Recent reports said that the Ferrari California will be offered with two different transmissions. Now, an alleged leaked document states that the company will offer a six-speed manual transmission in addition to the standard seven-speed dual wet clutch semi-automatic.

With the manual transmission, performance may indeed be reduced, but it may satisfy a 10% demand by customers for a stick shift. And with the six-speed manual, the car accelerates from zero to a hundred kilometers per hour in 4.2 seconds, at least 0.3 seconds slower than the DCT provides. Additionally, fuel consumption is increased with the manual gear box. The DCT provides a 17.9 mpg-US (13.1 liters/100km) rating, 11% better than…

Felipe Massa has been lucky to have piloted one of the 8 newest Ferrari 599XXs in Valencia, along with seven other buyers of the car.

The Ferrari 599XX concept was previously debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009. Based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, the concept model had an engine made with lighter parts, while being enhanced from a performance perspective. The car also uses a composite body, carbon-ceramic brakes, and carbon-fiber and aluminum all over.

The 12-cylinder engine of the 599XX produces 700 PS (510 kW; 690 hp), with a redline of around 9,000 rpm.  Aerodynamics was further improved to provide 630 kg of downforce when speeding around the track…

Ferrari has just unveiled its formula one car for this year. And it’s only befitting to call it the F10. The car has been revealed at a lunch held at the famous team’s Maranello factory.

However, the latest F1 car from Ferrari has not been taken for test drive by the team’s star driver Felipe Massa due to extreme icy conditions at the local Fiorano test track. If it will not make the Friday teat run, it is expected to be sent to Valencia for the beginning of the official tests on Monday.

The F10 shares its front end with last year’s Red Bull car. Other than what seems to be a…

The highly-anticipated F430 replacement, the 458 Italia, will be priced from £169,545 in the UK. With that starting price the Ferrari 458 Italia slips in between the California (£143,325) and the 599 Fiorano (£207,075).

Of course, you can still up the ante with many other options including the steering wheel mounted-LEDs (£2794), an alcantara trunk lining (£1445), electric seats (£2120), and a spare wheel (£1156). Add all that, and the 458 Italia will be joining the 612 Scaglietti which costs £217,230.

As you may recall, the 458 Italia uses a new direct-injected 4.5-liter V8 engine with 570 CV (at 9000 rpm) and 540 Nm of torque (at 6000 rpm, with over 80%…

New information about the Ferrari Enzo replacement has been released.

According to the new details, the new Ferrari F70 Enzo is to be smaller, lighter and faster than the Enzo.

The Ferrari 599XX is a ridiculously powerful supercar that does not even make mention of any hybrid technology. Despite the Italian car manufacturer confirmation that the Ferrari 599XX is indeed a track car producing 700 horsepower there are still rumors that the car’s development is geared towards a road-going version of the 599XX which comes with the kinetic energy recovery system being used by the Ferrari Formula 1 racing cars.

Hybrid or not, the Ferrari 599XX is expected to be a recipient of Ferrari’s bid to improve the car’s efficiency through the use of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials. The Ferrari 599XX prototype already makes extensive use of this composite…
