Philipp Plein Ferrari
A while back I posted this exact Ferrari Testarossa on my instagram account. At the time the store was under construction and I wasn’t able to go in to get a closer look at the white 80s supercar. I was wondering by the same corner today and looked in to see the car still in the store. It was! This time it had a leopard print wrap on it. I went inside to check it out further. The guy working in the Philipp Plein store said he didn’t mind if I just took a couple pictures. I asked about the car. It doesn’t have the engine, due to city regulations,…

Vintage Ferrari 250 GTO sells for $70 MILLION
39 Produced. Crazy rare beyond that. They only produced the 250 GTO from 1962-1964. They rarely come up for sale. So when the CEO of Weathertech saw this 1963 model up for sale, he decided it was time to part with $70 million USD. Here we have the most expensive car ever.

Ferrari’s 70th Anniversary Party in New York City
This past weekend Ferrari drove their 70 Anniversary party into New York City. They put up a few displays around the city for a handful of cars each. One included cars going up for auction at Sotheby’s on York ave and anther smack -dab in the middle of Rockefeller Center, where the Christmas tree stand every year. This specific display included cars from each decade. I was really hoping to see the fabled and much lauded F40. I’ve never seen one in person. I later found out there was one at the Sotheby’s location. I’ve not seen a Testarossa in years. I don’t think it’s aged well in the context…

Can we discuss Ferrari model names?
A car name can become an important part of the legacy for the model. Using letters and numbers instead of names has long been a pet peeve of mine. For some manufacturers I don’t see this as a problem. The more expensive the car, the more it needs a name. My parents had a 85′ Nissan 300ZX. Yawn. At the time I was aware of other more exciting car model names: Corvette, Mustang, Camero, Countach, etc. Ferrari used to be good with their car names: Testarossa, F40, Enzo! Which leads us to Ferrari. Today’s Ferraris: The 812 Superfast Always discovering new driving emotions. #Ferrari #812Superfast A post shared…
