Classic Driver has taken the Jensen FF and Ferrari FF to St Moritz to see what forty years of car development means for two 4WD Supercars.

Reports this weekend say that the replacement for the Ferrari 599 GTB – the Ferrari F620 – will debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Back in November we published spy photos of the replacement for the Ferrari 599, out testing in Italy in a pile of padded camouflage, and suggested it would be the Ferrari F620 (or [...]
If the performance of the Ferrari FF with 650bhp isn’t enough for you, how about a bio-ethanol (E85) conversion with 875bhp? Despite Ferrari anoraks claiming the Ferrari FF isn’t a real Ferrari, we think it’s stunning. With a glorious V12 producing 650bhp, 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, room for four – and their luggage – and a go-anywhere [...]
The Ferrari FF broke the mould for Ferrari in 2011, with what many consider to be a betrayal of the marque. But it was the most watched video of 2011 on Cars UK. It seems the Ferrari FF – successor to the 612 Scaglietti – is something of a Marmite car. Ferrari anoraks everywhere came out [...]

Ferrari has been there since the beginning of F1, which makes Silverstone 2011 the 60th anniversary of Formula One, and to celebrate Ferrari is to release a limited edition model – the [...]
Ferrari has had a play with the track-only 599xx, added more power and improved aerodynamics and created the ultimate 599 – the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione. There are road Ferraris and there are track Ferraris. And the Ferrari 599XX carries on the tradition of hard-core track-only cars for wealthy clients (like the FXX) where ultimate performance is achieved by ignoring homologation rules for [...]
It seems Ferrari are planning an elite club of VIP Ferrari owners who will get the chance to buy limited edition Ferraris first. When Ferrari has a special car – like an Enzo or the new Aperta – there are never going to be enough cars to satisfy the list of potential customers. Which is [...]

The replacement for the Ferrari 599 has been spied out testing. Expected to sport over 700bhp, it is likely to be the Ferrari F620. Or perhaps the F600? The replacement for the Ferrari 599 has been spied testing in Italy, complete with enough clothing for an Arctic jaunt. But what is it to be called. Is it the Ferrari F620? Or could it [...]
Ferrari are planning to give the California a power boost for 2012 and strip it of some weight. But expect the California to cost more too.

It’s a Top Gear promo for Jeremy Clarkson’s Powered Up DVD. But it’s a fight between the Ferrari FF and Ferrari 458 at Paul Ricard. Worth a watch.

Neiman Marcus – purveyors of posh stuff in the US – has revealed its Christmas car for 2011 in its Christmas Book – the Ferrari FF Neiman Marcus Edition.

Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa has revealed that the Enzo replacement (F70) will be getting a mid mounted V12 and not a turbo V8. It seems to be taking forever for Ferrari to bring the replacement for the Enzo to the market. And that has meant endless speculation (guilty as charged) about what exactly the new [...]

Ferrari has revealed the Ferrari 458 Spider – complete with folding hard top – which will debut at Frankfurt before going on sale in 2012.

Michelotti Automobili has prepared a Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am for the Maranello maker to compete in the North American Grand Am Series. It takes a bit of a leap of imagination to think of Ferrari competing in a more basic form of Motor Sport. But it is. No, Maranello hasn’t decided to go stock car racing, [...]
We have video of Marc Gene driving last year’s Ferrari F1 (F10) car up the hillclimb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Everything from classic road cars [...]

Ferrari has introduced the Ferrari Genuine Maintenance Programme, which includes free servicing – with parts and labour – for 7 years on new Ferraris.
