“The Ferrari California is the first Ferrari Gran Turismo with a mid-front 8-cylinder engine: a vehicle that uncompromisingly combines sportiness with versatility, guaranteeing the maximum driving pleasure characteristic of cars from Maranello. Like all new Ferraris, this model also contains a wealth of leading-edge technological solutions, starting with the new direct petrol injection V8 engine mounted in a frontal position and coupled (via the traditional transaxle system) to a dual-clutch transmission and seven gears. The Ferrari California is a convertible GT with retractable hard-top, making it a car with a dual soul: coupé and spider rolled into one. It is based on the original 2+ concept, which provides great flexibility for use in different driving conditions.” (Source: Ferrari)

After selling all 20 examples of the “jet fighter for the street,” Autoweek.nl reports that Lamborghini will produce a Reventón roadster. With a rumored production run of nine and a price of 1.2 million euro ($1.6 million), the drop-top looks to set a new benchmark for exclusivity.

The sweet aroma of burnt rubber and the sound of squealing tires filled the air on December 20th-21st, 2008 at the Formula & Automobile Racing Association (FARA) event at the Homestead Motor Speedway in Miami, FL. FARA was established in South Florida and is an organization made up of mainly amateur and beginner level drivers and enthusiasts dedicated to the world of auto racing. FARA provides its members with the ability to practice their driving skills and fine-tune their techniques in an economical, safe, and equal fashion as they divide their members into classes based on driver skill and their race vehicles. Lead by Reinaldo “Tico” Almeida (President), Bob Van Epps (Race Director), Reinaldo Santos, and Elier J. Rodriguez; FARA is one of the most highly organized and widely acclaimed racing associations in the South-Eastern United States. FARA uses multiple classes to group its members and provide an equal playing field for them including; two classes of Formula Cars, two classes of Sport Racers, and four classes of Production Cars.
