Ferrari became the first team to introduce its new car today - after Mercedes introduced its new colors on the old Brawn car earlier in the week - and the teams seem already to be jockeying for position. Ferrari has already stated that the new car has set a record: The connections to the www.ferrari.com Web site.
"More than three million users were connected to watch the presentation, which let the Web site freeze for a couple of seconds in several moments," the team said in a statement.
Hmm, not being in Italy for this, I was one of those million connections. And I did wonder about that "couple of seconds" that just kept on repeating themselves. But I didn't care. That was a great way to see the launch, and to hear Luca di Montezemolo talk with a simultaneous interpreter.

I particularly liked his line about how he was sure that Michael Schumacher would have stayed with Ferrari had the team been allowed to race three cars. It actually gets me wondering: If Ferrari does not believe in Michael enough to have wanted to give him one of the two cars, then why does the team appear to be so sad about him going elsewhere?
Could be they're just scared. Let's hope, in any case, that the new Ferrari will set records on the track rather than on the Internet, and that it will not have repeated engine stalls of a couple of seconds here and there.
It will be interesting now to see how McLaren handles its Internet car launch tomorrow. Any bets that it will have some kind of Internet bragging stats to outdo those of Ferrari? And perhaps a line about how the servers were strong enough to cope with the two million connections?
In any case, it all makes it look as if the idea of the common car launch for all teams is a pipe dream.
Oh yes, the Ferrari car.I cannot yet see a massive difference to last year's - although I have not seen the two side-by-side and I do believe I can see the difference in the size that the larger fuel tank is forcing. But the stability in the regulations elsewhere means there will not in fact be a revolutionary difference.
Next week is when the real fun begins and we see how the cars look against each other on the track, in the long-awaited first test sessions.

A tuned-up Ferrari Enzo: for those who thought the original

THE FERRARI FXX Evolution is the ultimate track car. But the problem is Ferrari keeps them on the circuit, under lock and key. So even paying 1.5 million and joining this most exclusive club doesn't mean you can take it home to impress your friends.
Unless you take a base Enzo and build your own, which is precisely what Edo Karabegovic has done for partner and Canadian importer Zahir Rana. As Christmas presents go, it's right up there with the best of them.
The Edo Competition Enzo XX Evolution waits inside his Ahlen firm, the end result of months of work and glorious in the less familiar yellow finish. This is the Enzo taken to the absolute limit and it should soon become the fastest road-going Ferrari in the world when it goes beyond 390km/h with the timing gear attached. Considering the speeds Edo himself has achieved on the Autobahn late at night, it could be even faster than that and don't be too surprised if this joins the Bugatti Veyron in the 400km/h-plus club before too long.
http://xs.to/share-B236_4B5FE6B0.html
As Edo fires up the now 6.3-litre V12, the explosion of noise is so utterly, ear-splitting obscene that the police stop by to take a look and somewhere a kid starts to cry. And that's at idle. When I roll on to the industrial estate's outer road the car barks with every touch of the throttle and pulsates with racing tech and latent power.
The Enzo is a racing car softened for the road, that's how Ferrari built it, the Maserati MC12 was built on the same platform and that was a ground-up racer, but the Enzo was carefully considered, the edges were filed down, the spikes capped with cork. Edo, though, has thrown all that moderation in the bin and gone back to raw, race car brutality.
I flatten the throttle for the few seconds it takes for the first straight to disappear, it is an epiphany. There is a jolt, a shimmy from the rear as the tyres find traction on the cold, wet tarmac and then the car bolts forward like the lever in the rifle and just arrives at the braking zone. It demolishes straights with the same verve as the Bugatti Veyron and will rev all the way to a window smashing 9,600rpm.
The new Enzo XX comes with 840bhp and 779Nm of torque to play with, and a new triple plate clutch that Edo designed himself and can take full bore starts all day long.
It breaks 100km/h in 3.2 seconds, 200km/h in nine seconds and 300km/h in 19 seconds, on a dry day and an open road. Even here, in this windswept and wet corner of Germany, the sheer insanity of the acceleration leaves an indelible impression as cars and buildings turn into instant blurs with a squeeze of the right pedal. This car has Veyron pace, although it will be a little trickier on the limit.

ENZO RIP 6.5

Another crash, but it's an expensive fix to the looks of it.

OH,
I so was going to post the Ferrari commercial. I posted the link on two other websites. One of the best commercials ever.
Good one Mark.

Here is a commercial that recaps the history of Porsche.
Well sort of.

NWS in a European commercial way.

Another instance of too much money chasing too little talent. Fortunately he didn't involve some innocent citizen. As soon as they match the blood on the airbag to the blood of the owner (passenger) he's toast.
