Prancing Horse Passion continues…

“Faint heart ne’re won fair lady…to the victor belongs the spoils…he who hesitates is lost…”

The Prancing Steed kicked the starting gate open once again. Vivacious, energetic, youthful, and extremely powerful is the 2015 Ferrari 458 Spider. It has received distinguished accolades and rave reviews since its inception from leading automotive journalists. The naturally aspirated V8 engine itself has received awards for its design and performance. It is the very first sports car of its kind with a fully retractable hardtop.

The 458 Spider – just as its siblings the 458 Italia and the 458 Speciale – is designed with aerodynamic architecture that slices through the atmosphere reducing drag, maintaining stability, and generating maximum downforce.

From darkness: 1959 Ferrari 250 Coupé by Pininfarina

Classic Virus

F1: Ferrari must hold on to Alonso, but could lose Raikkonen

Central Sport News

Ferrari team boss Marco Mattiacci has a lot on his plate as he seeks to turn the team around but one task overshadows all others.

Mattiacci has to find a way to convince Fernando Alonso to stay, because it has become abundantly apparent just how bad Ferrari would have looked in the last few years without him.

Despite all their efforts, Ferrari seem unable to get closer to the ultimate pace. In fact, the car’s performance has got further and further away sinceAlonso joined in 2010.

And now they are way beyond the point at which even Alonso can hide Ferrari’s shortcomings and keep up a title challenge – as he did against the odds in 2012.

Just imagine how they would look if he cannot be convinced that Ferrari will sort…
