Let’s say you have more money than God and way back you saw an old Italian movie that had a sexy car in it. The movie was by Fellini and the car, as near as anyone can tell, was a special by Fantuzzi, and/or originally installed on a racing chassis. [Read more…] about From the Golden Ferrari 599 Aperta

A commentary on the Ferrari 599 GTB , introduced in 2007, and its subsequent versions.
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
When Ferrari sought to design a new front-engined car to replace the 575M Maranello, they wanted to have one that would be a comfortable grand tourer, and yet incorporate what they call “cutting edge downforce “figures, i.e. stay glued to the ground.

I remember visiting a guy in Newport Beach about 20 years ago who was a Can-Am racer who had just bought a Ferrari 250GT Lusso.

In Dino Brunori’s article about Le Mitiche a Bassano, Johnny Lurani was credited with first calling the Touring bodied 166 Ferrari a ‘barchetta.’
We were incorrect. But every cloud has its silver lining, however, and in this case it was an email from Karl Ludvigsen who wanted to set the record straight and has further allowed us to publish the below article, which came from his book,

Mr. Wyss wrote this for us some time ago but it still passes muster even with the revelations of the new book “Rebel Rebel”. And a nice way to introduce one to the subject of the incredible Ferrari Breadvan. Ed.
By Wallace Alfred Wyss
Yes, there are Ferrari racers with a sense of humor. The Ferrari 250GT ‘Breadvan’ is a result of one such owner’s sense of humor. It was based on a 1961 competition 250 GT SWB modified by Ing. Giotto Bizzarrini.
