North York, Ontario, Canada

This gorgeous CBL Ferrari Testarossa Spyder is one of only few powertop convertibles in the world making it the ultimate in rare exotics. CBL conversions were the most innovatively engineered and most expensive conversions ever performed on the Testarossa. Other companies used inferior manual tops and vinyl rear windows. The car is equipped with factory original single-spline knockoff alloy wheels and a power convertible top/targa with glass rear power window. The 4.9L, 12-cylinder engine puts out 390 HP and plenty of torque. The car has been well-maintained and has already had its out-of-car major engine and tranny service completed ($26,000). This car was the world's fastest production car in 1988 at 181 mph (290 km/h). Going through the gears in this car is truly music to the ears and a real pleasure to drive. This is a very rare opportunity to own a highly-desirable legend. Intresting trades considered, Countach, Dodge daytonas, Hemi cars, etc.

Please ask questions prior to  bidding.

The Windsor Castle Concours d'Elegance in pictures, courtesy of Bentley

Sat, 15 Sep 2012

Bentley went to the Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance as the main sponsor and showed off six of its best among the gathering of "60 of the finest motor cars in the world," including the 4¼-liter Bentley 'Embiricos' Special built for a Greek shipping magnate and gentleman racer in the 1930s.
Even better, for us at least, is that when Bentley decided to capture the moment it took pictures of most of the metal on the lawn, not just the Bentleys. Thanks to that, we have a high-res gallery that's home to rarities like the Vauxhall 30-98 Type OE Boattail Wensum Tourer, beauties like the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, long-tail Ford GT40, Maserati Tipo 60 Birdcage, Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato, a sinister Ferrari 250 GTO and the even more sinister Rolls-Royce Phantom Aerodynamic Coupe, among others. All you need to do now is click and enjoy.

Xcar goes analog with the Ferrari F40

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

We will forever be in love with the Ferrari F40. From its blunt-force appearance to its 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine living and breathing perilously close to the driver's head, the F40, the last model designed and built with input from Enzo Ferrari himself, has been and likely always will be the Ferrari of Ferraris for automotive enthusiasts who grew up in the 1980s.
All of this raises an interesting question: is the Ferrari F40 the best supercar of all time? A case can certainly be made, and after watching - and, just as importantly, listening to - all 17 minutes of blood-red Italian glory from Xcar, you're going to have to try long and hard to convince us that anything could be sweeter than this particular Prancing Horse.
Watch the video above, aptly titled Analogue Animal. You owe it to yourself. So go ahead, sit back, turn up your speakers and click play.

Ferrari 458 Italia becomes most expensive prize ever on Price Is Right

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

In case you haven't been paying attention, it's "Big Money Week" on the long-running The Price Is Right televised game show. In a nutshell, it means that more than a million dollars in cash and prizes are up for grabs for those lucky enough to "come on down," play some games and correctly guess product retail prices.
Moments after opening the show Thursday, host Drew Carey broke the unexpected news. "Today you are going to see the single-most-expensive prize in the history of the daytime Price is Right," he boasted before the curtains were pulled back to review a brand-new Ferrari 458 Italia Spider.
To win the car, the contestant had to play "Three Strikes" - blindly pulling numbers out of a bag and putting them in the correct price sequence before grabbing three dreaded red strikes. As expected, your typical The Price Is Right contestant is about as familiar with today's retail Ferrari pricing as they are with fractional jet ownership. We won't spoil the fun of whether or not a lucky contestant gets to drive the $285,716 exotic home (and pay a midsize sedan's worth of taxes), but feel free to speed ahead to about the three-minute mark on the video below to watch the reveal.
