The new Ferrari California has a V8 engine delivering 450 bhp,mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.We think that all the attention will be on this car at the Paris Motor Show in October but with a serious rival , the Jaguar F-type.As you can see,the design was inspired from the 599 Barchetta.An amazing thing is the top made of aluminium (to keep the weight down) that can be lowered.The car will go from 0 to 100km/h in just 4 seconds.

We don’t know exactly when the Ferrari California will go on sale,but we expect to see it in the UK showrooms by 2009,with a price around £130 000 .

Luca Serafini the creator of Lamborghini Embolado presented the Ferrari F430 Concept

The new concept was inspired from the current F430 model and from other classic Ferraris.Serafini’s concept is not bad at all but there’s still something about the car’s front-end that doesn’t fit.

AliasStudioTools responded to Serafini’s demand to draw a 1:4 scaled model.

Now we are waiting for Ferrari to accept or not Serafini’s proposal.

Ferrari has been spotted testing highly camouflaged vehicles in the last 12 months that many commentators believe is the new generation Dino, a cost-effective Ferrari that would rival vehicles like the Porsche Cayman and Nissan GT-R.The original Ferrari Dino emerged in 1968 and was a mid-engined rear-wheel drive model. Production ended in 1976.

The camouflaged Ferrari that have been tested has a touch of the original Dino in the design.Though very little is known at this stage, Ferrari is believed to be working on a small capacity V8 engine for the Dino. It could output around 300kW of power.It is almost 100% guaranteed to be the new “brother” of the old Ferrari Dino.
