The low down on new Ferrari models—458 Spider

Ferrari has the automotive world buzzing again since rumors about the production of new models crept up in the rumor mill. While we couldn’t wait to see what Ferrari has in store for us in the next few years, sometimes, we are fortunate enough to get glimpse’s of what future Ferrari models will look like.

First on the rumor agenda is the talk about Ferrari presenting the new 458 Spider model during this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The 458 Spider stems from its not-so-successful predecessor, the 430 Spider. The 458 Spider is rumored to have a top-down hard top and we just couldn’t wait to see how that will turn out. There’s also rumor circulating about a hardcore variant of the 458 Spider that will wow us in 2013. Experts assume that the hardcore variant would carry a different name.

We all remember the Ferrari California with is V8 engine located at the mid-front, right? Rumor is that it will be heavily redesigned in 2013 while the Ferrari Italia will be revamped in 2014, even though the Italia just rolled out into showrooms last year. A little premature for redesign but no official word yet.
The sports car brand is also said to make a replacement of its 599 GTB Fiorano sometime next year with the proposed replacement vehicle under the codename F152, which will get a V12, direct injection power plant.

Lastly, word is that the successors to top Ferrari models—Enzo, 288 GTO, F40 and F50—will make its debut any time in 2012.

What is the first thing that you think about when you think about Ferrari? For me, it is all about the beautiful exotic feel of this particular car, however – I have to say that the new Ferrari 599 HGTE China Limited Edition is actually pretty cool. I did not think that an Italian automaker would come up with a China Limited Edition anything, but Ferrari has out-done themselves.

This is actually based on the 599 GTB Fiorano with the company’s brand new handling GTE package. The brand new Ferrari 599 HGTE China Limited Edition is also jam-packed with unique and different things, including the start button glowing a jade green and the tachometer features ancient Chinese characters.

If you are looking for something – a present for someone who loves everything China – the Ferrari 599 HGTE China Limited Edition is the car for them!

If you are like me, you are probably constantly cruising anywhere and everywhere trying to find the ideal car and the car that is honestly going to give you ‘that feeling’. What I mean by ‘that feeling’ is the feeling you get when you found your car, the car that you want more than anything. That is the 2010 Ferrari 599XX Sports Car for me and while I know that I am never, ever going to be able to afford this particular car, it is definitely at the top of my wish list.

The cool thing about the 2010 Ferrari 599XX Sports Car is that is has 700 – yes, 700 horse power and it is just about as serious as any sports car gets. Although I would love, love, love this car, there are so many people that will never actually drive it but rather just keep it on display, it truly is disheartening.

Check out the 2010 Ferrari 599 XX Sports Car though, for real. It is a car that everyone should at least look into – even if you can’t afford it!
