Ferrari announces record sales in 2008
Posted by admin on Feb 14, 2009
Much has been made of the economic turmoil and the impact its had on the auto industry. Ferrari, however, is one car company that has managed to avoid the hit. The Italian automaker sold a total of 6,587 units in 2008. This represents a 2% increase over their total in 2007. The North American market is still the largest for Ferrari with 1,700 units being sold in that market alone. Elsewhere sales went up especially in Eastern Europe (23%), the Middle East (12%) and Africa (12%). The company’s total revenues totaled almost $2.5 billion dollars in 2008. This is a 15% increase in revenue from 2007 and a big reason for the jump are the sales of the 430 Scuderia, 612 Scaglietti and the 599 GTB Fiorano.

It takes a special kind of confidence to modify a new Ferrari. After all, who wants to mess with what many people regard as perfection. However, Imola Racing, a member of the DIMEX Group of Wiesbaden, Germany, specializes in doing exactly that. We’ve got some photos (but unfortunately, not many details) of the latest tuned Ferrari to roll out of Imola Racing’s garages in Germany. This widebody 612 Scaglietti sports a full body kit, monster wheels and a unique paint job.

Ferrari Concept 2008 inspired by the F430
Posted by admin on Dec 20, 2008
Ferrari appears to be a source of inspiration for a number of up-and-coming young designers with the likes of Idries Omar, Emre Husmen and now Luca Serafini all using the Italian exotics as inspiration for some of their best works. The latest design, dubbed the Ferrari Concept 2008, is based on the F430 supercar and shows a possible design direction for the next-gen model. Drawing on inspiration from both past and present Ferrari models, Serafini wanted something that could stand on its own but would always be recognized as a Ferrari. Serafini next plan is to create a one-quarter scale model of the car and hopefully present it at design competitions in Italy’s automotive design hub, Turin. One of Serafini’s most popular previous works includes the Lamborghini Embolado concept, a compact supercar loosely based on the Gallardo with a unique cab forward design and plenty of aggression.
