WISE INVESTMENT:

Now's the time to invest in a Ferrari and for several reasons, all of which make good economic sense. Think about it. The financial world has never settled since the recession.  Stocks go up and down; the real estate market is in a constant state of flux. Europe’s economy has had its fair share of troubles. Yet Art and Ferraris are going only one direction and that’s up.  Ferraris are an international commodity. They're desired from Beverly Hills to Beijing and bought, sold and shipped as such.

 

They're not making any more 328 Ferrari’s while they continue to mine for new gold and diamonds. India, China and Russia, the emerging economies, will add nearly 3 billion consumers to the 1 billion current Ferrari consumer categories (USA-Europe-Japan).  As those economies strengthen there will be an ever increasing demand for older/classic, Ferraris. Modern legislation means there will never be cars that look like the older/classic sculpted Ferraris designed by Pinin Farina.  Ferraris will continue to be great machines, but they will not be the cars built under Enzo Ferrari and designed by Pinin Farina when Ferrari truly was “Ferrari.”  

 

Supply and demand set price. Dino’s are pushing $300k to $400k.  Pinin Farina, the same designer who designed the Dino also designed the Ferrari 328. The Ferrari 328 is the Dino’s successor. In the last several years the once unloved Ferrari 330GT 2+2 has gone from $30k to more than $100k!  Now is the time to buy your quality older/classic Ferrari’s…while they are still affordable. The Ferrari 328 is arguably one of the best looking Ferrari’s of the last 40 years.  

 

HISTORY:

According to the publication Sports Car Market, “In my opinion the 328 is the best built, most reliable Ferrari ever. PERIOD. It is the product of a dozen years of 308 experience. It was solidly constructed with a steel body welded to an oval tube frame. It featured simple Bosch fuel injection, a go/no-go electronic ignition system and an engine you serviced without removing from the car.  Most important, it was the last Ferrari that could be repaired by a good import shop. The following generation of V8 Ferraris evolved into temples to high tech gadgetry. When something goes wrong with one of these technological marvels, you have to truck your car to an authorized Ferrari dealer—they’re the only place that has the computer necessary to fix your car.”

 

I am the 3rd owner of this beautiful Ferrari. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained with all proper paperwork and documentation. The vehicle has only been serviced by a Ferrari Dealer and certified Ferrari mechanics.  

 

This car originated from Ferrari Kessler Auto Group in NYC in 1987. The first owner traded the car to Ferrari Miller Motors of Greenwich, CT in 1994 (Kessler Auto Group left NYC to become Ferrari Miller Motors) with 14,662 miles. The second owner purchased the car from Ferrari Miller Motors in 1994. The third owner (me) purchased the car in 2012 with 31,000 miles.

 

DETAILS:

Exterior is in flawless condition. The car was repainted by the second owner by a highly recommended exotic car auto body shop from Ferrari Miller Motors. Paint shows no scratches, dents, swirls marks or imperfections. You will not find a nicer paint job on a 328 and I consistently get compliments at car shows on how flawless this car looks!

 

Interior is great condition for its age showing some aging and wear. Carpets, dashboard, and roof liner are in pristine condition.  Only flaw is a small quarter inch wear mark in drivers side seat (see photo).

 

Professionally installed Alpine CD/Audio System including 6.5” component speaker system and amplifier.

 

SERVICES:

Full services completed by Ferrari Miller Motor Cars, Greenwich, CT (this car has two major services within its lifetime with the last major service being done less than 3,000 miles ago).

 

16,179 miles the following services were completed:

The vehicle is garage stored and used only on various weekends throughout the summer season after the roads are cleaned from the winter sand/salt. Vehicle comes with all accessories, tools, manuals, covers and service/history documentation.

 

I even have the original window sticker from 1987 and original dealer bill of sale! The Ferrari 328 is the last real Ferrari designed by Pinin Farina and is timeless in design. The 3.2-litre V8 engine is one of Ferrari's most reliably motors with the lowest maintenance costs. If you’re looking for a stunning classic Ferrari that has been well cared for, this is the vehicle for you!

 

According to Ferrari Market Letter Ferrari 328GTS's are going up in value significantly and can only increase as they become rarer. Ferrari 328's are the continuation of the bloodline started with the 246's then evolved into 308's and finally vastly improved 328's. 328's are considered the most reliable and maintenance free of Enzo era Ferrari's.

2015 Ferrari 458 Italia to go turbo?

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Forced induction has definitely hit trend status when it comes to performance cars. Whether it's the supercharged Hellcat V8 in the Dodge Challenger SRT, the latest twin-turbocharged M3/M4 or even the entry-level speed of the Ford Fiesta ST, if you want the fastest car in any given segment, in all likelihood it has a turbo or supercharger. Even Ferrari hasn't avoided the bandwagon with the latest iteration of the California that replaces the original 4.3-liter V8 with a 3.9-liter turbo V8 offering 552 horsepower for more power and better fuel economy. If recent rumors prove true, it might not be the only Prancing Horse to use this engine for long.
According to Car in the UK, Ferrari is planning to boost the 3.9-liter V8 up to around 670 hp and place it in a refreshed 458 Italia in 2015. If true, that is an astounding increase over the version from the latest California and a roughly 70-hp improvement over the current 458 Speciale.
The extra power would come with a serious challenge of how to maintain the 458's delicious exhaust note. Turbocharged engines are often quieter than their naturally aspirated counterparts, modern Formula One cars serving as a prime example. The California may get a pass because it's more of a GT, but the 458 is the brand's bread-and-butter sports car. It needs to sound like a proper Ferrari V8. However, Car claims Maranello is a step ahead and has a complicated exhaust layout - as is the case with the California T, we might add - ready to keep much of the characteristic yelp in tact.

Race Recap: 2014 Russian Grand Prix is like Valencia, but in Russian

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

The Sochi International Street Circuit used to host the Russian Formula One Grand Prix has a few things in common with the Valencia Street Circuit that was used to host the European Grand Prix. Both are built among existing infrastructure used for other events, both contain long, narrow stretches run between concrete walls and chain link fencing, and both are, shall we say, not exactly exciting.
We wouldn't know that after qualifying, though, when Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes AMG Petronas finally put in a mistake-free Saturday to line up first on the grid, ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg in second. Valtteri Bottas got his Williams closer than anyone expected, blistering the first two sectors but falling apart in the third and ending up third on the grid. Behind him, Jenson Button impressed in the McLaren in fourth, Daniil Kvyat even more impressive in the Toro Rosso, taking fifth in front of his home crowd. Kevin Magnussen put the second McLaren in sixth, Daniel Ricciardo was the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing in seventh ahead of a Ferrari duo who knew they'd have a hard time, Fernando Alonso in eighth and Kimi Räikkönen in ninth. Jean-Eric Vergne made sure to keep himself in the news with tenth position.
When the lights went out, the most exciting events of the entire race happened in just sixty meters of the braking zone going into Turn 2.

Celebrating the Ferrari F40 and the man who raced it

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

The Ferrari F40 has become one of the iconic cars of the last 50 years. It presaged the supercars of the future with its extensive use of carbon fiber and turbocharged engine, but it was also old school with no traction control, stability control or even anti-lock supervision to save the driver if they got in over their head. In its latest video, XCar Films takes a look at the F40 through the lens of a man in the UK who specializes in keeping them on the road and occasionally races these quintessential sports cars.
John Pogson has spent his entire life surrounded by engines. His father was a transport manager for a trucking company and he used to accompany him out on repairs. When he was old enough, John started repairing vehicles at a Lancia dealer, and from there, he started working for Ferrari. Eventually, he saved up enough money to open his own, independent Italian car garage. His new business proved successful, and Pogson's customers started asking him to race their Ferraris, including the F40 - something he did with great success. How could you say no to that opportunity?
While Italian cars are his specialty, Pogson also has a soft spot for all performance cars. The video shows him driving his AC Cobra with a claimed 600 horsepower and doing some smoky donuts in it. Scroll down to learn more about the F40 from one of the people that knows it best.
