Filed under: Classics , Convertible , Coupe , Performance , Videos , Ferrari , Celebrities , Specialty In the pantheon of 80s pop culture, few cars have such provenance as the Ferrari 308 . Sure, vehicular icons like the DeLorean and Pontiac Trans Am (especially in time machine and KITT guise) made us swoon back in the day, but there’s something about the bright red Italian that makes it stand out; perhaps it is the 308’s performance credibility, at least when compared to other memorable cars of its ilk. Our fondness for Magnum PI’s Ferrari 308 is shared by Oscar Verdugo, who’s featured in the video you’ll see below.

There have already been rumors that the nearly 1,000-horsepower hybrid still needed some finalizing , but it seems really quite odd that we’re seeing cars running with camo six months after the official debut

LaFerrari still being honed at Nürburgring
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.

Filed under: Motorsports , Coupe , Hybrid , Performance , Videos , Ferrari , Racing What could possibly be better than a Ferrari LaFerrari running at full clip on the Italian brand’s Fiorano test track? The answer is obviously two LaFerraris, both doing hot laps. So far as we know, this is the first time we’ve had an unadulterated listen – outside of the car , that is – to the latest Ferrari hypercar when it’s being ran hard.

Autocar reports that Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo recently stated that the Italian automaker hopes to sell fewer than 7,000 units globally in 2013 compared to last year’s tally of 7,318.

Filed under: Motorsports , Videos , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Renault , Racing While every team on the Formula One grid is worried about making a good showing in this year’s championship at the same time as they develop a brand-new car for next year’s championship, Bernie Ecclestone and F1 circuit promoters have a different concern: how next year’s cars will sound. The current cars use 2.4-liter, naturally-aspirated V8s that can reach 18,000 revolutions per minute and employ dual exhaust, next year’s engine formula calls for 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s that are capped at 15,000 rpm and are constrained to a single exhaust outlet. Ecclestone and promoters like Ron Walker believe the new engines sound like lawnmowers and that the less thrilling audio will keep people from coming to races.

Filed under: Concept Cars , Coupe , Performance , Ferrari , Design/Style , Racing James Glickenhaus and his Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus team will have a new model ready for the 2015 Geneva Motor Show . Codenamed the P33, not many details are known about the car, but the post in FerrariChat.com says that it will be much smaller than the Glickenhaus P 4/5 (shown above) with a size closer to the Dino Competizone . The limited available information about the car indicates that the P33 will be crafted from carbon fiber, giving it a 1,600-pound curb weight, with a body that will have a “three-wing design.” Planned as a one-off model, the P33 will be powered by a twin-turbo V6 putting out close to 500 horsepower
