Ferrari F355 Challenge Twin-turbo Race Car on 2040-cars
Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States
|
This is a factory-built 1997 F355 Challenge car with 15,000 miles. It was run in the Challenge series for 2 years until being replaced by the 360 Challenge. I bought this car in 2006 from the previous owner (and good friend) after selling my own 360 Challenge whose handling I did not like. I then spent over $30,000 on conversion to a twin turbo engine. The conversion was performed by a Ferrari factory authorized facility in Elizabeth, N.J. 2 new Garrett turbos, 2 custom made intercoolers,custom piping and wiring all handmade, uprated injectors, fuel pumps and a remapped ecu give this car 500 RWHP in it's current setup. Up to 600 RWHP easily achievable, but I wanted it to remain highly reliable and run on pump gas. Full roll cage, fire extinguishing system and communications wiring. Internal and external ignition shutoff. The 355 is a much more forgiving car to drive very fast than the 360 or 430, and with the extra horsepower it is faster than both. I have used this car for trackdays only since it's completion, and it has been in storage at the Ferrari faciliy since 2009. Due to back injuries I sustained in 2008 I can no longer race cars, so this beauty is for sale. Body is clean with no dents, never been in an accident to my (and the previous owner's) knowledge. Paint is excellent and interior is clean. No rust anywhere. Large file of service records (this car was fanatically maintained). Very rare, very fast, very easy to drive. Replacing this car would cost well in excess of $100,000 today. Please do not bid if you have zero feedback or more than 5% negative feedback. Please no tire-kickers or dreamers. Car is not street legal so it can not be taken for test drives. Viewing and PPI may be done by appointment at Classic Coach Ferrari in Elizabeth, NJ. Contact me to arrange an appointment. Vehicle is sold on a Bill of Sale. This car is not road-legal so it has no title in NY. |

Two weeks and 2,000 miles in Ferrari's FF with Evo
Mon, 28 Jan 2013EVO's Harry Metcalfe had some questions about the day-to-day livability of the Ferrari FF. When he brought those questions up to Ferrari, they suggested he take one for a couple of weeks and try it out for, as he calls them, "mundane duties." The image above is Metcalfe pointing to the 660-horsepower, all-wheel drive FF parked in one of his fields because, since he lives on a farm, mucking about the green is part of his daily routine. "It could use more ground clearance," he says, "but that's an option on this car."
He does get it on the "tarmac" and he likes it even more there than in the mud. Except for the buttons on the steering wheel; he thinks learning to use them is like learning to play guitar. He has a lot more to say besides that, and you can watch him expound for all of 17 minutes in the video below.
Fiat gives outgoing Ferrari chairman $35M severance package
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Luca di Montezemolo may not have wanted to leave Ferrari this way, but don't feel too bad for the departing chairman, because he'll be hitting the ground with a golden parachute so big that he'll never have to work again.
According to the latest reports, Fiat will pay Montezemolo 26.95 million euros (nearly $35 million) in severance pay. A little more than half of that will be paid in a lump sum of 13.71 million euros ($17.7M, equivalent to five times his annual salary) on January 31, 2015, with the rest to be paid within the next 20 years.
The payment is contingent on Montezemolo not going to work for a competitor, so don't expect to see him replacing Stephan Winkelmann at Lamborghini or Wolfgang Dürheimer at Bugatti any time soon. At least not until March 2017. Of course with that much cash on hand, the 67-year-old marquis need never work again, but considering how busy he's used to keeping himself, we'd be surprised if he didn't pop up again somewhere.
Race Recap: 2014 German Grand Prix is relapse and recovery
Mon, 21 Jul 2014The 2014 German Formula 1 Grand Prix is the hump-day race in the season and the penultimate chance for drivers and teams to rack up points before the summer break. Trying to stay on top after his first DNF of the year at the British Grand Prix, Mercedes AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg didn't have to wait until the race for misfortune to find Lewis Hamilton; his British teammate crashed out of the Q2 qualifying session due to a brake failure, then had to change his gearbox due of the crash, a calamity that left him starting 20th on the grid.
Rosberg took pole ahead of the Williams duo of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, with Kevin Magnussen surprising everyone with a fourth place in his McLaren. Daniel Ricciardo put the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing in fifth, ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari pilot Fernando Alonso, Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat, the Force India pair of Nico Hülkenberg and Sergio Perez finishing the top ten.
In a replay of events in Britain but with a German accent, a first-lap incident brought out the Safety Car and the same Brazilian was taken out of the race.
