0-60 in less than 4 seconds, 460 horsepower 4.3L V8 and a 7-speed dual clutch tranny. Did we mention the engine is in the front of this new Ferrari? This Ferrari is a bit more plushy than the normal. Laced with some extra luxury accents and luxury features this new Ferrari is still able to push you up to 193mph. You still get the best of both worlds in a hard top convertible that retracts in about 14 seconds. Time for another Ferris Bueller!… OH YEA!!!
Enjoy the images and video after the jump!
A Bad Case of Scuderia: Ferrari F430 Scuderia

The infatuation of a car is something usually present in the automotive enthusiast only. Because only an automotive enthusiast or race car driver could actually appreciate what the Ferrari F430 Scuderia has to offer, it goes un-wanted among who sip the foam of your café-latté drink in your plush, big cup holder luxury car. You may ask, what does it have to offer. Well, a lot less than the normal F430… well… actually, performance wise… it is a LOT more! You see, when Ferrari sets out to make a “racing version” of any of its cars, they really do it. They strip out carpet, radio equipment and any other plushy amenity that your lady would think to find in a Ferrari.

That’s one Hot Ferrari – Ferrari Is On Fire!

It always draws attention when you seen a “high-end” car go up in flames. Well, here is another one that bites the dust. Or should we say ASHES?
Not sure who you would really feel bad for in the situation of a car that coasts well into six figures. I really do not feel sorry for anyone, well maybe the car because it never really had a fair chance. But cars do not have souls do they?
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano shown in this HOT image was being driven by a guy who did not even own the car. It was actually his Bosses car whom asked him to drive it to the repair shop. Simply put, the driver heard a noise and then the car started a fire, a big fire. No one was injured during the incident except the car, obviously.
Below is a video of a Lamborghini Gallardo burning to a crisp… another exotic car that is just too hot to touch. Talking about a big warranty claim here.

In our interesting world we have those who choose to drive one of the finest cars in the world. We have those choose to make an attempt to replicate one of the finest car brands in the world. Ever seen those old Pontiac Fiero’s with a Ferrari kit on it… usually a red car that looks like plastic? HA, yes, I am sure you have seen them running around sounding like a poor-mans Chevy with a 4-cyl engine. Well, it seems the pot is being stirred again with people making replicas of Ferrari’s from the form of Pontiacs, Toyotas, and others. Above is the video clip from cnn.com demonstrating what is happening now.
Enjoy and feel free to post your comments. Myself and my staff check the comments daily and want to hear from you!
Top 12 Worst Gas-Guzzling Cars

With gas prices reaching ALL-TIME highs and yet another raise of the prices to a national average of about $3.40 over this weekend, you may wonder why and how some people ride around in gas guzzlers. Well, simply put, they can not only afford the car payment but they can actually afford to drive them (afford the gas).
Next time you see kids looking out of the window at an SUV barreling down the highway going about 90mph, just imaging him or her saying “daddy, they are rich”. You ask why the kid would say something like this? Well, if you can drive that fast in an SUV then you must have a good cash flow to pay for the $4-a-gallon gas that you are burning up ever-so-fast.
Here is a list of CARS to stay away from (for now while gas prices are high) because of the horrendous amount of gasoline that it consumes. But then-again, if you can afford some of these cars then you probably are not too worried about the price of gas YET.
