Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari 599 GTB Street Racing

June 8, 2008

If you’re contemplating taking your Veyron out to school the little boys in their 599’s, you best know what the repercussions might be. We know a situation such as this might be, and most likely will be MUCH different if you are in the states, However in the UK, you’d be looking at 3 points on your record and a fine that’s a mere droplet compared to what you paid for the car at £60 (about $120.)

We have two blokes to thank for these numbers, that were out for a little fun in Hampshire, UK. Attention was obviously brought to the two supercars stretching their legs, and a pursuit ensued. The BMW police car got up to 140mph chasing the two, when the Veyron decided to pull over, while the 599 kept going, and ultimately got away.

The New Ferrari IMAX Movie

May 23, 2008

The IMAX production team are hard at work on a new masterpiece, Causing all the 2008 movies that I’m waiting impatiently to see, to be bumped down a notch. To bad I will need to wait until 2009 and fly to Abu Dhabi to see it.

Ferrari has released  these three images of a helicopter whizzing over Fiorano. In CarFront’s opinion, taking in the sweetest sights ever to hit the IMAX lens.

The NEw 2009 Ferrari is here

May 15, 2008

Named after the state governed by a action-movie-hero and which some say should be its own country, the Ferrari California was just unveiled by it’s makers in Italy this afternoon. The car not only features styling unlike any recent Ferarri before it, but also a V8 motor making 454hp at 7,900 rpm.

A retractable hard top is going to be used unlike the traditional canvas tops on the F430 and 360’s. A 0-60 time under 4-seconds, seven speed dual-clutch transmission, ceramic brakes, and the “F1-Trac” traction control program (from the 599 GTB) all point to this vehicle being a strict sports car in traditional Ferrari fashion rather than a grand tourer.
