Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

It's the new (read VERY new) Ferrari California:

http://www.ferraricalifornia.com/webapp/

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

That looks to be the Ferrari California.

It has a weight distribution of 47% to the front and 53% to the rear. It does about 193mph with a 0 - 62 time of about 4 seconds. Under the bonnet it has a 90 degree V8 with fuel direct injection. :D

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

I WANTED TO MAKE LOVE TO IT..

dam

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Yes, Ferrari's do that, it's F430 Scudmissle for me though thanks!

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Quiff you worry me!. Who cares?

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Mmm, you wait till I get home, Quiff. I'll show you beauty.

(My memory card is at home ;))

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

i now want to take this car apart and look inside the engine, mmmm

engine techies; I've heard that on direct injection diesals that if you run out of fuel and start having the injectors pump air through, this can destroy the injectors, leading to a heft repair bill. Is this true of direct petrol injection engines?

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

oh my god now I am worried...

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

This for a Ferrari

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

I wish they all could be Californians.


I mean my cars of course.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

I am very proud to say I overtook a Ferrari at the weekend going to work! I did lol in my helmet :-)

Shame it was coming to a halt, as it was waiting for his mate to catch up :-(
There was an asian wedding going on locally and the youngsters like to ride around in style for the day, and you usually find half a dozen quality cars driving in groups with wedding ribbons attached 8)

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Sadly they dont have the same effect on me. The restarunt that i had my birthday in, had one parked outside. I can take it or leave it. If it was a lamborghini then that would be a different matter. A Jalpa or a Muria, or even a countash would do. Id settle for the last of the Murculagos though (I know i cant spell them ;))

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Correct Aston Martin V8 Vantage 1977-1989. Now apparently they are making a new V8 Vantage http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/thecars/v8vantage

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

They've also just released the V12 Vantage: http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/thecars/v12vantage =P~

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom. :smt055

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Could be 2 things at play, either the air in the injectors actually combusting with remaining fuel, or lack of the lubrication from the fuel.

Either way, a petrol injector would be more resiliant since a flame front has a harder time reaching places than a pressure increase, and a petrol injector must cope with petrol, which is not a good lubricant.

That said, I dunno, other than that running out in a normal diesel (all "direct injection" in a way), isn't instant failure time.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

sorry mate,

Wont park next to you in future.. :(

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

That is a car for the more discerning connoisseur, rather than the "look at the shiny, shiny" carbon fibre licking mongoloid.

This guy = a ferrari.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Oooo the Mid Life Crisis version - I like it. 4 seats too so can even fit the kids.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

My old man works for Astons, said all the employees were shown the neww 177, nothing even touches it in his opinion.

The latest V8 Vantage is very very nice, he got taken round the test track and on the bank they clocked 164mph with him and the test driver in it. He had said about the V12 Vantage the other day.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

some one who can afford £500 curtains, lol.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

A Ferrari California! Ohh, I like the look of those even though I can't afford the £143,000 one costs.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Lovely car but the front end looks to be ripped off of one of these really:

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

I love a good exotic car as much as the next bloke but is there only me who thinks this car is ugly? i think it looks over designed.

The front lights remind me of those off of the Nissan GT-R, although a very nice car in it's own right, I wouldn't want my Ferrari to look like a Nissan. they also look a bit cheap and nasty in that chrome finish.

I don't like the rear lights or the chavtastic bonnet scoop either but that's just my pov.

Now these to me are really pretty cars, the obvious thing here is each to their own etc etc.

The Lambo Murcielago LP 670-4 Superveloce, which I believe to be that last time we'll see the Murcielago. I recon I heard somewhere that it will be replaced with an all new model.

And the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16m

These to me are beautiful cars:smt055

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Custard, I am happy to inform you......you have had a mare! :smt028

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

Always liked the TVR's myself due to sound.
There just different? I like the coupe styling with the long bonnet

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

There are few sayings quite as cool as:

"Let's take the Aston" :cool:

As lovely as this ferrari is, it's no DB9... =P~

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

I was working in london on tuesday and decided to walk from Kings Road up through knightbridge and up park lane as it was a nice day.

I must have seen maybe £50m worth of cars.

I saw 3 seperate bugatti veyrons, and 3 seperate ferrari enzo, my batteries went dead unfortunately so could only get a few snaps.

Re: so car geeks what is this ferrari
 

While working at the Eurotunnel terminal in 2001 there were always TVR's being towed off trains coming in from France. They would get towed off the train then get taken to the garage to wait for recovery. One day I saw 8 in the car park waiting for recovery! But you're right, they do sound lovely...when they work:D
