When thinking about supercars, one of the last things that spring to mind are their environmental friendliness.
Even though the very low and exclusive production volume of Koenigsegg can hardly be considered to have a measurable impact on the Co2 problem that global society is facing, it is an impressive statement that even a small and extreme company like Koenigsegg can afford to develop environmentally focussed solutions.
By following conscientious and forward thinking strategies, Koenigsegg has managed to create the Bio Fuel Powered CCXR - environmentally friendly 1200 with even more spectacular performance than the standard CCX. |

Well, it's obviously not a good idea to enhance something which is already perfect, but sometimes the effort pays off. Guys from the Japanese tuning studio J.N.Hephaiss claim that they have successfully found ways of enhancing Ferrari 360 Modena's almost flawless performance.
JNH's press release is somewhat hazy and overburdened with Oriental philosophy so I'll give you just the bleeding flesh of it: J.N.Hephaiss tries to enhance the Ferrari's performance with three new aerodynamic elements: new front canard, side splitters and rear diffuser, okay?
The canard, as the name implies, is used to create additional downforce at the front axle, at the same time increasing stability of the front wheels by deflecting air hitting them. The side splitters are also introduced to keep the air from being sucked under the car from the sides of the body, thus increasing the ground effect on higher speeds. The rear diffuser further enhances the flow of air from underneath the car, making the rear axle even more stable on the road.
That's basically all. Oh, and there is also a custom exhaust system working in either "Silent" or "Race" mode. The silent mode lets you crawl stealthily through sleepy suburbs and the sport mode can be turned on on the race track, making your Ferrari producing sound closer to that of the Formula 1 race monsters.

Man, these sure would look good in the TV room. Galleria Ferrari is exhibiting collector Sergio Cassano's eye-popping collection of Ferrari racing posters all summer. The posters reflect a variety of artistic styles from a number of different artists, and all of them have a common theme: Ferrari is the featured marque in each one. That's not surprising, given Scuderia Ferrari's rich racing history, and to make the exhibit even more special, the posters are joined by a pair of the racers that helped shape the Ferrari racing story over the years: the 500 F2 and 750 Monza. Come to think of it, those'd look really good in the garage. Y'know... to match the posters in the TV room.
The exhibition will run through Spetember 16.

 At the 1955 Mille Miglia, at 7:22am, British racing drivers Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson set out on what was to be a historic run. Moss’ Mercedes-Benz 300SLR, though visually similar to the road-going 300SL “gull wing” car, was based heavily on Mercedes’ W196 Grand Prix car… despite this; the Italian teams were the heavy favorites to win, with a strong showing expected from the Porsche 550 team. The SLR, wearing the number “722” (indicating the 7:22 start time) won the race, and turned Stirling Moss into a legend. |
