Filed under: Motorsports , Ferrari , Toys/Games With all the excitement over Forza Motorsport 5 and Gran Turismo 6 , it’s easy to forget that there’s another racing game from an even older franchise coming out. The latest Need For Speed installment, Rivals , is set to hit stores November 15 (this Friday) for the Playstation 4 , November 19 for PS3 and XBox 360 , and November 22 for the XBox One . As part of the run up to the launch, we have a great look at all the new Ferrari content for the new title, which marks only the second time the Italian marque has been in an NFS game.

Ferrari makes its return to Need For Speed: Rivals in a big way

Filed under: Classics , Coupe , Videos , Ferrari , Racing Tax The Rich , the YouTube channel that exists mainly to terrorize ultra-rare, ultra-expensive cars like the Jaguar XJ220 , Ferrari Enzo and Rolls-Royce Phantom , has come out with its first video in two months, starring one of the rarest Ferraris of the past 40 years – the 288 GTO . Now, by Tax The Rich standards, its treatment of the 288 is better than what the Enzo or the Rolls (especially) got in their videos. The most cringe-worthy parts are in the very beginning, before transitioning to actual roads (yes, we know the 288 was originally meant as a Group B rally car, but that makes zipping about on grass and dirt in a very rare Ferrari no less difficult to watch)

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Ferrari You remember that batch of patent drawings we brought you a couple of weeks ago showing an unspecified Ferrari coupe?

Filed under: Motorsports , Japan , Infiniti , Lotus , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Racing , McLaren Japan’s Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn’t usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and “What just happened there?!” moments, and this year it was no different. It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year.

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Europe , Ferrari , Design/Style , Luxury The FF is quite a departure for Ferrari – it’s the company’s first hatchback and all-wheel-drive vehicle – so it isn’t surprising that it rubs some people the wrong way, even if the car itself is very good. Well, judging from these patent drawings of what looks like a FF coupe filed with the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), Ferrari has plans to build one. We’re not sure if Ferrari is planning a production run, however, and it’s very possible this is a one-off special being built for a very rich customer, a la Eric Clapton and his 458 Italia .

Filed under: Motorsports , Coupe , Performance , Videos , Chevrolet , Porsche , Ferrari According to the crew at Motor Trend , we should think of the video below “as an addendum to Best Driver’s Car,” a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn’t able to take part in the magazine’s official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta . And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the ‘Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver’s Car-winning 911.

Filed under: Motorsports , Plants/Manufacturing , Ferrari Ferrari is not a company used to being behind the curve, but if you’ve been wondering how the Scuderia has lost so much territory on the Formula One circuit to a relative newcomer like Red Bull , part of the answer could come down to its wind tunnel. Seriously, the wind tunnel? Yes, the wind tunnel.
