599 GTB Fiorano Caught Fire, Not a Fun Call to the Boss

Martin, 43, was asked to take Romans International’s 599 GTB Fiorano to the shop. On the way there while pulling up to a stop light the car “made a noise” and then poof! up in flames. The blaze was quickly brought under control and extinguished by the local fire department. But it wasn’t over for Martin, he still had to make a phone call to Paul, the owner of the car.

“He rang me and said, ‘Your car’s just gone up in flames’. At first I hoped he was joking, but I soon realised he was serious. I asked him why it had happened and he said he had no idea. Martin’s worked here since he was 15 and he’s a great guy. It’s obviously not his fault – so I’m not going to hold it against him.”

Chrome Ferrari 599 GTB

We all know the spending power in the United Arab Emirates, building man made islands in the shape of a palm tree, and the world. Constructing a ski resort in the middle of the desert.  They are definitely known for taking things that the majority of people wouldn’t dream of doing, and making it happen. This Ferrari is no different.  For most the sheer experience of owning a 599 would be enough. For a few more, they may want to customize it by adding a few tid bits here and there. Not for a Saudi man, he went as far as giving his new Ferrari Fiorano a chrome bath. This is what he ended up with.

Verde Ithaca Novitec Ferrari F430!!!

Well dreams do come true for some…YES we are talking about mine indeed. Ive always wanted to actually see a Ferrari painted in Verde Ithaca. That lime green paint job has been my all time favorite for years. I never complained only seeing it on Murcielagos or Gallardos but always wondered what it look like on a Fcar. At long last Novitec has actualy done the improbable, this F430 is stacked up like no other, the stats are more then impressive as well.

-Custom painted 20″ NF3 wheels
-Custom exotic hide and suede interior
-Custom matte finish two toned paint
-New SuperSport rear bumper
-Front Bumper
-Sport exhaust
-Side Skirts
-Rear diffuser
-Aluminum pedal set
-Black lighting

-Carbon fiber steering wheel
-707 HP and supercharger

Can you taste the “SCUDERIA” rainbow!!!

Ive compiled a small group of various 430 Scuderia pics in some of the more popular colors as well as some off beat ones. Its great to see Ferrari making cars in WACKY colors for once. Regardless if you are a fan or not of these colors on a Ferrari, one cannot deny its a positive step in the right direction for mixing it up abit!

The Plateless 599 GTB Involved in Street Race Stolen?

Just yesterday we brought you the story of the Bugatti Veyron and the Ferrari 599 GTB racing down a UK highway. CarFront has been doing some homework, and attempting to find the identities of the drivers. There may be more to this story than the what we saw on the surface, and deeper reasoning on why the black 599 wasn’t sporting a number plate and on top of that didn’t stop when a police pursuit began.

A little over a week ago a Black Ferrari 599 GTB was reported stolen in Cote d’Azur, in Monaco. A few posts popped up on the forums over at FerrariChat.com advising fellow members to please be on the look out for the car.

The post described the car as having:

• Black exterior
• Shields
• Challenge wheels
• Yellow CCB’s
• Black alcantara daytona seats
• White stiching all over
• Alcantara covered rollbar
• White cavallinos stitched in the headrests”

Obviously we can only see so much from the one picture snapped of the car, but it seems to match. So was this someone foreseeing, the possibility of running into the police while having some fun out on the highway, so plates were removed? Or is the reasoning a bit beyond that? We’ll let you draw your own conclusions, but we will let you know any new tid bits we find out.

Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari 599 GTB Street Racing

If you’re contemplating taking your Veyron out to school the little boys in their 599’s, you best know what the repercussions might be. We know a situation such as this might be, and most likely will be MUCH different if you are in the states, However in the UK, you’d be looking at 3 points on your record and a fine that’s a mere droplet compared to what you paid for the car at £60 (about $120.)

We have two blokes to thank for these numbers, that were out for a little fun in Hampshire, UK. Attention was obviously brought to the two supercars stretching their legs, and a pursuit ensued. The BMW police car got up to 140mph chasing the two, when the Veyron decided to pull over, while the 599 kept going, and ultimately got away.

“We were in hysterics when we saw the Bugatti had been stopped. The policeman had a furious look that suggested the driver was in tons of trouble.”

Said a motorist who managed to snap a couple pictures of the cars, one as the two went racing by, showing the 599 may have been expecting some unwanted attention and was not sporting a license plate. Another of the Veyron while it’s pulled over.
