At first glance, it may look like a pink Ferrari Testarossa, but this vehicle is actually a 1986 Rinspeed Porsche 911 R69.

Ferrari has officially unveiled the 458 Spider, and it comes complete with a folding hard panel top. One caveat: its " 4.5-liter direct-injection V8 (with all its 562 prancing horses and trademark crackled red cam cover) is now hidden below decks instead of displayed as on the 458 Italia coupe."

At $300000USD, the 2012 Ferrari FF is an AWD super sedan powered by a 6.3L V8 that generates 651hp and 504 lb-ft of torque. On the technology side, "a single CPU melds and masterminds Ferrari's patented 4RM four-wheel-drive system; dual-clutch, seven-speed F1 gearbox; and the F1 Trac traction control and E-Diff electronic rear differential that estimate grip in real time to deliver maximum power to the pavement."

As for that performance, Ferrari engineers and executives took pains to position the AWD system as strictly a sixth man. Yet those front wheels can help shave about 0.3 tenths of a second from the FF's 0-60 time during a launch-control start.
