Cantua Creek, California, United States
If you have any questions please email at: paulpnnorkin@winebuffs.net .
An Exceptionally clean and original example of a beautifully rare 12 cylinder Ferrari 456. Completely stock.
Practically Blemish free very close to new in every respect, recent service, new tires and oil change, with
maintenance records of around $4000 from the Ferrari Dealer. Wonderful color combination.
Original paint on the car and even the wheels, only minor touch up on the bumper.
Over 185MPH top speed with automatic transmission, making it a comfortable daily driver as well as a grand tourer.
All options in as new working order. Please do consider that the 97 model has some notable better features than the
later 456, 2 of which are:
a) The 97 model has 2 hood scoops on the left and right on top of the hood, the later models have non, (the scoops
being a more exotic Ferrari-esk agressively designed sports car touch).
b) The second difference is the later cars have plastic trimmings for the console and controls. These plastic items
shrink as a matter of course, the 97 model has aluminum used for these parts which is for most intents and purposes
permanent.
A notable feature of this particular car, is that the factory leather on the dash is soft, supple and un-shrunk,
whereas, 90% of other 456 Ferraris in the market do suffer from leather shrinkage.
Additionally the leather on this car is un-dyed, a rare fete in itself considering the age of this vehicle, and a
testament to the care given to this car, all together making this car an exceptional example.

Ferrari patents new electronic steering assist
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Automobiles keep getting more and more advanced, with computers playing an ever-increasingly vital role in their operation. But some things remain the same. Despite more advanced (if not necessarily better) technologies available, we still burn fossils to fuel our engines, we still check what's behind us in actual mirrors and (with few exceptions) we still turn a steering wheel mechanically connected to the front wheels to change directions. But that doesn't mean automakers aren't working at new solutions.
We've sampled electric steering systems developed by Japanese automakers like Honda and Infiniti that disconnect the front wheels from the steering column, but while those systems may be the way of the future, they leave the driver feeling physically disconnected from the road. Ferrari, however, has a different idea.
Instead of either relying completely on a traditional system or replacing it with an entirely digital one, Ferrari appears to have found a sweet spot in the middle. According to a patent filing obtained by Evo, Ferrari is developing a system that still uses a direct mechanical steering linkage, but enhances it through the use of software that corrects for certain inconsistencies.
Ferrari considering return to Le Mans racing in 2015
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Rumors are swirling that Ferrari may be contemplating a return to Le Mans racing as soon as 2015. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports the Italian automaker may apply the development of a new 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine for Formula One to an LMP1 car for Le Mans, and have it ready for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in two years. This follows hints made by Scuderia Ferrari CEO Stefano Domenicali last month that the newly developed F1 engine could be used for "some interesting projects."
Ferrari has a history of success in Le Mans racing, though it hasn't won the big endurance outright since 1965. The image above captures the exact moment when the No. 21 car of Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt crossed the finish line that year to win the race. That win was the last of six consecutive outright victories before the infamous arrival of the Ford GT40 in 1966. Despite never reaching the top of the podium again, Ferrari's nine wins still stand as the third most overall by a manufacturer behind Porsche (16) and Audi (11).
If Ferrari does return to Le Mans in 2015, the LMP1 class will suddenly be teaming with worthy competitors for Audi, which has dominated the race since 2000. After Peugeot's exit from the sport in early 2012, Toyota entered the race in 2012 and has continued to develop its TS030 Hybrid LMP1 car. Porsche, meanwhile, is well into developing a new LMP1 car that will first compete in next year's race.
LaFerrari 3D model adds depth to Maranello's new supercar
Sat, 06 Apr 2013At its recent Geneva Motor Show unveiling, we couldn't help but spend a good long time gawking at the new LaFerrari supercar. It isn't just that it's the newest top-line Ferrari, or even that it picks up where the Enzo left off - it's just that there's so much to look at, from the ductwork in its long nose to the delicate artistry of its sideview mirrors. There's so much aerodynamic wizardry in play on every surface that you just want to pick it up in your hand and look underneath to take a closer look every which way - even underneath.
Sadly that's not possible, but we may just have the next best thing. Autoblog reader Giorgio has come up with this clever interactive 3D model of the LaFerrari, and we think it's neat enough that you might want to take a look - check it out by scrolling below. And don't forget - we love featuring what our car-crazed readers are up to, whether here or on our Facebook page, so keep those tips coming.
