"Ferrari Enzo and 16M"

This incredible picture of a cherry Ferrari Enzo (I think the actual color name is called Rosso rubino) followed by a white Ferrari 430 scuderia 16M was taken by JeremySW <<< check out his FlickR photostream! What a great shot! Not only is this my favorite car, but the color is really beautiful on it and very rare! I think it's the only Enzo in this color worldwide! Of course, it matches well with the 16M behind :)

"Ferrari F50"

This incredible yellow Ferrari F50 spyder (if I ever get one, it's gotta be in this color hehe) was spotted in the USA by brilliant photographer GHG Photography << check out his FlickR photostream. What an incredible car! I'm definitely LOVING this one! What do YOU think?

Ferrari Superamerica 45: unique !

The Ferrari Superamerica 45.

As you might know, James Glickenhaus was one of the first Ferrari clients to have his unique Ferrari, the P4/5, a model which was solely created for him, on his demand, and according to his wishes. Ever since, Ferrari has reinforced its personalization program (called "Special Projects"). In other words, the prancing horse brand works with a few lucky and hand-picked selected clients to bring to life their OWN Ferrari (for a price, of course. Some say the base price is over 2 million dollars, but as of today I can't confirm). They say a few of those exclusive and unique Ferrari are already in the works, but this is one of the first model to come out of the personalization program, and that has been revealed to the general public (that I know of). The one-off supercar will make its official debut at the Villa d'Este Concorsa d'eleganza 2011, in Italy (which starts tomorrow, may 20th).

The lucky client who got to make his own Ferrari is Peter Kalikow, a Ferrari collector from the USA. He has been a Ferrari client for over 45 years (hence the name of the car). The car is heavily influenced by the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, which is based on, and with the Ferrari 575 Superamerica. Needless to say, I can't help but see a 599 SA Aperta as well. The color is called "Blu Antille", and apparently matches the color of another one of the owner's Ferrari (a Ferrari 400 Superamerica cabriolet). Discover the rest in the pictures (more to come, I hope)!

Incredible gathering in China! PART 2

Incredible gathering in China!

Read PART 1 to know more.

Again, thanks to REVIO for finding pictures of this awesome event and for sharing. This article is PART 2 of the incredible +500 supercar gathering at the Shanghai International Circuit, apparently for some event called "super race" (if you know more, please don't hesitate to tell me). Most of the greatest supercars on the planet were there: Pagani Zonda R, Ferrari Enzo, Aston Martin One-77, Pagani Zonda Cinque, Bugatti Veyron... And many more. In this part 2, I'll share more pictures with you! :)

As you can see, there wasn't only ONE Ferrari Enzo, but there were TWO. The black "Tiger" Ferrari Enzo is pretty awesome. I remember seeing pictures of it a long time ago, but never seeing it again! It's so lovely with the smoked tail-lights! We also thought there only was ONE Cinque. But there were TWO. What kind of incredible event is this??? I want to get invited next time haha!

Enjoy the pictures (click to enlarge)

turquoise Lamborghini LP670 SV launch control

LP670 SV going wild!

Another video from summer 2010, before the SV had an accident and changed a little bit (adding "italian" themes to the car, such as italian-flag-brake calipers!)... Great video from Marchettino of this car getting a bit crazy!

"Coming to a Harrods near you"

This is an old picture by famous car photographer Alex Penfold << check-out his FlickR photostream!! It's one of the very few shots of the turquoise one-off Pagani Zonda UNO, which was originally ordered by the Al-Thani family, but eventually it didn't work out and they didn't take delivery of the car, sadly. Oh well. At least we have the pictures to enjoy! :)

Bijan's Bugatti Veyron GrandSport

Bijan's last dream

Some of you might know Bijan Pakzad as part of the fashion world: the successful persian designer is well-known for his store on Rodeo Drive, in Los Angeles. But that's absolutely not what interests us here. Bijan was also a huge car enthusiast and, just like RRR has his black and orange theme, Bijan had a theme of his own that made him stand-out among all others. Indeed, his cars were all black (like his SLR) or yellow (like his son's F430 or his Rolls Royce Phantom drophead) or black and yellow, with the yellow parts being predominant. His black and yellow Bugatti Veyron with the "Bocca della verita" tagged on the hood (the bearded guy, check the pictures down below) was often parked in front of his store, almost making it a "must see" in LA for car fans.

Sadly, the man died a few months ago. But what we didn't know, is that Bijan was working on a little personnal project of his. The designer teamed-up with Bugatti to create a special edition of the GrandSport through the vast client's program, which was destined for him. As you will discover in the following pictures and video, the yellow dominates this GrandSport, and we find again the "Bocca della verita" on the hood. One of the craziest features of this car is the iPad that is placed between the two seats (see picture down below).

You be the judge of this one-off Bugatti Veyron (but then again, isn't every Veyron a one-off lol?) and decide wether you like it or not! I for one, don't hate it nor love it.

Incredible gathering in China!

Incredible gathering in China!

Want more pictures? Read PART 2.

First of all, I would deeply like to thank REVIO for finding pictures of this awesome event and for sharing. I had no other choice but to make an article about it on my blog!

This incredible gathering happened may 14th 2011 at the Shanghai International Circuit, apparently for some event called "super race" (if you know more, please don't hesitate to tell me). In this event, more than 500 supercars raced in the Shanghai track! And not just any random car: Pagani Zonda R (only 10 units in the world), Bugatti Veyron SuperSport World Record Edition (only 5 units in the world), Pagani Zonda Cinque (only 5 units in the world), Koenigsegg Agera, Aston Martin One-77 (only 77 units in the world), Gumpert Apollo, Bugatti Veyron GrandSport, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari 599 GTO...

As well as some really rare supercars especially made for the chinese market!... such as the Ferrari 599 GTB China Edition, or the Lamborghini LP670-4 SV China Edition... This really seemed like an incredible event!! I wish I was there lol.

... and many many more...
