Early 80's Mark Goyette and Partner Neil Glassmoyer developed a Company named Modena, and this is the "Prototype" number #01 build Modena (out of Five) that was built by Mark Goyette to scale to exact measurements and dimensions and features of a 1961 Ferrari GT 250 Spider- They started with Commissioning Bob Webb of Indy car fame (his Chassis are World Famous) The Front suspension has a upper A-arm and a lower control arm that is connected to torsion bar. The rear suspension consist of a Ford solid axle with torsion bars as the springing medium, four links for longitundinal location, and a panhard rod for lateral location. The centerpiece of this piece of art is the Steel - tubing two-by-three inch mild steel frame Bob Webb built Roger Penske race cars. On the skid pad this car generated a very respectable 0.79G! The second of owner of this car commissioned Smeding performance engines to build him a small block with the inners of a 427! Pumping out over 550HP- this car is not for the faint of heart, along with competion clutch and five speed transmission and straight handbuilt headers into side pipes this thing is a beast. The car has over $500,000 into manufacturing and production- This is the very car that John Hughes saw and picked for the Movie Ferris Bueller! It has been in several magazines and pictures are seen throughout the World in Movie Banners.


  Modena design was sued after the Movie Ferris Bueller aired by Ferrari Motorcars and a cease and desist order was issued and the production was halted! Five cars were built by Mark Goyette the other 30 or so were sold as kits.

LaFerrari XX may have lapped N?rburgring in 6:35

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Enthusiasts around the world - ourselves included - have been anxiously awaiting the ultimate supercar showdown. After all, we seldom see three of the world's preeminent exotic automakers come out with such closely matched machinery in such close proximity as we have with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari. That showdown could occur on no better a playing field than the Nürburgring, but the automakers haven't exactly been playing ball.
Porsche set down a lap time of 6:57, staking its claim as the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the vaunted Nordschleife. Rather than challenge Zuffenhausen head-on, though, McLaren has only said that the P1 has clocked a time of under seven minutes, and though Ferrari has been testing the new LaFerrari at the Ring, it hasn't released any official time at all. Maranello may, however, be preparing to announce an even faster time.
According to word we're receiving from across the pond, Ferrari has clocked a lap time of 6:35 - only it wasn't achieved in the road-going LaFerrari, but in the upcoming track-bound LaFerrari XX. That model, which was just confirmed and spied last week, will follow in the footsteps of the Enzo-based FXX and the 599XX, which itself recorded a lap time of 6:58 in 2010. Because it's not street-legal, it didn't contend for the same honors, and within a couple of months was pipped on the leaderboard for non-street-legal vehicles by the Pagani Zonda R by over ten seconds.

Scuderia Ferrari dreams up the F1 car of the future

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Formula One is in for a big shakeup, at least if all the parties can agree on a way forward at a meeting of the F1 commission today in Geneva. And this is the way Ferrari apparently hopes things will go. Dreamt up by the design department in Maranello, this concept represents Ferrari's vision for the F1 car of the future. Its got far more streamlined aerodynamics, a two-tier front wing, a much larger rear wing, and wheels that are still "open" but far more enveloped than anything we've seen to date, wrapped in low-profile tires like those proposed by Pirelli. The cockpit is still open as well, contrary to proposals to enclose them, with a conceptual helmet design that seems to meld into the bodywork – though we're not quite sure how that would be implemented, practically speaking. It's a pretty striking design, especially compared to the oddball shapes to which modern grand prix racers have evolved over recent years, with all their fragile appendages. Actually putting this into practice, though, is another matter entirely. Both McLaren and Red Bull were said to have shown their own evolutionary designs to the F1 strategy group, though they didn't release theirs to the public. This pie-in-the-sky proposal from Ferrari looks a bit closer to some of the radical, futuristic designs penned by Red Bull for Gran Turismo.

FIA president and former Ferrari boss Jean Todt named UN special envoy

Thu, Apr 30 2015

Jean Todt, the 69-year-old former Scuderia Ferrari boss, Ferrari CEO and current FIA president has been named the United Nation's special envoy for road safety. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment Wednesday in Paris. Citing the 1.3 million people killed and the 50 million people injured each year on the world's roads, the UN is appointing Todt to mobilize "sustained political commitment towards road safety." Beyond that, the Frenchman will work towards raising awareness of the UN's "road safety legal instruments." "The road safety challenge is too often ignored, but road injuries are the number one killer of young people aged 15 to 29. That being the case, it deserves much more attention on the global political agenda," Todt said in the attached statement. "This appointment will bring greater visibility to efforts to tackle this health and development crisis, as well as new leadership and renewed momentum." Meanwhile, the FIA also confirmed Todt and 44 other delegates in Nepal to attend the organization's Asia-Pacific Sport Regional Congress in Kathmandu were safe after the country was struck by a devastating earthquake last week.
