Video: Ferrari 250 GTO Replica Powered By A BMW V12

Remember our two female readers that sent us images of their Nissan 280Z based and BMW V12 powered Ferrari 250 GTO replica last week? Well our handy-gals also took the time to send us a couple of videos of their creation (which we condensed into one) proving that the V12 powered Ferrari 250 GTO replica is fully drivable. Sounds awesome doesn't it? See our article on Michelle and Haley’s 250 GTO along with a full image gallery here.

Ferrari P4/5: James Glickenhaus And His Hot Italian Mistress

We’re sure you remember it; the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina, a one-off commissioned by American collector, James Glickenhaus, initially released to the public at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours followed by an international debut at the 2006 Paris Show. The P4/5 project started off in 2005 when Glickenhaus purchased a $1m Ferrari Enzo which he immediately sent to Pininfarina's Italian design studio for a complete makeover.

Being a fan and an owner of a rebuilt Ferrari 330 P3/4, Glickenhaus ordered Pininfarina to create a modern interpretation of the legendary 60’s race car. Obviously, to say that Pininfarnia simply covered the Enzo with a new outfit is the definition of an understatement. Check out this unique supercar in action and see what Glickenhaus has to say about it in this video that was shot by Jynxproductions in Westchester County for the German car show “auto motor and sport tv”. -Ferrari P4/5 High-Res Wallpapers after the jump

Made In Heaven: Ferrari Enzo vs McLaren F1

Believe it or not, but a Fifth Gear viewer loaned his Ferrari Enzo and McLaren F1 supercars to Tiff Needell for a day so he could answer all those petty questions you desperately wanted to know but were too ashamed to ask: How does a million supercar drive on public roads? What about maintenance and insuring costs? Follow the jump to see the video

Ferrari 360 Spider: Another One Bites The Dust

A Ferrari 360 Spider takes a shortcut through the woods in Sweden going over 250 km/h (155mph) -or at least that’s what the guy who uploaded the video on Youtube says. Seeing the dismantled Ferrari 360 Spider we’d say the driver wasn’t going that fast. Nevertheless, still a terrible accident. Here’s a question that popped up in our heads while we were watching the video; what’s the percentage of Ferrari's that end up in junkyards?

AutoPorn: Ferrari F40 vs Bugatti Veyron Video

2008 Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor Evoluzione

If you know your stuff on Novitec then you’ll have noticed that the magic word here is “Evoluzione” which translates to an addition of 20Hp over the “stock” Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor’s 636Hp. The German tuner managed to raise output to 656Hp by revising the compressor and updating the engine management system. Funny enough, the Evoluzione still retains the same performance figures as the stock version with 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) coming in 3,7 sec while maximum speed continues to stand at 216mph - 348 km/h. Follow the jump for more pics, specs and an intriguing Video showing off a ranting Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor sprinting from 0 to 155 mph (250Km/h).

Video: Actor Eddie Griffin demolishes a Ferrari Enzo during a rehearsal

For the love of God; can someone please stop all these super-cheery, car-ignorant folks from destroying one Enzo after another? This one fell into the hands of actor Eddie Griffin who was caught on tape crashing the 1.2 million USD Ferrari Enzo during a rehearsal for a charity-racing event to promote his movie “Redliners”. Come to think of it, I really doubt that 1.2 million bucks in advertising would have gathered this much -worldwide- attention... Via: Jalopnik

Ferrari F1... inspired Chopper!

What is das? Don’t tell me that Paul Teutul Sr. of OCC suddenly became a Schumacher fan and started drinking Pinot Grigio from bohemian crystal glasses? For the love of bling-bling, we certainly hope not. While we didn’t manage to find out who built this one of a kind chopper which is powered by a 140Hp strong Triumpg 955 engine, we learned that it went on sale on e-bay a couple of months ago for 18.000 USD (14.000 Euros).

Mama mia!: German gets aroused when he takes a Ferrari 599GTB from 0 to 315km/h

Hahaha! Look at that chubby Deutsch fellow go nuts mixing German with Italian phrases when he takes a 620Hp Ferrari 599GTB from standstill to 315km/h (196mph) on a public road. Isn't it hysterical? Well, actually, come to think of it, once you get over the dude and start noticing the needle go bazurk, it doesn't look so funny in the end. Damn, makes you feel jealous doesn’t it...

Magnum PI: Ferrari 308 GTS vs Dodge Challenger

All I can say is just read Tom Selleck's (aka, Magnum) self-dialogue during the chase! "About the time my hart started to pump again, I realised that whoever was on my tale didn't have enough car to catch me so I started worrying about wrecking the Ferrari. I know its crazy but that's what was going through my head. How could I pay for a total 60.000$ Ferrari ? via: Jalopnik
