This is an exceptional 1985 FERRARI Mondial Quattrovavole Cabriolet.
A very late model production of the rarest version of the Mondial with only 629 hand built units produced. It holds
the distinction of being the only four seat, mid-rear engine, convertible automobile ever manufactured in regular
production. The engine is mounted behind the passenger compartment, moving the weight distribution rearward and
closer to the drive axle. That's a boon from an acceleration standpoint and getting the power down, but it's also
about cornering. With the weight concentrated around the middle of the car, it makes it very nimble and reduces
overall mass, and with the engine closer to the transmission and rear drive wheels it quickens response time. The
driver sits up front, closer to the front tires, shortening steering inputs. It's all about deploying power in the
most efficient way and with style. The engine just sings as it revs to 7700 RPMs and the exhaust tone is all the
music you need while shifting smoothly through the gated gears. It is a constant head turner and photo opts for all
to drool. Last Fall it was an entrant in the Scarsdale Concours d'Elgance and it has been accepted as an entrant in
the 2016 Ramapo Concours d'Elegance.
Wearing just 48,900 miles the car has been properly driven and maintained with regular use, thus not just sitting
around all these years or a barn find requiring extensive mechanical and other restoration. I drive it on the
weekends but do not drive it in rain or snow. It is very clean and detailed as well as mechanically sound. It is
kept covered on a lift in a heated garage. It has not been modified and includes the original wheels with the same
style Michelin TRX tires, the original unused spare wheel and tire, the factory keys, original owner’s manual and
books with the original leather case, the original tools and tool case, the original window sticker, the original
black tonneau cover, radio, etc. I have its service and repair history from new. The front seats have recently been
refurbished with its Ferrari Connolly Saddle tan leather upholstery to like new condition and the rest of the
interior trim, dashboard (no cracks or blemishes) and carpets are is in very good condition showing a little patina
on the door panels, console and rear seats. No odors or signs of interior water leaks. All the windows, mirrors and
lenses are good and clear. Everything functions properly on the car. The body and frame are straight and the Rosso
Corsa paint is very nice with some scratches and 2 minor dings which come with wear. The front spoiler has some
chips. There is no rust. The black canvas convertible top has a 5" tear that has been professionally stitched
closed, near the right side rear corner of the top by the back window panel. Otherwise the top and its rear window
are in good shape as is the top's boot cover and the tonneau cover. I always drive the car with the top down so the
tear doesn't bother me. The car was delivered in Philadelphia and has spent most of its life in southern NY.
Records show I am the fourth owner. Clean Carfax and title.
I have gone over the car and replaced and serviced everything I thought it needed. The key major service on this
vehicle was recently done as were the following components that have been replaced and serviced within the last
couple years or so and last 1000 miles or so:
Ferrari Timing belts, A/C belt, Alternator belt, Water pump belt, both Timing belt tensioner roller bearings, Water
pump tensioner roller pulley, motor oil and Baldwin filter change, transaxle and clutch gear oil change, O2 sensor,
spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel injection tuning adjustment, K&N air filter cartridge installed, air injection check
valve, wiper blades, A/C Freon and oil change- blows ice cold.
Other components recently replaced include: new battery, brake pads, rebuild of the original radiator with new
hoses installed and antifreeze fluid flush/change including bleeding the cooling system and pressure testing it,
all fuel lines checked, all window motors checked and mechanisms lubed, replaced sticking ignition switch, fuel
pump, hi-torque starter motor, rear TRX tires and have an extra set of TRX tires for front when needed, front coil
springs, alignment checked, transmission oil sump pan gasket, motor oil sump pan gasket (no oil leaks), oil
pressure switch, shifter seals, lubed all cables.
At 32,000 miles a new Ferrari complete clutch, pressure plate, bearing, seals, clutch cylinder and valve were
installed. Also a few years ago the fuse panel was refurbished with an updated Ferrari panel using the new blade
style fuses and the electrical was rewired. Additionally the warm up regulator was replaced.
As you can see most every concern has been addressed on this vehicle and it has now been trouble free. I am a true
car guy and defects bother me. I am meticulous with the detailing. . This is a very nicepractical classic Ferrari
with impressive handling and performance as well as that quintessential Ferrari motor sound track. It is the least
fragile Ferrari you can own and an excellent value with continuing appreciation (20% increases since the beginning
of the year).

LaFerrari XX to pack 1,050 hp

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

With 949 horsepower on tap, it would be hard to imagine Ferrari getting much more juice out of the 6.3-liter V12 hybrid powering its LaFerrari. But apparently, it's possible, as reports suggest that the forthcoming LaFerrari XX will pack somewhere closer to 1,050 hp.
This according to Top Gear, which reports that the successor to the Enzo-based FXX and the subsequent 599XX will be revealed next month in Abu Dhabi at the company's year-end Finale Mondiali extravaganza - the same event where, in years past, Ferrari has presented such extreme machines as the 458 Challenge Evoluzione, the aforementioned 599XX and the FXX Evoluzione.
When the subject of a LaFerrari XX first came up several months ago, Antonello Coletta - head of the department responsible for the XX program - said he couldn't picture the track version of the company's flagship hybrid hypercar being much faster or more powerful than the existing version. But where there's a will, there's a way. TG reports that the extra hundred horses have been corralled in the V12 and not in the electric motor, which will reportedly carry over essentially unchanged from the road-going model.

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.

Is the $1.4M LaFerrari sold out?

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

If you look at the stratospheric sticker prices on the latest generation of hypercars and wonder how an automaker could possibly justify it, bear in mind a few factoids. For one thing, even when the sticker prices start lower, they quickly balloon past the million-dollar mark. For another, automakers charge that much because they can, and don't seem to have much trouble selling them all.
Case in point: the new LaFerrari. While presenting the state-of-the-art supercar on CNBC, Ferrari North America CEO Marco Mattiacci revealed that all 499 examples that will be made of the hybrid hypercar - including those 120 earmarked for North America - have already been spoken for. This despite the $1.4 million asking price that makes it the most expensive Ferrari ever made.
Or the most expensive new Ferrari, we should say, because prices for the most collectable machines ever to roll out the gates at Maranello continue to rise. Figure you'll save a little and get LaFerrari's predecessor? Trading hands these days at prices approaching $2 million (around three times its original $660k MSRP), the Enzo is even more expensive. And that's just the scarlet tip of the iceberg.
