A visit to the Galleria Ferrari at Maranello

vac07 077

I had this collection of pictures i took in my visit to the Galleria Ferrari at Maranello in august 2007, so i decided to upload them though they are a bit old.. Sorry for the poor shots quality. I have to say that i'm a better photographer today.My biggest disappointment was the absence of the F40 at that time. But it was a great pleasure to see cars like the Dino, the 250 GTO and the old F1's.. The cars are going to be presented in a chronological order. So take your time and enjoy the visit!

GT's and race prototypes

My favourite supercars of all time

Through this post i would like to share with you my all time favourite supercars. Each one of them has something special that makes me want it to be someday in my dream garage...

Ferrari F40
year 1987

Ferrari F40 01

It's my all time favourite supercar and in my opinion the best looking Ferrari ever made. It was built to be as simple as possible. With its obsessive weight saving, the car was just 1100 Kg heavy, with doors that weight only 1.5 Kg each! A figure that is completely impossible to achieve today thanks to all the technology put in modern supercars..
