Ferrari

Ferrari has introduced a new version of its V12 supercar based on the 812 Superfast, which simultaneously sheds a little weight and beefs up output to a maximum 610 kW while revving to a formidable, if not quite Murray T.50 level, 9,500 rpm.

A Ferrari 330 P2 Junior by French coach-builder De La Chapelle sold for the astonishing world-record price of €110,000 (US$133,325) at an RM-Sotheby's auction in Paris on February 13.

Twelve years ago, this Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder became the world’s most expensive car when it sold more than US$10 million. Now the rare open-topped V12 sports car, which was once owned by Hollywood actor James Coburn, is for sale again.

"Weight is the enemy, air resistance the obstacle." Not novel ideas for fast vehicles, but the all-new Aero 3 from Touring Superleggera was developed with a brief featuring that simple phrase bolded at the top. And it very much shows.

Ferrari has built a new home for the 3.8-liter biturbo V8 that's won the last four Engine of the Year awards and counting. The Portofino M is a 620-horsepower evolution on the "entry-level" convertible released back in 2017.

The UK’s Concours of Elegance has always been select on almost every level, though this year it was significantly more so, bringing together just 60 exceptional cars and showcasing them against the traditional exceptional backdrop.

After the first big online-only foray by the biggest automotive auction cluster on Planet Earth, it's clear that automobiles are not particularly suited to online-only auctions, but that significant strides were made in the right direction.

Ferrari has found yet another home for its four-time International Engine of the Year award winning twin-turbo V8, in the new front-engined Roma coupe. But it debuts some design concepts that feel more Aston Martin than prancing horse.

Frank Stephenson has had a dream career in automotive design, bringing cars like BMW X5, Mini Cooper, McLaren P1– and now the Lilium flying car – to life.

It's been 50 years since Ferrari put a V12 in a drop-top, but just listen to the sound it makes on the gas. Hair-raising.

As spring follows winter, as day follows night, so a convertible is sure to follow a good Ferrari. When the F8 Tributo first appeared in March this year, the clock began to tick. Today, it has tocked, and now the F8 series has its own hairdryer: the 710-horsepower F8 Spider.

The Monterey Car Week auctions left the collector car world in a state of shock. Sales totals were expected to be similar to 2018 when 850 cars sold for US$370 million but when the hammer fell for the final time in Monterey, just 770 cars had fetched $245 million – a shortfall of 80 cars and $125 million, or 34 percent down. Here's a car-by-car glance.
