Video: Ferrari California Stars in Gran Turismo 5

Ferrari has released yet another video of the all-new California Coupe-Cabriolet on its dedicated website. However this time, the Ferrari California is shown racing around various locations in the computer animated world of Sony’s Gran Turismo 5 video game. Could this mean that the new California will make an appearance in one of the forthcoming updates of the GT5 Prologue series or even the actual Gran Turismo 5? Hard to say since there’s no official announcement, but we’ll keep you posted on the matter for any future developments. -Video after the jump

Video: Guy Takes a Leak on a Ferrari, Scuderia Fans Get Pissed…

Some kid in Ontario Canada decided to take a leak on a parked Ferrari and while he was at it, his friends though it would be a great idea to capture the whole scene on video. And while booze may at some extent justify their initial actions, there are no words to describe the stupidity in posting the video on the internet for everyone to see. Of course the web is a savage beast and several people caught on to it, including the folks at “Ferrarichat”.

The Ferrari loving chaps uploaded the video on Youtube and began hunting the guy down. It goes without saying that we do not justify the kid’s action. But searching for the guy’s address and calling people to get together and give him a lesson (under the safety of a post) is as equally, if not more idiotic than the act itself… -Video after the jump

Video: Schumacher Takes VIPs for a Spin in F430 Scuderia

Having the chance to perform a few laps on the Fiorano race track with a Ferrari is one thing, but to do it with Michael Schumacher sitting behind the steering wheel of a F430 Scuderia is a once in a lifetime experience. From what we learned, this special event was organized exclusively for VIP Ferrari customers (sources of ours said that the admission price was around €8,000 or $12,500). We must say though that it’s kind of sad to see one of the best drivers in F1’s history downgraded to taking wealthy middle-aged men for joy rides… -Video after the jump

Video: Ferrari California with V8 Symphony

Since we still have some time before Ferrari unleashes a driving video of its all-new California 2+ GT, we decided to download the official teaser clip and garnish it with the scrumptious sounds of its 460Hp 4.3-liter V8 engine. The California, that’s equipped with an electric folding hard top, will make its debut at the Paris motor show in autumn 2008 with first customer cars expected to be delivered in early 2009. –Video after the jump

Video: Ferrari F50 Accident In Malmo, Sweden

According to the poster of this video, a whole bunch of cars were following a convoy of Ferraris as they left from the Malmö Exhibition & Convention Centre in Sweden. At some point for unidentified reasons, the driver of the Ferrari F50 lost control of the Italian supercar and slid off into a ditch. Not that we like having fun with other people’s misfortune or anything, but too bad that the guy in the bimmer who filmed the video didn’t manage to capture the accident as it happened... – See the video after the jump

Video: More Ferrari F430 Scuderia Test Driving

We can’t seem to get enough of the new F430 Scuderia and thank God, there’s plenty of media material circulating around the net these days. In this video, the guys at American car magazine Road & Track put Ferrari Formula One test driver Marc Gene in the driver’s seat and let him take advantage of the sexy Italian supercar. Also, don't neglect to check out our humongous F430 Scuderia wallpaper gallery by clicking here. -Video after the jump

Video: Ferrari F430 Scudera First Test Drive

Here’s the second video of the 2008 Ferrari F430 Scuderia from CarOnline (see the first one by clicking here). “Poor” Ben Barry was forced by Car to be among the world's first journalists to drive the latest Ferrari on the roads around the Italian company's Maranello headquarters. If we guessed right, Barry kinda liked the F430 Scuderia…

Ferrari F430 Scuderia Video: Oh boy...

Sono nell'amore… If you liked our promo film of the 510Hp Ferrari F430 Scuderia that we showed you during the weekend (click here), wait until you get a load of Car Online’s video that gives us an insight of the difficulties that car journalists have to deal with – you know, deafening Italian V8 engine sounds, oversteering a 510Hp strong beast etc.

Ferrari F430 Scuderia Promo Video

We saw Michael Schumacher unveiling the lightweight and more powerful Ferrari F430 Scuderia in Frankfurt (pics and details here), but it’s one thing seeing it parked on a stand and another getting a load of that 510 Hp V8 screeching like a horny bitch on steroids alongside 20 other or so race-prepped F430s in a racetrack. Come to think of it, this is more of a “hard porno video” than a “promo-video”…

Video Update: Ferrari F430 On Fire

Remember back in July, when we posted a set of images featuring a Ferrari F430 going up in flames on the South Luzon Expressway in the Philippines (check it out here if you missed it)? Well, today we discovered that someone not only managed to film the specific Ferrari roaming the Philippine highway before the incident, but he also captured the F430 on tape while it was roasting like a Mexican sausage. To our misfortune, the videographer missed the part when the driver of the F430 sensed that something was terribly wrong pulling to the side of the road.

Not one of the most exciting videos we’ve seen but only the fact that EVO took two iconic supercars from different eras and tested them on public roads is more than enough for us. Open up the sound and enjoy! Via: Motorpasion

2008 Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor Evoluzione

If you know your stuff on Novitec then you’ll have noticed that the magic word here is “Evoluzione” which translates to an addition of 20Hp over the “stock” Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor’s 636Hp. The German tuner managed to raise output to 656Hp by revising the compressor and updating the engine management system. Funny enough, the Evoluzione still retains the same performance figures as the stock version with 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) coming in 3,7 sec while maximum speed continues to stand at 216mph - 348 km/h. Follow the jump for more pics, specs and an intriguing Video showing off a ranting Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor sprinting from 0 to 155 mph (250Km/h).

Video: Actor Eddie Griffin demolishes a Ferrari Enzo during a rehearsal

For the love of God; can someone please stop all these super-cheery, car-ignorant folks from destroying one Enzo after another? This one fell into the hands of actor Eddie Griffin who was caught on tape crashing the 1.2 million USD Ferrari Enzo during a rehearsal for a charity-racing event to promote his movie “Redliners”. Come to think of it, I really doubt that 1.2 million bucks in advertising would have gathered this much -worldwide- attention... Via: Jalopnik

Ferrari F1... inspired Chopper!

What is das? Don’t tell me that Paul Teutul Sr. of OCC suddenly became a Schumacher fan and started drinking Pinot Grigio from bohemian crystal glasses? For the love of bling-bling, we certainly hope not. While we didn’t manage to find out who built this one of a kind chopper which is powered by a 140Hp strong Triumpg 955 engine, we learned that it went on sale on e-bay a couple of months ago for 18.000 USD (14.000 Euros).

Mama mia!: German gets aroused when he takes a Ferrari 599GTB from 0 to 315km/h

Hahaha! Look at that chubby Deutsch fellow go nuts mixing German with Italian phrases when he takes a 620Hp Ferrari 599GTB from standstill to 315km/h (196mph) on a public road. Isn't it hysterical? Well, actually, come to think of it, once you get over the dude and start noticing the needle go bazurk, it doesn't look so funny in the end. Damn, makes you feel jealous doesn’t it...

Magnum PI: Ferrari 308 GTS vs Dodge Challenger

All I can say is just read Tom Selleck's (aka, Magnum) self-dialogue during the chase! "About the time my hart started to pump again, I realised that whoever was on my tale didn't have enough car to catch me so I started worrying about wrecking the Ferrari. I know its crazy but that's what was going through my head. How could I pay for a total 60.000$ Ferrari ? via: Jalopnik
