Michael Schumacher’s Unique Black Ferrari FXX Could Be Yours for €2.03 Million


It goes without saying that, when the people at Ferrari offer one of their drivers a unique car as a gift, they don’t expect to find it later up for sale in online classifieds… If the folks at Maranello were to check the website of a Swiss exclusive car dealer called Garage Zénith, they would be surprised to find two very special Ferraris that belonged to Michael Schumacher.

Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution Born Again Following 2011 Dive Into the Atlantic Ocean [w/Videos]


You may remember that in 2011, a Ferrari Enzo XX modified by Edo Competition ended up in the Atlantic Ocean at the Targa Newfoundland competition. Needless to say, the car was badly damaged and had to undergo extensive repairs.

In order to do that, its owner shipped it to Germany so that Edo Competition could take care of it. The removal of the salt water and all damaged parts represented the basis for the rebuild.

Listen to the Raw, Spine-Tingling Sounds of the Ferrari FXX Evo


When it comes to obscenely expensive cars, few can compare with the track-exclusive Ferrari FXX Evoluzione. Imagine spending $1.8 million (€1.39 million) on a car you’re not allowed to drive outside race circuits – and even so, you can only drive it on special track days approved by Ferrari.

Based on the already exclusive Enzo, the experimental Ferrari FXX Evo cars are powered by a 6.3-liter V12 unit developing 848 horsepower (860 PS) at 9,500 rpm.

Is This the New Ferrari F150 Hypercar?


Carscoops reader Colin P. just dropped a couple of tips in our email box, both regarding the spanking new Ferrari F150-codenamed hybrid supercar.

The first one is a Twitter picture shared by Charles Morgan, Managing Director of Morgan Motors, that shows a covered up car at Ferrari's Geneva Motor Show stand, with a man who…doesn't really look very pleased, running towards the person holding the camera.

Ferrari F150 Lousy Teaser Series Continues, What Are We Looking at Here?


Unlike rivaling marques Porsche and McLaren, both of which have revealed their products in the hybrid supercar segment with the 918 Spyder and P1, respectively, Ferrari won't even tell us the name it has chosen for its new flagship, simply referring to it with its internal codename F150.

Ferrari Teases F150 with Lousy Shot, Confirms Geneva Motor Show Debut


When it comes to Ferrari and new cars, it's all about its select clientele and not the press or fans of the brand. The Maranello-based carmaker has already shown the new F150-codenamed successor to the Enzo to potential owners, but for the rest of the world, all we get is this crude shot that looks like a photo taken with a poor camera phone from the past decade.

New Ferrari F150 to Cost €1.0/$1.3 Million Before Taxes, Fresh Rendering Previews its Looks


You can now forget about that 0.0001 percent chance you thought you might have of being able to own Ferrari's next masterpiece, which we have come to know as the F150-codenamed replacement of the Enzo.

A new report from Autoweek citing "people familiar to the matter" says the new Ferrari hypercar will have a pre-tax starting price of around €1 million (US$1.33 million at today's currency rates). Add the taxes, and you're looking at €1.21 million or $1.6 million, if you live in Italy.

Ferrari F150 Announcement on Instagram Sounds Fishier than Cod…


We need not tell you that you should be extra careful with what you read on the internet these days, as it's easy to fall victim to harmless pranks, sloppy journalism, or bloggers simply churning out one piece after the other like they're working in a Chinese bubblegum factory without ever questioning the source they found the information on.

Today, the net is abuzz with a posting on Instagram from a page called "oficialfFerrari" (did you notice the "f" missing from the name?) with a teaser showing the replacement for the Enzo, codenamed F150 (which we've already seen), and the following oddly worded statement:

Scoop: Ferrari F150 Sheds Even More Camo, Sounds Delicious at Fiorano


It was about time Ferrari's people got rid of that ungainly front camouflage on the Enzo replacement test car that made it look like a startled catfish. Moreover, with the company having already teased the front and rear end of the car in its magazine, it was unnecessary...

Less than a month before its Geneva Auto Show debut, it was also time we saw and heard the F150 (the car’s internal code-name) testing. YouTube uploader Marchettino took care of that, as he filmed Maranello’s upcoming hypercar during testing at the Ferrari-owned Fiorano track – and as an added bonus, there was also a red Enzo doing the rounds, too.

New Details on Ferrari F150 Hit the Web after Private Preview, Said to have 950HP


Ferrari has an old habit of showing off its future models to potential buyers (read extremely wealthy) behind locked doors well before it reveals the cars to the rest of the world.

One such private preview is rumored to have taken place on Wednesday, in Maranello, where Ferrari lifted the wraps off the F150 Project, which is the codename for the Enzo replacement that may or may not be called the F70 in production trim.

To prove that this event did indeed occur today in Ferrari's home town, one participant took a shot of a metal plate from the event, while at least two people have shared some very interesting details about the new mid-engine hypercar, though, keep in mind, there's no way of confirming the numbers (yet).

Spy Shots: Ferrari's F150 Hypercar Shows a Little Bit More Skin


Unlike McLaren, which has all but revealed the shape of the P1 and even released videos of its development, but is keeping mum on the powertrain specs, Ferrari has been very open about its own hypercar, currently code-named the F150 (rumor has it that it may be named F70). However, aside from a couple of teaser photos, Maranello won't fully show us the Enzo's replacement. Read more »

This Ferrari Enzo Replica with a 400hp BMW V12 Almost Had us Fooled


More often than not, replica sightings on eBay capture our attention for all the wrong reasons, but once in a while, we find ourselves taking a second look to see if what we're dealing with is real or not.

Such was the case with this Ferrari Enzo replica listed for sale in Germany, which was unearthed by CarScoop reader Bilal A.

Granted, the shape of the rear window covering the engine bay and the way it connects to the roof, or most parts of the interior including the gated shifter and the regular steering wheel, are a dead giveaway to the trained eye, but you have to admit that, overall, the builder of the car did a pretty good job.

Fantastic Four: A Brief History of the Ferrari F150's Illustrious Ancestors


Not all Ferraris are born equal. True, each and every one of them is a bona-fide supercar (with a lemon or two thrown in from time to time; no one gets it always right…). Among all the models built over the years, though, there are four that stand out.

During an interview published in Ferrari’s official magazine, the automaker's Technical director Roberto Fedeli said that people inside the company feel the term “supercar” isn’t strong enough for these cars. “We call them ‘the special cars’”, he said. “Let’s refer to them as our ‘specials’”.

Does the Ferrari F150's Front End Remind You of the SRT Viper?


Yes, yes, we know that we haven't seen the new Ferrari F150 (that's Maranello's official code-name) in its entirety and that depending on your point of view, you can probably find similarities between each and every passenger car, but for the sake of conversation, we'd like to pass on a question, which came up from one of our readers.

No, we are not talking about the "Whale shark?" remark on our post with the first official teasers of the F150, but "The Italian Viper?" comment that followed.

Ferrari Teases Enzo Replacement in its Official Magazine


Despite the fact that the car we've been calling the Ferrari F70 will be produced in limited numbers and, if its forebear is anything to go by, you’ll have to be invited to spend an obscene amount of cash on one (don’t bother calling Maranello – they’ll call you…), Ferrari has let a couple of images, as well new info slip through about its new hypercar.

Posted in the official Ferrari magazine, the images show the front and rear ends of the Enzo replacement that bears the F150 codename.

Could This be the First Teaser of Ferrari's New F70 Flagship Supercar?


A shadowy image of a red sports car displayed on a large screen, which some believe could be previewing the new Ferrari flagship codenamed F70, has been making the internet rounds in the last 24 hours.

At the time being, we can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of the F70 picture that first appeared on a Ferrari fan page on Facebook.

Scoop: Ferrari 458 "Monte Carlo" and F70 Allegedly Filmed on the Fiorano Track


There's an unconfirmed rumor going around the net that Ferrari is working on a track successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale and the 430 Scuderia models based on the current 458 Italia named the "Monte Carlo".

It is a prototype of this model that the folks over at the Dutch forums Autogespot claim to have filmed racing around the Italian brand's Fiorano test track together with a prototype for the F70, which is what the media has been calling the Enzo's V12 hybrid replacement, due to be revealed next year, possibly as early as the Detroit motor show.

Ferrari Reportedly Planning to Lift the Veil Off F70 Hybrid at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show


There's a lot we know about Ferrari's next hypercar, but there's also a lot we don't. If we are to believe a report from Inside Line, then we can add the venue where the unveiling of the car we've come to call the F70 (even though the name has not been confirmed yet) will take place to the list of things we know.

The news site said the Ferrari F70's world premiere in front of a public audience will be held at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit next January.

If true, then it’s more likely than not that Ferrari will give us our first online look of the hypercar towards the end of this year.

Ferrari Navigator Pissed Off at FXX Driver and he Shows it


Sitting behind the wheel of a special Ferrari doesn't necessarily mean that you are actually going to be treated like royalty.

Case in point, Ferrari's exclusive FXX program that kicked off in 2005. For a paltry $1.8 million, 29 handpicked special clients could enter the program, which included a track-only racer based on the Enzo that's powered by a 6.2-litre V12 producing 848Hp (860PS) at 9,500rpm in Evoluzione trim.

Ferrari Reveals Enzo’s Successor Carbon Fiber Chassis at the Paris Motor Show [w/Videos]


Having renewed its entire range in the past two years with the launch of the 458 coupe and Spyder, the FF, the F12Berlinetta and the revised California Coupe-Cabriolet, one would think that Ferrari would just sit and wait for its customers to form an orderly queue and the cash to start flowing in.

However, since the 400th and final Enzo rolled out of Maranello in 2004, the prancing horse lacks a true flagship that will continue the tradition that started with the 288 GTO and continued with the F40, F50 and the Enzo models.
