710hp Ferrari 599 GTO by Romeo Ferraris

If you have a Ferrari 599 GTO and think that 670hp is not enough for you, now you can make a visit to Romeo Ferraris in Italy. The famous tuner of Milan has developed a series of mods for the GTO with very good results. As you know, the 6.2L V12 produces 670hp and you can increase the power and performance with the choice of 2 Steps.

The first " light " step includes a sport air filter and a new exhaust giving to the car 15hp and 13nm of torque.

The second step is really gritty and includes a sport air filter, full exhaust system (new manifolds, central tube and muffler) that is linked to a new ECU reflash, increasing the power up to 710hp and 668nm of torque (+40hp and +48nm)!

The tuning package includes also aestethics modifications which provide the use of carbon fibre on the extractor, side mirrors and the wing. Check out the official video of the dyno run in Romeo Ferraris' workshop and the official pics below:

Tamara Ecclestone and her Ferrari 599 GTO

For her 27th birthday, the beautiful Tamara Ecclestone asked to his dad Bernie (president and CEO of F1) an expensive present. She has grown in the motorsport and sure she loves supercars, so she asked for a 320.000€ brand new Ferrari 599 GTO, grey with beige interior.

This is a picture taken while she was unwrapping the gift straight from the truck and yes, she's wearing a pajama in the middle of the road.

Then she decided to make a videoshoot with her new Ferrari and she poses for it, enjoy the pics!

Abarth 500 Venom Concept

A new sporty and mad version of the Abarth 500 is on the plan to arrive in the USA. It's called " Venom ", it's a very good name for a black scorpion full of carbon fibre. The 1.4 turbo engine of this little monster comes out the factory with 160hp, but this one is tuned up around 190/200hp and with a great use of carbon fibre. This car is the result of a collaboration with Mopar and Magneti Marelli. Just listen to the glorious exhaust note while sexy model Catrinel Menghia is revving it up!

Official: the Ferrari V12 Boxer Tribute

It's kinda rare to let Ferrari to make exclusively for you a special one-off. In the years they've made just five unique creations.. in 2006 the P4/5 based on the Ferrari Enzo, the 2008 Ferrari SP1 based on the F430, the Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta in 2009, the Ferrari Superamerica 45 in 2011 and this is it, the Ferrari V12 Boxer Tribute, another special Ferrari made for the famous singer Eric Clapton! Looks like the official name is SP12 EC (Eric Clapton).

There have been rumors for over a year about a special Ferrari 458 Italia with the Ferrari 599 V12 engine ordered by Eric Clapton, and this is the final result of his request. We've always heard that he wanted a 458 Italia with a V12 engine, but this one has still the same V8 of the 458. The base is taken from the 458 Italia but with a different style, just like the name says, it's a tribute of many different Ferraris of the past. For example, the headlights are taken from the Enzo, the front grille reminds of the 512bb, the back is reminds the 288 GTO and 308. I have always loved the one-off Ferraris, what do you think about?
