The 17th and 18th of July, the belgian circuit of SPA Francorchamps has been protagonist of the Ferrari Corse Clienti programmes, an event held by Ferrari that let their rich customers have fun with their expensive toys, such as the Ferrari 599XX EVO, FXX EVO and even the F1! Too bad the weather didn't helped alot, but for the real petrolheads this wasn't a problem, and so here below a video-report from several spotters that had the pleasure to hear these amazing cars.

Let's start with the Ferrari 599XX EVO by spotter Gumbal that shows the massive power of the engine and of the brakes!

First person F1 drive

Today and tomorrow, the circuit of SPA Francorchamps is protagonist of the Ferrari Corse Clienti, involving the customers with the XX Programmes and the F1. We have allready seen in the past some onboard footages of the 599XX and FXX, but how does it feel to drive an F1 in one of the most beautiful racetracks in the world? Racing driver Lucas di Grassi takes us for an exciting first person lap. He said the camera was partly blocking his view, kudos to Lucas for driving on the wet track with using just one eye.

Subaraudi 5-Series

A very confused man is selling on Ebay UK his modified 1993 Subaru Impreza WRX. Probably he was looking for a sporty japanese car with the prestige of a german sedan, but the result is certainly a ricer mix of 3 popular cars; a 1993 Subaru Impreza with the back of the 2003 BMW 5-Series E60 and the front of the 2005 Audi A4 B7.I'm very perplexed by the way the owner is describing the car as " Lovely lovely " and that there are currently 4 bids for this " thing ".

Terrible Ferrari 612 Scaglietti crash

A terrible crash involving a red Ferrari 612 Scaglietti took place in Moscow, Russia. It seems that the car crashed sideways against a huge pole by splitting the car in two distant parts. It's a massive crash, probably caused by the high speed. The Ferrari was driving with 4 people inside, but luckily just the driver reported minor injuries, incredible to say by watching the gallery below.

Fast Huayra!

Wait until the end before to exult..

This has to be for sure an epic fail! Italian biker from Yahama, Riccardo Russo is protagonist of a clamorous mistake that has costed to him the 1st place. He was dominating the race of the Campionato Italiano Velocità held at Mugello, he thought the race was over so just like every champion, he slowed down and exulted by showing off for the crowd and enthusiasts. Too bad that he did that in the second-last lap of the race, and when he realized that, it was too late, he finished the race in the 14th position.

Lambo driver arrested

It's more frequent to see people that loves to film themselves while driving their supercars on track and on the road. Ofcourse if you're doing it on track you don't have to worry to go fast, but if you're doing it on public streets, it's better to think twice if it's a good idea to take a video and to post it online. And this time, Mikami Tadao, owner of this Lamborghini Superleggera has been very unlucky since the video he took to himself while speeding in a tunnel 2 years ago, today it costed to him the arrest for driving over the speed limits.

After 8 years of production, over 12.000 Gallardos came out the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory making it the most-produced Lamborghini ever. Over the years Lamborghini made a 2nd generation and several editions, but what impresses more is how much marketing and work has put Lamborghini to develop and sell so many countless limited editions, let's take a look below to a quick view to all the kind of road production Gallardo they have made in chronological order:

The beginning: the 2004 Gallardo

Mclaren MP4-12C Spider

The roofless version to the Mclaren MP4-12C has finally arrived! The MP4-12C features a retractable hard top that takes just 17 seconds to convert the MP4-12C into a sexy spider supercar. The engine is the same of the coupè, a 3.8L twin turbo V8 that produces 620hp, since it's slightly heavier (40kg), the performance are a little bit lower than the coupè but you'll don't notice the difference, however the classic 0-100kph acceleration takes 3.1s (same as the coupè) but the 0-160kph takes 6.1s which is 0.1s slower and moves up to 328kph, 5kph slower.

Gumpert Apollo crash

The hillclimb of Goodwood is protagonist of another accident. The circuit is very tricky and you can't afford to make a mistake, otherwise you'll crash into the barriers. In the history there have been even fatal accidents, involving marshalls or the drivers themselfs. Luckily, the video of today doesn't show a fatal accident, still painful, a blue Gumpert Apollo going sideways and crashing at 85mph.
