Novitec Ferrari 16M:

Exotica Motorsports breaks this story with some non-official images of the Novitec Ferrari 16M.
The Novitec Ferrari 16M is the latest creation from the German tuner. Taking an amazing car like the Ferrari Scuderia and Ferrari 16M to the next level of performance, is a tough task. Novitec outfitted this 16M with their 3-pc NF3 wheels in custom painted colors. The NF3 wheels are 20x8.5” front and 20x12” rear and feature Pirelli tires. The suspension is converted to their Hydraulic Coil-Over Suspension system which allows for a 40mm front end lift when entering driveways or going over speed bumps by the touch of a button. The engine of this very special 16M is outfitted with a twin supercharger system that gives a horsepower rating of 696hp! Finishing off the car is Novitec’s black tail lights, LED third brake light and reflectors. Novitec also has a range of products for the Scuderia and other Ferraris.

The Wind has been Delayed

2012 Pagani Huayra (NA Spec)

It turns out that the rumors of the Huayra's airbags were true. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) is currently blocking the Huayra from making it to the market due to its lack of the advanced airbags required on all new cars sold in America, which is quite a problem for potential owners, and Horacio Pagani himself. The company did request that the car be sold in the U.S. despite the fact that they did not have any financial resources to develop the required airbag system, but the administration denied this request. Why do NHTSA need this? To protect our kids from having serious accidents. But, honestly, what kid would ride shotgun with their dad in a car like this? I don't think their dad would even let the kid come near such a car. I see all this as a load of shenanigans. Unless their dad is a rich crack head and needs mental help, no kid should ride in this car unless their ready. Why? Paganis are crazy cars that pay immense attention to detail when it comes to design, power, and, most importantly, the road. A kid won't be able to understand these things until they're my age, which is about adulthood. I think the NHTSA should stop being whiney babies, open their eyes, and see that this car should be ridden and driven by experienced drivers/riders. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Pagani has two choices now: 1. Go back to the drawing board and spend another $5.7 Million to develop a U.S. spec advanced airbag system which could take more time and more money out of your wallet. Or 2. Skip out on this market again like the Zonda. I'd go with option #1 because we need Pagani to come our shores. Why? Just to get up in Ferrari's and Lamborghini's faces.

One expensive Repair Bill

Fender Bender Maybach 57

If you have a Maybach, and this happens, you'll be paying $24,000 just to fix it. Don't believe me? That's what happened in Monaco when a blonde girl in a Bentley Azure scraped a Ferrari F430, tussled a Mercedes S550, damaged an Aston Martin Rapide, and dented a Porsche 911 Carrera. There were many words that were exchanged during that whole debacle, but in the end, the woman took full responsibility of her actions. I hope she can pay the bill for her Bentley, cuz if she had that Maybach, she might be out of a job.

The Italian Menace

2011 Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am

It seems that Ferrari just won't give in to failure or exclusion when it comes to racing. Their latest supercar, the 458 Italia has already been involved in the FIA GT2 and the inner Ferrari Challenge circuits, but it looks like the mighty Grand Am's want to see if the car is really "all that". For racing reasons, the traditional 562 horsepower 4.5-liter Ferrari V8 engine has been detuned to 500 horsepower to keep the car between the lines of the other race cars in its class. So, it might be slower than the actual road car, but nevertheless. Ferrari always have a way of tuning their race cars to perfection. So, this detune might be forging a path something big hidden in this racer. Let's see how it does on the track. 

Happy 45th!

2012 Ferrari Superamerica 45

There are some manufacturers and dealers out there that adore their valuable customers. For example, my dad, a big Mercedes man, has become a valuable customer of Ray Catena Mercedes in Edison since he's been with them for almost 10 years. The people there are always looking to give him a good price on a new Merc. Ferrari is just like that, only much, much greater. Their most valuable customer, Peter Kalikow, has been with them for 45 years, and they decided to honor him with an exclusive one-off. Say hello to the Ferrari Superamerica 45. Now, you might've heard of the name Superamerica before because, a couple years back, Ferrari did make a Superamerica in the body of a 575. Now, the Superamerica takes its place in the body of the current 599. Everything on this car is bespoke, including the iconic fold-down targa top. The body has been painted in Blu Antille in order to match the first Superamerica out there, the 1961 400 Superamerica that Kalikow still has in his garage. The wheels are body painted with a diamond finish, the grille has been given a chrome finish, and the front splitter, sideskirts, and rear diffuser have all been given a sweet dark blue painting. All-in-all, this looks like a wonderful "Thanks for Being With Us" present for the honorable Mr. Kalikow. I hope he enjoys it.

Droptop Prancing Horse

2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta

Summer's almost here and yet more droptops are appearing on the streets. Here's Ferrari's latest droptop, the 599 SA Aperta. You may have seen one of these last year when it was secretly revealed to some wealthy businessmen. Well, Ferrari has decided to put finally put 80 of these on the market. The SA Aperta is basically the 599 GTO with a removable top. It still has the powerful 6.0-liter 661 horsepower V12 engine which takes the car from 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 202 MPH. The name SA Aperta is Italian for open and refers Sergio and Andreas Pininfarina, the father and son team that once led the famed Italian coachbuilder (Pininfarina). Aperta stands for the car's manually removable convertible top. Only 80 of these will be made, all of which have been spoken for, so if were thinking about buying one, I'm sorry but you were too late. Anyway, some footage has surfaced the internet of the car in real life at a car dealership. Check out the video below to see the car in all of its splendor.

Making Driving Easy

2011 Ferrari 458 Italia

It's one of the fastest things to come out since the Lamborghini Gallardo. It's the sexiest thing to come out since the Aston Martin Rapide. It's the 2011 World Performance Car of the Year. It is the Ferrari 458 Italia. To celebrate this momentous award, Ferrari recently uploaded a video proving that the 458 Italia is a bit more simple then people have thought it to be. Now, if you remember Top Gear back in 2010, Jeremy Clarkson took this thing for a ride at the track and to find out that it's more complicated than a laptop.

"This isn't driving. This is like playing pelmanism" - Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear

But after seeing this video, I think Ferrari cleared most of their stuff up. What do you think? Take a look at the video below if you think they cleared it up.

And the World Car of the Year is...

2011 Nissan Leaf!

And you thought the Volt would take the crown, but alas, the Volt is not sold everywhere yet, and the Leaf itself garnered more votes than the Audi A8 and BMW 5-series, its real competition. If you recall, last year's winner was the Volkswagen Polo. Anyway, Congrats Nissan on making the best car of 2011, even though I really don't care about it. But, to those Volt fans who wanted the electrifying Volt to win, don't worry. The World Car Committee wasn't done with that car just yet. 

2011 Chevy Volt

The mighty Volt earned the 2011 Green Car of the Year award for being the most fuel efficient. Last year's winner: the Audi A3 TDI. Fact: the car's battery lasts much longer than the Leaf's, so if you're into buying a cheap electric car this year, I think the Volt is your best bet. These were just two awards, though. The World Car Committee had to more they had to give out.

2011 Aston Martin Rapide

Aston Martin was given the World Design of the Year award thanks to the Rapide's sleek and sexy design. Last year's winner: the Chevy Camaro. I don't blame them. Both cars are equally good looking, but the Rapide is just a sexy looking thing. Aston Martin deserves this award.

2011 Ferrari 458 Italia

And finally, the 2011 Performance Car of the Year award goes to none other than the Ferrari 458 Italia. This car left its predecessor, the F430, in bleeding dust. This car turned the tables on the Gallardo, the LFA, the Ford GT, anyone who came in contact with it. This award only goes to a car built for speed, agility, and performance. Last year's winner: the Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro. So those are the awards, which were given out today in New York. If your favorite car wasn't on this list, don't worry. They could be on the list next year. If they're not, go and yell at the company to make their cars better.

The Most Expensive Book in the World?

Ferrari Opus

Anything with a Ferrari logo on it, in reference, costs 300% more than its regular value. For example, the Ferrari T-shirt that I was wearing when I wrote this article cost me $75 and all it had was Felipe Massa's last name imprinted, the PUMA logo, the Brazilian Flag, a Brazil bumper sticker, and the Scuderia Ferrari emblem on my top left (your right) corner. Doesn't sound like much does it? Well, the book that you see here is called the Ferrari Opus, and it costs $275. Oops, a mistype there. What I meant to say was $275,000! You heard me right! This book in essence costs more than a Ferrari California. What do you get with it? A Diamond-Studded Ferrari front cover and 852 pages worth of the best of the best of Ferrari. 852 Pages! My Bible has more pages than this and it costs what? $16? Clearly, only the fortunate and true Prancing Horse fan can afford this book. But honestly, the only real reason it costs that much is the Diamond-Studded front cover. 30 Diamonds were used to make the Scuderia Ferrari cover, each rich in "rock flavor" if you will. They'll make many editions of this book, but the diamond edition comes exclusive.

Crazy meets Crazier

2011 Ferrari 599 GTO vs 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (Courtesy of James Lipman)

How's this for a photograph? Two of the craziest supercars out there from Italy and Germany battle it out in the rain at the Nürburgring for crazy rights! The gray one has 661 horsepower out of an all new 6.3-liter Ferrari V12 engine. The latter has 620 horsepower out of an all new 3.8-liter Twin-Turbocharged Flat-6 engine. Both will do over 205 MPH and 0 to 60 in under 3.5 seconds. Both are extremely exclusive and cost over $300,000. Both have their own ways of approaching corners and leaving grins on drivers' faces after a few minutes of driving. Both are just absolutely bonkers!! Anyway, James Lipman recently posted pictures of these supercars on his website. I'll have them up here and on my Facebook page in a bit. Don't look for too long now. They might turn you into a speed freak!

Customization at its Best

2012 Ferrari FF

So the FF's sold out this year. No worries! Why? Because now, if you have an internet and a true taste in cars, you can customize your very own Ferrari FF at the Ferrari website. There are different wheels, trims, features, and options to choose from. You can even save your configuration if you have a Ferrari I.D. so that when the FF comes back either next year or the year after, you can just show the picture of your custom FF and the Ferrari boffins will do the rest for you. Of course, you'll need enough money for them to do it though, about $300,000 to be exact. But who cares! Once you configure your prancing horse, it will remain on your wishlist for years to come.

2011 Ferrari 458 Italia (Test Drive Unlimited 2)

VS.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C (Test Drive Unlimited 2)

Now, some of you might've read the magazines warning Ferrari and Lamborghini owners about McLaren's newest creation: the MP4-12C. It has certainly been a threat for Ferrari and their new 458 Italia. Both cars are almost identical, it's hard to pick which is better. Well, I will do that for you, by implying some TDU logic. Check out the video below to see my review of both cars based on Test Drive Unlimited 2. I must warn you now: if you are a Ferrari 458 Italia owner, stop reading here and don't look at this video.

The Best of Italy...Sold OUT!!

2012 Ferrari FF

Looks like you're gonna have to wait a while in order to get one of these. Two of Italy's biggest motoring bombshells have been loved by the entire world that they are now sold out until further notice. First, there's the Ferrari FF, Ferrari's first all-wheel drive sports car. They managed to make this a hatchback with a 651 horsepower V12 engine, all-wheel drive, and a very pretty face. Well, if you've wanted this one, you'll have to wait for it. And he's not the only one.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Yep! I am sorry to report that Lamborghini's all new Aventador is also sold out as well! Well, what did you expect? It's the raging bull the whole world was waiting for. Lamborghini's ultimate hyper-car has achieved worldwide fame through looks, power, and price. But, the best thing about these two supercars are they aren't limited like a Reventon or a Special Edition Range Rover. Ferrari and Lamborghini do plan on creating more in the near future. That should be good, right?

Ferrari 458 Italia Complete Data and Review

The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engined sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari. The 458 Italia replaces the Ferrari F430. The 458 Italia was officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September 2009, and will cost around £170,000 (Base MSRP of $230,675 for US market)The body was designed by Pininfarina, as with all recent Ferrari models. The car’s exterior styling and features were designed for aerodynamic efficiency, producing a down force of 140 kg at 124 miles per hour (200 km/h). In particular, the front grille features deformable winglets that lower at high speeds, in order to offer reduced drag. The car's interior was designed using input from former Ferrari Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, including a new steering wheel design which incorporates many features and controls as opposed to them being on the dashboard, similar to racing car designs. According to British car magazine Auto Car, the 458 Italia's design has drawn inspiration from the Enzo Ferrari and its Mille Chili concept car. It has been designed to be Ferrari's sportiest V8-engined car, to distinguish itself from the recently launched Ferrari California.
