Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M (2009)

Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M (2009)

 Other exclusive features include a roll-bar with carbon-fibre outer shell and a specific new generation audio system that can be combined with the removable customised Ferrari iPod Touch 16 GB with central dock just in front of the dashboard. The exclusivity of the interior is underscored by the silver "limited series" plaque just above the air vents at the centre of the dashboard. The new car also sports a special plaque on its rear grille commemorating Ferrari's 16th Constructor's World title.

 The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M is available in a choice of two new signature colour schemes: the standard version is black with grey trim, while a tricolour livery is also available as part of the Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation Programme. This truly evocative special series model, of which just 499 unique examples will be produced, is aimed at the most passionate clients, drivers who demand both exclusivity and superb driving pleasure. In fact, the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M is faster round the Fiorano circuit than any other Prancing Horse open-top road car yet built. This new high performance sports car features the very best of Ferrari's latest mid-rear-engined 8-cylinder technology.  Ferrari has chosen to unveil the new Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M at the World Finals in Mugello in celebration of its recent victory in the Formula 1 Constructor's World Championship 2008.

Ferrari 599XX (2010)

Ferrari 599XX (2010)

 A new gearbox shift strategy cuts overall gearchange times to 60 ms. This was achieved both by optimising forms - as in the new crankshaft - and adopting exclusive materials, as in the carbon-fibre used for the intake plenums. Particular attention was also paid to cutting the weight of the engine unit components. These modifications, combined with the fact that internal attrition has been reduced and the maximum revs have been boosted to 9,000 rpm, helped achieve the target power output of 700 hp at 9,000 rpm.

 Ferrari's engineers have carried out extensive work on the engine's combustion chambers and inlet and exhaust tracts.  Ferrari 599XX, while based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano with the same transaxle layout and engine type, is an extreme track car.

 City driving is traditionally where sports cars are most penalised as their engines are designed for maximum efficiency and performance at high revs, whereas the urban cycle involves low revs and low engine loads. One of the principle objectives of the project is ensuring that Ferrari will be in a position to comply with future CO2 emissions standards, particularly in terms of the urban cycle. Thanks to ongoing research combined with experience gained in Formula 1, the new technology developed at Maranello actually accentuates the cars' sporty character and driving involvement.

 The HY-KERS is based on the 599 GTB Fiorano but importantly, the technology may one day be fitted to all future Ferraris, 8- and 12-cylinders alike, regardless of their engine position.  Ferrari at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show gives the public its first glimpse of the HY-KERS vettura laboratorio which can reduce CO2 emissions by 35 per cent on the combined cycle (ECE + EUDC).

"I had always dreamed of designing sports cars," Walson explains, "and when I saw this film the decision came of its own accord: one day I would have 'my' Ferrari."  The Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta's proud new owner, Edward Walson, son of John Walson, the inventor of cable TV, approached Ferrari in 2008 to produce a modern reinterpretation of the gold-coloured car in the film. The car, the second in a new Special Projects programme created by Ferrari to meet requests from the most discerning clients and collectors to create truly unique models, is based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and was inspired by a Carrozzeria Fantuzzi-designed Ferrari built specifically for the 1968 Fellini film, Toby Dammit, itself inspired by one of the tales of Edgar Allan Poe.  The first shake-down has been held at Fiorano of a very special one-off, the Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta, built for an American client.

Just as significant are the technical specifications - 670 hp in a 1495kg car represents a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.23 kg/hp, and ensures a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.35" as well as a top speed of over 335 km/h. The Fiorano lap time provides just one indication of the potential of this car. The Ferrari 599 GTO benefits directly from the technological transfer from racing and set a record lap time at Fiorano in 1'24".

 The Ferrari 599 GTO is reserved for just 599 clients who seek the maximum expression of high-performance driving. In fact the Ferrari 599 GTO is based on the 599XX, the advanced experimental track car, and can be considered almost a road-going version. It is an exclusive limited edition special which, in true Ferrari tradition, is a completely new concept, albeit inspired by a production car. The Ferrari 599 GTO is, in fact, the company's fastest ever road carThe new Ferrari 599 GTO is an extreme V12 berlinetta developed to a specific performance-oriented brief.

Genebra 2011: Murciélago? Não! Eu sou Aventador!

Este é o Aventador (oficial), o sucessor do Murciélago.

Huh! Design bem exótico.

O carro parece ser mais futurista que o irmão Reventón.


Este é o "tal" motor LP700-4
Existe um seleto grupo de carros que conseguem impressionar até quando estão parados. Este clã acaba de ganhar um novo membro, ele se chama Aventador LP700-4, que parece ter sido concebido para superar a Gallardo (the baby Lamborghini) em todos os quesitos.

Equipado com um motor 6.5 V12 de quase 700 cv, o Aventador tem um torque máximo de espantosos 70,40 mkgf. Os dados de desempenho comprovam o poder da nova máquina da Lamborghini: a aceleração de 0 a 100 km/h leva apenas 3 segundos e a velocidade máxima é de 350 km/h.

O LP700-4 pesa 1.575 quilos, em parte graças ao cockpit com estrutura feita de um polímero reforçado com fibra de carbono. Outro componente que merece destaque é a transmissão de sete velocidades, que garante trocas de marcha em apenas 50 milissegundos.

Como a aparência também conta pontos valiosos, a Lamborghini caprichou na hora de projetar seu novo touro. A dianteira lembra muito o conceito Reventón, com formas que remetem aos caças. Os faróis tem formato triangular e, na lateral, as vistosas tomadas de ar garantem a refrigeração do motor. Visto de trás, o Aventador impressiona pelas quatro ponteiras de escape agrupadas em uma única peça e também pelas lanternas com elementos em forma de um “Y” deitado.

O interior se destaca pela grande quantidade de comandos agrupados no console central. A cabine pode receber acabamento em dois tons, com couro Alcantara revestindo os bancos tipo concha e os painéis das portas. Os primeiros felizardos vão receber seus carros entre o fim do primeiro semestre e o início do segundo semestre. Na Europa, o Aventador tem um preço sugerido de 255 mil euros.

Genebra 2011: FF, A Ferrari polêmica

Faróis da FF lembram a do esportivo 458 Italia.

“Se a Porsche lançou um SUV, nós também temos o direito de inovar”. Provavelmente foi este o pensamento da Ferrari ao desenvolver a FF (Ferrari Four), carro-conceito que deve causar polêmica no Salão de Genebra (do dia 3 a 13 de março).

O carro surpreende pela configuração um tanto esquisito entre os modelos da Ferrari. Trata-se de um cupê de quatro lugares, mas com formas que lembram um hatchback (ou até mesmo um crossover, SUV). Na Europa, esta configuração é chamada de shooting brake.

A -FF- foi desenhada pelo estúdio Pininfarina (muito conhecido em carros Ferrari) e herdou traços de outros veículos da marca, como a 458 Italia (faróis quase que idênticos). O carro é o primeiro equipado com tração integral nas quatro rodas, batizada de 4RM (pronúncia-se FourRáiMi, ou Four Rai Me). Segundo a empresa de Maranello, os engenheiros italianos projetaram a FF, que significa Ferrari Four, de modo a ter uma distribuição de peso praticamente ideal, com 53% do peso total sobre o eixo dianteiro.

O veículo é equipado com um motor 6.2 com injeção direta de combustível, que entrega 660 cv a quase 8000 rpm. De acordo com a Ferrari, a FF acelera de 0 a 100 km/h em quase 4 segundos. A velocidade máxima não foi divulgada pela Ferrari. O conceito conta ainda com a transmissão sequencial de sete velocidades, com trocas por meio de borboletas e tecnologia vinda das pistas de Formula 1.
