Given how far away we still are from personal spacecraft, perhaps it’s not surprising that most design concepts for extra-terrestrial ships haven’t evolved much in the last couple decades.

Which is the more amazing feat: Switzerland's Francois Gissy leaving a Ferrari 430 Scuderia sitting still at the dragstrip as he recorded 3.1gs of inline acceleration on his way to a top speed of 207 mph, or that he did this on a BICYCLE? That bicycle, incidentally, was equipped with a rocket engine supplying 4.2 kN (944 pounds) of thrust.

Ferrari SpA’s $3.5 million fine by the U.S. government is the largest ever imposed on an automaker for failing to quickly report customer complaints, injuries and alleged defects to regulators.

One does not simply walk into Maranello and buy the LaFerrari supercar. The right to spend a million dollars is a reward for the brand's most loyal customers.

A 52-year-old Ferrari just smashed the record for the most expensive car ever sold at auction. The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, with a somewhat dark past, was just sold by Bonhams for $34.65 million. That blew away the previous record, held by a Mercedes-Benz racer that sold last summer for $31.6 million including auction fees.

The extremely rare 1954 375 Ferrari Plus Grand Prix Roadster 0384AM, now restored, was auctioned off at the famed Goodwood Festival of Speed near London. It fetched £9.6 million, the equivalent of $16,336,691. "It was one of the most exciting things," Cincinnati attorney Zach Gottesman said Friday from London. "It's the most crazy thing I've ever seen."

Apple's iOS in the Car has been a long time in coming - we first heard about the automotive interface last June, and it still isn't ready despite the presence of relevant code in recent iOS 7 builds. The wait may soon be over, though, as the Financial Times hears that Apple will unveil formal car integration deals with Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo next week.

Richie Incognito told the Scottsdale Police Department that he smashed his own Ferrari in a fit of rage, according to a report from TMZ.

Wrecked Ferraris.

No Ferrari, no problem. The sleek and sexy screaming-red supercar of your dreams can be yours, in a way. You just need to track down French artist Benedetto Bufalino and get him to loan you the keys to his Ferrari Testarossa replica.

Ferrari confirm Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen will partner Fernando Alonso at the Italian team from next season.

A rare 1960s Ferrari convertible sold last night in California for a record $27.5 million. The 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S NART Spyder’s price was the most paid at auction for the Italian carmaker anywhere in the world and the most for any car bought at a U.S. public sale.

The Texas-based performance company is bringing its American knowhow to the already fantastic 458 Italia supercar, adding two turbochargers and increasing output to 738 horsepower at 8,400 rpm, and 532 lb-ft of torque. The stock 458 delivers 562 hp and 398 lb-ft.

Before heading for Budapest and the Hungarian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso had the opportunity to assess for himself the very latest phase of development of the quickest car ever produced in Maranello.
