There have been several tuning kits released for the Ferrari California, but this particular one from Novitec Rosso seems to top them all. Called the Race 606, the modifications include a front lip spoiler, vented hood, aggressive rear diffuser, and a bunch of carbon fiber accents. More expensive customizations include a lowered sport suspension to drop the Ferrari 35 mm, a hydraulic front lift system, and NF3 three-piece wheels wrapped in Pirelli PZero tires. Performance tuning came next with the 4.3-liter V8 boosted with the additions of a supercharger, intercooler, new intake manifold, larger fuel injectors, remapped ECU, and a high performance exhaust system. The dyno numbers are after the jump.

Check out this video from a car crash of a Ford F150 parked on the hood of a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia. It’s never good to see an exotic like this Ferrari car wrecked from the inexperience of other drivers or the owner himself. It is unknown what exactly happened, but the Ferrari driver said the Ford F-150 jetted out right in front of him. Who knows if the Ferrari 458 was speeding or not, but the accident happened on South Parsons Ave in Brandon, Florida. What’s even worse is the Ferrari was a brand new 2011 model with less than 500 miles on the clock! Hope they have good car insurance, hit the jump to watch the video.

This Ferrari 612 GTO concept has been circling the internet for some time now, but it just dawned on me what this car is really made of. Judging the body style, I would say it looks awfully similar to this Corvette ZR1 Wide Body Conversion, while the curves of the body and windows have me thinking Maserati GranTurismo, and Aston Martin One-77 bloodlines. Then come the headlights resembling those of the new Godzilla Nissan GT-R, and the rear is undoubtedly a one-off of the Corvette ZR1 with its squared style. Hopefully, Ferrari will take this 612 GTO Concept into consideration, because it combines some of the most stylish cars in the world today, and is a masterpiece in my opinion.
