Ferrari Sports Cars

The cheapest new Ferrari on sale today starts at over $210,000, which is a lot of money. But, what if you want the full-fat experience of owning a prancing horse without having to break the bank? Fear not because we have compiled a list of proper Ferraris that will make you look like a million bucks for the price of a new Accord!

It is official; electric cars are here on everyone’s minds, and they are not going anywhere unless advancements are made in hydrogen, but that is not looking like it will happen anytime soon. The final sign of this fact is going to arrive on June 16 as Ferrari will give us all the nitty-gritty details of their step into the electric supercar and super-SUV market in a press briefing. The short story, however, is that Ferrari recently bought up land near their fabled Maranello factory with the plans to build a third production facility to focus on electric motors, EV batteries, and the development of future hybrid models.

Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer is a series of sports cars produced by Ferrari between 1973 and 1984. The first BB model was the 365 GT4 BB and it was followed by the BB 512 and the BB 512i. While the first BB model was unveiled at the 1971 Turin Auto Show, the 512i followed 10 years later at the 1981 Frankfurt Motor Show. The BB models were not built for the U.S. market, and whatever units you can find here were imported and federalized in-period via the gray market.

The Ferrari 512 TR was introduced in 1991 as a replacement for the Testarossa. The model retained most of the predecessor’s design language, as well as the flat-12 powerplant, but it was quicker and more powerful. The model stayed in production for only three years and only 2,261 units were built, out of which only 408 examples were delivered to North America. Suffice it to say, finding one in good condition here is kind of rare. It is in fact almost impossible to find one with less than 13k miles on the odometer, which shows the amazing opportunity of this sale. The car is listed in California, and to nobody’s surprise, the current bid is already $100,000.

The Ferrari Roma is, arguably, one of the coolest-looking Ferrari models launched in the past few years. It features a very clean, yet elegant design that makes it very easily recognizable. We’ve seen a lot of cool kits for it, with the best ones coming from traditional tuners like Novitec and Mansory, but still, it is the new one-off Roma designed by Ferrari’s Tailor Made department that really took the car to a completely new level.

It’s only been a while since Chevy started shipping the Corvette Stingray on the other side of the pond, and for the first time ever, they’ve decided to offer it with right-hand drive, serving markets like the U.K, Australia, and Japan. As these things are currently, hot off the oven, Mat Watson from CarWow decided to pit it against a similarly sized Ferrari 458 Specialé to see what’s what. Here’s how it went down.

The use and application of 4WD in consumer vehicles is nothing new. The first application of this technology was seen in 1893 when an English engineer, Bramah Joseph Diplock, patented a four-wheel-drive system for a steam-powered tractor. In 1903, Spyker became the first automaker to bring it to mainstream automobiles.

The true evolution of 4WD came about with WWII when all major manufacturers started developing lightweight vehicles with four driven wheels for the military. Soon enough, Germans found that the traction gains from a 4WD system could prove highly beneficial on the dirt roads of the Group-B rally stages as well. As a result, Audi became the first to fit its purpose-built performance car with an all-wheel-drive system in 1980, and the rest is history.

Practicality is, often, an afterthought when it comes to high-performance sports cars. If you are on the market for one, there’s a good chance that practicality is not among your top priorities or that you have another, more practical vehicle. With that said, not all sports cars are made equal, with some of them being surprisingly practical. Here are 15 sports cars that are more usable than you might think.

Goodwood is one of the very few places where highly-exclusive, classic vehicles can be seen, driven on their limits. When it comes to special cars, few can match the presence of a 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO. The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the rarest and most expensive, high-performance vehicles, which is why seeing one being raced is a rare occurance.

Few things are as straightforward as pitting two very fast cars against each other in a drag race. This time, we are in Germany where Daniel Abt has arranged for an Audi RS6 Avant modified by ABT to go up against a Ferrari 812 Superfast. Needless to say, the two cars are very different, so it should be an interesting race.

Mat Watson from ‘Carwow’ is back with yet another drag race involving three supercars that have loyal fan bases of their own. But, no matter how desirable, this race is a tad bit stale. We had the same results with whatever kind of race that happened. Now, it’s not necessary that every race has to tug our heartstrings or give us the adrenaline rush, right? But, then why did we cover it? Well, the cars are eye candies and sound amazing. That’s it!

Ferrari Roma was introduced back in 2019 as a 2+2 grand tourer based on the Portofino. It was placed under the 812 Superfast and was the most affordable Ferrari at the moment. You can imagine this made the Roma a very successful supercar. But, while it can easily stand against models from Porsche or Aston Martin, the Roma is not at all a very powerful supercar. But, thanks to tuners like Mansory, this can be sorted.

In the past few years, automotive designer, Afzal Kahn, has wowed the world with a few very cool projects. You probably remember the Aston Martin WB12 Vengeance, the ’Flying Huntsman’ 105 Longnose, and the Huntsman 110 6x6 Defender Double Cap Pickup revealed in the past few years. Now, Kahn has come up with a project that pays homage to the Ferraris of the yore

Ferrari is one of the few brands that even grown-ups lust after the same way they did when they were young. Sadly, owning a car from the Prancing Horse’s “Scuderia” is a privilege few of us get. Things are not as grim on the used market and this 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB is a perfect example that owning a Ferrari doesn’t have to be a distant mirage. While prices for the 308 have already crept up to the $100,000 mark, this particular example is listed for “just” $79,500.

This Monday’s drag race comes from CarWow and it’s an expensive one. It’s a three-way drag race between the Bentley Continental GT Speed, Aston Martin DBS, and Ferrari Roma – three ultra-luxurious grand tourers. Representing Britain is the Bentley Continental GT Speed and Aston Martin DBS, while Italy is being represented by the Ferrari Roma, which is the brand’s entry-level GT car.

Lego has spruced up its ‘Speed Champions’ lineup by adding seven new cars to the range this year. The new additions are from the likes of Aston Martin, Mercedes, Lamborghini, etc. If you are a collector or a Lego enthusiast, this is something you should definitely pamper yourself with.

Ferrari ownership is an entry into an exclusive club, but not all Ferraris are treated the same. Some of those Ferraris enjoy a status that exceeds the realm of exclusivity. Here’s a list of the priciest and most exclusive cars wearing the iconic prancing horse.
