This weekend’s sixth round of the season is the third ever Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix, as well as being the second Sprint of the year. The Floridian city will play host to several Ferrari events, starting with the International Cavalcade with many major Ferrari owners taking part at the wheel of their cars having driven through some of the most scenic parts of Tennessee and Florida, prior to the main event, the Grand Prix itself on Sunday. It will be the team’s first outing under the Scuderia Ferrari HP banner, with the arrival of its new title partner and its cars will feature a unique livery specifically for this race, which will be unveiled tomorrow.

Scuderia Ferrari and its Special Liveries

Ferrari is looking forward to a memorable weekend in Miami, hosting several activities linked to the marque’s tradition and passion for innovation in this its seventieth year on the North American market. The Scuderia will be one of the stars of the show over the Floridian weekend and the cars will sport a special livery celebrating two colours from its past, Azzurro La Plata and Azzurro Dino. These shades of blue were part of daily life in Maranello for many years and are now coming back into play after an absence of around fifty years. The Miami weekend will also provide an amazing backdrop for HP’s debut as the team’s new title partner.

Here's the SF-24 for Miami

There has been a single leitmotif that has been thrilling Prancing Horse enthusiasts since 1947: the naturally-aspirated, mid-front-mounted V12, the very first Ferrari engine to roar its way through the factory gates in Maranello. Unveiled today to public and media against the spectacular backdrop of Miami Beach in celebration of the 70th anniversary of Ferrari’s arrival on the American market, the Ferrari 12Cilindri is the natural evolution of the company’s uncompromising powertrain philosophy, which over the decades has continued to develop without ever straying from its original DNA and the marque’s core values.

Ferrari 12cilindri

Very few associations can exhilarate and delight like the union between a naturally-aspirated V12 Ferrari engine and open-top motoring: the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider, unveiled today at an exclusive event hosted at Miami Beach, fuses these two very special sensations in a two-seater berlinetta spider powered by Ferrari’s iconic twelve-cylinder engine. This iteration of the V12 delivers 830?cv and keeps revving right up to 9500 rpm, offering the driver and passenger an even more exclusive open-air driving experience.

While any encounter with a Bugatti Chiron is indeed special, some examples strike a chord that much harder.

The team led the race until 48 minutes from the end, but was hindered by a stationary car in the pit lane as Pier Guidi was returning for the final refuelling. This situation thwarted the 296 GT3's chances of claiming a victory that had seemed assured.

It is August and few other classic car events are more prestigious than the Pebble Beach concours held in the Monterey Peninsula for the last 74 years. Over the decades this has grown to an entire week called „car week“ that builds up the tension with auctions, concours and parties for the Grande finale on Concours Sunday. And although most people associate car week with static car displays of perfectly restored classics gleaming in the Californian sun there is more to that and 50 years ago the historic races at the nearby Laguna Seca Race Track came to life building another pillar in the event schedule.

A collection whose existence was only a rumor, or mere whisper shared amongst enthusiasts. Inside of its barbed wire fence lived legends like the rarest Mercedes-Benz ever built, an Alloy Gullwing, long thought lost, and other fabled and rare cars. It was a collection never to be seen by the inquiring minds who had all tried, and failed, to gain entry.
