Chris Harris Trades in His Personal Porsche for a Used a Ferrari 599 GTB


It's no secret that Ferrari has banned auto journalist Chris Harris from driving its press cars after a rant back in 2011 where he revealed, among other things, that the Italian company "custom-tunes" its vehicles for track tests and media purposes.

However, just because Harris is pissed off with the way Ferrari's people try to manipulate the motoring press doesn't mean he has a beef with Maranello's cars – at least not with the regular models.

If Ronald McDonald had a Car, EE-I-EE-I-O…


Among the many perks of buying a Ferrari, is the ability to mix and match colors from a wide range of tones for both the exterior and interior of the Italian automaker's supercars.

Still, entrusting customers to make their own colorful selections isn't always the best idea, as this customized Ferrari 599 GTB clearly proves.

Kahn Design-Fettled Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano


The car you see in these head-twisting photos is a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano prepped by UK-based tuner Kahn Design.

According to the company, the "Kahn touch" comes via the addition of front and rear sections (which to be honest, we are having a hard time making out from these images), ceramic brakes, wing shields (we are not sure what the tuner means by this), an upgraded F1 gearbox and yellow brake calipers.

EVO Compares New Ferrari F12berlinetta to 599 GTO


By now, you’ve probably read almost everything there is to know about the Ferrari F12berlinetta. Just four days ago, we also brought you the first two video reviews.

This time, Evo magazine has driven the fastest and most prancing horse ever - at least until the Enzo successor comes along later this year. Nothing to make a big fuss about, surely, since most leading publications will sample Maranello’s latest and, arguably, best supercar.

U Spot: Notice Anything Different About this Ferrari…GT Aperta?


Carscoop reader Jonathan Y. emailed us these pictures of a Ferrari SA Aperta with a few styling twists that he snapped in Switzerland.

Jonathan tells us that the Italian roadster looked original but featured some differences over the regular model including a 'GT Aperta' logo finished in black at the rear end of the car.

Revealed at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the standard SA Aperta is a roadster version of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano equipped with the 599 GTO coupe's more potent 6.0-liter V12 producing an output of 661hp (670PS) and a peak torque of 620Nm (457 lb-ft).

Fatal Accident with Ferrari 599 GTO Leaves Three Dead in Singapore, Sparks Anti-Foreign Sentiment


A horrific accident that took place in Singapore this past Saturday leaving three people dead and two seriously injured has fueled an outrage in the country.

The crash was captured on film by a vehicle that was not involved in the incident. The video footage shows a blue Hyundai Sonata taxicab pulling ahead a couple of seconds after the green light goes on.

As the taxi reaches the middle of the crossing, we see a speeding red car, later recognized as a rare Sg$1.8 million (US$1.43 million) Ferrari 599 GTO, smashing into the blue sedan. The Ferrari most likely ran a red light. According to reports, the taxi then hit a motorcyclist.

Pretty Girls Pose Next to Gumball 3000 Ferrari 599 GTO


The 2012 edition of the wacky Gumball 3000 rally is almost upon us as the event, which will see contestants driving some 3,000 miles from New York City to Toronto and from there to Los Angeles in seven days, starts on May 25.

Among the many participants is Team Autogespot from Holland that will run in a rare Ferrari 599 GTO.

The limited edition Italian supercar, which is powered by a tweaked 6.0-liter V12 engine churning out 670-horses at 8,250 rpm and maximum torque of 620Nm (457 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, is dressed up in a rather awkward looking vinyl wrap with cart-postal-like automobile pictures.

Perhaps the lovely Dutch ladies posing next to it in the videos that follow after the break will succeed in deflecting your attention away from the wrap.

First Photo of Ferrari F620 GT Snagged During Presentation


The two-seater replacement for Ferrari's 599 GTB Fiorano, which will likely be called christened the F620 GT, wasn't supposed to come out in the open before February 29, as stated in the company's teaser videos.

However, we don't have to wait that long for our first look at Ferrari's new supercar model as a reader of GTSpirit was able to take a quick shot of the car during what appears to be some sort of a presentation.

The new model adopts a similar design language to the Ferrari FF with curved fenders and a large grille up front, behind which you'll find what the Italian automaker describes as the most powerful engine ever to be used in a regular production Ferrari.

Ferrari Drops Another Meaningless Teaser Video of its 599 GTB Successor


The new Italian supercar that will replace the 599 GTB Fiorano in Ferrari's lineup and which may or may not be named the F620 GT has been video teased for the second time this week.

Sadly, Ferrari's video teasers are of little worth, as we don’t get to see anything substantial about its new supercar model.

What Ferrari has told us is that the 599 GTB's replacement is that it will be the most powerful production model in its history and that it will be fully revealed on February 29, about a week ahead of its first public appearance at the 2012 Geneva Auto Salon.

If you still want to watch the video, you'll find it below the break.
