensive work has been done and is current. ADDITIONAL NOTES: The stereo installation is reversible. I have all the original equipment, which will go to the new owner. I bought a second pair of door pockets for the custom door speaker installation (the speaker grills mimic the Hertz logo). I have the original door pockets, which will go to the new owner. Subwoofer enclosure is friction fit and easily removable for service (as pictured). I have the original wheels and tires (which are essentially unused), which will go to the new owner. WHAT’S INCLUDED: The car, as described The original covers for the car, seats and steering wheel The original flat tire repair kit The original complete tool kit The original complete complement of owner’s manuals,
including alarm and radio code cards The original wind buffer screen The original battery tender (European version) The original wheels and tires 1 red and 2 black remote keyfobs 2 keys (one unused) All original stereo equipment Original, unaltered door pockets Original floor mats All service records |

Formula 1 seeking independent engine supplier
Mon, Oct 26 2015Formula 1 could get a new engine supplier in the near future, if Bernie Ecclestone and the independent teams gets their way. According to Autosport, the FIA is soon to open the contract up for bids, and there are already several manufacturers that have expressed interest. Currently Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and Honda supply engines – both to their own premier teams (Red Bull and McLaren for the latter two) but also to other teams like Williams, Sauber, and Toro Rosso. Because the new turbocharged V6 hybrid power units cost those four suppliers so much to develop, they're charging their customer teams big bucks – around $20-30 million per season – to provide the engines. These costs are much higher than the $10 million or so it used to cost to purchase a V8 engine under the previous regulations. Ecclestone figures it's time to bring in another supplier who will not run their own team and not play favorites, but will supply engines to private teams at a lower cost. There are already a number of potential suppliers under consideration. One of them is said to be Cosworth, which has a long history in the series stretching back to 1963. The British firm stepped back between 2007 and 2009, returned in 2010, and dropped out again after 2013. The development could be of particular benefit to Red Bull, which has been unable to find an engine supplier and could be forced out of the series as a result. The team has long been powered by Renault, but that relationship has grown sour. And the other three engine manufacturers have not been forthcoming in offering an alternative arrangement for the team.

Vettel steals victory from Hamilton in Australian Grand Prix
Sun, Mar 25 2018MELBOURNE, March 25 – Sebastian Vettel made full use of the virtual safety car to sneak in front of Lewis Hamilton and hold off the frustrated champion to win Formula One's season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Sunday. The Mercedes engine's infamous 'party mode' that delivered Hamilton a blistering pole lap on Saturday could do little once Ferrari's Vettel nosed ahead when re-entering from pit-lane midway through the race at Albert Park. Pole-sitter Hamilton had appeared set to coast to victory with a clear pace advantage but the race turned on its head with the safety car, which was called after Romain Grosjean's Haas failed and rolled to a stop at turn two. In another bonus for Ferrari, Kimi Raikkonen finished third, fending off Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and leaving the unlucky Australian still searching for a first podium in his home race. "We got a bit lucky." Four-times world champion Vettel claimed a 48th overall win and his third in Melbourne following his victories at Albert Park last year and in 2011. "It was needless to say we got a bit lucky with the timing of the safety car," the German, who had started from third place and inherited the lead when Hamilton and Raikkonen had pitted earlier in the race, told reporters. "It's not the easiest track to pass." For Hamilton, the result was a bitter pill to swallow and had echoes of last year's race. Vettel also managed to re-enter in front of him from pit-lane in 2017 before burning away to victory while the pole-sitting Briton was blocked by traffic. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said his team had miscalculated the margin between the cars during the safety car period. "We thought we had enough margin," he told the BBC. "It must have been a software bug in the system that caused us to get it wrong. We are digging deep now to understand where we had a problem." "I don't understand what's happened." Hamilton, who cockily spoke of "wiping the smile off" Vettel's face with his pole lap on Saturday, battled to keep positive. "Even now I don't understand what's happened," the 33-year-old told reporters. "I did everything I believe I was supposed to do." After the pit-lane setback, Hamilton drove hard to reel in Vettel and battled back after taking a slide at a corner that blew out the lead to nearly three seconds. But he finally waved the white flag in the closing laps to preserve the car for future races.
This is what it's like to drive Magnum PI's Ferrari 308
Sat, 26 Oct 2013In the pantheon of 80s pop culture, few cars have such provenance as the Ferrari 308. Sure, vehicular icons like the DeLorean and Pontiac Trans Am (especially in time machine and KITT guise) made us swoon back in the day, but there's something about the bright red Italian that makes it stand out; perhaps it is the 308's performance credibility, at least when compared to other memorable cars of its ilk.
Our fondness for Magnum PI's Ferrari 308 is shared by Oscar Verdugo, who's featured in the video you'll see below. Brought to you by theAFICIONAUTO, this video highlights the bond between the men and women who own and love such so-called star cars, and it focuses on one particular 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSI.
