2010 Ferrari Millechili Exotic Car Review

January 16th 2010 | Posted by
2010 ferrari millechilli

About it:  Ferrari Millechili is a lightweight two-seater (2200 pounds or even less) loaded with Formula 1 technology. In many ways it will be a successor to the Enzo, but instead of adding power, Ferrari will add lightness. Yes we know, when’s it gonna be ready for sale.

Jerry Seinfeld Prefers Porsches in his luxury sports car collection

Seinfeld’s vintage flipped Fiat was just a “tooling around” car, as the retired sitcom king prefers Porsches, which he began snapping up in 1993, when “Seinfeld” was hitting it big on NBC. He owns one of the largest Porsche collections in the world, including at least 10 Boxsters and an array of 911 models.

Seinfeld stores the cars on both coasts, some at a Santa Monica, Calif., airport hangar and others at a 22-space garage at his home on Further Lane in East Hampton.…

The 2008 Bugatti Veyron supercar packs a lot of horsepower

I opened my inbox one morning to find this question from a publicist: “Would you have time to drive the Bugatti Veyron?” Would I have time? Really? Would you believe, uh, yes? And that’s how I found myself at Westlake Village with a black and cream Veryon waiting in the shade of the porte cochère. Yes, it was perfect. It was like getting a date with that frighteningly beautiful woman I’ve had my eye on for a while now, and actually enjoying it.
