Current @ Garage Current: 1999 Ferrari F355
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img Garage Current :::1999 Ferrari F355
GENERALLY, our favorite Yokohama shop of Teutonic wonders is, just that: a purveyor of the best that Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, RUF, and BMW offered us in the 80s and 90s. This Ferrari F355 Berlinetta happens to be a happy exception to the Germanic majority.
Avanti! Ferrari 458 Italias In Action
The camera work on this 458 Italia promo is really very good.

eBay: 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img via eBay ::: 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider
WHEN viewed from the front, there are better looking Ferraris. When behind the helm, it’s clear that there are faster Ferraris. But with the average sticker price now below $100K and a sublime tail when viewed either from the rear three quarters or directly behind, the 360 Spider has a lot going for it. Those twin sets of circular tail lamps make us wonder why Ferrari only settled with two in the latest 458 Italia.
No, at the end of the day the 360 Spider won’t be as vaunted as the 458 Italia. But then again, who cares? It’s still a Ferrari.
Note To Buyer: Ferraris Are Meant To Be Driven
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img Pawel Litwinski via BaT ::: 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB
“AFTER many years parked… it runs!” So proclaimeth the seller, who upon finding this mostly unfooled-around-with “barn find” in southern California claims to have had her up and running in a matter of days.
Time capsules like this ’66 silver on black Ferrari 275 GTB are indeed precious as they were loved and driven and unpampered. It likely won’t be long before some collector plops down seven figures on the table, takes it off to have his people restore it to better-than-new condition, and parks it in a garage full of other no-touch princesses for another three decades.
Ferraris are meant to be driven!
Thanks, Jim!
Pink Elephant? Gray Ferrari Testarossa on eBay
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img via eBay ::: 1991 Ferrari Testarossa
GRAY on a Ferrari seems a paradox. On a Testarossa (remember: Testarossa = “red head” in Italian), a sacrilege. At least in theory. This Flo-Rida based, Euro-spec, slightly modified, grigio metalizzato sul rosso (metallic grey on red) 1991 Ferrari Testarossa has us rethinking our preconceptions. Challenging the rosso corsa norm, if you like. Having seen 57 kM over the course of its two decades, the gray Testarossa looks remarkably well preserved… okay, it’s actually stunning! Who’d have thunk it? But then, with a flat-12 powered prancing horse so singular, so sublimely unique, to have this Ferrari in anything less than aesthetically prime condition would be the real paradox.
Video: Your Ideal Commute In a Ferrari 458 Italia
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Ferrari 458 Italia Ride Through Canyon Country
IMAGINE if this were your car and your daily, morning commute. Pas mal, non?
But who are you kidding? For even if your ride were a 2012 Ferrari 458 Italia and your commute wound through some sparsely trafficked Californian canyon, you’d likely get jaded. Yes, you’d pine for the easy comfort of something more practical like a Lexus and get to wondering what the weather’s like in Ireland this time of year. The grass is always greener, you know.
