Maserati is a respected automaker with origins in Italy. The manufacturer has a strong racing background and a strong consumer luxury performance vehicle background. But, for roughly 20 years, the company has been using someone else’s engines, Ferrari’s. That is why Maserati is often referred to as the poor man’s Ferrari. A buyer of the Italian trident-wearing …
Ferrari’s rearing stallion is synonymous with high-quality, high-priced supercars. Boasting powerful performers such as the 812 Superfast, 812 GTS, SF90 Spider, Roma, Portofino, and SF90 Stradale, Ferrari knows a thing or two about building amazing cars. But MotorTrend recently used another adjective to describe the 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo. And it’s not necessarily a good …

This year has certainly been one of surprises, but even hardcore Ferrari fans didn’t see this coming: an SUV announcement. Ferrari revealed plans for its Purosangue earlier this year.

It’s pretty amazing when someone comes upon a derelict Ferrari. Straight out of the factory everyone knows a Ferrari is a special beast. They’re normally garaged, pampered, and rarely driven. But Ferraris beyond fixing are out there. Whether from neglect, Mother Nature, or fire, these Ferraris are too far gone to fix. So read and …

‘Entry-level’ means something different when you talk about high-end cars. Especially from a brand like Ferrari. Still, even the historic Italian automaker needs to expand its market offerings. That’s why it’s working on an SUV, and why it’s released the Ferrari Roma. So, what’s it like to get behind the wheel of an ‘entry-level’ Ferrari? …
In the world of cars, there are vehicles that we deem affordable, namely the vehicles the average person can comfortably afford.

While its newest models come with quite a few restrictions, many older Ferraris find themselves being used for all sorts of projects. Some builds, like Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera’s Aero 3, give the donor Ferrari a full re-skin. Others, though, focus on transplanting the Italian powertrain into more mundane cars. And one of these builds, the …
It could be argued that Ferrari is THE brand most people think of when they hear “sports car.” Ferraris are flashy, Italian, expensive, fast, loud, romantic, and beautifully-crafted luxury items that have no practical purpose in the world. That last point, in particular, might be why Ferrari is vowing never to go full-electric. Of course, …

When I was growing up, the Ferrari 308 on the Magnum P.I. television show caught my attention. From there, I learned what an exotic car is.

In July, a story surfaced of a neglected 1988 Ferrari Testarossa abandoned on a street in Puerto Rico. At that time, I covered how the car had sat for 17 years prior to a Youtuber with a channel called Ratarossa becoming aware of it. He took a pass on purchasing the Ferrari but wanted to know what would happen …
“Like-new” gets thrown around the used-car market more than the last bottle of hot sauce at the BBQ. In most cases, it is utter nonsense. In rarer cases, it can refer to vehicles that have lower mileage and are in really good shape. In this particular case, “like-new” pretty much means brand-new. There is currently …
F1-inspired supercars maybe Ferrari’s most iconic vehicles, but the Italian automaker has made more than just. It’s created GTs like the 456, 911-fighting sports cars like the 308 GT4, and even some police cars. However, it’s usually not associated with boats. But, like Lamborghini, Ferrari has dipped its toes into the aquatic world. And its …
Buying and owning a brand-new Ferrari can sometimes be a hassle, due to the Italian company’s desire to protect its image. And a few of its sportiest cars can’t be street-driven.

Ferrari may have a reputation for putting out luxurious, high-powered vehicles, but not every model can be a winner. The Ferrari Mondial 8 is a ridiculously underpowered car, Motor1 reports. Car and Driver road tests even found that the Mondial 8 made 0 to 60 mph in over 9.5 seconds — definitely not what you’d expect from this automaker. The …

After that, I started learning about performance cars, horsepower figures, cornering abilities of sportscars versus sedans, and the importance of aerodynamics in …
It’s rare for any automaker to actually develop a road-capable race car. Even Ferrari, with its extensive F1 history, that it continually stresses, keeps its road cars and race cars separate. Even if many of the former do draw inspiration from the sport. But that’s not exactly the case with the Ferrari F50. That’s because …
The Ghibli, from Maserati, has been awaiting an update for much too long. The brand has not had any real excitement in its ranks, arguably since the Maserati Levante model was introduced in 2016. The Ghibli, in the meantime, has grown long in the tooth. So, when Maserati announces that an update is coming, naturally, …
The historic Ferrari brand speaks of a storied racing heritage born from an intense desire to not just win, but dominate.

Mention Ferrari or Lamborghini, and many people think of posters of exotic cars that once hung in their rooms.

That Ferrari model’s design was, and is …
Typically, supercars like the Nissan GT-R don’t find themselves going off-road. True, some supercars, like the Audi R8 and Aston Martin V8 Vantage can be daily-drivable. But that’s on the pavement.

Ferrari is very protective of its brand. Most manufacturers are. So, when a company in the same town the manufacturer is based out of, Modena, started offering rebodied Ferrari models as their own, things got legal very quickly.

While restomodding can be expensive, it is a great way to keep a classic car enjoyable on the road for longer.
