Virtually Brand New 1994 Ferrari 512 TR Spider Could be Yours for Just Under $1 Million

Our previous video find of a mid-1980s Ferrari Testarossa Spider prompted Carscoop reader Felix S. to send us this rare find of a 1994 512 TR Spider (or Spyder) with only 50 kilometers or about 31 miles on the odometer.

The 512 TR was a re-engineered and subtly facelifted version of the original Testarossa that came into the market in 1991 before Ferrari released the final model of the series, the F512M in 1994.

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost Scoops 2012 International Engine of the Year Award

The big winner of the 2012 International Engine of the Year awards is Ford and it's 1.0-liter EcoBoost powerplant, which beat last year's winner, the Fiat 0.9-liter TwinAir, while also achieving the highest score ever with 401 points.

This is the first time that the Blue Oval has won International Engine of the Year in the 13-year history of the awards. And that's not all as the Detroit carmaker's small displacement petrol engine also received two other awards, namely “Best New Engine” and “Best Engine Under 1.0-litre”.

Dean Slavnich, chairman of the International Engine of the Year awards and editor of Engine Technology International magazine, commented:

What a Scene: 140 Ferraris Parked in the Same Garage!

When even a single Ferrari model can get some people excited, you can imagine the feelings of this YouTube poster / fan when he was confronted by not one, not two but some 140 examples of Maranello's finest.

The video was shot at an underground parking lot after the Ferrari cars that were participating in the recent Mille Miglia event stopped for the night in Rome.

Ferrari Filmed Testing What Sounds Like a Turbocharged California

A prototype of the Ferrari California hardtop roadster has been captured on film testing at the automaker's private circuit in Italy.

What makes this video of particular importance is not the lightly camouflaged car itself, but the sounds produced from its front-mounted engine, as it appears to be sporting a turbocharged powerplant.

Highest price for a car at auction just reset to $35 million, for a '62 Ferrari 250 GTO

that is the best investment I've heard of, this car was just bought for 8 million in 2000, and in 1996 for 3.5 million... it's also a instant pass to any car show, race, or billionaires club

This Ferrari Enzo is a Toyota MR2 in Disguise

As one of the rarest Ferrari models of recent times with only 400 units built between 2002 and 2004, the Enzo is a prime candidate for makers of kit cars.

This eBay find is based on a 1992 Toyota MR2 NA, which is said to have been "professionally stretched and reinforced" to a 104-inch long wheelbase to bring its dimensions closer to the original Ferrari.

New Ferrari F70 Prototype Scooped in Maranello?

With the presentation of the Enzo's replacement having being confirmed for the end of 2012 by Ferrari’s Chairman Luca di Montezemolo himself, it's actually surprising that the Italians have managed to keep the supercar under wraps for such a long time.

Today, we got word from one of our readers that a friend of a member of the Ferrarichat community snagged a very interesting prototype driving around the company's headquarters in Maranello, Italy, and which we believe to be the next Enzo that may or may not be called the F70.

Prancing Horse gives Ferrari F458 Italia a Kick in the Fender in China

This video gives a new meaning to horsing around. While driving on a busy road in Shanghai, China, a Ferrari 458 Italia and a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 were forced to slow down and eventually stop after a pair of horses and their riders were backing up on the street.

The two previous fires happened in Germany in November of 2011 and in China this past February.

German tuning firm Wheelsandmore may have chosen to call its latest Ferrari 458 Italia program "Perfetto", which is Italian for perfect, but clearly, Black Widow is a far more appropriate name for its tune. Read more »
