Ferrari 599 GTO Mugello
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
We've been waiting for so long that we almost started to think the new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was only the foolish dream of a daily commuter half-asleep in the morning traffic. We've been on the lookout for its cameo appearances in selected auto shows all last year, catching a glimpse of its silhouette in Brazil and hunting down the footage of its first duel with a F-40 Supercar near Las Vegas. Since November 2006, the 599 GTB is not just a dream anymore, but a new thoroughbred designed to represent the Prancing Horse at the pinnacle of what the Italians call Gran Turismo. Succeeding the legendary 575M Maranello was not an easy task, but the 599 GTB Fiorano cuts to the chase and is simply the most powerful coupe ever produced by Ferrari.
In the early '90s, the Italian car maker had drastically improved its image and the reliability of its gorgeous machines with the arrival of Luca di Montezemolo at the helm of the company, along with Frenchman Jean Todt and Englishmen Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn in the racing department. Since its beginnings in the late '40s, Ferrari's fate has always been closely related to motorsports. When its flagship Formula 1 team, led by German ace Michael Schumacher, started its rise back to the top and subsequently won the Formula 1 World Championship five years in a row, everyone knew the time was up for Ferrari to reclaim its title as the maker of the most exciting cars on the planet. A new generation of models quickly followed, first with the 456, then with the famous 360 Modena, the 550 and the 575M Maranello.
The tremendous success met by this revival wouldn't have been complete without the release of the Enzo Supercar in 2002, an exclusive and selective creation named after the founder of the prestigious firm. We would have lived happily ever after with this amazing collection, but as soon as 2004, Ferrari was already introducing the 612 Scaglietti as the successor of the elegant 456. A few months later, the 430 was announced to replace the popular 360 Modena. We had been in love for years with the 575M Maranello, having surrendered to the simple but forceful silhouette and the overbearing V12 tucked under the single air intake in the front. Nevertheless, we have to admit that it shouldn't be too difficult to fall for Ferrari's newest coupe: the 599 GTB is an astonishing achievement in the fields of mechanics and aesthetics alike.
While the shape of the 599 GTB seems to be in part loosely inspired by the fluent design of the 612 Scaglietti, its unbelievable engine comes straight from the V12 first installed in the Enzo Supercar. This is where the legend began: the beautiful and unbridled coupe powered by a massive V12 front engine has been a tradition at Ferrari since the famous 250 GTO appeared in the early '60s. Performances are mind-blowing. Delivering 620 hp at 7600 rpm, the 599 GTB Fiorano rockets from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 205 mph. The F1-Superfast six-speed sequential transmission allows you to shift gears in just 100 milliseconds, an impressive 50 milliseconds faster than the Enzo Supercar. At this level, numbers can hardly restitute the raucous music produced by the Italian engine. To be honest, nothing compares to the sound of a Ferrari V12.

Ferrari Enzo
Fascination of Owning Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari always used racetracks for testing new concepts, cars and technology in their race cars and after few years these cars and technologies appeared on the roads. So it is a new Ferrari Enzo, a pure sports car named after ferrari company founder - Enzo Ferrari. He felt that best road sports cars should be created from race cars. New Enzo has all its technology from F1 racing. There were used advanced composite materials for bodywork.
Some of it parts are made of carbon fibre sandvich panels and Nomex. These materials helped designers to create a fantastic style while they were able to keep its weight to minimum. Aero dynamics were made to meet tough criteria to be able to maintain a very high top speed of 350km/h and over, so they had to increase a downforce of the car. Enzos engine is 12 cylinder with a capacity of 5,998 cc. The goals set for this engine were met fully and now it supplies a blend of high power and torque from low speed.
It is possible to keep a power of 110bhp/litre out of the engine. The enzo chassis is built of carbon fibre and aluminium sandwich panels.Torsion ridigity was proven to be higher than it was targeted.Also chassis weight is decreased considerably to 92 kg. Compared to the previous composite model of F50 which was 102 kg. The new Ferrari Enzo was given an independent rear and front suspension with double wish bones and geometries and adaptive set up. Braking system is by Brembo.

Ferrari FF
Ferrari Reveals First Ever Shooting Brake
By David Hort
Ferrari's website played host to the first images of the Italian marques first ever Shooting Brake model.
Badged as the FF, the successor to the 612 Scaglietti will be a four-seat, four-wheel drive supercar - the first of its kind and touted as a "revolution" by Ferrari.
Alongside other Shooting Brake models the FF stands out as it has rejected the squared-off rear of its competitors instead favouring a more rounded rear-end that smacks of a hatchback.
Again Ferrari has teamed up with Pininfarina - the famed Italian design house - to come up with the FF however similarities can be drawn to Shooting Brake predecessors like the Lotus Elite Type 75 and the Reliant Scimitar.
At its front however, the FF is all Ferrari taking a lot of its styling cues from the Scaglietti it replaces and giving little indication of the alternative rear of the model. It features a wide-spaced front grille and two iterations of the iconic prancing horse.
The FF also grabs the headlines for its engine arrangement.
Under the bonnet it will hold the most powerful engine Ferrari has ever built in the form of a new 6.2-litre V12 engine. Mated to a transaxle dual-clutch F1 transmission, the FF has a massive output of 650bhp allowing the car to clear 0-62mph in 3.7seconds with a top speed of 208mph.
This translates into wince-inducing CO2 emissions of 360g/km and a combined fuel consumption of 18.3mpg - a slight improvement on the 612 Scaglietti whose 470g/km CO2 emissions and 13.8mpg combined cycle were shocking.
Another area the FF improves on its predecessors is in terms of practicality. Despite retaining Ferrari's typical three-door arrangement, it is longer and taller than the 612 Scaglietti meaning interior space and luggage space is not far off the Ford Focus estate.
The Ferrari FF will be officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Ferrari Driving Experiences
Ferrari... Is there really any more to say? The word Ferrari is one of those universal brands. Almost everyone knows what it means and almost everyone can picture that flash of red roaring through twisty mountain roads. Ferrari is at the very pinnacle of the motoring world. Those that are fortunate enough to be rich enough to own a Ferrari of their own must certainly feel a sense of importance and success emanating from the car regardless of its worth. Not everyone can experience this feeling on a day-to-day basis of course and that's life. There is however, a better feeling. A feeling that anyone who seeks it can experience if they so wish.
What many people really want to do is get behind the wheel of one of these iconic red masterpieces and blast it full throttle around a race track of their choice for a tiny fraction of the cost of owning a Ferrari for themselves. Look at it this way: upwards of £100,000 will give you the chance of driving a Ferrari around your neighbourhood to the shops to get some milk, but is that really what a Ferrari is for? Certainly not, a Ferrari needs to be unleashed into it's natural habitat, the race track, with you at the wheel. Ferrari driving experiences are therefore amongst the most popular driving experiences available.
Should you decide to take the opportunity to floor a raging Ferrari around a race track, you will be spoilt for choice regarding the location for this experience. Many companies offer a range of nationwide locations at which Ferrari driving is available so it is a relatively simple task to find somewhere suitable and quite close by. The restrictions as to who can drive one of these cars varies between experience providers but it is generally the case that you need to be in good general health and hold a valid driving licence.
When you arrive you will be greeted and will attend a safety briefing. That should be a comforting statement bearing in mind that a 400bhp super car will be waiting for you to put the pedal to the metal. The briefing will let you know about the specific rules of the track and the conduct required of you. It's not all boring though, because you are then taught the basic principles of how to handle such a high powered car 'in anger' whilst sticking to the racing line of the track (the racing line is the quickest route around the track).
An instructor will then take you for a spin around the track in a sports hatchback so that you can get used to the forces involved in driving quickly whilst someone else is at the wheel. This will also help you to visualise what you were previously taught to ensure that you are properly equipped to handle the Ferrari. What happens next is really down to the individual company and the track at which the experience is booked. At some locations you will next be taken in a Porsche Cayman or an equivalent car so that you can get used to the track and the feel of speed first hand. This type of car is certainly no slouch, with typically some 250bhp available at the ball of your right foot and to anyone who has perhaps only ever driven family cars this might come as quite of a shock. Once you have had a few laps of the track and have started to refine your racing line you will get straight out of the car and your instructor will hand you a key. Printed on this key will be a horse rearing up on its hind legs on a yellow background; the key to a Ferrari.
The Ferrari's available on these experience days are most commonly the Ferrari 360 which was produced from 1999 to 2005 or the 360's predecessor, the 355. If you found the 250bhp car a little wild, you are sure to find one of these Ferrari's quite exhilarating indeed. Words simply cannot describe this experience.
People often approach the concept of a super car experience day with the mindset that the instructor, who is placed in the with you, is there to ensure that you don't go too crazy and break the car. Whilst this is to some extent true - your safety is their primary focus - those who experience a thrill ride in a Ferrari will often find that the only thing restricting them from going quicker is their own confidence. It is very often the case that the instructor will be suggesting ways in which you can increase your speed and cornering ability rather than trying to slow you down. The instructors are professionals and are usually racing drivers themselves so you will probably have a hard time trying to push hard enough to make them break a sweat. You will certainly have no trouble with having an exhilarating drive at the wheel of a Ferrari.
It's not quite over yet. At many circuits you will then go straight from the main event (the Ferrari drive) into a further car. This is likely to be something of a racing thoroughbred such as a Formula Renault, which is the younger sibling to a Formula 1 car. These things stick to the road and corner like go-karts but offer the speed of a sports car. This is the chance for you to drive around the track with no instructor at your side because this type of car is almost invariably a single seater so it will just be you, the car and the track...very, very quickly!
A Ferrari driving experience is certainly something that everyone should consider, if not for themselves then perhaps for a loved one. It is one of the most spectacular feelings that a person can experience and that feeling is by no means out of reach of most peoples' pockets.
