Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - FERRARI F12TDF LOOKS AND SOUNDS AMAZING IN OFFICIAL VIDEO - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666





Ferrari set tongues wagging when they announced the F12tdf back in October. Now the Italian automaker has dropped an official promo video for the bright yellow beast.

Based on the F12 Berlinetta, the Ferrari F12tdf pays homage to the Tour de France – not the two-wheeled one that’s famous today, but the original endurance road race that Ferrari dominated in the 1950s and 1960s. The F12tdf boasts a 770 horsepower V12 with a 7-speed F1 Dual-Clutch gearbox, which you can see in all its glory in the video above.

This is Ferrari doing what Ferrari does best. Top performance (0-60 in 2.9 seconds), sensual styling and a limited edition production run of only 799 units have already set the F12tdf to be something special.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - Koenigsegg Says the One:1 Would Obliterate the Hybrid Supercars - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666





There has recently been an onslaught of hybrid supercar comparisons. There's also been a series of videos comparing the big three hybrids to the Bugatti Veyron and Pagani Huayra. But one manufacturer has been conspicuously absent from these tests.
Koenigsegg.

And in a post on their own blog, Koenigsegg wants to remind the world that its supercars would absolutely dominate in any of these comparisons, and they realize that humble bragging about themselves isn't always the most flattering thing, but sometimes it has to be done.

Disclaimer: It would normally be considered somewhat impolite for a company such as ours to talk about our vehicle's performance this way. This is why we don't usually talk directly about competitor cars when we do performance tests. We let the figures speak for themselves. However, in this instance, with one of our customers writing to us directly about this, we thought it important to say something, primarily to provide reassurance to our customers about the cars that they are buying.​

 Koenigsegg says that the manufacturer-listed 0 to 186 mph times for the 918 (19.9 seconds), P1 (16.5 seconds), and LaFerrari (15 seconds) would be destroyed by their cars, especially after the recent video tests showed these cars run up to seven seconds slower than the times the manufacturers claimed.
We are on the record – with video support – as having achieved a 14.53 second time for a 0-300kmh sprint. That time is half-a-second faster than the fastest manufacturer-claimed time from the #HolyTrinity cars.

That was with an Agera R in 2011.

We are also on the record – with video support – as having achieved an11.922 second time for a 0-300kmh sprint. That's a full three seconds faster than the fastest #HolyTrinity claimed time.

That was earlier in 2015 with the One:1
There is no doubt that the One:1, Agera, and the upcoming Regera are insanely fast. Now we just need to see them go up against the rest of their competition in a straight fight.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - VIDEO: CHRIS HARRIS TESTS THE FERRARI LA FERRARI, MCLAREN P1 AND PORSCHE 918 SPYDER - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666






ONLY AFTER the phone calls and arm twisting had ended, disputes over tyre choice were settled, the fee for hiring the Portimao race circuit had been agreed and enough hotel rooms were booked could battle commence between the Ferrari La Ferrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder.

All three cars were supplied by the respective manufacturers and represent the pinnacle of their engineering know-how. The referee for the shoot out between the so-called Holy Trinity was Chris Harris, motoring journalist and You Tube video presenter.

Actually, that's not quite true; the ultimate referee was the VBOX data logging equipment that was fitted to each car for recording its timed hot laps. Also present were racing drivers Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti.
The objectives seemed simple enough: find out which supercar went fastest against the stopwatch on a flying lap of the 2.9 mile of the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve - better known as Portimao near the southern coast of Portugal; and decide which of the million pound machines was the most enjoyable to drive.

Setting the lap time was Chris Harris - and if you don't want to know the result, don't read on. In the end, the McLaren P1 posted a best of 1 minute 53.57 seconds, the Porsche 918 Spyder was just behind it, at 1 minute 53.98 seconds and finally came the flying Ferrari, with a time of 1 minute 54.25 seconds.
Harris sums up the staggering performance of the Holy Trinity cars, saying "I have never driven cars like these; no racing cars, nothing."

Tiff Needell confesses he's never driven any of the three cars before, and says he's looking for driving pleasure and "couldn't give a doodle about what's underneath".
Marino Franchitti, a professional sports car racer, admitted that it took a while for his brain to catch up with their speed, saying "they are so savagely fast," and adding "The moment I'd driven all three I said, 'Yep, I need all three.'"

Harris declares the four-wheel drive Porsche 918 Spyder - reviewed here by Jeremy Clarkson - to be "a bit scary at times. You're aware there's computers and people with big foreheads have been playing with things, and I'm not entirely sure what it's doing at times - but my, my, is it effective."

Whereas the Ferrari gets his vote for sheer acceleration in a straight line. "The straight line performance I think is the greatest here. It feels the fastest but it also feels the most exciting. You can't match this for majesty."

The McLaren comes in for praise for its handling. Harris feels it's the easiest handling McLaren yet - quite a feat for a 903bhp, rear-wheel drive machine.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - Video: Ferrari 599 GTO and Lamborghini Aventador go Head-to-Head - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666







While the Ferrari 599 GTO is the hardcore variant of the 599 range and the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is the entry-level version from the expanding Aventador range, the two are rivals in every sense of the word. Just which of the two is fastest however?

Well GTboard recently had the opportunity to gather a black 599 GTO and pitted it against an Arancio Argos Lamborghini Aventador on the drag strip. While both cars utilise naturally-aspirated V12 engines, the Aventador manages to pump out 30 hp more thanks to its additional 0.5-litres of capacity.

Due to the Aventador’s all-wheel drive system, it has an obvious acceleration advantage from a standing start. To overcome this significant drivetrain difference, a rolling race was conducted starting from 50 km/h.
We won’t ruin the result but rest assured, it is very, very close!

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - Ford vs. Ferrari: How Ford Won in the Greatest Race in the World - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666


Ford GT Page 171

The Ford GT is among the most legendary cars to emerge from an American stable in the history of, well, cars. Born on the circuit (and not just any, but the equally legendary Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe), the GT transcended popular volume-sellers like the Corvette, Mustang, Charger, and other local muscle of the day.
“Since 1969, if it’s sleek, mid-engined, and American, it better be as good as the Ford GT40. It looked so good that when Ford unveiled the [later iteration of the] GT, it looked almost identical to its 40-year-old predecessor,” said Derek Sapienza in our profile of the beast. “Its dominance on the track was so impressive that it’s one of the few Americans mentioned among the all-time performance greats, and it’s stranger-than-fiction story is so impressive, that in the annals of automotive history, it could be the greatest automotive tale to ever come from our shores,” he continued.

There’s no better time to revisit the history of such an incredible car than now, as Ford plans its return to Le Mans in 2016. Thanks to Motorbooks, doing so hasn’t been possible in such a thorough and well-illustrated manner:Ford GT: How Ford Silenced Critics, Humbled Ferrari, and Conquered Le Mans is a comprehensive review of how this icon of American engineering was initially created. If you know of a gearhead with a penchant for American cars, it’s a must-have companion to that engine block coffee table in his or her living room.
Author Preston Lerner compiles the ridiculously detailed history of the greatest American race car ever, but here’s the rundown. Again, Derek Sapienza:
The GT40’s story begins in 1963. This was a pre-Mustang Ford, when its hottest car was the giant “R-Code” Galaxie 500, a 450 horsepower monster tuned to meet NASCAR and NHRA standards. But the company was already aiming higher — it was in the final stages of buying Ferrari from its mercurial namesake, a move that would have turned the Blue Oval into an international powerhouse overnight. Enzo Ferrari had long resented his company’s production cars and saw them as little more than a necessity to raise funds for his racing team. Ferrari was eager to sell, but with one stipulation: that he retain control of racing operations. But he had met his match in the equally difficult Henry “Hank the Deuce” Ford II, who wanted all of Ferrari, and said he would refuse to compete Ferraris against Fords in races like the Indianapolis 500. Outraged, Ferrari broke off the talks, leaving Ford with nothing but millions of dollars in lawyer and auditing fees. The Deuce retaliated by issuing a directive to his performance department: develop a car to destroy Ferrari on the track, and do it now.

America had a vibrant racing culture at the time, but internationally, the scene was dominated by the Italians, Germans, and British. The GT not only put Ford on the map, but put America on the radar as a force to be reckoned with on the international race scene.
Lerner, who is a regular contributor for Automobile Magazine, spins a compelling narrative that not only provides the history of the car, but offers a window into the divisive politics that dominated manufacturer-backed racing in the 1960s. Had Enzo Ferrari not been the “vain, domineering, and egotistical” man that he was, and had Henry Ford II not taken Ferrari’s rejection as a personal insult, we’d probably be without one of the greatest legends of American racing today.

The GT lives on — it was revitalized in 2005, and the brand-new model was dropped at the 2015 North American International Auto Show earlier this year. The latter dropped the traditional V8 for a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, but in true Ferrari-beating form, it’s expected to make in excess of 600 horsepower in legal street-spec.
Though its looks unmistakably like the GT40 and GT road cars of the past, the new model doesn’t capture the grit, sweat, and fervor that went into developing the original GT. There were no obvious politics aside from wanting to resurrect a legend, no spat with Ferrari that drove the company to develop it. It was designed with 3D modeling, in clean workshops with cutting-edge equipment and industrial wind tunnels. The original was done out of the parts bin, in pit lanes through trial and error. You don’t see that kind of engineering anymore these days.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - DRIVEN + VIDEO: So, What Is The All-New Ferrari F12tdf REALLY Like To Drive? - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666







This is the Ferrari F12tdf, a faster, lighter and more powerful special edition of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

Ferrari says the car has been created in homage to the legendary Tour de France road races, which it dominated in the 1950s and 1960s with the likes of the 1956 250 GT Berlinetta.



The F12tdf is described as “the ultimate expression of the concept of an extreme road car that is equally at home on the track”. Just 799 examples will be built.

The car keeps the same 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine as the regular F12 Berlinetta, but power has been boosted from 730bhp to 770bhp at 8500rpm, while torque has increased from 509lb ft to 520lb ft at 6750rpm. But the changes don't stop there.

Find out what they've done to make the incredible Ferrari F12 even better - and join Matt Prior on board as he discovers what it's like to drive.

DRIVEN + VIDEO: So, What Is The All-New Ferrari F12tdf REALLY Like To Drive?

Un mostro? Ferrari’s F12 is not a car that ever struck me as wanting for power. It really doesn’t feel like it needs more nor, at least without significant modification, should it be given it. But here we are: the Ferrari F12tdf, a special version of the F12, limited in production but unlimited in ambition. 

It’s called F12tdf to reference the old Tour de France road race, which Ferraris won quite a few times, but only ‘F12tdf’ in name and not actually ‘F12 Tour de France’. The two-wheeled, pedal-powered Tour de France owns the Tour de France moniker, so only the Tour de France can actually say Tour de France. 

Follow?
Anyway, the F12tdf it is, and it gets lots more power than an F12, and, thankfully, plenty of other modifications to go with it. Ferrari’s special 12-cylinder car program has in the past provided us with the 599 GTO, of which 599 were made.
Ferrari suggests the 799 tdfs that will roll away from Maranello will be just as extreme, providing a front-engine Ferrari V12 with hitherto unmatched levels of agility. There are several ways you can make a car feel more agile, and Ferrari has done all of them.
One is adding more poke: so the F12tdf gets 770bhp instead of 730bhp, thanks mostly to an easier-breathing inlet on the 6.3-litre engine and race-derived mechanical rather than hydraulic tappets, which are noisier but lighter and allow a higher rev limit – some 8900rpm.
Another method is to reduce weight, so the F12tdf is 110kg lighter than the F12, thanks to the removal of much of the interior (Alcantara and carbonfibre replaces leather and aluminum), and the replacement of much of the aluminum bits on the outside with carbonfibre.
But the easiest way to introduce agility to a car is simply to fit it with massive front tires. At the start of the development process, Ferrari did just that - fitting 315-section F12 rear wheels to the front, and then even slick tires to the front, to see what the result was like.
Hilarious but perilously unstable is the short of it, which meant Ferrari couldn’t just leave it like that. And here its marketing men rather like to use an aerospace analogy: in the same way that a modern fighter jet is designed to be inherently unstable so that it’s incredibly agile, so too was the F12tdf.
And where a modern fighter uses electronic control systems to make it flyable, Ferrari uses active rear steering to make the F12tdf drive able again. They call the system a ‘virtual short wheelbase’, or ‘passo corto virtuale’ to be precise, although it’s not strictly accurate in either language; it’s the wider front tires, 285 section rather than 255s, that increase the agility and make the car feel like it’s shorter.
The ZF rear steer system, which weighs around 5kg, can add up to a degree of toe in or out thanks to electromechanical actuators acting on a toe link, and almost always turns in the same direction as the fronts (except at maneuvering speeds), is used to put stability back in.
In effect, that lengthens rather than shortens the wheelbase again, but semantics aside, the aerospace analogy isn’t unfounded. Either way, Ferrari likes the system so much it’ll use it again in future. So significant are these things that beyond them the changes are mere details.
The aerodynamics are improved – the car’s a little longer as a result, while the rear track is wider because of the active toe changes. Gear ratios are 5-6% shorter, enough to reduce the 0-62mph time to 2.9sec, and spring rates are stiffer, by 20% – a difference you’ll feel “within a metre”.
The price, if you’ve been invited to buy an F12tdf – and you’ll own at least five other Ferraris and be known by the company “very well” if you have – is £339,000.
What's it like?: 
Intriguing. And if that isn’t the word as immediately positive as you’d expect about a car from a manufacturer that can do scarcely little wrong at the moment, I share your surprise. 
Ferrari admits that its special V12 models aren’t simple to jump into and drive quickly – they’re not like the standard mid-engine V8s – and the F12tdf takes some learning before you feel completely comfortable with it on a circuit. I’ll come back to that.
Because on the road, of course, dynamic extremes aren’t such a bother. Yes, you do notice the firmness of the ride and the fact that if you flick the dampers to ‘bumpy road’ mode there’s seemingly less of a difference than in a standard Ferrari. It’s always firm: not crashy, but you know what’s beneath you. 
The F12tdf retains the F12’s two-turn lock-to-lock steering rack, but because of the wider front tires and stiffer suspension, it feels more connected and responsive than a regular F12. So in many ways it’s easier to drive; out in the hillside roads around Maranello the F12tdf steers with ease and precision; it’s a big car but one that’s easy to place. 
And it has an utterly magnificent powertrain. Untroubled by turbochargers yet still developing 80% of the engine’s torque from 2000rpm, its response is fantastic, it makes a glorious noise like an F1 car of old and the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox has had a few tweaks to clean up and shorten the shift times. 
At the top end of the rev range the response is on occasion too sharp – even Ferrari’s test drivers think as much – but such is the significance of the 'tdf' name and the program that the engineers and marketers want the F12tdf to feel like there’s some racing car in it. Quite a few racing drivers would be delighted to find their race cars had a powertrain as strong and responsive as this. It is phenomenal.
It’s on a circuit, though, nearer the car’s limits, where the idiosyncrasies of the F12tdf’s handling, and the response of the engine, come further into consideration.
In most front-engine, rear-driven cars, you know what you’re going to get on a track. You have to settle the nose on approach to a bend, probably trail the brakes slightly to reduce understeer, which in turn can unsettle the rear, and then you drive through nicely under power, applying just the amount you want in order to adjust the attitude of the car. An Aston Martin V12 Vantage, for example, is as simple as they get.
The F12tdf isn’t quite like that. Partly that’s because there’s not really any understeer to drive around in the first place. The additional front tire width makes it feel hyper-agile, so in faster corners it darts for the apex, but then, when you expect the rear to become unsettled because of the speed with which the nose has dived into a bend, the active rear steer intervenes and makes the back end more stable, keeping the rear trimmed to the same apex as the fronts at a speed a car without the system fitted just couldn’t match. 
Mind you, with any significant application of throttle – and more or less any throttle application is significant in a car with this power and response – it will still light up the rears, at which point the increased speed at which you’re travelling, the electric response of the engine and whatever the rear is up to conspire to make it feel not altogether natural. 
With more familiarity, you learn to anticipate the F12tdf’s characteristics, drive with lighter, more finger tippy touches and smaller inputs, and then it becomes a deeply rewarding thing. But it’s not a car – like the docile 488 GTB is – that you can just enjoy easily.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - Ferrari 488 GTE and 488 GT3 revealed during Finali Mondiali at Mugello - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666




Ferrari 488 GTE and 488 GT3 revealed during Finali Mondiali at Mugello


Ferrari has taken the wraps off the 2016-spec 488 GTE and 488 GT3 racecars at Mugello this weekend during the Finali Mondiali 2015.

After coming out with the turbocharged488 GTB road-going supercar earlier this year, Ferrari’s motorsport division has introduced two racing derivatives which will compete starting next year in various series. The 3902cc V8 engine inside the standard car is rated at 670 PS (493 kW) whereas in the GT3 version develops 550 PS (404 kW). As for the 488 GTE, this one has a larger 3996cc configuration of the same engine with 485 PS (357 kW).



Both racecars come with a left-hand drive configuration and benefit from an aluminum chassis along with a safety roll cage made from steel while at the back there’s an adjustable single profile wing and diffuser.
Speaking to Motorsport.com, Ferrari’s GT and Corse Clienti racing director Antonello Coletta said the objective is to make 150 cars over a course of four or five years, emphasizing the main difference between the 488 and the previous 458 is represented by the adoption of a turbocharged engine while the increased aerodynamic efficiency is also an important upgrade for the new 488 racecars. Coletta went on to specify the cars will compete in the most important races in United States and in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - This Ferrari Daytona Competizione was an out-of-the-box Le Mans challenger - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666



 

 The Ferrari factory might not have initially realized the potential of the Daytona as a GT competition car, but fortunately Luigi Chinetti did…
Out of the box

Ahead of the 1971 Le Mans 24 Hours, Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) set about converting a regular Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona into a brutal GT racing car. With no time to test or develop the car, it arrived at La Sarthe unproven, but with a strong chassis and an enormous V12, there was certainly potential. A begrudging ‘Coco’ Chinetti drove the car (he’d expected to drive a five-litre 512 S) with Bob Grossman, and the pair amazingly finished fifth overall, behind only the more powerful and aerodynamic prototypes. Ferrari soon recognized the achievement, and began to prepare a number of cars at the factory for privateer teams. 



Now, this significant Ferrari is being offered for sale by the Keno Brothers at their Rolling Sculpture sale, taking place on 19 November in New York. The thought of returning the car to Le Mans for the Classic (for which it is eligible) is tantalising. Estimated at an impressive 4.9-5.9m US dollars, we think it might be worth it for the spine-tingling roar of the V12 alone. Watch the video above and you’ll know exactly where we’re coming from.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - LaFerrari Crashes Into Row Of Parked Cars In Hungary - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666






One LaFerrari driver ended up driving the rare supercar into three other cars in downtown Budapest over the weekend. According to local news reports, the driver emerged from a Ferrari dealership in the Hungarian capital and moments later lost control of the car.

It ended up hitting three parked cars before coming to a stop. Fortunately no one was hurt and the damage to the car doesn’t appear too serious. No doubt it will be a costly repair bill for the insurer.

This particularly LaFerrari was registered in neighboring Slovakia. Immediately after the crash, the driver jumped out and removed the license plates—possibly to save himself from humiliation on Internet forums around the world. You can see more photos taken at the crash scene over at Wörthersee GTI-Treffen.

Ferrari only built 499 LaFerraris and this is the fourth crash that we know of involving one of the cars. The first took place in Monaco almost immediately after deliveries of the car commenced back in 2014. Two more took place this year in France and China, respectively.

Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - Video: Chris Harris Drives Ferrari's 488 Spider, Makes Some Interesting Observations - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666






As a motoring journalist, being able to drive a car that you can sort of analyze through the eyes of its direct rivals is perhaps the best way to stay objective.

Without making direct comparisons, there would be no point to seeing just how fast, agile or well-built a car can be, and when we're talking about Ferrari-levels of greatness, the reviewer definitely needs to know where the limits are in order to compose himself and not sound like the ultimate super-fan.

Chris Harris clearly has enough experience to do so, which is more than obvious by him saying that he rather appreciates how McLaren managed to make the 650S behave exactly the same in both Coupe and Spider form. He then points out how the Coupe version of the 488 GTB feels stiffer than the Spider; the question is, does this makes for a less satisfying driving experience?

On paper, the 669 PS Ferrari 488 Spider is just as fast as its McLaren rival - both cars sitting within 4 km/h (2 mph) of each other in terms of top speeds and with both able to hit the 100 km/h (62 mph) mark in 3 seconds flat. However, it will be even more interesting when the two Italian supercars get together for a proper comparison test. Until then, this will have to suffice.
