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 , 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

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

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

Filed under: Motorsports , Coupe , Performance , Europe , Videos , Ferrari , Luxury Air Malta recently worked up a little stunt that pitted an Airbus A320 against a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta in a drag race to raise funds for charity. It’s easy to forget just how quick something the size of a jetliner can be, but watching the video below shows us just where the big passenger aircraft stands when it comes to sprinting down a runway

As you may recall, the lead driver lost control of his machine, pin balling into those following behind and doing some $4 million in damage in the process

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Geneva Motor Show , Europe , Technology , Ferrari , Luxury The successor the Ferrari Enzo has officially bowed. Ferrari pulled the sheets back on the oddly named LaFerrari at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show , calling the machine the “maximum expression” of what defines the automaker. In this case, that includes a 6.3-liter V12 engine with 789 horsepower married to a 160-hp electric motor.
