Filed under: Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , Ferrari , Fiat If the history of an automaker is divided up by the mandate of its leadership, then this is surely the end of an era for Ferrari . After repeatedly locking horns with Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne over a variety of issues, longtime Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo has announced his resignation.

Oh, and Lewis Hamilton regained his pole-grabbing form. That’s how the Mercedes AMG Petronas man found himself at the head of the grid for the Italian Grand Prix, ahead of his teammate Rosberg by a quarter of a second.

Filed under: Spy Photos , Coupe , Performance , Ferrari , Design/Style While it’s still absolutely beautiful and a performance marvel ( especially in Speciale trim ), the Ferrari 458 Italia has to keep up with the rapidly evolving world in supercars if it wants to continue its success. Ferrari seems to know that it can’t sit back and relax, because we’re now seeing a disguised 458 testing for the second time . Since we first saw it, rumor has emerged that it updated 458, reportedly called 458 M, may follow the lead of the recently revised California by using its turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 engine.

Ferrari to offer 458 examples of new Speciale Spider
Filed under: Classics , Convertible , Performance , Auctions , Ferrari During the weekend’s automotive smorgasbord in Pebble Beach , Ferrari has played a huge roll. Twenty examples of the ultra-rare 250 TR , better known as the Testa Rossa, were prominently on display at the Concours d’Elegance, and the Prancing Horses have been top sellers at many of the auctions . You can chalk up one more on that list with a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider with a scarce, optional hardtop included going for $15.18 million at Gooding & Company’s sale on Saturday night.

Filed under: Motorsports , Infiniti , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , UK , Racing , McLaren Qualifying for the British Formula One Grand Prix was just as much a surprise for fans as it was for teams. Certain team weather radar displays didn’t accurately pinpoint storm systems over the track, and in the case of at least two teams, the lack of data was compounded by poor decision making. That’s how both Ferraris and both Williams got kicked out of qualifying in Q3 – the drivers already on track took advantage of a dry spell between rains, but Ferrari and Williams waited too long to get back out, and by the time they did it had started raining again.

Filed under: Motorsports , Ferrari , Racing Ferrari CEO Luca di Montezemolo said of the 2014 Formula One season, “It’s time to win.” This is the chassis that’s meant to do it, and it is also Exhibit C in this wild, function-over-form F1 pre-season: the Ferrari F14 T. The low, trunk-like snout is another imagining of the year’s regulations, after the probing proboscides found on the McLaren and in the image of the coming Williams . The public name of the chassis internally called 665 was chosen by Ferrari’s social media fans, F14 T referring to the brand, the year and the turbocharged powerplant, not the McDonnell-Douglas F14 Tomcat.

After the Mercedes W196 grand prix racer that set the world record this past July at nearly $30 million, the list of eight-figure sales is populated almost entirely by Ferraris: a 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder for $27.5 million, the pair of ’57 Testa Rossas that sold separately a few years ago for $17 and $13 million apiece, the 250 LM recently went for over $14 million and the 250 GT SWB California Spider that sold in 2008 for $11 million.

That’s especially true when the cars in question are of the fastest or most exclusive variety. If new reports are to be believed, Maranello has already sold the entire 499-unit production run of its new LaFerrari hypercar, and now Australia’s Motoring is claiming that Ferrari has also filled its order book for the entire first year’s production run of its new 458 Speciale .
