McLaren v. Ferrari v. Porsche
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: McLaren MP4-12C v Ferrari 458 Italia v Porsche (997) 911 Turbo MK2
ADMITTEDLY, this video’s quality is only fair. But reader, when I saw this tri-colore spectacle of fresh exotica positioned at a checkered line- particularly the minty McLaren MP4-12C and the Ferrari 458 Italia – I had to know which one would best the lot. Unfortunately, we only kinda find out as who arrived in third is anyone’s guess. Though, if I could guess…
Video: Funny Exotic Car Rental Advertisement
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Midway Car Rental LA
DAMN near soiled me-self when I saw this ad for Midway Car Rental – an LA-based exotic car rental agency. Aside from the most excellent production values, comic timing, and pop-culture refs (olympic rings, Charlieee…that really hurt!) the ad’s message is as straightforward as you can get – no matter how far down the chum list you are, cool cars get you serious entree (at least in SoCal). We demand a sequel!

Pulling Away From A Lambo In A Ferrari 458
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Ferrari 458 Italia v. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggra
AS super-legal road races go, dropping the hammer on the Ferrari 458 Italia against the F430′s raging nemesis – the Lamborghini Gallardo (in Superleggra) has to be a thrill. Not that this thrill always translates well to camera, but in this video the shooters and editor have done a good enough job for YouTube standards. Needless to say, the 458 armed with the latest arsenal in Ferrari engineering and technology pulls briskly away from Gallardo on multiple tries. The bull is left merely to rage in the 458′s dust.
This Week @ Coys: 1952 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupe By Ghia
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img via Coys ::: 1958 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupe by Ghia
WHEN we think of Ferraris we think of that iconic rosso corsa finish painted on low, ass-engined super cars with intolerably low ground clearances and a flair for turning heads with high octane sex appeal. What doesn’t race to mind is the understated – if a little too anonymous- contours of the 1958 212 Inter Coupé.
Someone In The UK WOULD Buy A Maroon Ferrari 458
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Maroon Ferrari 458
I could do a linguistic double play on the color maroon and the thought processes behind the owner’s purchasing decision where it pertains to the color of this Ferrari 458 Italia, but the fact is even in maroon, the 458 looks damn good.
But really? Maroon? There is always chrome.
Legal Parallels? Ford F150 Leans On Ferrari 458
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Ferrari 458 Meets Ford F150
YOU may have heard about Ford briefly sued Ferrari for trademark infringement over Ferrari’s plans to call their next formula car “F150.” As if anyone would confuse an F1 car with an F-Series pickup. Ferrari has said that it will rename the car just to keep the peace with the big Blue Oval.
Anyway, this video has no literal connection to said legal feud. But in metaphorical terms, I think you’ll agree the visuals speak volumes.

Now Everybody Wants $1.23 Million For A Ferrari Enzo
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img via eBay ::: Ferrari Enzo price
IF you ask the San Franciscan dealer that’s selling this rosso corsa on nero Ferrari Enzo just what it is that they all do, they’ll tell you: “Performance. It’s What We Do.” And schlocking an ’03 Enzo with 3,000 miles for $1.230 million is certainly one way to perform. Unlike Porsche’s former halo, the (magnificent) Carrera GT, it seems that the former Ferrari flagship actually appreciates with age. Like a fine bordeaux of appropriate vintage. The Enzo when new was $670,000, so, if the Californian dealer’s price seems like a fleecing, consider it a bargain. There’s a New York dealer that will sell you an ’03 rosso corsa on nero Ferrari Enzo with 3K for $1.235 million.

Ferrari Had An Awesome 2010. Just Great. Thanks For Asking
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img Ferrari ::: 2010 Ferrari California sales
ACCORDING to Ferrari press relations 2010 was the best sales year for Ferrari since, well, ever. And why shouldn’t we believe them? Thanks to the 2010 California (pronounced Kalee-for-nyah) and 458 Italia, North American sales blossomed like wild primrose over 2009 figures by 20%. That’s a tally of 1,750 cars snapped up by us Yanks and Canucks. Elsewhere in the world, we mustn’t forget the Chinese who are buying up prancing horses while they can before those SOBs in Beijing start a war over Formosa.
