2010 Ferrari 612 GTO Concept
From a number of concept cars which in my opinion the most conspicuous is the first time after seeing this, as you see above is the Ferrari 612 GTO concept by Sasha Selipanov of Berlin, Germany.
A pure conceptual study for a top-end Ferrari, possibly a future generation of the 612 Scaglietti, Selipanov design proposal appears to borrow bits and pieces from certain supercars like the Aston Martin One-77 as well as Maranello’s own 458 Italia and the classic 250 GTO, mixed with some unique styling cues.
So, how do you comment? Do you agree with me?

2011 Ferrari 458 Challenge
Lately, the Ferrari 458 Challenge has made its world premiere debut in Maranello during the Annual Dealer Meeting. Ferrari 458 was presented the 2010 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Ferrari 458 Challenge introduces a number of important modifications to adapt it for competition use. This car use the direct injection 4497 cc V8 remains strictly in production tune, with an output of 570 hp at 9,000 rpm. Modifications have been made to the gear ratios and calibration of its dual-clutch F1 gearbox to guarantee higher torque at lower revs. It is also equipped with the E-Diff electronic differential already employed on the road-going version.
The new Ferrari 458 Challenge also has a specific suspension set-up with solid aluminium bushings, stiffer springs, single-rate dampers, centre-nut 19″ racing rims, larger dimension Pirelli slicks and a ride height lowered by 30mm all round with the new generation Brembo CCM2 brakes.
For a Ferrari Challenge model is the adoption of the F1-Trac traction control system, the most sophisticated of its kind. The F1-Trac system constantly monitors levels of grip for maximum high-performance road-holding. Two specific track-biased calibrations – wet and dry – have been developed for this application.

2010 Anderson Germany Ferrari California
Anderson Germany offered to Ferrari customers to further improve performance, exterior and interior of the Ferrari California at them. As for the interior, it’s offered by the tuner is a -you guessed it- carbon fiber trim package for the air vents, radio fascia, center console(s), door handles, rocker switches and steering wheel.
While the exterior, Anderson Germany offered carbon fiber galore, the carbon film on the alloy wheel spokes, a bodykit made up of a carbon fiber-finished front spoiler lip, side skirts, rear diffusor, rear mud guard, side air-vents and boot lid spoiler. A dark tint on the panes and rear lights round off the exterior upgrades.
Anderson Germany Ferrari California’s 4.3-liter V8 gets a 55-horsepower jump from 460HP to 515HP thanks to a recalibrated ECU and new valve controlled stainless steel exhaust system, which can be set to three different sound modes via remote control.
The package also includes electronically adjustable dampers that can lower the ride height by 35 mm or raise it by 40 mm, and a new set of light-weight alloy wheels with the outer rim painted in the color of the car, shod in 255/30 R21 tires up front and 315/22 R22 tires at the rear.

2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta
Ferrari 599 SA Aperta is a special series model of which a strictly limited number of just 80 will be built. This is presentation at the 2010 Paris International Motor Show. A true roadster which allows its occupants to enjoy the superlative emotions afforded by our signature front-engined V12 architecture in a completely open-top setting.
The aerodynamics exterior has just a light soft top designed to be resorted to only if the weather gets particularly bad. A low-slung windscreen and the fact that it crouches lower to the ground use an exceptionally aerodynamic sleekness. It is profile arches back from the A-post to two aerodynamic fins beautifully integrating the two roll-bars which themselves cleverly mimic the outline of the seats.
The chassis has been redesigned to deliver a standard of stiffness comparable to that of a closed berlinetta and there is a negligible weight difference also, thanks to work done on the chassis structure.
2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta beautifully embodies the sporty spirit of the Ferrari 599 thanks to the 670 CV engine beneath its bonnet.
In interior too is stylishly sporty with particularly sophisticated materials, trim and colours used throughout. The virtually endless combinations available guarantee that each and every SA Aperta is absolutely unique.

2010 Gemballa Ferrari Enzo MIG-U1
If yesterday the Gemballa Ferrari Enzo MIG-U1 has been little discussed in the Car Show, that this special edition cars for the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group of Dubai. Now, with the GEMBALLA MIG-U1, the automobile manufacturer once again proves that its know-how is not only limited to Porsche cars. On the basis of the already exhilarating Ferrari Enzo, the engineers developed a unique car. But even the limited edition with only 25 cars is not exclusive enough for GEMBALLA. Therefore, every single GEMBALLA MIG-U1 is individually adjusted. This ensures that there will not be any identical cars. Therefore, the specialist with its reputation for unique high-end refinement once again meets the requirements for highest individuality.
Based on the Ferrari Enzo. This car’s aerodynamics change at speed to optimize handling. Output is up to 700 hp through modified engine management and exhaust systems. The twelve cylinder engine of the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 works with an optimised motor management and an especially adjusted exhaust system. This combination allows a performance output of 700 hp (515 kW).
The especially for the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 with High-End for the interior use designed seats, the custom-made centre console and the sports steering wheel with its leather-ultra suede combination guarantee full control over the car. At the same time, the interior of this super sports car reflects pure luxury.
The impression is visible when viewed from outside the car in terms such as formula-1 racing car. The core part of the overall makeover is the entirely re-engineered aerodynamics concept by GEMBALLA. Without any exception, the manufacturer produces all components in real carbon in order to combine lowest weight with highest material strength. Please you see photos of this car.
