Kobe Bryant at Ferrari
Maranello, 24 July 2016 – Kobe Bryant, the great star of Los Angeles Lakers, made a whirlwind visit to Maranello,
where he tested the F12tdf on the track and the GTC4Lusso on the road. When visiting the factory, Kobe also took
interest in the cars’ design, manufacturing and personalization aspects, as well as in Ferrari’s history and values. The
end of his visit was marked by the classical picture on the track, in front of the building that houses Enzo Ferrari’s
office, flanked by the Ferrari California T and the 488 GTB. A legend paid a visit to another legend.

Magnum P.I.- Era Ferrraris Are Red-Hot on the Classic Car Market
“Five years ago, you and I should have taken all of our liquid assets combined and purchased every 308 we could
get our hands on to sell today.”
This is how Hagerty’s Jonathan Klinger described the Ferrari 308 to me the other day on the phone. I had asked him
what he thought of buying the Pininfarina-styled coupes and convertibles made in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.
He was enthusiastic on the prospect. Today the current average value across the 308 range is $71,000, up 190
percent since 2011, according to Hagerty data. For the rare fiberglass 308s made in 1976, the increase is more than
200 percent. And earlier this year, a 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina set a world record for its type when it took
$357,500 at a Gooding & Co. auction in Scottsdale, Ariz.
“The racing Ferraris were the ones that grabbed headlines and were highly sought -after—at that point, 308s kind of
were in that used-car phase in their life,” Klinger said. “But now you’ve got the generation that had these cars as
posters. They’re starting to buy cars. So the older collector used to think of ‘real’ Ferraris as the racing Ferraris from
the '50s and '60s, but the younger collectors are changing that.”

Post-Dino, a Real Modern Ferrari
This is the car Tom Selleck made famous in the television show Magnum, P.I., driving it around Hawaii from 1980 to
1989.
Ferrari introduced it at the Paris Auto Show in 1975. It came just after the brand had made a Bertone-designed 308
GT4 2+2 seater, which was disparaged in some circles as a “budget Ferrari” and which closely followed the
discontinuation of the popular Dino 246. (Those will likely always have more upward potential than the Ferrari 308s,
Klinger says.) Critics thought it felt rushed; some Ferrari acolytes didn’t accept the 308 GT4 2+2 as a true Dino
successor at all. So when the brand tapped Pininfarina to st yle a full-fledged, stand-alone 308 GTB, enthusiasts
everywhere breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this was a new 308, which Ferrari made from 1976 to 1985, when it was updated to a Ferrari 328. It was a
true two-seat, mid-engine V8 coupe—and just over 12,000 were produced; a quarter of those are likely still left in the
United States, according to Hagerty. Initial models came with a tube frame, a separate shell body, a five-speed manual
transmission, and many of the same components as the Dino before it. Power varied from just over 200 horsepower
to closer to 250hp in later years. GTS models included a removable black satin roof panel that could be stowed behind
the seats. It was also, blessedly, eight inches shorter than the GT4. And with such a light (2,400-pound) body, it
quickly earned a reputation as something immensely fun, if less than mind-numbingly fast, to drive. (I’ll get to the
speed part in a second.)
“For a car from the ‘80s, it is a nimble, high-revving engine with a great sound,” Klinger said. “It is plenty peppy and
powerful to drive, and the gaited shifter makes it really fun.” The fact that the 308 isn’t weighed down by such extras
as power steering, power brakes, or an enormous engine certainly helps, too.
What to Look For
If you are in the market to buy one, expect to pay anywhere from $50,000 to $125,000, depending on what you value
in your car. The value is expected to level out and stabilize over the next few years. For instance, is the one you’re
considering in perfect, original-condition form? Do you want one you’ll have to restore? Do you want one already
restored? Those things determine how much you’ll have to pay.
Versions with rebuilt engines, for instance, routinely cost more than six figures: The current average sale price for all
308s at North American auctions is $110,000, according to Hagerty. (That is an increase of 58 percent over the past
12 months). For the biggest bargain, look closely at the two-valve injected versions made from 1980 to 1982. They
have only 205 horsepower but are reliable drivers and more affordable than the others.
July 29th, 2016
If you want to maximize the return on your investment, start looking toward versions from the early years. During the
308 production run, Ferrari introduced several variants: a 308 GTS Targa in 1977, plus GTBi and GTSi variants with
improved fuel-injection from 1980 to 1982. (Fiberglass bodies had converted over to steel bodies by 1977; only 712
of those super-light ones made it through production.) By 1983 it was making the 308 GTBs and 308 GTS
Quattrovalvole with even more engine refinement and power.
The carbureted 308s from 1976 and 1977 are especially good on the road, thanks to aggressive cams and lack of
emissions equipment, which made them light and nimble, even though they have less power than in later years. (Only
1,000 of the fiberglass-body cars from that year were made; they are among the lightest and most fun-to-drive cars
from the era.) You can find some like that on websites such as the Du Pont Registry and Hemmings.
Also, counter-intuitively, if you’re thinking of it as an investment, go for the coupe rather than the convertible.
“This is one of those few cases where the coupe version is more valuable than the spider version,” Klinger said. “It’s
not a huge difference, but the average value for a coupe is 16 percent higher than for a spider.” (Why? Seems to be
a matter of personal taste.)
There’s a big price spread at auction. Last year in Monterey, Mecum sold one estimated at $150,000. Gooding sells
them for as little as $74,800 for a Ferrari-red one from 1979.
What to Watch For
The main thing to know if you do buy one is that it’ll cost a lot—more than your run-of-the-mill muscle car or sportster—
to repair. Ferrari 308s have been known to suffer from unreliable camshaft belts, head gaskets, fuel systems, cooling
systems, and electrical systems. Parts for 308s are plentiful but expensive.
“There are examples when cars like this get purchased by someone who can afford the car but they don’t necessarily
have the appetite or ability to pay to maintain it, so the cars just get driven and discarded,” Klinger said. “You need to
know what you’re doing when you purchase it. If a timing belt breaks, you’ve got a very expensive repair ahead of it.
The same goes for a very low mileage example that has been sitting for many years: It’s going to need some
maintenance before you start driving it.”
Once you get behind the wheel, the expense will have been worth it. Yes, the 308 can seem embarrassingly plodding
in the context of how aggressive its sharp, short nose and gaping side air vents are. There was even a bit on some
car show or other where the 308 was beaten in a head-to-head race with a Toyota Camry.
July 29th, 2016
But Klinger recently drove a friend’s silver-with-red-interior ’83 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole from Michigan to
Ohio—and he approved. The car has real personality, he said. That’s something no 0-60mph split time can ever
measure.
“If you asked me which car I wanted to drive across the country, while something like the Lamborghini Countach is
certainly flashier, I would rather drive the 308,” Klinger said. “I had a great time. After driving, it I can absolutely see
why people buy them.” (Bloomberg)
Ferrari Store returns to Rome
Rome, 26 July 2016 – The Ferrari Store is reopening on Via Tomacelli in the heart of Rome. The address remains
the same, but this long-term symbol and landmark for fans of the Prancing Horse has been given a total makeover.
The concept of the space, which covers an area of 400 square meters, draws on and reinterprets the values of the
Maranello based company. Ferrari’s sporting spirit is emphasized by the product lines, from the most technical to the
clothing collections inspired by our gentleman drivers, and by an entertainment area that will soon be enriched with
the latest generation of F1 Simulators. With its five large display windows, the Rome store is the third largest directly
operated Italian flagship after those of Maranello and Milan.

Ferrari GTC4Lusso Korea Premiere
The Ferrari GTC4Lusso officially made its Korean Premiere in Seoul on June 29, the car’s very first appearance in
Korea following the International Premiere at the Geneva Motor show in March.
Ferrari held its official GTC4Lusso launch event displaying a Bianco colored GTC4Lusso at W Seoul Walkerhill hotel
Woobar. It was unveiled by 4 graceful dancers expressing elegance, performance and versatility — epitomizing a
whole new world of experiences! A display zone was specially created to showcase the GTC4Lusso’s powerful V12
engine and suspension as well as the special interior leathers.
Ferrari GTC4Lusso hails a major evolution of the sporting Grand Tourer concept. This is a car designed for clie nts
wanting to experience the pleasure of driving a Ferrari anywhere, anytime, be it on short spins or long journeys, snowy
mountain roads or city streets, alone or in the company of three lucky passengers.
Dieter Knechtel, CEO of Ferrari Far East and Middle East Hub, who visited Korea for the launch of the GTC4Lus s o
said, “The GTC4Lusso possesses an exceptional level of performance, remarkable versatility and a spacious
luxurious interior, supporting various lifestyles typical of a Ferrari client. We are confident that the GTC4Lusso will be
popular in Korea as Ferrari customers in Korea appreciate cutting edge design and innovation which this car provides . ”

How
Hard Is It To Get Ferrari To Build You Your Own One-Off Model?
Ferrari has a knack for rewarding its most valued customers with special one-off models that are uniquely tailored to
its customer's tastes. Ferrari's latest one-off, the 458 MM Speciale, shows just how awesome these custom creations
can be. But how easy is it to commission Ferrari to build you your own custom model? Could you go to Ferrari
headquarters with a $5 million check and walk out with a car? In an interview with Autocar, Ferrari’s commercial
director Enrico Galliera opens up about this very secretive program and how to be a part of it.
Gaining entry into Ferrari's One-Off program is not easy, and Ferrari does not promote it. In order to be selected, the
automaker gauges prospective clients at events like the Festival of Speed. Galliera says that he likes "to pick those
who live and breathe Ferrari and appreciate how special a one-off car is.” If you are selected, you better be prepared
to devote some of your time to creating the car. A one-off Ferrari can take 18 to 24 months and "if you change your
mind several times, then it takes longer than expected. It also depends on how different the car is and how specific
you are with your requests."
Ferrari will let you base your car on models it already makes. That means you can choose between a front or midengined V8 or V12. Ferrari will drastically change features such as aerodynamics, but the engine and transmission
must remain the same.
July 29th, 2016
No matter what the customer asks for, it must be consistent with the Ferrari brand. If the customer wants pink, or a
hardcore racing version of the California T, the answer will be no. Galliera explains that, “This is first and foremost a
Ferrari, which means that the performance cannot be compromised by the design.” After factoring in all this, you
should still be prepared for a very long wait.
Galliera says that one-offs are sold out until 2021."It has to remain something extremely limited. So even though we
have a long list of clients, we are trying to cap it." If you're one of the few individuals who gets Ferrari to make you a
one-off, you will certainly need to have some deep pockets. Galliera says that the price will depend on which chassis
you choose, but you should be ready to spend over $3 million. You also better be prepared to drive it, because Ferrari
looks for people who won't just stash the car away in a collection. Although, like most Ferrari cars, these amazing
one-offs will probably be kept under a tarp and only shown off at snazzy car shows where they won't be driven. (Jared

Ferrari’s Next-Generation Platform to be 15 percent Lighter
Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] is close to finalizing development of a modular platform that will underpin its next generation of
cars starting in the next year or two.
The platform needed to be highly flexible so that it can underpin most of Ferrari’s lineup including mid-engine sports
cars and front-engined GTs. It also needed to be compatible with rear- and all-wheel-drive setups as well as hybrid
technology.
It’s a strategy already employed by arch rival McLaren, but Ferrari is sticking with aluminum for its platform as opposed
to carbon fiber favored by McLaren and a few other supercar marques. Ferrari favors aluminum because of the
material's relative ease when it comes to production and maintenance, despite it being heavier and less stiff than
carbon fiber.
It’s been revealed that America’s Altair helped Ferrari develop the new platform. Altair has been working with Ferrari
for over a decade and even sent a team to Maranello to work alongside Ferrari’s own design, engine ering and
manufacturing teams on the new platform.
Altair is an expert in computational modelling and this talent was required in meeting the strict weight and structural
targets, Ferrari engineer Maximilian Szwaj said.
July 29th, 2016
“The speed of [Altair’s] optimization processes deployed were able to control the weight whilst achieving the
demanding structural targets as new packaging changes were introduced,” he explained. “For Ferrari, the next generation platform is a significant engineering achievement and a sy mbol of our successful collaboration with Altair.”
The result is a platform that is 15 percent lighter than Ferrari’s current designs, while also superior in areas such as
crash performance, NVH levels and related attributes. This in turn should result in “outstanding” weight and
performance characteristics, the company promises. (Viknesh Vijayenthiran)
'Historic' Ferrari that Lay Unused for 50 years is Set to Sell for £6million - Despite Rotting
Inside and Needing a Full Restoration
A 'historically significant' Ferrari is set to sell for £6million next month despite it lying unused for almost 50 years and
needing a full restoration.
The 1950 Ferrari 166 MM is one of the Italian manufacturer's earliest cars and was driven in legendary races such as
the thousand-mile Mille Miglia in 1950 and 1951.
On the outside, the car appears to be in impeccable shape, But on further inspection, the interior needs a full - and
likely expensive - refurbishment.
July 29th, 2016
Rust and what appears to be rot have taken over sections of the inside of the vehicle, although the leather seats
appear to be new.
The car - which originally had no roof - was driven by auto designer Nuccio Bertone and finished third in its class in
1950 with a time of 15 hours and 22 minutes.
The Ferrari hit an average speed of about 65mph in that race but had a top speed of more than 110mph thanks to its
2-litre V12 engine in its prime.
The car - known as 0046 M - continued to be raced but in 1953 it was transformed into a 'berlinett a', or closed roof
coupe, by coachbuilder Zagato.
By 1955, the Italian sports car was in the U.S. and in 1966 it was bought for $1,500 by American student Darren
Westfaul, who used it to drive to his University of Alabama campus.
After graduating in 1967, Mr Westfaul tucked the car away and it was hardly seen until 2007, when he generously
donated it to the university to sell on.
They made more than $1million (£761,000) from the Ferrari and the car has been preserved - even retaining a 50year-old university parking permit in the window.
Despite it requiring a full restoration - not to mention a lick of paint inside - auction house Gooding & Co has described
the car as 'one of the last great unrestored Ferraris'.
July 29th, 2016
The auction house has given it an estimate of around $8million (£6million) and whoever buys the 166 MM next month
will have the job of deciding whether to get it roadworthy as a coupe or carry out an extensive restoration to remove
its roof.
If the Ferrari 166 MM achieves its estimate, it will be one of the most expensive unrestored cars to ever sell publicly.
'This 1950 166 MM is a thoroughbred competition Ferrari and an important part of the Italian marque's pedigree,' a
Gooding & Co spokesman said.
'Remarkably, this historic Ferrari has been in storage since 1967 and is presented today in wonderful unrestored
condition.
'This fascinating early Ferrari offers its new owner exciting options of either preserving the car in its current state as
a true time capsule from the mid-1960s or performing an exacting restoration - either in its period Zagato Berlinetta
configuration or return the car to its original Barchetta design.'
It is one of a number of very valuable Italian cars which are being sold by Gooding & Co at its Pebble Beach sale in
California on August 20 and 21.
The auction house also has a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione which has been valued at
around £15million.
It is also offering a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione, worth an estimated £13million, and a 1962
Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta expected to sell for almost £10million.
David Gooding, president and founder of Gooding & Company, added: 'We are truly honored to present these rare
and historic Ferraris.
'Offering cars of this caliber, with exceptional specification, racing history, authenticity, and provenance, is what sets
our company apart from the competition and what makes The Pebble Beach Auctions so thrilling to attend,' he added.

Detail Hints for Areas Sometimes Forgotten
Exhaust Tip Detailing
Sometimes it’s the small things that make a big difference between a good looking car, and a great looking one. Your
paint can look fantastic, but if you haven’t taken the time to properly detail areas such as the wheels, wheel wells,
glass, or the exhaust tips, then the job simply isn’t complete.
Perhaps the most frequently overlooked area is the exhaust tips. Although it can be a bit of a messy job if they’re
neglected, it’s actually quite simple and doesn’t require a tremendous amount of time to do it right.
Not only does it make the car look much better when the exhaust tips are detailed, but it also prolongs the life of the
finish, which is usually stainless steel or chrome. Similar to wheel care, if neglected the finish on your exhaust tips will
start to corrode, pit, or discolor. With regular maintenance however, they will stay looking nice for a very long time.
First let’s take a look at the exhaust tips on this 2005 BMW M3. As you can see, they’re in need of some serious work!
Upon my initial inspection, I could tell that they were showing signs of pitting on the outside, and permanent etching
on the inside towards the end of the tips.
July 29th, 2016
I’ll work on the wheels and exhaust tips first before washing the car so that I don’t get any residue/overspray from
them onto a freshly cleaned painted surface.
I’ve got my buckets ready and supplies staged, so let’s get busy! Once again, here are the exhaust tips before I got
started.
First I start by spraying down the inside and outside of the tips with Chemical Guys Grime Reaper APC at a 5:1 ratio.
It’s shipped as a concentrate, so you’ll want to get a DI Trigger Spray Bottle to mix your solution in.
After letting the APC dwell for a minute to start breaking down the grime, I’ll clean the outside part of the exhaust
using either a Mini E-Z Detail brush (they are perfect for cleaning the areas between a dual-tip setup like this one), or
an old microfiber towel that I strictly use for dirty jobs.
July 29th, 2016
Now it’s time to use some 0000 steel wool (very fine grade) with the CG Grime Reaper to clean out the insides of the
exhaust tips.
Take a look at the dramatic difference between the two sides…and this is even before polishing!
After I cleaned all 4 tips in the same manner, I washed and dried the M3 (and polished it), and am now putting all of
the finishing touches on the car.
Your exhaust tips are now clean, but if you want to take them to the next level, I recommend polishing them up a bit
both inside and out. Here I am using Optimum Metal Polish and 0000 steel wool on the insides of the tips.
July 29th, 2016
Now I’m moving on to the outside of the tips once again with Optimum Metal Polish and an older microfiber towel that
I no longer use for the painted surfaces. If there’s a grain in the finish, then be sure to polish with the grain. Another
product that I like to use on the outside of exhaust tips is Klasse All-In-One.
All finished! As you can see, the insides of the exhaust tips have a bit of permanent etching from infrequent cleaning,
but they look much better, and will remain that way with simple cleaning during each wash. (Todd Cooperider)

Magnetic Bottle Opener
Possibly one of the niftiest bar tools we've ever seen, this walnut bottle opener has a magnet to catch and hold your
bottle caps. You mount it on a wall, pop off your bottle top, and the rare earth magnet within the wood grabs hold of
your cap. This means you can easily clean up all the caps at once (it holds up to 70!)—and it gets more and more
interesting looking as you accumulate tops.
We do wish we'd discovered this one in our era of college parties.
"It's like a magic trick! My kids love to see just how many bottle caps you can get to pile up on the magnetic base. It's
like an evolving street art installation in your kitchen." —Amanda Hesser, Co-Founder & CEO
