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.

The rim and wheel manufacturers from HRE had a variety of exotic cars at the SEMA Show to showcase their wheels, one being the Oakley Design Ferrari 458 Italia. This car was first released over the summer, with an original production number of five cars all in white. Since then it has been extended to create seven of these automobiles, another white one, and this red one seen here. With the addition of the 20-inch HRE wheels the Ferrari 458 dropped eleven pounds from each corner of the car. Oakley Design then installed a new carbon fiber front lip to increase downforce at the front by more than fifty pounds. A silver rear spoiler delivers an additional 48 pounds of the force to the rear when it is traveling at 150 mph.
