Ferrari 458 Scuderia to be unveiled in Frankfurt?

Filed under: Frankfurt Motor Show , Motorsports , Coupe , Performance , Ferrari , Rumormill , Racing We’re heavy on the speculative side with this, but Auto Express is saying that “Rumours of Ferrari 458 Scuderia emerge, with possible debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.” To be clear, that’s the possible debut of a car that is still only a rumor, and we’re not sure it will be called “Scuderia,” either – remember, the track-day 360 was the Challenge Stradale. Admittedly, the rumor of its existence is strong and there is plenty of precedent: Ferrari has introduced some model or variant of its mid-engined V8 sports car at the last three Frankfurt Motor Shows.

Fernando Alonso gives German TV interview driving Ferrari F12 at the Nordschleife

Filed under: Motorsports , Coupe , Performance , Europe , Videos , Ferrari , Celebrities , Luxury Fernando Alonso gave a wide-ranging interview to German television station RTL, the Spanish driver and German interviewer conducting the session in Italian, driving a special Italian car on very special German track. Among many answers – from the industriousness of his native Ovideo, Spain to where he relaxes – Alonso gives Ferrari an eight out of ten for the season, admitting they don’t have the fastest car but they have a complete car, and refuses to give himself a number, only saying that he is more complete as well than when he first entered. Beyond the normal-guy persona and wealth of topics, the 10-minute interview is neat for being able to watch Alonso hurl the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta over and around kerbs while he’s answering questions

Filed under: Motorsports , Europe , Infiniti , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Racing , McLaren Just like at Silverstone last weekend , the German Formula One Grand Prix started with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole. The only thing missing at the pointy end of the grid was his teammate Nico Rosberg , who lined up beside him in England but back in 11th in Germany because of a team error in qualifying.

Ferrari California replica from Ferris Bueller is so choice

Filed under: Classics , Auctions , Ferrari , TV/Movies We like car auctions well enough, but often the high-end affairs are a bit too much like outdoor museums – very beautiful and very cold, and you’re not allowed to touch anything. A perfect case in point is the upcoming Mecum auction during the 2013 Pebble Beach weekend, which will feature the legendary replica Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder used in none other than Ferris Bueller’s Day Off . Only three were made.

24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair

Filed under: Motorsports , Europe , Aston Martin , Audi , Chevrolet , Nissan , Porsche , Ferrari , Racing There was little usual about this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans – intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn’t get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted.

We’re at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven’t been able to find out what caused the accident – the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there’s been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win

Petrolicious is back again with another well-done video, which finally introduces us to Schubert as well as his lust-worthy Ferrari.

Recap: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix is Catalan for ‘Lottery’ and ‘More pit stops’

Filed under: Motorsports , Europe , Infiniti , Lotus , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , McLaren This year’s Formula One season might qualify as being just as crazy as last year’s, only it’s a different kind of crazy. Instead of a new winner every Sunday, how the winner actually manages to take the victory is the mystery, and just when we thought the season might have settled into a groove regarding team performance, here comes the Spanish Grand Prix to remind us that we don’t know anything until the race has been run. There were many similarities to past weekends to being this one: Mercedes -AMG Petronas showed awesome one-lap pace, Fernando Alonso did well enough in qualifying to get fifth on the grid but talked up the race pace of the Ferrari , Kimi R

Of course, that’s assuming your name also happens to be John Lennon and you’ve just helped record Ticket to Ride with the rest of your Beatles cronies. When news of Lennon getting a driver’s license made the newspapers in England, luxury car makers parked outside his mansion with offerings and this is the one he chose, painted Azzuro Blue with a blue interior.

Ferrari looking to become even more exclusive

Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing

There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa , a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs. There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker

Why Italians are no longer buying supercars

Filed under: Performance , Europe , Government/Legal , Lamborghini , Maserati , Earnings/Financials , Ferrari , Luxury Italy is the wound that continues to drain blood from the body financial of Italian supercar and sports car makers. The wound was opened by the country’s various financial police who decided to get serious about superyacht-owning and supercar-driving tax cheats a few years ago, by noting their registrations and checking their incomes. When it was found that a rather high percentage of exotic toy owners had claimed a rather low annual income – certain business owners were found to be declaring less income than their employees – the owners began dumping their cars and prospective buyers declined to buy
