VIDEO: Track Action with the Ferrari F40 LM


The heavy snowfalls paralyzing most of the northern hemisphere are just another reminder that enthusiasts will have to wait a bit until they’ll be able to enjoy their cars on the track again. In the meantime, let us provide some driving “medicine” in the form of a video that shows the Ferrari F40 LM racecar driven by former F1 driver Jacques Lafitte. Don't forget to turn up the volume to properly enjoy the video available after the break.

Pontiac Fiero Goes All Ferrari F40


Is there some sort of underground movement in Germany we don’t know about devoted to converting Pontiac Fiero’s into shoddy Ferrari knockoffs? Is this a new national pastime over there or a devious ploy by Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Audi to discredit their Italian competitors?

Whatever you may think, the Fiero-based Ferrari replica is here to stay. And, much like David Hasslehoff, there’s nowhere these things are more popular than in Germany. At least, that’s the impression that I get. Presumably built in Belgium (as it is registered there), this replica has 71,000 km (44,154 miles) on the clock, a manual transmission and a whopping 123 hp. That’s only 349 hp short of a real F40!

It Came From Japan: Ferrari F40 Stretch Limousine


Pop quiz, hot shot; what’s better than a replica Ferrari F40? If you said an actual Ferrari F40, then you are dead wrong. The correct answer is a replica Ferrari F40 limousine. Fortunately (for us), such things actually exist.

So where would one find such an automotive monstrosity? In Japan, of course! You know, the country that brought us the Mitsuoka Orochi, melon flavored chocolate and a pillow shaped like a kneeling woman’s lap.

Corvette Undergoes Freaky Transformation into Ferrari F40


Just because you can't own a real Ferrari, doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go and butcher one up for the sake of fulfilling your desires... And while this here Corvette C4-based replica of the Ferrari F40, which was spotted hiding out in a garage somewhere in Spain, isn't the worst one we've seen to date (that award probably goes to the 1980s Suzuki mini-based Faux 40), it's not a pretty sight to behold, that's for sure. More photos of the "Ferrvette" F40 clone after the jump.

6,000 Square Foot Malibu Home Offered with Ferrari F40 in its Garage


Since the housing market decided to collapse, people have been luring buyers into their properties with incentives. Vahe Hagopian, a listing agent in Malibu, even offered up his Ferrari to try to make a sale.

If someone were to buy his client's house (6,000 square feet, $4.4 million), he'd throw in a classic Ferrari F40 to sweeten the deal. Hagopian says, "Nothing is moving in this area. It's unprecedented."
