SUPER RARE FERRARI 456 V12 WITH MANUAL SIX SPEED GEARBOX! WHAT'S A FRONT-ENGINED V12 SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR WORTH COMPARED TO AN AUTOMATIC / PADDLE SHIFT CAR? WELL ACCORDING TO THE MARKET THIS PAST WEEK....A LOT! A 599 WITH A SIX SPEED MANUAL (yes it is slower 0-60) JUST SOLD FOR FOUR TIMES THE VALUE OF REGULAR 599!!! $680,000! (SEE PHOTO BELOW) Ferrari does not make a manual transmission car anymore and has not made a manual transmission V12 car for years now. While the 550 has a manual....they all have manual gearboxes so a 550 with stick is not rare. On the other hand most 456 Ferraris are automatic. The market on rare stick shift front engined V12 Ferrari is only going to go up. The 456 is a front engine, rear transaxle, Daytona-inspired supercar and an important car in the history of Ferrari. (It even has Daytona hood scoops and a rear end that is reminiscent of the legendary Daytona.) This may be the prettiest 456 out there as it features arguably the best color combination. Everyone who sees the car, passersby, other motorists, etc., comments on how beautiful the color is. Monaco blue over a royal / navy blue interior (Blu 4307, I believe). Even the headliner in this car is leather! As are the door panels, front and rear seats, dash, etc. This was Ferraris top of the line / most expensive car and it shows. This is a very rare manual six speed transmission Ferrari 456. It's believed just 317 manual transmission 456 Ferraris were imported to the United States. Compared to today's mass produced Ferraris, the 456 was produced in very limited numbers and hand built. Ferrari no longer offers a front engined V12 with a classic manual shifting shift gate. The 456/550 were the last models made by Ferrari that offered a stick in any real numbers and collectors agree these cars will be and are presently appreciating in value. This Ferrari was specially ordered with an extremely rare and beautiful Monaco metallic blue exterior and a matching blue interior. This Ferrari looks like a show car and is absolutely stunning. Ferrari experts and journalists compare the 456 to the classic Daytona, both in performance and styling proportions. The 456 with its classic Ferrari shift gate is actually faster than the Daytona, it also rides comfortably and was made for high speed cruising. Yet when you get in the car it magically shrinks around you and feels like luxurious sports car, even more so than the 550. (The 456 is only a tad longer than the 550 yet has usable backseats and a good sized trunk. I believe the slightly shorter nose of the 456 makes it an easier car to maneuver.) The 456 is considered a work of art while the car that came after it, the 612, is regarded as dis-proportioned. This Ferrari just underwent a major service approximately (less than) 300 miles ago. It received new timing belts, cam seals, fuel filter, air filters, oil change, spark plugs, thermostat, catalyst ECU and a rebuilt water pump. The new owner should now have years of driving pleasure ahead! In addition, new tires have been fitted to the OEM Ferrari wheels. Also included is a set of $6,500 high performance and super lightweight 19" HRE 3-piece wheels with Pirelli tires. The seats were just treated with Maguire's leather conditioner. The nose of the car is protected by the so an "invisible bra", the clear paint protection film.

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.

The SP275 RW Competizione is the latest one-off from Ferrari

Mon, Dec 5 2016

They say money can't buy happiness, but I disagree. I'd be very happy if I had enough cash to have Ferrari's Special Projects team build me a bespoke variant of any one of its current crop of cars. The group's latest creation, the SP275 RW Competizione you see here, was shown for the first time at the year-ending Finali Mondiali event at Daytona International Speedway. Details are scarce, but the 275SP appears to be based on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta in either standard or TdF guise. (The F12 TdF debuted at last year's Finali Mondiali.) Based on design elements like the louvers behind the wheels, it seems likely that the new model started as a TdF. That means special touches like a front-mid-mounted 769-horsepower V12 and rear-wheel steering. It also means a 0–60 mph time of 2.9 seconds. It's difficult to say how much the 275SP weighs, though the F12 TdF is about 240 pounds lighter than the standard F12 Berlinetta. Looks are subjective, so you'll have to decide for yourself whether the new styling queues, like a redesigned front fascia, hood, doors, and glass, are an improvement. It's unlikely you'll find this particular shade of gold on another Ferrari. To my eyes, it looks like the Solarbeam Yellow hue that's available on the Mercedes-AMG GT for $9,900. The takeaway should be that if you have the means, Ferrari Special projects will build whatever you want. Look to the F12 TRS or the F12 SP America for more examples. Money may not buy happiness directly, but it will sure as hell buy you a nice Ferrari.
