I don't think I can afford a real Ferrari, so a toy one would have to suffice. The Lego car is rather cool though. Kid had great fun assembling it. Check out the video. Car Specs: YEAR OF PRODUCTION 2013 ENGINE TYPE V12 ENGINE CAPACITY (CC) 6262 POWER (BHP) 730 TOP SPEED (MPH)211 ACCELERATION (0-60MPH) 2.9s

It's a commonly known fact that London often becomes the destination of choice for millionaires all over the world, especially during summer time. It seems that the millionaires just love the ambient summer temperature in the city. Well, that's besides the fact that most of them seem to love showing off their expensive collection of cars. This seems even more true for millionaires coming from countries with a climate hotter than that in London, just like this fellow millionaire from Dubai. Just like any other person in London, this fellow seemed to be enjoying his time in the capital city of England. However, it was only so true until he tried to get his Ferrari F12 Berlinetta out of a parking lot. Unfortunately for him, he bumped the right rear quarter of his quarter-of-a-million pound vehicle into the wall. But perhaps he didn't think of it as unfortunate, heck, he probably didn't even care - he's a millionaire after all. The Italian prancing horse didn't seem to be visibly damaged in the video (below), though. Watching the video till the end, the guy finally seemed to care about the scratch he might have caused on his car. Near a red light, he decided to get out to check the right rear quarter, the part he bumped into the wall. Honestly, I can say he seemed pissed afterwards. Well, I wonder what was actually on this guy's mind. Not enough with bumping his car - which some of us (including me) may never be able to buy, he went further to run a red light. Did he think he could do just as he wished whenever he got pissed? Alas, he got trapped in the yellow box marked around the junction as a result. Well, watching the video makes me wonder that it may not be suitable to drive a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta around the twisty narrow London streets. The car seems to better suit the rolling landscape and twisting hills in the country where it comes from. For those who still don't know, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta carries a 6.3-litre V12 engine under its hood. It can produce a total output of 730bhp. That said, this particular model is also one of the most powerful monsters the Maranello-based automaker currently has in store.

As above, looking for one for my 4 yr old daughter. If you have one to let go please PM me price and contact info. Thanks!

In 1963 steps were made to improve the car, which included an all-new, Pininfarina-designed body. Sometimes referred to as the Series II or '64 GTO, only three examples originally received the new body. These were chassis #5571GT, 5573GT and #5575GT. Thier bodies were radically different from the previous GTOs, reflecting the style of the upcoming 250 LM. Chassis & Engine For the 1964 race season, Ferrari was prepared to use their mid-engined 250 LM in Division III of GT endurance racing. Unfortunately the FIA rejected homologation for the 250 LM, forcing Ferrari to revert to the GTO. Revisions were necessary to the car to keep it competitive. As homologation stated, the 1964 GTO chassis had to remain the same as the first design. So, mechanically speaking, the '64 GTO was very similar to the '62/'63 cars. The only chassis modification adopted by the FIA, was a wider track, brought forth by using wider wheels. The engine for the '64 GTO retained the familiar Tipo 168/62 V12. Slight modifications included different tuning for the Webber carburetors and smaller exhaust manifolds. Such modifications did not improve peak power, but widened the overall power band. Pininfarina's Body After being forced to use the GTO, Ferrari had the body reengineered by Pininfarina and produced by Scaglietti. The new Pininfarina design was both lower and wider than the original GTO. While this may have improved handling, the shortened frontal area caused more drag than the original GTO. As with the early GTOs, different devices made each '64 GTO unique. As an example chassis #5571GT had an airfoil atop its roof while all other '64 GTOs had a rounded edge. One especially interesting development was the use of rammed, cold air induction on chassis #5573GT and #5575GT for the 1964 LeMans. Previously, all other GTOs used unforced, warm air-induction. 1964 Race Season Stiff competition came in 1964 from Shebly with the Cobra Daytona Coupe and Jaguar with the Lightweight E-Type. Continually, Shelbly would hold the fastest lap times around various courses, but it was reliability that would plague the American team. Like the year before, Ferrari dominated the GT class in 1964, taking class wins at most of the 15 races during the season. Outright victories were taken by GTOs at Daytona and the SPA 500 kms. The 1964 LeMans saw an especially heated battle between Shebly and Ferrari for the GT class. Four GTOs entered the event, all aimed at beating Shebly's Daytona Coupe. The result was outstanding for Ferrari, taking the overall victory with their Ferrari 275P, but the GTOs were unable to beat the Cobras and missed the GT victory. Conclusion Shebly, with his Cobra, proved the GTO was reaching the end of its racing career in 1964. Ferrari unable to homologate the 250 LM, withdrew from GT racing. This left the '64 GTO to mark the end of the 250-series racing berlinettas which began in 1954. After ten years of complete dominance in the field, the 250 series left a string of serial success that will be hard to match for decades to come.
