5 or 6 years seems to be around Ferrari`s V8 mid-engined coupes life span. The F430 replaced the F360 in 2004, so it`s time for this to bow to a brand new hot Italian.

Matte black R8 by Audi - simply breathtaking
A simple paint job in matte black can really change the whole attitude of an auto.

So it`s always exciting to see the next vehicle that gets modified by this black finish.The Audi R8 matte black was spotted in Amsterdam. Giving the low-luster paint of the car but keeping all that shiny carbon fiber on the side blades makes this unit... extra cool, fabulous indeed... amplifying the pleasure of driving...

Ferrari California in U.K.
Ferrari announced the pricing in the U.K. for the California 2009: £143,000. Meaning the California is placed right between the hard-top F430 and the spider.It means also we win finally on the exchange rates.

So if California auto slots technically in between those 2 vehicle, America will be paying less than U.K. Amazing...California runs with a V8 4.3-liter engine delivering 460bhp via the rear wheels, having 357lb ft torque. The maximum speed is of ...
