Prodigal sit-down with racing legend Stefan Johansson
We sit down and talk cars – very fast cars – with Swedish racing legend Stefan Johansson. He’s only raced for Enzo Ferrari in F1 and won the 24 Hours of LeMans. Apart from that, he’s just a great guy with a very odd job.

The greatest escape: Steve McQueen’s 250 GT Lusso
Steve McQueen has been associated with many different models and marques over the years. The Ford Mustang he drove in Bullitt is probably the most famous, as well as the Porsches he drove for Le Mans, but it is his own Ferrari 250 GT Lusso that Dublo will always think of when he pictures McQueen.

More on that vindictive Ferrari FF
A new Ferrari is always an occasion for us all to stop what we’re doing – and who we’re doing – and bathe in the sights and sounds of Maranello’s latest offering. Now, you’ll have already read a great deal online about what many are calling an Italian rip-off of the BMW Z3 M Coupe [...]

The new Ferrari FF: Really Ferrari? Really!?

Car gallery vs. garage? Ralph Lauren shows how it’s done
It’s always entertained us to no end just how much men love to collect. Anything. And the older we get, the more expensive our little hobbies become: watches, cars, art, property, businesses, partners (and children), Russian hookers…uh, well, you catch our drift. We apparently are rarely, if ever, satisfied with the concept of less is [...]

Ferrari 458: “It’s about power, torque, precision, accuracy – and covering ground at a remarkable rate.”
We’ve been rather taken with the Ferrari 458 ever since we chanced upon a video of two of them racing each other through the Tuscan hills. Now, one of our favourite sources of driving news, evo Magazine, has just posted a great video of Chris Harris road-testing one. We’re already in love with the looks [...]

Just because: Two Ferrari 458s chasing each other through the Tuscan hills
Just because we were surfing the interwebs this morning and chanced upon this little video that rather blew us away, we thought we’d share it with you.

Matte black cars: Trailer park or Hyde park?
We won’t lie to you dear readers, the idea of a car – any car – covered with a matte paint job used to sound pretty tasteless to us: the kind of thing only the less discerning car fan would ever consider. But then a funny thing happened. Over the last few weeks we’ve [...]

California dreaming
As we shake our heads at the natural catastrophes that have flattened Burma and split China, the motoring world is being battered by its very own tsunami: the Ferrari California. The Guide has been impressed and confused in equal measure by recent Ferraris – barring the exquisite 599 GTB Fiorano which is truly in [...]
