From a distance the Fahrradi Farfall FFX might have you fooled that it is the real deal, an exotic Ferrari FXX. But it’s not, it’s actually a custom made replica that isn’t powered by an engine. Instead two sets of bicycle pedals power the light weight body to a whopping speed of 10 mph. If this idea sounds familiar it’s because Hannes Langeder created the Ferdinand GT3 RS.

The all new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the successor to the aging 599 GTB Fiorano. The F12 will be the only production Ferrari with a front mounted engine in 2013 but don’t worry that won’t affect its performance. Sporting a powerful 720 hp V12, the Berlinetta is 3 inches shorter than the 599 and weighs less than the hardcore 599 GTO. Ferrari released a stunning video highlighting the origins and production of the new GT coupe.

The Ferrari F40 was thee poster car during my child hood, I remember this car because of its boxy shape. Even after all these years the F40 is still one my favorite super cars of all time, partly because it sounds god damn amazing with its twin turbo V8. This video only proves how great this car sounds. Your ears will thank me. On a side note, have you seen a F40 with its twin popped up? No because it’s ugly as hell.

What a mess! A 20 car group of super car owners were traveling on a Hiroshima when one driver lost control of his car and smashed into a guard rail. The casualties: 8 Ferrari’s’ (355′s 430′s, 360 and a 512), 3 Mercedes Benz’s, a Lamborghini Diablo, a Nissan Skyline and a Toyota Prius. The police officers on the scene do not believe that the drivers were stunting but instead think the wet roads were a reason in the crash. Looks like there will be 8 more Ferrari tables.

This isn’t the first time an artist re-purposed a crashed Ferrari. Charly Molinelli, an industrial/graphic/interior designer took a crushed Ferrari block and placed it a wooden coffin making a very bad ass coffee table. I couldn’t find anymore details but the table simply looks amazing!
