VIDEO: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Prototype Spied at Fiorano

Aside from the F430's successor, Ferrari is also working on other projects including this prototype model of the 612 Scaglietti that was spied on the Fiorano test track near Maranello. There's no way to be certain if it's a test mule hiding new mechanical hardware or if it's a facelift version of the four-seater Prancing Horse model, but a closer look at the spy photos, courtesy of 'CzechFerrari', does reveal a modified bonnet with something that resembles a hood scoop as well as new set of vertically stacked exhaust tips, just like the ones found on Ferrari's latest model, the California hardtop convertible. Take a look at the video after the jump and tell us what you think.

VIDEO: Ferrari F430 Crashes and Goes up in Flames in Romania

A Ferrari F430 went from supercar to 'hotrod' and eventually to an unsalvageable wreck when a driver in Romania lost control of the Prancing Horse model colliding with two oncoming cars and ending up in a ditch. Luckily, the driver and the passenger managed to get out of the F430 before the supercar went up in flames. Shock aside, the passengers of the two other cars were not hurt in the accident. According to the Romanian media reports, the driver of the F430 was fined 180 Leu which comes to around $59 or €43 at today's exchange rates. Watch the video after the jump.

Insane Citroen 2CV built atop Ferrari F355 Chassis Complete with 3.5-liter V8!

Outrageous? You bet. Controversial? Sure. Ferrari blasphemy? Quite possibly. But come on, it's not like you get the chance every day to see an insane project like this. Created by a bunch of crazy Italians at Nimik, the car you see pictured above combines the modified body of the iconic French Citroen 2CV Fourgonnette bread-van with the chassis and 375bhp 3.5-liter V8 engine of a Ferrari F355! The Prancing Horse-Double Chevron crossbreed took around 1,500 man hours to complete and cost approximately €180,000 or the U.S. equivalent of $250,000.

Understandably, the project was no easy task as the two cars share nothing in common other than the fact that they come equipped with four wheels... The crew over at Nimik modified the 2CV's body which is much wider than the stock Fourgonnette and now features a pair of giga-sizes vents on the sides that feed air to the mid-mounted Italian V8 powerhouse that drives the rear wheels. If you think that the end-result looks cool in the photos just wait until you see the Ferrari 2CV in action in the video below.

VIDEO: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Burns to the Ground in Moscow

The unrecognizable mass of metal you see pictured above used to be a new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. If we are to believe the reports coming in from Russia, the owner of the Prancing Horse model was driving somewhere in Moscow when he noticed smoke coming out from the engine bay. The driver is said to have stopped on the side of the road in an attempt to extinguish the fire himself - obviously his efforts went down the drain. The corpse of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti was towed away in a rather unfashionably (some may say ironic) way by a local dump truck. Click through to watch the scorching videos.

Rare Video of 1968 Ferrari 512 Modulo Concept on the Road

It's not often that we get the chance to see driving footage of a rare concept car like the 1968 Ferrari 512 Modulo that was created by Italian designer Paolo Martin who was then working for Pininfarina. Unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, Martin's futuristic Ferrari 512 Modulo was built on the chassis of the Ferrari 512 S racer featuring a 550HP V12 engine that could be seen through 24 large holes in the rear compartment. One of the most prominent features of the Modulo was its canopy style sliding roof that moved forward along with the windshield.

Magnum PI: Ferrari 308 GTS vs Dodge Challenger

All I can say is just read Tom Selleck's (aka, Magnum) self-dialogue during the chase! "About the time my hart started to pump again, I realised that whoever was on my tale didn't have enough car to catch me so I started worrying about wrecking the Ferrari. I know its crazy but that's what was going through my head. How could I pay for a total 60.000$ Ferrari ? via: Jalopnik
