This video is filmed by a YouTube user 4WheelsofLux for his 400th celebratory video.
It looks like this person that made this video is a friend of someone that owns a Ferrari 599 GTO and they take it for a spin in a metropolitan city in Dubai. They go around a couple times in a circle because the video shows the same street signs twice, and when the person edited the video, he alternates from the rear angle, where he has a camera mounted on the back, to the cabin shot.
The sound of the engine is sweet, but the driver really doesn’t open it up for any duration because I think he’ll get pulled over for speeding.
What do you make of this video of this yellow Ferrari 599 GTO?

Looking to find a Ferrari Enzo at a steal of a price? Preferably one without water damage? Then look no further than Dubai where this ultra-rare Ferrari supercar sits abandoned in the sun.

While there are folks in Dubai that can afford to simply toss away a million dollar Enzo, this car, found sitting in a police impound, appears to be one of a growing number of vehicles left behind by people fleeing the country’s strict bankruptcy laws.

With just 400 Enzos ever made (the 400th being a gift to the Pope), this 651-hp V12-powered exotic is destined to be one of the most valuable Ferraris ever.

It must be nice to have so much money to throw an Ferrari Enzo away like it is nothing. Anyone out there that can rescue this poor car from the heat and sand of the impound lot of Dubai?

The streets of Dubai are one of the few places in the world where you have a decent chance of catching a glimpse of a supercar on your way to work, they just usually aren’t pink. Behold the unusual. This far too pink Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was filmed cruising on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai .

The 599 is believed to be owned one of the members of the Royal Al-Thani family in Qatar which probably explains (but doesn’t excuse) the bizarre color choice. Amazingly enough, it wouldn’t be the first time royal colors have been to blame for a matte pink supercar.

The video is short and the person filming the video never gets real close to the car to get a good look at the driver and the front of the car. What do you think about the matte pink Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano?

Al Tayer Motors, the Ferrari and Maserati dealer for the UAE, has re-opened their Dubai showroom after an extensive refurbishment and expansion. It was unveiled during a media event about a couple weeks ago.

The showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road spans an area of more than 1,670 square-metres spread over two levels, almost double the size of the previous dedicated facility for Ferrari and Maserati. It has been extensively refurbished and features a car display area, a visitor’s lounge and specialised areas for both brands that allow customers to personalise various elements of their car. The display samples of the various colours, leathers, wheel rims, seats and steering wheels can be factory-fitted to customer specifications.

A delivery area to handover new cars is on the ground floor, where customers can be comprehensively briefed on the various aspects and features of the car they will drive away. The facility also includes a mezzanine level, which exclusively displays pre-owned approved vehicles that have been thoroughly checked and certified by Al Tayer Motors.

The showroom currently has on display the Ferrari California, the 458 Italia and the Ferrari 599 GTO, as well as the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS Awards Edition, GranCabrio, GranTurismo S, GranTurismo MC Sportline and the GranTurismo MC Stradale.

Ferrari has also announced the ‘Ferrari Genuine Maintenance Programme’. With effect from 15th of March 2011, clients ordering a Ferrari California, 458 Italia or FF from the authorised dealership network in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and any other GCC country will be entitled to a complimentary 7-year scheduled maintenance programme. The Genuine Maintenance programme covers each individual vehicle, and thus extends to later owners when the car is sold during the entire 7-year period. It is apparently the longest free-maintenance programme ever.

The programme covers the scheduled maintenance at standard service intervals (20,000 km, or once a year, with no restriction on total kilometres) along with the relative original spare parts, engine oil and brake fluid. The advantage to the owner is the assurance that the vehicle will be subject to regular annual inspection by Ferrari-trained personnel using factory-approved dedicated diagnostic equipment.

Maserati also offers a three-year full maintenance package on the Quattroporte and GranTurismo model line-up as well as the GranCabrio in the UAE.

If you want a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano but think it suffers from being too elegant, then the Mansory Stallone might just be up your alley.

Mansory has made quite a name for itself by customizing exotic machinery to its clients individual needs, and it is clear, money doesn’t necessarily buy you good taste. Hence over the years, we have seen many wild and extravagant modifications on many different exotic automobiles, and Ferrari’s are no exception.

Mansory had made just five copies of the modified 599. Along with changing the cars name to Stallone, Mansory has added a unique body-kit, special wheels and an interior of truly questionable taste.

Now you can have a Stallone of your own since one has propped up for sale in Dubai. The seller, Prestige Cars has not listed much information on this 720-hp supercar, so your guess on its price and mileage is as good as ours. Their website just states it is a 2008 model.

So if you’re interested in parking one of these in your garage, now you know where to find one.

What do you think about the gold Mansory Stallone Ferrari 599?

The Ferrari Store of Singapore celebrated September 23rd, 2010 its grand opening with a ceremony attended by Mr. Enrico Galliera, Ferrari Commercial & Marketing Director, Mr. Massimiliano Ferrari, Licensing and Retail Director, Mr. Edwin Fenech Ferrari APAC, Middle East and Africa CEO, and Mr. Teo Hock Seng, Managing Director of Ital Auto Pte who welcomed the guests together with the Scuderia Ferrari driver Felipe Massa.

The 170 square meters space is situated on one level in the spectacular ‘triple towers’ of the Marina Bay Sands Resort. Visitors will discover a wide range of lifestyle and luxury Ferrari products, together with a selection of items dedicated to Ferrari enthusiasts, children and collectors. These include miniatures and models of cars from past and present, a display case showcasing a crankshaft, valves and a piston, and the Cavallino collection of leather accessories and sportswear.

The design of the Ferrari Store Singapore reflects the Ferrari Atelier ambience of the main Ferrari showroom in Leng Kee Road, with furnishings of the highest quality and the combination of soft leather and sleek brushed lacquer. The display concept clearly evokes the dynamic lines of Ferrari’s legendary cars and characterises the story, tradition and spirit of Ferrari not only through the products on display, but also through finishes and materials that typify the two souls of luxury and racing.

The Singapore Ferrari Store will be managed by ItalAuto, which is also the official importer for the Prancing Horse in Singapore. This is the 38th store to open worldwide and it joins prestige Ferrari retail locations around the world, including those in Milan, Rome and Venice (Italy), London (UK), Barcelona (Spain), Athens (Greece), New York (USA), and Dubai (UAE), to name a few. The Ferrari Store development programme includes plans to reach the objective of 60 locations worldwide over the next two years in Europe, America, and the Middle and Far East.

Ferrari Store-New York

The Ferrari Store of New York, located on the corner of 55th Street and Park Avenue, celebrated its grand opening last Wednesday – with help from Zach Braff, Olivia Palermo, Matthew Settle and Justin Theroux – and showed off its collection of Ferrari-branded clothing and accessories in addition to its cars.

“A monobrand space is stronger than having two different brands from the same parent company,” Max Ferrari, Global Head of Licensing & Retail, told Huffington Post. “The idea was to make a very exclusive statement in New York, so we decided to put together the showroom of the cars and create a real store.”

But while some customers might think there’s no need for, say, a Ferrari-branded teddy bear or polo shirt or pair of sunglasses, the company’s North American president and CEO explained the purpose: indoctrinating kids into becoming Ferrari-lovers for life.

“The moment where a man or a women, any human being, defines his greatest aspirations and dreams are from 8 to 12,” Marco Mattiacci told New York Magazine of the brand’s strategy to feature children’s clothing and toys in the store.

From now on, those visiting the Ferrari Store will be able to chose from all types of Ferrari products (except cars, of course, but anyone can do that in the nearby showroom), including lifestyle, fan collections, miniatures, accessories, sportswear and so on.

So far, the Italian manufacturer operates, through Forza Retail, 5 official stores (including the NY one) in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu, and Miami. In the past two years, Ferrari engaged in a world wide offensive to open such locations across the world, with the target being to open 60 more the next two years all around the world.

By far the most exclusive store opened in early June in Dubai, on a 1,000 square meters of single-story floor space and after a considerable investment.

What Ferrari claims to be its largest store in the world with more than 1,000 square meters of single-story floor space entirely devoted to the Prancing Horse company, was officially inaugurated Thursday, June 3, 2010 in Dubai. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was hosted by Ferrari drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and Giancarlo Fisichella, together with Shafqat Malik, CFO Aldar Properties and Chairman of Fadar Retail, and Edwin Fenech, General Manager Ferrari Middle East & Africa. The Ferrari drivers also performed the now-traditional signing of the store counter. A Ferrari California showcased in the front windows, and right outside the new Ferrari Store, a selection of both new and classic cars was displayed.

Today there was a parade of Ferrari cars that started from Dubai, went to Abu Dhabi through Corniche and ended at the Yas Marina F1 circuit. The parade included nearly 100 historic Prancing Horse models and was opened by a number of new Ferrari Californias.

This event had been organized in collaboration with Al Tayer, the official Ferrari dealer in the UAE and the local Ferrari Owner’s Club.

Located in the prestigious Dubai Festival City Center, the new Ferrari Store was developed entirely by the Studio Iosa Ghini and is as much a homage to the history and spirit of Ferrari’s twin souls of racing and luxury as a straightforward retail outlet. Each area of the Store has thus been carefully designed as a special, once-off space in which shoppers can truly embrace the Ferrari experience.

The Dubai Store will stock a wide selection from the entire range of Prancing Horse products for enthusiasts and fans of the GT cars and Formula 1 tifosi alike. In addition to the display areas, there will also be a lounge, meeting rooms, video projection room and a Photo Gallery with a specially designed lighting system that can host photographic exhibitions. There will also be a fan interaction area, in which tifosi can test their skills on virtual versions of several different F1 circuits. A replica of the F1 car and a Ferrari California will also be showcased. Photographs of the new Store are available at www.ferrari.com.

Dubai is the 29th Ferrari Store and joins others in prestigious locations such as Rome and Milan (Italy), London (UK), Barcelona (Spain), San Francisco and Miami (USA), and Macao (China), as well, of course, as Abu Dhabi, where it opened in 2007. The Ferrari Store development program includes plans for the next two openings in Jeddah and Bahrain, and bringing the number of retail locations to 50 over the next two years in Europe, America, and the Middle and Far East. The official opening of the world’s largest Ferrari Store also marks the start of a rich calendar of events planned for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, closing the F1 season.

Image Released: Ferrari World has released an image of the cars for the dual launched GT coaster named Emotion Coaster

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has been under construction for two years now, and is finally set to open its doors to the public sometime later in 2010 around the same time as the second Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. And when it does, it will not only be the first theme park in the region, but the first of its kind in the world. Recently, Ferrari World has released an image of the Emotion Coaster, a Ferrari F430 Spider themed, twin tracked rolling coaster cars which each hold four passengers and will run on tracks parallel to another car, effectively “racing” it around the nearly-completed Ferrari World theme park in Abu Dhabi.

The twin tracks of Emotion Coaster will be fairly unbanked like a road would be. (You don’t find many roads banked at 45 degrees.) The result will be an awesome experience full of lateral G forces and fun Ferrari action. The tracks have a few strategically placed LSM boosters so that the two trains will constantly pass and overtake each other for a truly exciting racing experience.

As with almost everything Dubai does, this park will be breaking some records. Ferrari World will be the largest indoor theme park in the world when it opens. It also will feature the fastest roller coaster in the world, the F1.

The Emotion Coaster and the F1 will depart from inside the air-conditioned red dome of the park before flying into the hot desert air outside.

The park claims about the F1, “… the coaster is capable of 150 miles per hour, but may be operated at lower speeds.” This can mean two things:

A. The coaster will be a record breaker or…

B. The coaster will follow the same path as Ring Racer and not fulfill the claims that were originally made (and consequently let us down).

Ferrari World will feature about 20 rides including the F1 coaster. Other attractions include: A flume ride through a massive Ferrari engine, a 203 foot tall drop tower ride in the center of the park, racing simulators, a 4D theater, a double tracked LSM launched racing coaster, several go cart tracks, and an aerial simulation ride similar to Walt Disney World’s Soarin’ where riders trail a Ferrari through Italy. Ferrari World will also house several places to shop and dine as well as driving schools for junior drivers and training for experts.

Ferrari Enzo MIG-UI tuned by Gemballa

Ferrari Enzo gets a tuning kit from Gemballa, a German tuner specialized in modifying Porsche models. The result is called MIG-UI and it has a special look. The Ferrari Enzo is completely modified both on the exterior and on the interior and it is custom made for clients in Dubai.

It is named after Mustafa and Illyas Galadari with Mustafa’s name being first in this order because the base Enzo was his own personal car. The car is a limited edition model which has been produced for the “Illyas and Mustafa Galadari Group” of Dubai. The Illyas and Mustafa Galadari Group is Gemballa’s Middle East distributor. The details will be released at a future invitation only launch in Dubai.

The Ferrari Enzo got a new exhaust system with Porsche Carrera GT inspired exhaust tips, a new rear bumper, a spoiler and a new front bumper. The guys from Gemballa also integrated a set of LED headlights in the front bumper of the Enzo. At the same time, the roof got an air scoop for the interior ventilation. The interior received black and red leather, sewed only with red thread.
