Over 600 Ferraris converged on Japan’s Fuji Speedway in the shadow of the famed mountain recently for the 2010 Ferrari Festival of Japan.
The event was organized by the Japanese branch of the famed auto marque in conjunction with the Corse Clienti department from Italian HQ.
Many of the owners took their vehicles to the track, including rare racers like the famed F399 single-seater from 1999, four 599XXs and six FXXs.
Ferrari’s next new model will be a 599 roadster, Ferrari chairman Luca de Montezemolo told journalists in London last night.
“A lot of our clients are saying they want an open, 12-cylinder car with very sporty performance. At Pebble Beach, we will present this car,” he said.
The Ferrari 599 Roadster will be the first open top V12 from Maranello since the 575 Superamerica five years ago.
Acer‘s latest entry in the smartphone category is a special edition fiery red Android-powered Ferrari-branded device.
The 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreen is encased with Ferrari’s distinctive crimson red and branded with the distinctive “Scuderia Ferrari” shield.
Specifications are the same as Acer’s Liquid E device: a 768 MHz Snapdragon Processor, Android 2.1, 5 megapixel autofocus camera, WiFi, and GPS.
As you probably know the Italian supercar maker has entered the entertainment business by building the Ferrari World Theme Park in Abu Dhabi.
Among the twenty or so rides and attractions featured at the park will be the GT roller coaster and this here is the first photograph of the car.
Each coaster vehicle in this particular ride is a replica of a Ferrari F430 Spider that can seat up to four people.
The Ferrari 599 GTO, the company’s fastest ever road-going car and is reported to have already sold out.
The 12-cylinder Berlinetta, made its first public outing last night at the Ducal Palace military academy in nearby Modena.
There it was unveiled to a crowd of 500 customers by the company’s top brass, including chairman Luca di Montezemolo and CEO Amedeo Felisa.
But according to a press release that accompanied the exclusive event for the existing Ferrari customers, the full run is already sold out !
