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. However, getting a used or discontinued Ferrari, even a classic one, comes with fewer strings. And at that point, there are plenty of high-end …
Ferrari is easily one of the most iconic names in the industry. It’s a legendary race team, a producer of some speedy streetcars, and a worldwide household name. But where did the story of this automobile legend begin? Is Ferrari an Italian car company? Who founded Ferrari? The founder of Ferrari, according to Wikipedia, is …
Why would someone like this foul things up? We know it is because of greed, but nonetheless isn’t being CEO of Ferrari North America and then COO of Bugatti a high unto itself? Can you imagine the perks? Oh, well. Maurizio Parlato was the top dog for Ferrari and Bugatti in North America. At the …
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 …
It is a wonderful thing when your talent and your passion line up. Let me explain. There is an automotive artist out there that started by working on bodywork for cars.

Whether it’s a Ferrari 488 or a Buick Lucerne, everyone has a dream car. Mine happened to be a 2008 Honda S2000, and I actually now own one. Was it worth buying? In my case, yes, because the S2000 is an affordable and reliable sports car that is cheap to maintain and insure. However, if …
Whether you’re into cars or not, chances are that you’ve dreamt of one day owning an exotic car. After all, that yellow Ferrari that you have been staring at on your computer desktop would sure look better in your garage, but it’s too bad you can’t afford it. But what if you could? What if …

I covered before how the curved lines of a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray split-window coupe got a hold of me. That gripping moment is what started my interest in the automotive industry. 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. If a Ferrari shows up to a racetrack, it is immediately considered a top contender. So, how embarrassing is it when a vehicle from a relatively new company, with no racing pedigree, shows up …
Mention Ferrari or Lamborghini, and many people think of posters of exotic cars that once hung in their rooms. That is because exotic cars are always fascinating for their beautiful lines, or their quirkiness. One of the most iconic exotic cars of the 1980s is the Ferrari Testarossa. 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. However, as the Gambler 500 Miata, rallying Porsche 924, and numerous Safari 911s show, taking a sports car into the dirt is definitely possible. …
Anna on Roads is generally a channel that reviews and test drives the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG coupe or the Lexus LS 500H AWD.

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. Ferrari launched a court case to have the offending company stop its production. Interestingly, Ferrari just lost …
There are some cars that are uncommon to see, but there are some that are so rare that you will probably never actually see them. These cars are usually kept as collectibles, sometimes shown off at shows and museums, but they don’t often make it to the streets. Every car on this list has two …

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

What makes a Ferrari a Ferrari? Is it the engine, the handling characteristics, the exhaust note, or quite simply, the badge? Technically, it’s all of the above.

It’s never pleasant when your car’s suffering quality problems, especially if it’s a high-end model. And Tesla, despite its recent improvements, still lags behind some brands when it comes to delivering flaw-free vehicles.

Although it now specializes in EVs, Volvo originally purchased Polestar with the intent of making it a performance division. Think BMW’s M, or Mercedes-AMG, only Swedish.

Ferraris are perhaps the most widely recognized and famous cars in automotive history. And while most car enthusiasts would love to one day own one, their dreams are typically crushed by the initial buy-in price, which is usually $100,000 to $250,000 depending on the model. However, thanks to depreciation and the fact that there are …

Operating margins help manufacturers keep the lights on. In markets where many manufacturers are competing, the margins get thinner. But, in ultra-exclusive markets, the reverse is true.

If you look carefully enough, the used market can be a source of some amazing high-end car bargains. For example, it’s possible to find a Porsche Cayman for less than the price of a new Honda Civic. And, of course, there’s the temptation of a used supercar, like the Audi R8. Even a brand like …

Four-seat sports cars are nothing new, however, it’s not every day that you see one with a usable back seat. What’s more, you would be even harder pressed to find a Ferrari with a rear seat, let alone one that can actually fit four adults. And even more rare would be seeing a Ferrari 456 …

There’s no shortage of expensive cars on sale today. Rolls-Royce sells an (admittedly very capable) SUV for close to $500,000.
