1,000 Ferraris Set to Break World Record at Ferrari Mondiali

Something unprecedented is being planned for this weekend in Daytona Beach, Florida. The historic high banked turns of Daytona International Speedway will be host to over 1,000 Ferraris in order to break the world record for the largest parade of Ferraris.

We were curious why the track’s owner, Jim France, took a vacation to Maranello last year. Now, we can gather that this trip was probably intended to plan the details of the event. Taking place December 1st to 4th, this Sunday will see the first Ferrari Mondiali in the USA. At the Ferrari Mondiali, a plethora of event will be taking place, including the record-breaking lap and the anticipated Finali Mondiali 2016.

We invite you to join us along with Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The prestigious dealer has devised two packages for the weekend (Scuderia Shields not included). For the world record breaking parade around the track, $255 includes a parking pass and entry to the event. But if you want the VIP experience it will set you back $2,500 . That price includes:

Round Trip Vehicle Transport to/from Daytona*
3-Night Stay at the Hampton Inn Daytona Speedway
Ferrari Weekend Premium Hospitality Pass
Guinness World Record Attempt Pass | December 3, 2016 | 6pm
Parking Pass
Ferrari Paddock Lunch Pass
Finali Mondiali Dinner | December, 3, 2016 | 8pm
Guest Fee: $750 per person**

LaFerrari Coupe to Benefit Earthquake Victims

Car Detailing Phoenix LaFerrari

One of the strongest earthquakes in recent history rocked northern Italy back on August 24th. Measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale, it leveled countless historic buildings and took the lives of several hundred people. Only 499 examples of the LaFerrari were initially planned, but Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne has authorized production of an additional coupe that will be sold to benefit those affected by the earthquake.

Volunteers from across Europe and the Red Cross are working day and night to help those affected get back on their feet, so expect to see a bidding war for the rights to car #500. Similarly, Ferrari only built 399 examples of the Enzo with car #400 being reserved for the Pope. The Vatican recently sold the car and used the proceeds for the Church’s humanitarian efforts around the world. It was a sensation at Monterey last year as we watched RM Sotheby’s hammer it for over six million dollars.

Our thoughts go out to those affected by this tragedy, and if you are interested in helping please contact the Red Cross for more information.

Is This the World’s Most Expensive Paint Job?

After owning a car for a while, some owners find themselves wondering if they should paint their car. Some skimp on the paint job due to the price, while some go all out. But, what about those who spend five figures for an optional paint job?

In a video uploaded by Vehicle Virgins, we get the chance to see one of the world’s most expensive paint jobs. His friend had purhcased a McLaren 675LT Spider, but instead of going with a normal factory finish, he opted for something a little different.

When viewed from different angles this McLaren changes its color, turning the car into a rolling chameleon. How much did it cost to get such a finish? $60,000. That means the paint on his car cost as much as the base price of a new Porsche Cayenne. Insane? Yes. Unheard of? No. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a finish like this on a McLaren (C.J. Wilson’s P1). Also, according to Jalopnik, the price of the Porsche 918 Spyder’s Liquid Metal Chrome Blue Paint costs $63,000.
