This Velo Rossa kit car was built on a 1978 Nissan 280Z that was completely refurbished in 1999 prior to creating the look of a 1963 Ferrari Spyder, and I have owned it ever since. The movie Farris Bueller's Day Off showed a 1961 version of this car, but this one is more Lotus-styled. Only 42 actual Ferrari's of this type were built and the going rate for a real one is around $10M. This is a great cruising car that makes people want to complement you or ask about its history on every drive. Teenagers always want to race with you. In 1999 an ATK-Japan rebuilt stock 280Z engine was professionally installed (now with 12K additional miles on it) and numerous other updates since then (clutch, brakes, tires, master cylinder, injectors, hoses, belts, certain gauges). It has the stock 5 speed transmission, AC & removable hard top. All finishing body work was done professionally and completed with quality Ferrari Rosa red PPG paint with clearcoat; still looks fantastic!  Originally and currently a Florida-titled Nissan 280Z, always well maintained, garaged, and only adult driven for cruising and showing. There are plenty of finer details left to make it your own and make perfect, but she looks and drives beautifully. Spent nearly $40K in building and maintaining it for 14 years, and now it's time to pass the torch -- at half price! Have all major receipts and pics of build history, maintenance manual, owner's manual, and Ferrari history book.

Leak confirms Maserati product plans, five new models

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

It isn't a secret that Maserati is planning a product expansion in an attempt sell 50,000 units annually by 2015, but the automaker hasn't officially announced just how it plans to do so. Yes, we've seen (and driven) the 2014 Quattroporte, checked out spy shots for the smaller Ghibli sedan and Maserati even confirmed the Levante name for its SUV, but a leaked document reported by CarScoop could shed some light on how the Italian automaker intends on carrying out its rapid growth.
According to the image, the new Ghibli and Levante models will considerably lower the entry price point for the Maserati brand with the sedan having a price range from around $72,000 up to just over the $100,000 mark, with the SUV starting at close to $80,000 and topping out at almost $200,000. It also looks like the GranTurismo and GranCabrio will be getting redesigned in the near future at which point the new Gran Sport model will be added to the mix - otherwise known as the which often-rumored sports car with which Maserati will do battle with the Porsche 911.

Lazareth LM847 packs a Maserati V8 into a leaning quad frame

Tue, Mar 1 2016

You want to know what insanity looks like? This is it. It's called the Lazareth LM847, and to boil it down to its essence, it's basically a sport bike built around a Maserati V8. Now this isn't the first motorcycle we've seen packing a giant car engine. There've been more custom jobs than we could list here, and of course there's the Boss Hoss – an American cruiser with a 5.7-liter Chevy V8 at its heart. And we'd be loathe to leave out the V10-powered Tomahawk concept from this discussion. But this is another matter entirely. The LM847 is made by a French outfit called Lazareth. It's the same company responsible for the Wazuma quad bike, the Wazuma GT roadster, and that bonkers Renault Twingo with the Range Rover V8 in the back. In other words, Lazareth knows crazy, and hasn't skimped on it this time. For its latest project, Lazareth started with a 4.7-liter V8 – the kind you used to find the Quattroporte or Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione before Maserati started downsizing and bolting on turbos. It produces 470 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque, channeled through a single-speed hydraulic coupling in place of a multi-gear transmission. Strictly speaking, it's not a motorcycle, but a quad – owing to the tandem wheels at each end. But it has a saddle and handlebars, and looks like it would lean in a fair bit in the turns. We're not about to find out though, because we don't have a death wish. Related Video:

Maserati MC12 GT1 looks, sounds great storming VIR

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Maserati has been celebrating its 100th anniversary all year, but recent visitors to Virginia International Raceway might have gotten to see one of the coolest highlights of the whole centenary. The brand took its already amazing MC12 GT1 racer and painted it up to commemorate its 100th birthday, dubbing the model Maserati MC12 GT1 Centenario. That would be neat enough, but the spectators at VIR actually got to watch and listen to this special edition racecar lap the track with its spectacular exhaust note singing a fantastic tune.
It's rather rare to see these beastly V12 racers on track in the US these days, but they were quite successful in FIA GT1 competition in Europe several years ago. The sound that they make perfectly matches those purposeful, low-slung looks. Switch this video into HD and turn up the speakers to experience a look at this fantastic racecar.
