New Photos Detail The 2009 Ferrari California
Posted by Admin on July 20, 2008
We just received a load of pictures of the hot and dreamy 2009 Ferrari California. Ever since the new Ferrari GT made its well-planned debut, we’ve been hungry for some high res pictures. Well here they are in full, high-color, close-up, car-pr0n detail. We’re treated to views of the new Ferrari from pretty much every conceivable angle and all sorts of interior and exterior details. For instance, there’s a close up of the steering wheel and the gauge cluster off to the left which details all kinds of fun driver information. We’re even able to see the car’s dedicated “launch” button.
Hit the jump for all the interior and exterior pics, along with our commentary. Read the rest of this entry »

As you may know, British Automotive show TopGear is back and in full swing for their 11th season already. And to show that they are still “in touch with the needs of the people” they felt the need to give advice on fuel economy and saving money. (That and apparently the BBC is sending them letters and letters and letters). And in true Jeremy Clarkson style, he decided to gather 5 supercars and have a race. But it wouldn’t be an ordinary race, oh no. It had to have that Topgear / Jeremy Clarkson touch.

While i doubt we can say ALL Ferrari owner’s cant drive (we know Michael Schumacher owns a Ferrari or two). We can say a lot of Ferrari drivers are probably not lacking an ego, and probably have little idea of the true capabilites of what a Ferrari can do.
The combination over an overdeveloped sense of confidence, a crowd, add a heavy horse-powered, testy car, and a pole.. and what you get is the image above.

So for those drivers lucky enough to have gotten their hands on a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, a little bit of bad news for you. As Ferrari states, its most likely if you actually bought a 612 Scaglietti, you probably opted for the Ferrari automated manual F1 gearbox. With the faster-than-Schumacher shifts, the F1 transmission can make just about anyone feel like a genuine F1 driver. Unfortunately, the tranny can also leave you stranded on the side of the road if heat build-up triggers the clutch sensor.
Thus, Ferrari has an official recall of every 612 Scaglietti that could be affected by this sensitive F1 gearbox. Unlike a Ford F150 pickup, this recall of the 2005-2007 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti only affects 366 vehicles to be recalled to replace this sensor as well as a related cable holder and magnet that might cause difficult shifting or even complete inoperation. If you have one of these beauties in your garage, most likely you will be hearing from your dealer shortly. But for the proactive Ferrari owners, you can check out the official recall notice from the NHTSA after the jump.
