The Italian automaker has unveiled their celebratory anniversary logo at the  2016 Paris Auto Show , meant to represent 70 years of history while also pointing to the brand's future. Naturally, the logo will only be used on a small number of cars. The first to get it will be the  LaFerrari Aperta hypercar , Ferrari's latest limited-edition special series, which also represents a unique model in terms of technology and styling. Another huge announcement is the 70 different individual liveries created by the Tailor Made atelier, which are to be used to create a maximum of 350 unique cars - where each can be used once on one example of five models from the current Ferrari range. Naturally, some if these liveries made it to Paris so that people could admire the likes of the "Stirling" F12berlinetta, "Schumacher" 488 GTB, "Steve McQueen" California T, the "Green Jewel" 488 Spider or the 1953 375 MM-based 488 Spider featuring a three-layer ...

Ferrari has confirmed that it will build one final example of the  LaFerrari  to aid the victims of the deadly earthquake that hit the center of Italy on August 24. Road and Track  reports that the news was announced by  company chairman and chief executive  Sergio Marchionne in Maranello. This extra LaFerrari will push production from the original 499 units to the 500 mark and once built, it will be auctioned off. While it isn't yet known when the car will be sold, this isn't the first time Ferrari has extended production of a limited-run model. In fact, the company famously produced a 400th example of the Enzo for Pope John Paul II. It was later sold to an American collector and all the money donated for humanitarian relief. That final Enzo has since gone on to become the  world's most valuable , selling for $6.05 million last year. The earthquake which shook Italy a week ago killed almost 250 people, injured thousands and left small towns in ruins.

After months of speculation and  numerous leaks , the new limited Ferrari hypercar is finally revealed - partially.  Ferrari still keeps the official name, technical characteristics and the number of cars produced under wraps up until the car’s official debut at the Paris Motor Show.  All we know so far is that  the open-top LaFerrari  will be available with a carbon hard top and a removable soft top while the hardware remains the same with its fixed-roof brother.  This means that under the bodywork lies the glorious 789hp V12 paired to a 160hp electric motor for a total output of 950hp (963PS). Ferrari also lets us know that the chassis has been extensively modified in order to offer the same torsional rigidity and beam stiffness with the normal LaFerrari, if you can call a LaFerrari normal.  Even the aerodynamics of the bodywork have been further honed in order to offer the same drag coefficient when driving with the roof off so don’t expect any n...

NextEV is planning to release a new McLaren P1-rivaling hypercar by the end of next year. The Chinese-backed NextEV company is headed by former president of Ford of Europe Martin Leach and also runs a Formula E team. They won the Formula E drivers’ championship with Nelson Piquet Jr. in 2014-2015. The NextEV supercar is reported to have performance to rival the likes of the McLaren P1 and LaFerrari. It will also likely rival both cars in terms of price as well. The car has reportedly been under development for the past two years in Munich. “The first car is designed to attract attention and to show what we can do from a technology standpoint,” Leach said. “But we will ultimately offer a wider range of models.” The NextEV hypercar will be launched in Europe by the end of next year. We will keep you updated as we hear more.
