2012 Ferrari SP12 EC

New stylistic notes for Ferrari: the SP12 EC is born. EC like Eric Clapton
Exclusively in the Ferrari Magazine the great English musician talks about his passion for Ferrari and his one-off model.

For a Ferrari enthusiast and great musician like Eric Clapton a one-off car just had to be produced.  Designed by the Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina and the engineers from Maranello, the SP12 EC was created as homage to Clapton's career and his long lasting experience as a Ferrari owner.

The world-famous guitar player has been attached to one particular Ferrari model: the 512 BB, of which he has owned three over the years. So his desire was to drive a car inspired by this model, with influences from the multi-award winning 458 Italia. Exclusively in the latest issue of the Ferrari Official Magazine Eric Clapton talks about his passion and how the idea of a one-off car was born.

Meticulous attention in terms of style and technology was paid to the proportions and architecture of the SP12 EC - which is part of Ferrari's One-Off Programme – making this exceptional car even more significant. Just like music is created, applying the right notes in the right places to build a musical score, so was the creative process behind the SP12 EC.

For Eric Clapton, following the project through from what was, essentially, a blank canvas, was one of the most satisfying things I've ever done.” Unique and irreproducible like the final car

Fenice Milano Ferrari 360 Modena Su Misura F101

Align Center0-62 mph 4.5 seconds.
The Ferrari 360 Modena is still one of the most loved by the fans of supercars, with a 'rampant' career that marked an important technical stylistic turn for the sedan rear engine cars of the 'Cavallino', introducing the characteristics later developed with the F430 and F458 Italia.

An in-depth study of the shapes in the wind tunnel determined a thinning of the body lines, in particular in the front, in the underbody and in the slides extractors of the back. The general rounding of the body results in a grater aerodynamic raciness, while the exclusive use of aluminum permitted to realize a frame weighing a total of 1,290 for the whole car, the 28% less of the F355 one, a value that added to the 0,33 Cx permit the Modena to reach a top speed of 295 km/h and to accelerate form 0 to 100 km/h in 4,5 seconds.
Fenice Milano presents today 'Su Misura F101', the renewed version of this masterpiece of technique, including the integration of internal and external aesthetical components made in composite materials (carbon fibre) and fiberglass. The restyling, realized in 2008 from direct request of the client, includes the equipment of new 20'' rims forged in aluminum and partitioned in three pieces, assembled with tires measuring 225/30 in the front and 315/25 in the rear, suspensions with totally adjustable shock absorbers and springs and a stainless steel exhaust system.
Moreover a new ECU combined with a new suction system has been studied to improve considerably the performance of the car. In the passenger compartment the roll bar and the adjustable seats are in carbon, while the dashboard has been integrated with a multimedia navigation center and a satellite alarm.
The 'Su Misura' line was studied by Fenice Milano to satisfy at best the desire of its clients who already possess luxury supercars or who prefer to buy and personalize them according to their personal taste, with customized enhancements. Studying together with the client the best solutions to answer his requests and carrying out special feasibility studies, Fenice Milano offers the chance to take advantage of the experience of its artisans, designers and technicians also to those who would like to realize their own projects, starting from models other than the ones proposed and branded Fenice Milano.

Ferrari FF (2012)

 
  
CARBARN | Ferrari FF (2012) | The Pininfarina-styled four-seater folds futuristic shapes and detailing into classic front-engine proportions. It is long (193.2 inches), wide (76.9 inches), and Relatively low (54.3 inches), and to our eyes, it is absolutely stunning. The FF, says Ferrari, Comfortably seats four and offers Ample space for luggage.



That Ferrari claims its all-wheel-drive system, the which it refers to as 4RM, is 50 percent lighter than comparable systems, but provides no details on how this was achieved. (RM stands for ruote motrici, so 4RM just means "four-wheel-drive" in Italian.) The Italians claim a dry weight for the car of 3946 pounds, the which makes it less than 100 pounds heavier than the 612 Scaglietti, for the which Ferrari quotes a dry weight of 3880 pounds.

Incidentally, the British manufacturer Jensen built a four-seat, all-wheel-drive supercar Called the FF in the late Sixties. The acronym then Stood for Ferguson Formula, and Harry Ferguson Research supplied its all-wheel-drive system. The shape and drivetrain layout may be unusual, but the engine is pure Ferrari: a 6.3-liter, naturally aspirated 65-degree V-12 produces 651 hp That at a screaming 8000 rpm and 504 lb-ft of torque at 6000.

Ferrari claims 0 to 62 mph That Will take just 3.7 seconds-We suspect That is a highly conservative guess-and top speed Will be a Lofty 208 mph. Magnetorheological shocks Will help the FF handle, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes Will bring it to heel. Ferrari's history is peppered with shooting-brake conversions.

Ferrari F40
 CARBARN | Ferrari F40 | very sporty car that is very challenging. of shape, style, amenities and staff are all there. very flat cars just a few inches longer touch the asphalt. so for you who frequently cross the speed bump, I think a bit problematic. want to know? The following report  


Ferrari F40
Ferrari F40
Now here is an automotive face-off that I think every enthusiast on the planet can get behind. In one corner we’ve got the iconic Ferrari F40, a car that according to many Ferrari enthusiasts is perhaps the best prancing horse ever made. It’s powered by a twin-turbo V8 that pumps out 478 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. It goes from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, runs a top speed of 201 mph and crushes the 1/4 mile in 11.7 seconds. Not too shabby for a car that began production in 1987. Next up is the Porsche 959. Powered by a twin-turbo charged flat-six that made 443 hp and 369 ft-lb of torque, it blitzed to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, runs the 1/4 mile in 11.8 seconds and hits the terminal wall at 197 mph. These automobiles are icons of the 1980′s and are to this day, considered to be some of the most collectible sports cars on the planet. Seeing just one of them in person is a rare sight, but seeing both together on a race track, well that’s just epic. Click through for the video and prepare to watch two iconic super cars go head to head.

The GTO was based on the mid-engined, rear wheel drive 308 GTB (which has a 3.0 litre V8 engine). The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre V8 engine as it used a de-bored (by 1 mm) V8 with twin IHI turbochargers, intercoolers, and Weber-Marelli fuel injection. The 2855 cc engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a Turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO a theoretical engine capacity of 3997 cc, just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.

Unlike the 308's 2926 cc engine, the GTO's 2855 cc engine was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear boot space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers. The racing transmission was mounted to the rear of the longitudinal engine moving the rear differential and wheels aft. As a result the wheelbase was110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96 in). The track was also widened to accommodate wider wheels and tires (Goodyear NCT 225/50VR16 tires mounted on 8 x 16" Speedline wheels at the front and 255/50VR16 mounted on 10 x 16" wheels at the rear) to provide increased cornering and braking performance and the ability to apply 400 hp (298 kW) and 366 lb·ft (496 N·m) of torque to the ground. The GTO was an impressive performer with 0-60 mph times in the upper 4 second range. Ferrari claimed 0-125 mph (201 km/h) in 15 seconds flat. Top speed was 189 mph (304 km/h), making it the first street-legal production car to reach 300 km/h (186 mph).[1]
