Ferrari’s finally unveiled the replacement for the legendary F430. It’s inspired a generation and will truly be missed. The 2011 458 Italia is a beauty, and makes saying goodbye to the F430 a little easier. Although it’s going to make its world premiere in September at the Frankfurt Auto Show, egmCarTech‘s given us all the details (inside and out) for Ferrari’s latest stallion. Power comes from a 4.5L V8, which is the first Ferrari direct-injection engine to be mid-rear mounted. It delivers a total of 570-hp at 9,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 398 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm – over 80 percent of which is available from 3,250 rpm. Mated to a dual-clutch 7-speed F1 gearbox, 0 to 62 mph comes in just 3.4 seconds with a top speed of over 202 mph.

Ferrari hasn’t released any interior shots of the 458 Italia but Omar and company from egmCarTech did manage to catch a glimpse of it during a flash video over at the new 458 Italia site. Check out the shots after the jump.   (more…)

Maranello’s Novitec Rosso is offering an performance upgrade for the already blessed Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M. The company’s RACE Bi-Compressor engine upgrade offers 696-hp with a maximum torque of 503 lb-ft. That allows the open-top Scuderia Spider 16 M to go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph. The upgrade gives subtle visual enhancements as well, but we’re really intrigued by the adjustable hydraulic lift, which enables you to raise the front by 40 millimeters. The front axle goes back to a normal position at a second push of the button or automatically once the car reaches a speed of 49 mph.

Our friends at eGMCarTech have informed us that the 1,000th Ferrari sold to a Hong Kong customer has been delivered. The first Ferrari was delivered in Hong Kong in the early 1960s. Now, about 45 years later, Ferrari delivered its 1,000th vehicle to a Hong Kong customer – Mr. Didier Li. A very special ceremony took place for the delivery of the 1,000th Ferrari in Victoria Harbour yesterday.

Over 65 international media from Hong Kong joined Mr. Li on board ‘Huan’, a Chinese Junk (boat), as he took delivery of his brand new 612 Scaglietti One-To-One. (more…)

Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show was the Ferrari 599XX, a car aimed at a select group of clients incorporating the most advanced technologies from Ferrari’s road-going and F1 research. Based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, the 599XX is an extreme track car.

Expect to own the road with modifications that include a boost in the maximum revs to 9,000 rpms and a new crankshaft and carbon fiber intakes to take some weight off the engine. The new gearbox transfers power to the wheels with gearchange time cut down to 60 ms.

Today’s news of Ferrari reporting record results for 2008 just goes to show how the wealthy are not affected by the economic struggle the majority of the country is facing. The Italian supercar maker sold a total of 6,587 units in 2008, a jump of 2 percent over 2007. The North American market remains Ferrari’s largest with a total of 1,700 units sold there alone. Sales in Eastern Europe grew 23 percent while Middle East and South Africa sales grew 12 percent. (more…)

A fire in Olathe, Kansas ended up doing an estimated $80,000 worth of damage to a couple’s home, but the homeowner asked the firefighters to save his most prized possession: his red Ferrari that was still in the garage.

Olathe Battalion Chief Bill Parker said, “While the guys were fighting the fire, the other company’s in there pushing the Ferrari out. It’s kind of like they went to that pretty quick. It’s a nice car.”

Now, that’s true love, my friends. (more…)

The Chechen Republic has gone through two wars in order to gain independence from Russia. The second one didn’t go their way so they are still an entity of Russia and have been going through a rebuilding process for quite sometime.

Times don’t seem tough for these guys though. DesignYouTrust posted these photos under the heading: “Official Supercars of Chechen Republic”. Say no more, Dmitry.
