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.

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.

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.

Did you know that Ferrari built a Spider version of its mid-1980's Testarossa? The Italian automaker commissioned Pininfarina to design and build a single convertible version of the sharp looking supercar as a gift to the late Gianni Agnelli, head of Fiat at the time. Read more »
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.
Fearing that the horses may hit their vehicles, the drivers of the two Italian exotic supercars decided to make use of their horns...

A red Ferrari FF in Poland has joined the ranks of self-immolating supercars from Maranello. To be more precise, this is actually the third documented case of an FF going up in flames since Ferrari's first all-wheel drive model touched down on the Italian firm's dealerships about a year ago.
The two previous fires happened in Germany in November of 2011 and in China this past February.

Ferrari sure took its time to bring up Eric Clapton's coachbuilt SP12 EC, but today, more than two months after we first laid eyes on the car through a set of pictures and a video shot at a London dealership, the Italians come out to tell us that the one-off exotic will be featured in the latest issue of the Ferrari Magazine.

If you want to know about the scary part, then you should take a look at what happened during the 2012 Ferrari Racing Days this past weekend. While tackling the corkscrew, one of the drivers came in way faster than he should of and the 458 Challenge just continued on straight. Due to the car's momentum, the gravel and tires did not stop the Italian racer, which was flung into the air like a toy before it landed on its roof. A very scary incident indeed. 
There is a reason why many consider the notorious corkscrew at the Laguna Seca raceway both fantastic and scary at the same time.
A horrific accident that took place in Singapore this past Saturday leaving three people dead and two seriously injured has fueled an outrage in the country.
The crash was captured on film by a vehicle that was not involved in the incident. The video footage shows a blue Hyundai Sonata taxicab pulling ahead a couple of seconds after the green light goes on.
As the taxi reaches the middle of the crossing, we see a speeding red car, later recognized as a rare Sg$1.8 million (US$1.43 million) Ferrari 599 GTO, smashing into the blue sedan. The Ferrari most likely ran a red light. According to reports, the taxi then hit a motorcyclist.

Brought to you by the creative minds behind the amazing pedal-powered Ferdinand 911 GT3 R from 2010, the new “FAHRRADI Farfalla FFX” is yet another attempt to redefine the bicycle-exotic sports car segment.
The team says that unlike the Ferdinand 911 GT3 R that cloned an existing car, their new pedal-powered model represents the "future top model of an actually existing automobile brand", or in other words, Ferrari.
"The external form of the vehicle is the result of Internet research into various real and fictive design ideas about what this vehicle could look like, but also our own ideas of design and, not least of all, a substantial portion of clairvoyance," the team explains on their website.
This is the video tale of a good son who gave his dad the ultimate birthday gift for any gearhead: a Ferrari 360!
We are not entirely sure if Nick DePalo from Florida actually bought the exotic supercar or if he rented / borrowed it from someone (maybe our Italian speaking readers can help with the translation), but his father sure enjoyed the ride.
"My dad has always dreamed about driving the Ferrari, so for his birthday gift; we got him one," says DePalo on his YouTube channel. "When he took a seat in the car, he thought we got him some type of Total Gym/Bow Flex!"
Head past the break to watch the videos.

The relentless slaughtering of exotic Italian sports cars continues with a fairly new Ferrari 458 Italia that fell victim to the perfect storm: some careless driving mixed with rain and a roundabout. The accident took place in the city of Świdnica in southwestern Poland on Thursday night.
The local media reported that the owner of the 458 Italia was fined 200 złoty (€48 or US$63) for reckless driving, which is a drop in the ocean for the damages that the €300,000 (US$400,000) sports car sustained from the crash.

Just about every Ferrari model from the 1980s and 1990s has seen a replica equivalent based on General Motors' God-sent present to the industry, the mid-engined Pontiac Fiero, and the exotic F50 is no exception.
Today's eBay find comes from Scottsdale, Arizona, with the Fiero chassis draped in a fiberglass body that mimics the styling but not the dimensions of Ferrari's range-topping sports car that was introduced in 1995 to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary.

While our previous Ferrari-related accident of day, which took place in Germany, was caused by the love/respect of a man for animals/life, this incident involving a California hardtop roadster in Tokyo, Japan, is most likely the result of some careless driving.
The driver of the Ferrari California reportedly lost control of the car and smashed into a Lincoln Town Car limousine that was parked on the side of the road.
The crash was violent enough to push the white Town car into the rear end of the black limousine of the same brand parked right in front of it.

Ferrari GTO, AC Cobra and Duesenberg are just some of the historic cars that made the trip to Amelia Island in Florida last month to participate in the 17th annual Concours d'Elegance. But for Justin Lapriore, who filmed this video, the event was mostly about the Gran Turismo Omologato.
"I spent the weekend of March 11th chasing Ferrari 250 GTOs around Amelia Island FL at the Concours d'Elegance. This is what came of it. It seems like a good fit for the website," Justin told us in an email.
We'll agree Justin and we'd like to believe that our readers will enjoy it as well. You can watch the short film in the video that follows right after the jump.

By now, we know all there is to know about Ferrari’s latest V12 supercar, the F12berlinetta. So don't worry, this isn't yet another post about the fastest Prancing Horse's stats. Ferrari has already released an official video showing the F12berlinetta driven in anger and doing politically incorrect things such as going sideways.
But since you can never have too much of a good thing, we thought we'd share with you another video made by YouTube user Marchettino who filmed a thinly camouflaged F12berlinetta doing the rounds on the track.
You can watch, and more importantly, hear the wonderful sounds of Ferrari's 730hp-strong V12 in the video that follows after the jump.

One of the many perks of working for a large magazine like Motor Trend is that you have the opportunity to perform trips and projects that most people can only dream of – like travelling from Munich, Germany to Maranello, Italy, in a Corvette ZR1, and while in the land of supercars, hop in a brand-new Ferrari 458 Italia for quick ride.
If you follow the break, you can watch MT's Editor at Large Angus MacKenzie and British racecar driver Justin Bell, take the ZR1 up to 200mph (321km/h) on the Autobahn before hitting the Stelvio Pass and driving the 458 Italia in its homeland.

Here's an update on our previous story on the one-of-a-kind Ferrari SP12 that was spotted at HR Owen showroom in London on Wednesday night.
YouTube user Shmee150, not only took some video footage from the presentation last night, but he was also able to hand the camera to someone inside the dealership today and film the car up close as it was leaving to be delivered to its new owner, who is rumored to be none other than Eric Clapton.
While we still don't have any official information on the car, Shmee150's inside man at HR Owen gave some details about the vehicle in the video description. Among other things, the insider says that the coachbuilt Ferrari is based on the 458 Italia and retains its V8 engine despite rumors about a V12.
It’s always a good idea to stay far, far away from a crowd of frantic people, be you on foot or in your car. Even more so, if you're driving an exotic ride like a Ferrari F430 Spider.
This incident allegedly occurred in Brazil during a local (?) carnival. While driving on the street, the owner of the Prancing Horse supercar was suddenly surrounded by a mob of frantic kids and teens running around with foam sprays, which of course, they used on the Ferrari…
If you watch the clip until the end, you'll see a wiser driver of a white Porsche Panamera making a hasty U-turn to avoid the foamy fate of the F430 Spider. Video follows right after the break.
The crew over at Japan's Car Nifty sent us this video of the new 2012 Ferrari 599XX Evolution performing its first runs on the track at Suzuka following the racing car's world premiere at the Bologna Motor Show last December.
The debut took place during the first event of the Ferrari Racing Days that groups together the races for the entrants in the Asia-Pacific series of the Ferrari Challenge Tofeo Pirelli and the track sessions for clients involved in the 599XX and F1 programmes.
