Cantua Creek, California, United States
If you have any questions please email at: paulpnnorkin@winebuffs.net .
An Exceptionally clean and original example of a beautifully rare 12 cylinder Ferrari 456. Completely stock.
Practically Blemish free very close to new in every respect, recent service, new tires and oil change, with
maintenance records of around $4000 from the Ferrari Dealer. Wonderful color combination.
Original paint on the car and even the wheels, only minor touch up on the bumper.
Over 185MPH top speed with automatic transmission, making it a comfortable daily driver as well as a grand tourer.
All options in as new working order. Please do consider that the 97 model has some notable better features than the
later 456, 2 of which are:
a) The 97 model has 2 hood scoops on the left and right on top of the hood, the later models have non, (the scoops
being a more exotic Ferrari-esk agressively designed sports car touch).
b) The second difference is the later cars have plastic trimmings for the console and controls. These plastic items
shrink as a matter of course, the 97 model has aluminum used for these parts which is for most intents and purposes
permanent.
A notable feature of this particular car, is that the factory leather on the dash is soft, supple and un-shrunk,
whereas, 90% of other 456 Ferraris in the market do suffer from leather shrinkage.
Additionally the leather on this car is un-dyed, a rare fete in itself considering the age of this vehicle, and a
testament to the care given to this car, all together making this car an exceptional example.

Alonso and Rossi to field Ferrari at Le Mans?
Thu, 26 Dec 2013The plot thickens and just keeps thickening when it comes to Ferrari's potential return to Le Mans. Antonello Coletta, the head of Ferrari's sports car racing program, first suggested that the new regulations being implemented by the ACO could potentially see the Prancing Horse marque compete in the top-tier LMP1 class. His thoughts have since been echoed by Stefano Domenicali, the head of the Scuderia's F1 team, and by chairman Luca di Montezemolo. And now we're hearing rumors over its potential driver lineup.
Word has it that Ferrari could send Valentino Rossi and Fernando Alonso to pilot its prototype at Le Mans in 2015 or 2016. The rumors were tweeted by Mark Webber (embedded below), who recently left F1 to drive for Porsche at Le Mans - and could amount to pure speculation, to some inside track on hard news or (as is often the case) something in between. One way or another, both Rossi and Alonso are multiple world champions in their fields with strong ties to Maranello and would make a formidable lineup - particularly if paired, we'd venture, with Ferrari's test driver Marc Gené, who won at Le Mans with Peugeot in 2009.
Although the Rossi connection would seem the greater stretch, it might actually make the most sense of the two. With nothing left to prove on two wheels, the seven-time MotoGP champion has been talking about leaving the series. He's test-driven Ferrari F1 cars on several occasions and raced the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 in the Blancpain Endurance Series last season. The move would be a rare departure for Alonso, however, who has raced almost exclusively in open-wheel single seaters his entire career, and would need to balance the program with his F1 commitments. That is, assuming he doesn't get fed up with chasing after Sebastian Vettel and teaming with Kimi Raikkonen by then.
Ferrari rated world's most powerful brand ahead of Apple
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Ferrari has nabbed the honor of becoming the world's most powerful brand from Apple. According to Brand Finance, the Italian automaker earned the highest rating among all brands on the Global 500 list despite being worth considerably less than its competition. But the ranking takes into account more than just a company's bottom line. Brand Finance also looks at margins, average revenue per customer and less tangible notions like brand affection and loyalty.
There's no disputing those latter two categories, and this year saw Ferrari enjoy the best financial results in the automaker's history. In 2012, the company's revenue jumped by eight percent to 2.43 billion euro thanks in part to a 4.5 percent increase in deliveries worldwide.
Meanwhile, Apple squeaked out ahead of Samsung to earn the top spot as the most valuable brand at $400 billion. You can check out the Brand Finance press release below for more information.
Xcar goes analog with the Ferrari F40
Tue, 16 Sep 2014We will forever be in love with the Ferrari F40. From its blunt-force appearance to its 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine living and breathing perilously close to the driver's head, the F40, the last model designed and built with input from Enzo Ferrari himself, has been and likely always will be the Ferrari of Ferraris for automotive enthusiasts who grew up in the 1980s.
All of this raises an interesting question: is the Ferrari F40 the best supercar of all time? A case can certainly be made, and after watching - and, just as importantly, listening to - all 17 minutes of blood-red Italian glory from Xcar, you're going to have to try long and hard to convince us that anything could be sweeter than this particular Prancing Horse.
Watch the video above, aptly titled Analogue Animal. You owe it to yourself. So go ahead, sit back, turn up your speakers and click play.
