Last year it was Lussos that were in the Prancing Horse flavor–of–the–month club. Their values languished in the “why–would–you–want–one–of–those” $125,000–$150,000 range. Today, there are folks standing in line to buy great ones at $250,000 plus, and cars with period race history have cracked the $400,000 barrier.

Now it’s the 275 GTB/2s that are making their run.

But before we talk prices, a short history lesson. These cars are properly called just 275 GTBs. That makes sense, because when they were built, there were no longnose or four–cam models being produced.

Thanks to a lack of security at the Geneva PalExpo Centre these images of a Ferrari 599XX are out in the open for everyone’s enjoyment less than 24 hours before Ferrari is supposed to officially uncover the car.

Details are understandably quite scarce at the moment but the 599XX is set to be the most extreme 599 GTB Fiorano ever seen. We wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Schumacher was extensively involved in its development. Continue reading Ferrari 599XX Technical Study Captured Before Geneva Show Opening

Here are some new spy shots of the F142 mule.

F142 is the code name for the model meant to replace the current F430. And while this F142 comes dressed in the F430’s body, we’re beginning to see some of the modifications to the model that will likely be seen in its successor.

Of note in these new shots, taken during winter testing in northern Scandinavia, are the larger wheel cases both at the rear and at the front. (The last set of spy shots showed only a larger front wheel case.) The car also has some kind of bulge on the front bonnet for reasons we can only guess at.

Seen before were the larger air intakes just before the rear wheel and on the shoulders of the body. Continue reading Ferrari F142 Mule Spied Showing Some Body Changes and Gestures
