One of 2 twin-turbo conversions on F355 Challenge cars performed by Ferrari-authorized dealer on a factory built 1997 355 Challenge car. Conversion done in 2007 at a cost of $32,000. Mileage is approx. 15,000 and change. This car has a 6 speed manual transmission.

Currently set up at 500 RWHP for maximum reliability, 600 RWHP is available with minimum fuss. I believe max boost is 700 RWHP. I have kept it at 500 rwhp (low boost) for extreme reliability. Body, engine and transmission in excellent shape. As any Ferrari fan knows, the 355 engines are bulletproof if well maintained, and this car has always been maintained by the Ferrari dealer. Receipts available.

Extremely reliable, much easier to drive fast than a 360 or 430 Challenge (I sold my 360CH to buy this), and faster than both those cars. I have used this as a trackday car only, as has the previous owner (before turbo installation). Has custom ECU programming, uprated injectors, custom twin intercoolers, electronically adjustable shocks, etc. Everything was hand fabricated to make this an extremely fast yet great-handling car. Major service done in 2008, and car has been in storage since.

Paint and body are in excellent condition except for the lower front spoiler lip which has some stone chips. Body is straight with no accidents. Full roll cage, passenger seat, fire extinguisher plumbed in. Rear wing. Set up for 2-way radio and has videocam mount. Everything works as it should. Car has a custom “large man” seat for me, but original racing seat can be re-installed. Has passenger seat. Both have 6 point harnesses.

The car is a joy to drive. Incredible grip but very forgiving at the limit. Faster than any 360/430/F40 or anything else I’ve been on track with. This is a car you wear, not a car you sit in.

Back injury forces sale. I thought I’d recover and keep using this wonderful car, but the docs say different. The car is stored at Classic Coach in Elizabeth, N.J and may be viewed/inspected there by appointment. Kindly contact me if you wish to view or inspect the car.

Car is not street-legal, and is sold on a Bill of Sale.

Buyer may pick up the car, or I will assist with shipping. Buyer pays all shipping charges.

1954 Ferrari 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe named Best In Show at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

For the first time in the event's 64-year history, the prestigious Best In Show honor at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance has been awarded to a Ferrari. The 1954 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe seen here is owned by car collector Jon Shirley of Medina, WA, and as it turns out, has quite a rich history.
Nevermind the fact that it's currently one of five road-going 375 MMs - this example was ordered by film director Roberto Rossellini, and was actually born as a Pininfarina-bodied competition Spyder. Following an accident, the car's original body wasn't able to be saved, but the chassis was sent to Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena for replacement, and the finished product became the company's first passenger car design for Ferrari.
Following its tenure with Rossellini, the car was owned by Mario Savona of Palermo, and later Charles Robert of Paris. Years later, the car was restored by its current owner in 1995, after being found in an underground garage in a Paris suburb.

Ferrari to launch new model every year, keep production limited

Tue, 06 May 2014

You've no doubt perused the big news coming out of Fiat-Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI today. But at the end of the brand discussions, Sergio Marchionne spoke briefly about an incredibly important, low-volume part of the Fiat-Chrysler empire: Ferrari.
"You do need one of these cars in your driveway," Marchionne joked. And while other brand heads today lined out detailed plans for future product, Sergio's words about Ferrari's next five years were very simple, and very vague.
Marchionne confirmed that Ferrari will launch a new car every year between now and 2018. The cars will have a four-year lifecycle, after which, "M" versions will be produced, with a separate four-year cadence. No specific models were mentioned during Marchionne's presentation.

Ferrari LaFerrari is so nice, we say it twice [w/poll]

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Forget about the F70, the F150 and the F150th Italia - this is the Ferrari LaFerrari. Earlier this morning we got our first official look at the successor to the Enzo throne, but now we bring you live shots of the LaFerrari straight from the Geneva Motor Show floor.
There is nothing about this car that isn't impressive - from its 949-horsepower hybrid powertrain returning breakneck acceleration to the aggressively curvaceous body creating a new evolution of design for the storied automaker. The best part of the LaFerrari's design is that there is no single focal point, but one of the more interesting elements of the car is its canopy-like cover protecting the occupants. Every detail of the car has been perfectly sculpted into the carbon fiber body creating an appearance that is probably only outdone by the car's overall performance, which Ferrari promises will include a top speed more than 217 miles per hour and a 0-62 mph time of under three seconds. Ferrari says the LaFerrari will be its fastest street car ever.
While it's hard to make criticisms about of the LaFerrari, there will undoubtedly be many regarding the car's name, but with a design and performance numbers like this, we're sure this car could've been called the Ferrari LaBradoodle and all 499 examples of the hybrid supercar would've been snatched up just the same. After checking out the details posted in a press release below, let us know if you think the Ferrari LaFerrari is a worthy successor to past Maranello supercars like the F40, F50 and Enzo.
