Hamann’s Black Alloy Wheels for the 458 Italia
Hamann’s Black Alloy Wheels for the 458 Italia
The guys at Hamann are at it again, and they’ve got a brand new 458 Italia in their hands. Luckily (for us who love the way the 458 looks as it is), this time they’ve only modified the wheels, developing black, ultra-light 21 inch alloy wheels with a cross-spoke design.New Record for the Ferrari 599xx at the Nürburgring
New Record for the Ferrari 599xx at the Nürburgring
The Ferrari 599XX is the first ever production-derived sports car to break the 7-minute barrier on the classic 20.832 km Nordschleife circuit, lapping in 6 min 58.16 sec.
Yes, ladies and gentleman, it was announced in Beijing that the beastly 599xx has officially broken the 7 minute barrier!
The 599xx has seen the introduction of a few technological advancements, which will probably be ported over to the other Ferrari models in the future. Amongst them:
- The wheel doughnuts of F1 derivation which serve two purposes – to reduce turbulence and thus drag, and improve brake cooling.
- Ferrari’s High-Performance Dynamic Concept, a novel integrated design and chassis set-up that uses sophisticated electronics to govern the mechanical limits of the handling for maximum performance.
- The Actiflow™ System that increases downforce and/or cuts drag depending on the car’s trim during cornering.
