Ferrari 599 GTB goes up in flames on delivery drive
It was just another day in Martin Bullen’s rather fortunate work life - driving a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, and getting paid to do it. Of course, he was driving it to the repair shop, but still, there are worse ways to make a living. And then, while stopped at a traffic light the car made a noise, then burst into flames, destroying the Italian supercar right before his eyes. Bullen was then faced with the difficult call to his boss, made just minutes after firefighters arrived on the scene, too...

A Ferrari motorcycle? Only in our 1:12 scale dreams
Click on the image above for more high-res shots of the Ferrari Motorcycle modelThere are plenty of awe-inspiring Italian motorcycles for us to dream about, but still, a Ferrari motorcycle would surely be a welcome addition to the sportbike ranks.

Another Ferrari spontaneously combusts
Ferraris are best known for their looks, performance, and exclusivity, but lately, it seems one could add flammability to that list of attributes. The latest case of Ferrari flambé involves a beautiful black 599 GTB Fiorano, which self-ignited at a stop light while being driven by someone who wasn't even the car's owner. Martin Bullen, who works at supercar garage Romans International in Banstead, UK, was at the wheel when he heard a strange sound followed by a brilliant display of smoke and...
