Some things just get better with time.

It would seem a car made by Ferrari is one of them!

Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale by Scaglietti



We're used to classic Ferraris selling for crazy money, but this car might set a new record.

It’s a 275 GTB/C Speciale by Scaglietti and it could become the most expensive Ferrari ever sold at auction when it goes under the hammer at the RM Auctions Monterey sale in California on 15–16 August 2014...

Follow the link above for more luscious pictures and great info on that lovely piece of Art!!

Austin, 31 October –

Ferrari reaches an important landmark this weekend, as it’s sixty years since its cars first went on sale in America, currently the company’s biggest market in commercial terms. To mark the occasion, on what is a very busy weekend in terms of special events for the team, in collaboration with Puma, the Scuderia Ferrari drivers will wear firesuits that celebrate this important anniversary. The team members will also be wearing limited edition Oakley sunglasses, in a further tribute to this exceptional anniversary.

The guys look mighty cute in their firesuits and sunglasses!!

Here's the cover of the Scuderia Magazine that commemorates their 60 years in the U. S. of A.



That's a great way to combine the two flags into one image!!

So... Marchionne intends to stay faithful to Mr. Ferrari's philosophy of not over-saturating the market!!

It's also interesting that the UK is Ferrari's second largest market, after China!!

...When he ousted Montezemolo, there were suggestions that Marchionne wanted to increase production of the road cars.

Ferrari currently sells just over 7,000 cars a year, production being capped at that level by the previous chairman Luca di Montezemolo. Marchionne says that it is “technically possible” to make 10,000 cars a year but added that he is mindful of Enzo Ferrari’s mantra that one should aim to sell “one less car than the market demands”.

However sales of Ferraris in China have not continued their previous growth, as the country’s growth has slowed economically in the last year. Sales in the USA remain very strong and the UK is now the marque’s second largest market.
